World Trade Center?

[ManofmyWord]

Hey guys, I haven't read the GN so forgive me.(I'm waiting on my copy from amazon to arrive) I know it's set in 1985 and I was watching the trailer for the 30th time and I noticed that when the Night Owl's ship rises out of the water and flies off, that you can see the twin towers in the new york skyline. Is this a part of the GN and what do you think of having them in? OR am I just seeing things and it's no big deal?

 

[Rocker22]

Well I don't think they were a big part of the GN if that's what you were asking? But they are there in the trailer.

 

[jsf]

same here, i don't know but i think its cool that they are being used again... even though they are only cgi

 

[Luchastyle]

well in 1985 they were part of the new york city skyline, so i think it's appropriate to have them. it would be inaccurate not to.

 

[Katsuro]

They weren't necessarily a part of the story or anything, but seeing as the story takes place when they're still standing, they should be there.

Agreed

I was going to say the same thing.

 

[Yurka]

I agree, and its neat to see them in the trailer, they look fine.

I don't remember the World Trade Center being in the graphic novel but since Watchmen in 1985 it has to be there.

 

[Smokeymcpot]

It is cool that it is there. They are in the novel. Only in that scene though but it is cool to see them.

In the latest video journal I realized you can see them again in this shot:

I'm glad that he is staying accurate with it.

 

[.Rorschach.]

Not sad to see them,but cool they put them in due to the timeline.

 

[Brendan]

I'm happy to see them. They're still part of our past and Watchmen takes place in the past. I'm glad someone has the balls to finally use them again in a movie.

That shot is going to look really cool on screen.

 

[Nepenthes]

I think seeing the Towers may put the ending in a different light when you're watching the movie a second time

Alot of Bad things happen in NYC. And this is in an alternate reality past, nothing from the real world 16 years in their future should matter.
