剧透
Somehow,守望者keeps getting better, which should be impossible given this show’s high standard from the jump. But building off上周的出色情节， 最新的守望者，“这个非凡的存在”，再次提高了赌注，为我们提供了一个充满答案的情节，是的，但也是对守望者的最强主题入门。由斯蒂芬·威廉姆斯（Stephen Williams）执导的“这个非同寻常的存在”几乎完全是在毒品引起的威尔·里夫斯（Will Reeves）的记忆中，由乔万·埃波（Jovan Adepo）扮演年轻人，并以一系列长期的方式拍摄。电影制作非常好，相机以一种暗示记忆的衰落和分层的方式四处旋转 - 这一集使我想起了很多Castle Rock’s Alzheimer’s episode, “The Queen”—but it also, at times, puts the viewer in the place of the protagonist, eliminating the traditional cinematic middle man. In other shots, the camera “stands” where Angela, the outside spectator to Will’s memories, would be standing in typical blocking for a traditional three-camera setup. The camerawork in this episode is not a gimmick, a directorial “look what I can do”. It is absolutely essential to the storytelling.
这一集提供了很多答案，从“是”开始，威尔·里夫斯（Will Reeves）是第一个超级英雄的帽子正义。历史记得他是白人，因为他把眼睛漆成白色的引擎盖下，因此他保护的社区不会害怕1938年纽约的黑人。1zplay这是安吉拉（Angela）在自己的面具下将眼睛涂黑的倒置，这是一集明确的。历史还包含有关他的性行为的谣言，这是“美国英雄的故事”的正式表演，但是的，威尔也是一个同性恋者，他与他的民兵纳尔逊·加德纳（Nelson Gardner），又名大都会队长（James McDorman）有秘密的事件。。This episode, written by Damon Lindelof and Cord Jefferson, acknowledges that Will cannot live openly as a gay man—he marries June (Danielle Deadwyler), whom he rescued as a baby after the Tulsa riot—but it does not make Will’s sexuality a source of angst. It’s simply a part of him he knows he must protect, his most closely held secret identity.
但it is something that is used against him, as Nelson Gardner forces Will into a second closet, making him hide his race from the other Minutemen, as he must hide his sexuality from everyone. This leaves Will at the mercy of Nelson, if he doesn’t support Will’s investigation into a conspiracy within the police ranks, then there is literally nowhere for Will to turn. And guess what? Nelson doesn’t support him, which makes Will, already a vigilante, become a sort of double-vigilante even as he’s living multiple secret identities. Watchmen conflates the oppression and disenfranchisement of the black and LGBTQ communities, and blows up the idea that progress for one is progress for all. Even as progress IS being made for the black community—Will is welcomed into the NYPD by Lt. Samuel Battle, the real first black police officer in New York City—the LGBTQ community remains out of sight, totally unrepresented and with no hero emerging to protect them.
通过将,我们看到黑色的分层损伤throughout history, something made literal by the way his memories fragment and collate. The episode is black and white, but colorized elements appear, representing older memories intruding into the “current” memory playing out for Angela. Usually, the colorized element is from the Tulsa riot, a trauma Will has never reconciled, and an injustice he sees playing out as a cop in New York City. One brutal image connects the bodies he saw dragged through a street as a child to a patrol car of white policemen—a searing indictment of the traumas inflicted by the police on the black community. In fact, “This Extraordinary Being” pulls no punches, offering an equally devastating critique of superheroes when Nelson refuses to help Will confront the conspiracy. “You’ll have to solve black unrest yourself,” he says, almost jovially, and hangs up.
超级英雄的故事几乎总是有点法西斯主义者，因为超级英雄通常坚持以至高无上和压迫为基础的破碎系统。（美国队长电影试图通过不断地销毁/放弃“控制”他的官方办公室来克服这一点。但是，他仍然是一个白人，坚持美国例外主义，这是建立在白人至上主义者理想的基础上的。）最后，纳尔逊团队承诺从未实现。纳尔逊（Nelson）和民兵只希望第一个超级英雄的戴帽子司法公正，使他们的犯罪斗争团体合法化，这是白人美国的回声，声称在方便时声称黑人卓越，但没有采取任何措施来支持黑人社区。
如果守望者以主题为主题，在这里结束是完全合理的。它正在谈论没有解决方案的问题，因此，没有真正的答案，将演出打开几乎是合适的。但守望者从情节中知道其主题，尽管其主题可能无法解决，但它仍然有一个可以结束的情节，我不希望守望者to have a “final answer”, something that ties everything up in a nice, neat bow. We may never know if Judd really was a secret racist, or if he kept his grandfather’s Klan robe out of some sense of shame. (“I’m trying to help you people” is not the most encouraging “not a racist” sign.) But for a show that is so critical of superhero stories,守望者is doing what the best superhero stories do: It’s building a myth of good people who are, in some way, totally outmatched by the problem they face, rightfully critical of how these myths get co-opted by fascistic structures but who keep fighting even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The question is how much hope does守望者那个好人可以赢吗？
大喊
这一集摄影总监格雷戈里·米德尔顿（Gregory Middleton）为他削减了他的作品，最终结果是美丽的。
该情节的战斗协调员贾斯汀·里默（Justin Riemer）和戴夫·麦克莫伯（Dave MacOmber）的系列特技演出协调员，为戴蒙德正义（Highed Justice）汇总了一些残酷，丑陋，现实的斗争。这与本集开始时的“美国英雄故事”情节中的精彩战斗形成了鲜明的对比。
这个节目和生菜是什么？首先，他杀死的黑人警察的第七次卡瓦里·盖伊·卡克斯（Kavalry Guy Chucks）生菜，现在蒙德司法正义将白人至上主义者扔进了杂货店的生菜。为什么生菜？
