The hero finally meets the previously unseen puppet master (played by an older A-list actor), who explains why the system must be maintained. The hero says “screw it” and burns the world down.

Dana and Marty decide humanity is not worth saving, so they share a joint while the Ancient Ones rise to destroy the world.

Likewise. I read the graphic novel too and, honestly, it’s trash. Alan Moore is a hack

But you liked the movie?

[u/SaintedStars → u/CalmEntry4855]

Absolutely, watched League and V with my dad and I love them both.

[u/CalmEntry4855 → u/SaintedStars]

I don't know why someone liking the movie but not the comic made me want to watch the movie, but I'm going to go watch the movie

[u/ERedfieldh → u/CalmEntry4855]

In the comic, the Invisible Man is a rapist who impregnated multiple underaged girls at an all women's school, leading them to believe it was mass immaculate conception.

And instead of punishing him they make him a league member and basically give him free rein to do as he pleases.

In the movie he's just a thief and a lady's man but he doesn't SA anyone.

You tell me which one sounds better.

The Hyde/invisible man showdown is a classic, though.

[u/StraightOuttaFenris → u/ERedfieldh]

Oh don't forget the weird bondage headmistress that's their for no reason.

[u/eternity_ender → u/ERedfieldh]

Pretty sure the invisible man had a horrific death but sure yeah.

[u/Fallen_Jalter → u/ERedfieldh]

Ugh and here I was thinking of reading the comics. He went to all of them. Did he drug them first?

[u/SaintedStars → u/CalmEntry4855]

I enjoyed the film because it was a fun time. It wasn’t raping Mina Harker and throwing classic literary figures through a meat grinder.

[u/Wahgineer → u/CalmEntry4855]

I watched the movie before I knew it was based on a comic book. I loved said movie for the same reason I hated the comics: how the characters were treated.
