How The Studios Would Have Ended 'Watchmen' (A Storyboard)

By Chris Sims March 6, 2009 180,348 views

Apparently, Zach Snyder was pretty loyal to the graphic novel. Some have said he's been loyal to a fault. For those folks, we present Chris Sims's look at the ending the studios would have gone with ...

His word balloon's been feeling a little depressed lately.

Oh Archie, what have you gotten yourself into now?

And now, a big naked blue guy.

Suddenly--The Cobra Clutch!

Hello Bubastis!

Also, I seem to have mangled my hand with a hammer.

LONG SLEEVES ACTIVATE!

SLLOOOOWWWW MOOOTIONNNN!

Now fast motion!

Also, hrm.

...WILL RETURN IN WATCHMEN 2: WATCH HARDER

You forgot the last panel, where Rorschach and Nite Owl II run towards the camera like in the final scene of Batamn Forever. Dark background and s**t.

I met a traveller in an antique land
Who said 'Six vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert
And on the pedestal these words appear
My name is Ozymandias, King of Ants
Look on my feelers, termites, and despair
I am the biggest ant you'll ever see
The ants of old weren't half as bold and big
And fierce as me'.

If the studios had actually asked me to storyboard this ending. I'd laugh, cry, and then quit.

That WOULD'VE been an interesting ending.
And that was a sweet bicycle kick by Rorschach.
