“As a white person, I can’t relate to the experience of being forced to come over to this country against my will,” Lindelof tellsLindelof is part Ashkenazi Jewish, on his mother’s side, with his own ancestors emigrating from Eastern Europe. Millions died during that journey, but he notes the ones who didn’t “resulted in me.” With “,” he wanted to merge the idea of someone needing to learn about their origins with the superhero genre — a genre he notes is already full of traumatic backstories.
Angela’s arc will be more than just keeping her family safe and dealing with pushback from the fact that she and her Black husband have white children in a racially-charged world. She will also be on a journey to discover some of her own family history, which has roots in the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.
“I can read all of the Ta-Nehisi Coates in the world, but I don’t know what it’s like to move through the world as a person of color, and so I rely on the opinions of people of color to make this story as authentic as possible,” Lindelof says of breaking such a story in his writers’ room. “We had to accept that it would be triggering in some instances, but we wanted to explore it nonetheless. The point was not to provoke, but we have to acknowledge that we are dealing with provocative material.
In Lindelof’s “Watchmen,” Redford was elected in 1992 and is responsible for reparations for those descents of victims of the Tulsa massacre. Additionally, Vietnam is a state, squid storms are annoying — but not disastrous — acts of weather, superheroes and vigilantes are outlaws, the police force is allowed to wear masks but not unlock their weapons without special permissions, and cell phones and Wifi do not exist.
The character of Angela was also created as an original character for a similar reason: She is the audience’s proxy. “This is her story, so if she doesn’t care about [something that happened in the graphic novel], we’re not supposed to,” Lindelof says. Similarly, “if she’s riding in a car in the fourth episode with Jean Smart’s character, who’s a legacy character, she’s asking the questions that we want the audience to be asking.
Screw this new Watchmen TV show. They'll totally crapped on one of my all time favourite comic book heroes: Rorschach with this white supremacy bullshit. I need to go re-watch Joker just to clean my palette of this rubbish.

TrinityMustache We need a VR booth that will insert a person into the everyday reality of being an 'other.' What would it feel like to see the people you walk by everyday never make eye contact, to hear car door locks being clicked as you pass by. And those are the least of it.
Can't wait to not watch this show.
this is interesting - I don't usually like these kinds of movies/shows but he depth of inherited generational trauma is right of my alley.
There have been black superheroes for quite a long time now. This question seems pretty forced.
True because Luke Cage, Black lightning etc do not exist...
Is it about more than just Black and White? Because other races exist too, but you don't see that much in Hollywood, period, let alone in a goddamn superhero movie.
Because Latinos are still non existent. That’s why...
Damon Lindelof = No bueno.
