I don't really understand the need to turn all the violence up to 11 though.
The director is the same guy who did 300, which already had the violence dialled up to at least 9. My guess is that he felt the need to try and top his previous comic-book-adaptation project.
It was beautifully shot violence, though, I have to give it that -- the fight scenes were gorgeous. The bit where the guy was cut apart in order to open the cell door was too squicky for me, though (I actually found it harder to watch than the infamous dogs scene, which is one of the few times I'll seriously give Alan Moore props. The bit where Rorschach looks over at the dogs and finally realized exactly what they're eating is one of the better moments of stomach-turning horror I've read/seen).
NO FUCKING KIDDING. I feel kind of ashamed about how predictably this turns me on.
I try not to interrogate this kink too closely, for fear it will reveal uncomfortable things about my psyche.
I sadly don't think I'll be writing all that much for this fandom, though -- Steve/Tony still owns my soul, plus I have this nagging fear that a serious attempt to write Watchmen fic of any length would morph into a mutated JLU AU about The Question and Blue Beetle.
That said, I do have some kink meme prompt fic here (http://spam-monster.livejournal.com/813.html?thread=59949#t59949).
