HBO x DC's new drama "Watchmen" latest trailer criticized for racism

At the recent SDCC 2019 Comic-Con, HBO released the latest trailer for its comic-based original series "Watchmen". In this 3-minute trailer, the identities of multiple characters are revealed, and the much-anticipated "Dr. Manhattan" makes his debut! However, after the trailer was released, many YouTube users criticized the new trailer for containing a lot of racial discrimination.

The latest trailer for Watchmen:

In the new "Watchmen" TV series, a new cult wearing Rorschach-like masks appeared after Rorschach's death. Most of the members of this cult are white. There are many black police officers in this show. The story revolves around a group of white cult members who call themselves "Rorschach" targeting black police officers, and the black police retaliate by hunting down white cult members with extreme prejudice.

So in response to this plot, foreign netizens began to criticize each other on YouTube. Some people thought that there was nothing wrong with the trailer, and of course some people said that the "Watchmen" trailer was a bunch of garbage. Obviously, this trailer was extremely racist and had many obvious political similarities to real life.

HBO's new series "Watchmen" will focus on the new world after Rorschach's death. Dr. Manhattan is nowhere to be seen, and superheroes are still a "species" expelled by the government. Although Rorschach is dead, his spirit lives on, and a large number of imitators form a "religious" organization. In addition, the classic bright yellow theme and the doomsday countdown element continue to return. HBO's investment should also make the new series more in-depth.

In the new trailer, "Blue Hanger" Dr. Manhattan will return from Mars, and I wonder what unexpected plot will happen. HBO's comic original series "Watchmen" will premiere in October this year.
