I’d agree if you take your kids to watchmen you are a moron, but not because of hollywood, but because you are too damned stupid to know the source material that this movie is based on.

This isn’t a story of Hollywood taking a classic comic super hero like say a superman and making him evil or dark, or applying moral relevancy to him... this is a movie that is based on a very adult themed and very dark comic to begin with.

Actually it is. The characters are based upon the Charlton Comics heroes that DC bought. Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, The Question...

DC got cold feet on letting Alan Moore depict them as rapists and murderers.

Like when the latest Superman movie changed his motto to: “Truth, justice and … all of that stuff.”
