Plot Description update suggestion

"Watchmen Chapter I retells the story of the first 6 issues of the original 12-issue maxiseries from DC Comics, cover-dated September 1986 to October 1987." - I have watched it and the film ends at the conclusion of the 5th Chapter "Fearful Symmetry" so I think it would be safe to suggest making that small alteration that is retells the story of the first 5 issues of the original 12-issue maxiseries - RVDDP2501 (talk) 00:57, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also desperately needs to be entirely rewritten. As it stands now, comes across as if it was written by a 14 year old, AI or translated from the entry in another language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:7800:9F15:817D:CDFC:D306:BF2E (talk) 17:33, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Title update

Since it is not just one movie, but two... I believe it should be renamed "Watchmen (2024 film)", since Chapters I and II are being written about in one page. Iago PUC (talk) 15:04, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, and the original Watchmen film’s article needs to be renamed “Watchmen (2009 film)”. MatthewRC (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved this article for the reasons above, although the 2009 film title cannot be moved due to an admin-only protection, thus I have filed a technical move request to fulfill it. Trailblazer101 (talk) 04:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
