What if superheroes weren’t the good guys we thought they were? In Watchmen, the world is on the edge of destruction, and a group of retired superheroes, each with their own dark secrets, must come together to figure out why a former hero is dead—and whether it’s all part of a bigger plan to save or destroy humanity.

One of the key moments in Watchmen is when Rorschach, the masked vigilante, refuses to keep a secret that could save the world because of his unwavering belief in justice. It makes you wonder: What if Rorschach had chosen to keep the secret? Would the world be safer?

Fans have lots of What If theories—what if Dr. Manhattan had never left Earth? Or what if Ozymandias’ plan to fake an alien invasion didn’t work? What if the heroes actually joined forces for good instead of each following their own dangerous paths?

The film leaves a big mystery about whether the world will stay at peace. Maybe a sequel would explore the fallout of Ozymandias’ plan, or a prequel could show the history of the Watchmen, diving into their personal stories. Either way, Watchmen opens up a world of endless possibilities, leaving fans satisfied but also craving more!
