    The point you made about the boys and invincible is the point the article is making. If it had realesed around now itd be crazy successful as a tear down of the super hero capeshit, assuming they did it the same justice now as they did then.

      But the watchmen movie didn’t really act as a takedown. Aesthetically it is completely still convinced superheroes are cool, there isn’t a whiff of subversion about the Zack Snyder version. Zack Snyder read Watchmen the same way he read Batman Returns. “Wow! Dark comic is cool! What is subtext???”
