WATCHMEN "IT'S SUMMER & WE'RE OUT OF ICE" REVIEW

I should’ve read up on this show before I watched because I had the expectations of them re-doing the graphic novel. So I was like bet it’s time to see “The Comedian.” That wasn’t the case this shit takes place 30 years after what I was expecting. So I was low key pressed and disappointed. 

The series starts out with this old ass film with music that sounds like a nigga named Sylvester is drinking moonshine to and this little black boy is watching it in a theater. It’s about a black man who’s policing a town and his mustache is thicker than G-Herbo baby momma and while this boy is watching this film his momma is playing the music to the silent film and she’s breaking down while playing it like that nigga Blue was when he playing the piano for Paul drunk ass at The Grammy party in The Temptations movie. All of a sudden explosions and shit start happening. It’s actually the Tulsa massacre from 1921 which I was shocked to see. American history covers up that terrorist attack on black people better than a nigga trying to hide his marriage from a bad bitch he met at a bar. The whole scene is just angry white people with no lips killing black people and destroying black businesses and the only full black community and black economy we’ve ever had in history. Think about that. Since then there has not been a better black owned community than Greenwood. Sad. This scene was powerful from the standpoint of the little boy watching the silent film where the images he saw were a black man with a handlebar mustache being the savior to white people and right outside of the theater he sat in was white men being the destroyer of black people. The boy and a baby were the only survivors of the terrorist attack in Tulsa. These bitch mothafuckas had a plane. That’s a fucking terrorist attack. 

Wasn’t expecting the first scene but the ice cream I was eating was slapping and fuck it we here so I decided to keep watching. You see this racist white boy jamming to Future Hendrix which isn’t uncommon. Racist ass bitches enjoy our culture. When they realize bitches not trying to hear Johnny Cash they want to listen to our shit. In this scene we the dynamic switched where the white guy is nervous at the presence of a black cop. The black cop notices a Rorschach Mask and radios in to have his gun released which I thought was a genius idea but a bad idea at the same time and as soon as I said that would be a bad idea if shit pops off and you couldn’t get your gun without permission the white boy shot the black cop up like the end of Scarface then had the nerve to throw produce at him. 

The first 2 scenes set up the war that our country refuses to fight in real life and that’s the war on white supremacy. It’s revealed that police officers have to hide their identity after an incident where cops were targeted and hunted to be killed so every officer wears a mask. The chief of police Judd Crawford and the rest of the force are up against The Seventh Kalvary aka The KKK. When shit going left again who’s gonna clean up the mess? You guessed it. A black woman. 

Angela Abar (Regina King) cooking cookies and cakes like Cam’Ron raps, raising 3 kids that aren’t hers, married to a nigga that fucked a polar bear, and going to war against white supremacy has to be the most “Fuck it I’ll do it” energy I’ve ever seen in a television show. Immediately she dresses up like Darkman and throws a racist piece of shit in her trunk for interrogation about the shooting of the police officer at the start of the episode. The interrogation process was some weird ass shit called “The Pod” where “Looking Glass” is able to tell the suspect is lying due to his pupils. Angela beats dude ass and he tells her where the other racist weirdos are at and it leads us to a cattle ranch. 

You see these South Park looking mothafuckas taking batteries out of watches which I’m assuming they’re building bombs. It’s crazy they have the brain to make complex shit like bombs but no brain to understand that being racist is for dickheads. A big ass shootout happens and rare steak is all over the place and Angela doesn’t get any additional information because one of the losers kill himself with a pill and the others in the getaway plane are shot down by “Archie.” If they have access to high military weaponry like they showed then it’s gonna be a long season. 

The Chief gets a page about the black officer being awake at the hospital and drives out and he’s ambushed and killed and hung from a tree and the same old man who asks Angela “Can he lift 200 pounds” in front of her bakery aka bat cave is sitting next to Judd’s hung body with the same note that that the boy from the Tulsa riots found. I guess the 200 pounds he was referring to was Judd’s body. This nigga can see into the future on some “That’s so Raven” shit I guess. 

The world is setup weird. It rains squids. There are no cell phones only beepers like every rap music video in the early 90’s. Instead of reparations there are Redfordrations which are named after Robert Redford and I’m guessing that’s why The Seventh Kalvary exist. They mad the black Kings and Queens got the bag. Adrian Veidt just chilling in a mansion somewhere on some Hugh Hefner shit. Why in the fuck they tried to cut a cake with a horseshoe I’m anxious to figure out. Overall I’m interested in this continuance and how everyone will fight their contradictions. 

Good first episode. Shoutout to Dr.Manhattan chilling on Mars.
