The premiere of HBO's 'Watchmen' was packed with allusions to the dense mythology of the landmark novel that inspired it, thrilling fans and newcomers alike. But a solemn nod to a real-world event appears to have left the greatest impression on viewers.
The attack, coming amid the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and racial terror through much of the country, was not widely reported at the time.
Lindelof, for his part, previously told NBC News he was inspired to set the series in Tulsa after reading the work of Ta-Nehisi Coates , who has written extensively about the black experience in America and the legacy of white supremacy.
Watchmen has always been about twisted versions of Golden Age superheroes we've come to love. So the episode opens up with a twisted Superman origin story of a baby discovered from the ashes of the Tulsa massacre. Tulsa is Krypton, a utopia that came to an end.
