WOW! I’m finally understanding this show!! So this show is a different and necessary approach to an already told story Watchmen (comics) and it also serves as a continuation of that universe, but told from the human and racial experience. So in 1921 7 year old William Reeves managed to fled the Tulsa race massacre, then he joined the army for ww1 (I think), then came back to new york (I think) where he reunited with the baby who also survived the massacre, joined the police and became a vigilante, got married, had a child (angela’s father) and he inspired others to become vigilantes and he joined forces with them and became the minutemen (capitain metropolis, silk spectre 1, night owl 1, the comedian) all this around the 40s-50s, william’s wife left him and took their child and moved back to tulsa. Then angela was born in 1976 (I think) and that’s why she lived in tulsa. And then the 1977 law making vigilantes illegal, and then the squid accident in 1985 and fast forward to 2019, Angela is the granddaughter of the FIRST EVER VIGILANTE! So without William Reeves there wouldn’t be minutemen or watchmen! And now everyone lives with the sequels of the squid attack and this is all set in Tulsa where no matter fire, extra dimensions, aliens or squid rain white people are still gonna be racist. I’m really impressed at how they are telling this story!
