When I was in school my teacher was a friend of the production designer Alex McDowell so when this movie released he came to do a lecture. I’m still amazed by this movie’s faithfulness visually to the source and how hard they worked to fit everything in. I seem to remember McDowell talking about how all of the Night Owl books were fully printed with text under the covers because that was the level of detail they were wanting.
I only just now got the double entendre of Hollis Mason's book "Under the Hood," referring to both his super hero costume and being a car mechanic. I don't know how I never noticed it before 😂.
I saw this movie 4 times in the theaters and countless times on DVD. I've read the comic a few times and I love how MT is now breaking it down and I still love it. Thank you Paul and MT!!!
I love you , MT. I love everything about the way you do what you do. That being said.... it's "FRAY-tuhr", my guy. But for real for real.... this was an absolute masterpiece of a breakdown that only you could put together so well.
I almost edited my comment to write the same thing. I immediately developed a parasocial relationship with MT and his presentation, such that I felt like I needed to correct his pronunciation and I knew he'd take it in stride haha
Zack Snyder has an incredible talent and eye when it comes to moving images, and here he had such a dense material to build on its elevated Watchmen to something more than a comic and a movie. When I read it I see and hear the movie in my head and when I watch the movie I remember so much from Alan Moore’s comic, it a wonderful mythos of an alternative history . . .
I have watched this movie many times. I have read the comic series several times. Yet, you still uncovered several Easter eggs that I missed. Impressive.
Another fun, subtle detail is that when Adrian Veidt is around his friends in private like Nite Owl he speaks with a very slight German accent. You can hear it best when Dan goes to see him at Veidt tower. He speaks in a more American accent the rest of the time when in public. In the comic he is of German origin and I think he masks his accent because at the time WWII was very fresh in people’s minds and he wanted to distance himself from them as much as possible.
How about all along the watchtower playing as they approach… a wild cat did growl,.. two riders were approaching… and the wind began to howl. Perfection
Those playing cards are very specific. They are a deck designed so the magician can accurately predict what card you are holding (the patern on the back is unique to each card). This kind of deck plays well into the symbolism of fatalism and gives someone the illusion of control while orchestrating events. 24:03
Really impressed. I am old enough that I actually bought the original comic run as it was released. The insights into the Black Freighter were bang on. Overall I am enjoying these film analyses. I’m a big physical media fan. And everyone on this channel that you’ve covered I actually own.
MT I hope you know that we Heavy Spoilers fans ABSOLUTELY LOVE that you are now apart of this community. I have always loved your breakdowns and now that I can hear them more frequently. I can't wait to hear your ideas, conspiracies, and just overall lore. WE LOVE YOU MT
Absolutely love Watchmen! Zack Snyder gets alot of flack for his films, but Watchmen will always be his crown jewel. It's just so damn good. Also, it's damn good to be an MT fan! Hearing big MT let loose and drop f-bombs is awesome 👌 probably not for the channels revenue, but for us, hell yeah 😀
21:05 - In addition to the Pale Horse reference, there's also an ominous allusion to Krystalnacht, which is translated as "Night of Broken Glass" and represents a WW II-era atrocity. Definitely another intentional reference to oncoming pain that the city of Manhattan suffers in the movie, Watchmen.
Good job indeed. I know the ultimate edition is not easy to get through. BTW, I believe Freighter in Black Freighter is pronounced fraiter like crater since it has deadly freight which rhymes with date.
Great video, but one minor complaint. It's freighter (pronounced fr8er) as in the word freight plus -er; A ship that carries freight. Not frighter, as you pronounce it. Also, at 22:40, I think that's an anti-masked hero demonstration, not an anti-Vietnam demonstration (the Vietnam war being over in the story at this point) as you can see by the signs they're carrying.
I already knew a heck lot of Easter eggs and details in watchmen, seen a lot of vids on it… yet somehow the Thomas and Martha Wayne saved by night owl bit completely passed me by, and there’s even the batman comic on the wall to forever laugh in my face every time I watch the movie. Unbelievable, and only 7 mins in to this vid. Keep up the fantastic work MT. Edit: blatantly shows that i never read thumbnails either, as its plastered all over it... i just saw watchmen and clicked. 😂
2:06 You are spot on with the 1911 sitting on top of a Hustler. But I don't think fear or paranoia are components of having a gun within reach. When you live by the sword, over childless decades, you accumulate swords, lying around everywhere.
Loved this but in the future I'd like to hear the artist's name mentioned alongside of the writer of the comic book as well, especially in the case of watchmen because Dave Gibbons' art massively inspired the visual look of the movie & is/was as important as Alan Moore's story.
21:05 another, possible, easter egg: below Pale Horse is the word 'Krystalnacht', maybe referencing the destroying of Jewish property in pre-ww2 Nazi Germany. Symbolising the hatred towards superheroes and the wish of them being outlawed.
Just a thought, the sequence where the military shoot at the flower power peeps could also be a nod to the Kent State University massacre, the students were protesting the Vietnam war, a VERY important part of the movie / comic!
Great video! Rorschach's mark is a pair of mirrored Rs (for Rorschach), not Ls. The photographer of the famous V-J shot was Eisenstadt, not Ernstadt. You make me want to watch the opening again just to savor every moment.
Y0Ooo, my dude MT be all up on Heavy Spoilers now! Way to be! This such a good fit, man, so stoked for ya. I've seen plenty Watchmen breakdowns, but I had to stop what I was doing and catch this whole thing. SwEEt swEEt BEans! Human bEan juicE! Let's just say this is that channel I always have the notification bell on for!
Really good breakdown; seriously, great job getting MT on here. Just a couple of notes: a) the scene with The Comedian and Nite Owl was an anti-masks protest, not a Vietnam protest; b) Twice in this vid you read the clock face wrong. The clock during Nixon's 3rd term victory is being moved to 10 minutes to midnight, not 5. Whereas the watch face just before the big blue bomb goes off reads 5 seconds to midnight, not 10; c) As well as the possible gay thing, Ozymandias' computer file marked "boys" could also be a reference to "The Boys"; another hugely popular, deeply violent comic book story about the dark side of a world where superheroes exist.
It's pronounced "Freyter". The Black Freighter in song, and legend (see Pirate Jenny in Kurt Weil!), is a ship - not whatever the unintentional mispronunciation creates. No idea why this very video gets this wrong, as it creates confusion for me at least. Otherwise, n complaints - excellent video!
You have seriously found some wild easter eggs. How many times did you ŕewatch that movie in order to catch all that stuff?? Amazing, regardless of my critical comments earlier. Lol I did really enjoy this video. Overall, well done Brother
That was great - lots of stuff I never picked up on. Don't agree with the comedian and Ozymandias' 'superpowered' fighting skills negating the arrival of Dr Manhattan though. I never really considered them to be super powered - not that I fancy trying to punch a chunk out of a wall anytime soon - but always considered them to be just a lot better than the average brawler found in a comics universe - much like Batman.
I agree with this sentiment. Especially since not only are they successful heroes, but there's other elements of super tech to the world. Rorscharch's mask, and all of the later Nightowl's manufactured bat-gadgets.Even the source material plays up that The Comedian was built like a weight lifter and he must have been attacked by two guys to have his apartment thrashed and been thrown out that heavy plate glass window. Peaks of human prowess.

New media rockstars are idiots for not keeping this man. Another banger !!
Love the addition of MT to the team. I’m loving this channel even more now ❤️🐐
The fact that you're calling some of these like Upgrade "classics" makes me feel really old 😂😭
Freighter.... is pronounced "fray-ter" Not "fight-or"
I missed you 😩
"So much like the Comedian did with the pavement..." I was not prepared for that level of savagery right out the gate 😂
It took three watches before I noticed the Comedian on the Grassy Knoll ...
Right?! I got smashed in the face with that line.
Just like Comedian did with the pavement (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
@@ChurchNietzschewhat?? How????
Literally read this as he said it 😂
No fr tho 😂😂😂
As a huge Watchmen nerd I have to admit, I'm impressed at the number of things I missed. Great vid my dude.
When I was in school my teacher was a friend of the production designer Alex McDowell so when this movie released he came to do a lecture. I’m still amazed by this movie’s faithfulness visually to the source and how hard they worked to fit everything in. I seem to remember McDowell talking about how all of the Night Owl books were fully printed with text under the covers because that was the level of detail they were wanting.
Awsome.
Alan Moore was unappreciative
Getting MT on heavy spoilers was a genius move. Love his breakdowns. Would love it if he done some watch alongs on some classic comic book movies
Agreed
MT....Watchalong??? Take my money.
I only just now got the double entendre of Hollis Mason's book "Under the Hood," referring to both his super hero costume and being a car mechanic. I don't know how I never noticed it before 😂.
Damn now I feel slow 🤦🏿♂️😂
This is my favorite movie. I’ve seen it a million times and have broken it down in every way possible. You did a great job MT!
Coolness.
My favourite film of all-time is Tim Burton's Batman
Best comic-book-movie, need to get my hands on this ultimate cut!
every way? zero mention of the doctor's settlement on another planet in the movie and his love interest.

I saw this movie 4 times in the theaters and countless times on DVD. I've read the comic a few times and I love how MT is now breaking it down and I still love it. Thank you Paul and MT!!!
I approve this comment.
I'm the same; seen the movie countless times and MT pointed things out that I never noticed after all this time!
I love you , MT. I love everything about the way you do what you do.
That being said.... it's "FRAY-tuhr", my guy.
But for real for real.... this was an absolute masterpiece of a breakdown that only you could put together so well.
I almost edited my comment to write the same thing. I immediately developed a parasocial relationship with MT and his presentation, such that I felt like I needed to correct his pronunciation and I knew he'd take it in stride haha
Thank you! I thought I was going crazy
I like how he did a better job with the latin than he did with "freighter" for some reason. :D
FOR REAL, PRONOUNCE THE WORD FREIGHT MY GUY
FRAY-T or FrATE
Along the same lines a lair is not a layer. Also the the famous picture is of a sailor and a nurse not a soldier
Zack Snyder has an incredible talent and eye when it comes to moving images, and here he had such a dense material to build on its elevated Watchmen to something more than a comic and a movie. When I read it I see and hear the movie in my head and when I watch the movie I remember so much from Alan Moore’s comic, it a wonderful mythos of an alternative history . . .
This is so good. I'd forgotten how awesome this movie was. MT should totally do a long overdue breakdown of the (magnificent) Watchmen miniseries.
I have watched this movie many times. I have read the comic series several times. Yet, you still uncovered several Easter eggs that I missed. Impressive.
Yeah mate, MT had been killing it on Heavy Spoilers! I see this new exciting light in him now. Keep up with the great breakdowns guys! One love guys!
He’s my second fav person from new rockstars and bring soooo much energy and i love it and his personality
@@explosivez1096he’s been best so had I’ve heard… his giggles are fun 😊
Another fun, subtle detail is that when Adrian Veidt is around his friends in private like Nite Owl he speaks with a very slight German accent.

In the comic he is of German origin and I think he masks his accent because at the time WWII was very fresh in people’s minds and he wanted to distance himself from them as much as possible.
I love how MT’s profanity adds so much color during breakdowns. It sounds comedic and fun. Much like Paul’s.
"Freighter" is pronounced "Fray-ter".
Same, I was super frustrated by that
And now I can watch the rest ......
Yes. They carry fr8
Yepper same here lol.
Bro please tell me when he says that 🤣
How about all along the watchtower playing as they approach… a wild cat did growl,.. two riders were approaching… and the wind began to howl. Perfection
Those playing cards are very specific. They are a deck designed so the magician can accurately predict what card you are holding (the patern on the back is unique to each card). This kind of deck plays well into the symbolism of fatalism and gives someone the illusion of control while orchestrating events. 24:03
Interesting, thanks
Kids could get these in magic show bags back in the day. Marked cards have been around as long as card games

Kick ass breakdown MT! Loved it
Absolutely love Watchmen! Zack Snyder gets alot of flack for his films, but Watchmen will always be his crown jewel. It's just so damn good.
Also, it's damn good to be an MT fan! Hearing big MT let loose and drop f-bombs is awesome 👌 probably not for the channels revenue, but for us, hell yeah 😀
It takes me 4 hours to make my 10 minute videos, so I know how long these take. Well done!!
MT kills it everywhere. It's just him, not the places.... Paul and MT are a great team.... we get a lot of personality over here ....
YOOOOOOOOOO ITS MT!!! So good to hear his voice again! Nice move man! Great content
I loved this movie, I wasn't expecting such a detailed anylisis good on you !
I hope you cover the series too! Great breakdown.
21:05 - In addition to the Pale Horse reference, there's also an ominous allusion to Krystalnacht, which is translated as "Night of Broken Glass" and represents a WW II-era atrocity. Definitely another intentional reference to oncoming pain that the city of Manhattan suffers in the movie, Watchmen.
I love this movie. Thanks for the overview. Always good to hear MT
Great breakdown. MT is a perfect fit for the channel.
Didn’t know MT was here as well. Love this guy and love seeing another channel show this big hat man some love.
I'm so glad MT landed at another channel I love. And I'm so glad someone broke down the Ultimate Edition of Watchmen! Great work here.
Good job indeed. I know the ultimate edition is not easy to get through. BTW, I believe Freighter in Black Freighter is pronounced fraiter like crater since it has deadly freight which rhymes with date.
Excellent video as always. Soooo many pearls in this video, I might have to watch it twice.
Great video, but one minor complaint. It's freighter (pronounced fr8er) as in the word freight plus -er; A ship that carries freight. Not frighter, as you pronounce it.
Also, at 22:40, I think that's an anti-masked hero demonstration, not an anti-Vietnam demonstration (the Vietnam war being over in the story at this point) as you can see by the signs they're carrying.
Thank you --- it was like nails on a chalkboard for me. It's "FRAY-ter" not "FRY-ter"
I already knew a heck lot of Easter eggs and details in watchmen, seen a lot of vids on it… yet somehow the Thomas and Martha Wayne saved by night owl bit completely passed me by, and there’s even the batman comic on the wall to forever laugh in my face every time I watch the movie.

Great work guys ! Thank you to Heavy Spoilers letting MT cook , homie is just a vibe to watch
Man I just want to say dude, I love your content and this channel has quickly become one of my favorites.
Great Job MT
HAPPY TO SEE MT HERE AWSOME MOVE💯
2:06 You are spot on with the 1911 sitting on top of a Hustler. But I don't think fear or paranoia are components of having a gun within reach. When you live by the sword, over childless decades, you accumulate swords, lying around everywhere.
Nice. Glad you’re part of the HS team!
Over half the video was the intro to the movie
Yeeees! More MT breakdowns please! I might be about to fall asleep, but damn am I feeling comfy. Also 10/10 aliteracy.
Your voice is legendary.
MT. My guy. Keep it going!!
After the TV series I have a new respect for Hooded Justice
MT LOVE THIS MAN!
Was not expecting to hear MT when I clicked this, but I'm glad I did
Mt is killing it!! Good job bro
MT is doing THIS?!?
Unexpected BONUS
❤❤❤❤
Omfg, it's MT! Love you, bruh. So this is where you landed?
So happy to see MT here and well appreciated for once!
Loved this but in the future I'd like to hear the artist's name mentioned alongside of the writer of the comic book as well, especially in the case of watchmen because Dave Gibbons' art massively inspired the visual look of the movie & is/was as important as Alan Moore's story.
Super good video!
Watchman breakdown AND MT? Yes please 🙌
MT in da house. I love the way this man narrates. Thank you MT for being here.
Long vid, took me awhile to watch it in my queue, but MT was great as always.
MT always gets an auto like from me! I love this graphic novel, movie and spinoff.
This is an incredible breakdown. Loved the graphic novel/comics version of this and loved the movie representation equally.
Love this movie. Definitely a masterpiece.
Excellent job picking out details. Don't forget Connie Chung at 17:10
This is an incredible video!Thank you for sharing with us ❤
21:05 another, possible, easter egg: below Pale Horse is the word 'Krystalnacht', maybe referencing the destroying of Jewish property in pre-ww2 Nazi Germany. Symbolising the hatred towards superheroes and the wish of them being outlawed.
MT man I love your breakdowns so happy you on the heavy spoilers team!!
Hooded Justice is revealed to be Officer Will Reeves in the HBO adaptation
Trash show. Hooded Justice was not some black guy
That shits not Canon to DC or film!
@ canon?
More MT on Heavy Spoilers please. Great stuff.
Fantastic stuff. Thank you kindly!
Hey man, great take.
I recognize your voice from Rockstars right?
great breakdown...... love the film, and i love the comic book, great stuff! thanks!
Just a thought, the sequence where the military shoot at the flower power peeps could also be a nod to the Kent State University massacre, the students were protesting the Vietnam war, a VERY important part of the movie / comic!
14:00 I noticed that Night Owl was standing between Rorschach and Osi and Dr.
Didn't expect to hear MT's voice when I clicked on this video, but now he's the reason I'm staying. A wonderful surprise indeed
Great video! Rorschach's mark is a pair of mirrored Rs (for Rorschach), not Ls. The photographer of the famous V-J shot was Eisenstadt, not Ernstadt. You make me want to watch the opening again just to savor every moment.
Yooo wtf… MT?!
That’s awesome!!
MT on such a gem, that’s priceless ! 👌
Love your breakdowns, MT!
Y0Ooo, my dude MT be all up on Heavy Spoilers now! Way to be!
This such a good fit, man, so stoked for ya. I've seen plenty Watchmen breakdowns, but I had to stop what I was doing and catch this whole thing.
SwEEt swEEt BEans! Human bEan juicE!
Let's just say this is that channel I always have the notification bell on for!
Great breakdown!
Good analysis, MT! I’m digging your Heavy Spoilers sound/feel more than those, uh, other fellahs! Keep up the good work.
Oh SHIT!!! MT back again!!!!!
MT! Good to hear from you! Thank goodness Heavy Spoilers!
Great job!
Hey MT!
I was excited for the title, then I heard MT’s voice and got hype!! This was such a good move for the channel.
the guy in the red scarf at 12:00 is supposed to be truman capote
KEEP EM COMING !
22:25 This is Captain Metropolis's display. Those are just the things HE cared about.
Really good breakdown; seriously, great job getting MT on here. Just a couple of notes:
a) the scene with The Comedian and Nite Owl was an anti-masks protest, not a Vietnam protest;
b) Twice in this vid you read the clock face wrong. The clock during Nixon's 3rd term victory is being moved to 10 minutes to midnight, not 5. Whereas the watch face just before the big blue bomb goes off reads 5 seconds to midnight, not 10;
c) As well as the possible gay thing, Ozymandias' computer file marked "boys" could also be a reference to "The Boys"; another hugely popular, deeply violent comic book story about the dark side of a world where superheroes exist.
MT!!! ❤❤❤❤
MT killing it yet again
@22:35 It wasn’t an anti-war demonstration, it was an anti-vigilante demonstration that took place during a police strike
The hell. "Just like the Comedian did with the pavement, let's just dive into it (the video)." LOL.
This movie was very weird. First time i hated it. Second time i love it till this day. Anyone?😅
Nope
I'm with you. I loved the TV show upon first viewing though. I think it answered niggling questions
Just watched the animated Chapter 1 of this. Never seen this movie tho.
I love this movie, one of my all-time-favorite films!
Thank you MT to cover this one 👍
It's pronounced "Freyter". The Black Freighter in song, and legend (see Pirate Jenny in Kurt Weil!), is a ship - not whatever the unintentional mispronunciation creates. No idea why this very video gets this wrong, as it creates confusion for me at least. Otherwise, n complaints - excellent video!
This is a great movie & the best version of it too. Thanks for the detailed breakdown.
MT? Nice!
I was so lost watching this movie but I will watch this video only cause of MT!!🤙
“Just like the comedian..” LMAO great delivery MT
You have seriously found some wild easter eggs. How many times did you ŕewatch that movie in order to catch all that stuff?? Amazing, regardless of my critical comments earlier. Lol
I did really enjoy this video.
Overall, well done Brother
That was great - lots of stuff I never picked up on. Don't agree with the comedian and Ozymandias' 'superpowered' fighting skills negating the arrival of Dr Manhattan though. I never really considered them to be super powered - not that I fancy trying to punch a chunk out of a wall anytime soon - but always considered them to be just a lot better than the average brawler found in a comics universe - much like Batman.
Ey glad you enjoyed it
I agree with this sentiment. Especially since not only are they successful heroes, but there's other elements of super tech to the world. Rorscharch's mask, and all of the later Nightowl's manufactured bat-gadgets.Even the source material plays up that The Comedian was built like a weight lifter and he must have been attacked by two guys to have his apartment thrashed and been thrown out that heavy plate glass window. Peaks of human prowess.
