So much so , in fact , that Twitter userVamos Ramosreports Haley made some rather critical remarks at the Q&A about how superhero TV show tend to handle result of violence and cleanup . Responding to a conversation about how critic reacted toward Snyder’sBatman V Superman , Haley submit that a lot of telly show ( and critics too ) seem to be against violence commit by superheroes , but are on the face of it fine with violence committed by police force officer . Using Netflix ’s Marvel shows and The CWArrowseries as illustration , the actor said :
“ You ’ve always fuck off , like , the cops going after the Green Arrow or whoever like , ‘ Man , you ’re out there killing people ! ’ And the part are always so disturbed about like , ‘ We can never hurt anybody , we need to do the right thing . ’ But during the whole damn show the pig are just constantly blast anybody that moves , you know ? And then they ’re judginghim . ”
It seems Haley was n’t the only board appendage with strong opinions on the topic . Snyder himself had a tidy sum to sayabout attitude toward force and superheroes . Speaking of the moral ambiguity of the antiheroes inWatchmenas compare to the more wholesome heroes seen in other medium , he said:“It ’s a cool point of thought to be like ' my Hero are innocent' … That ’s coolheaded . But you ’re living in a f***ing dream universe . ”
That ’s understandable believe it ’s the things that madeWatchmendifferent from fellow superhero movies - its roentgen - rating , its violence , the moral equivocalness of its torpedo - that made it so dandy . If Haley and Snyder think such aspect may be watered down in the holding ’s transferral to TV , they ’ve got a right to be touch . However , as there ’s still some clock time before HBO’sWatchmenairs , it ’s probably effective to hold off judgment in the meantime . There ’s a quite a little of endowment attach to the show so far and the proof , as they say , will be in the pudding .
