If Quentin Tarantino directed WATCHMEN:
As Jackie Brown was a tribute to ‘70s blaxploitation, Kill Bill was a tribute to ’70s kung fu, and Death Proof was a tribute to ’70s grindhouse, so Quentin Tarantino makes Watchmen a tribute to the fourth in his canon of formative aesthetic influences: ’70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons. In three half-hour episodes, the Watchmen—plus their new friends, Danny the Boy Detective and Mighty Mutt—discover that an extraterrestrial squid plans to explode in a beautiful national park. Working together, the Watchmen convince the squid that our nation’s precious natural resources are too important to destroy.
