Asker mentioned Watchmen: arguably it succeeded because underneath all the the satire, dystopia and deconstruction, there's a solid, well-paced detective mystery with exciting twists and well-developed, relatable characters, which those elements complement by adding tension, showing characters' vulnerability before a dramatic twist, etc etc. Problems come when those elements distract from or weaken the plot, or are the "big idea" instead of a strong plot. | |
