WATCHMEN director Zack Snyder confirmed rumors that the ending of the film is not the same as the graphic novel.There was a meltdown among hardcore "fanboys" when a test screening of the film in Portland, depicted an ending that does not include the squid-like creature of the comic book.
"The one thing that was cool was that anyone who had read the graphic novel who was at the screening rated the film 'excellent' - for me I'm like 'I'm done'. The fans, God love 'em, they're all up in arms about the squid. What they should be up in arms about are things like shooting the pregnant woman, 'God is real and he's American', whether THAT'S in the movie. That's my point of view, maybe I'm crazy."
"The squid was not in the movie when I got the script, the squid was never in any draft that I saw. My point is only that there was this elegant solution to the squid problem that I kind of embraced."
Asked about the new ending he said: "I won't say exactly but Doctor Manhattan has a certain energy signature, it's clearly his thing."*Highlight For Spoiler*
Ozymandias detonates bombs in major cities around the world that have the same energy signature as Dr. Manhattan thus uniting the world against a common enemy(Dr. Manhattan) and eliminating the threat of nuclear war between Russia and the USA.
