Movie Human Watchmen vs Movie Human Avengers

It means there's no evidence that what you're saying happened. We don't see him moving whilst a bullet has already left the gun.



The clip doesn't have him speed up beyond an ordinary snatching gesture. He had to have been moving before it fired.

How else could he have done it, then? There is no real alternate explanation. Just because the clip hasn't shown it.

Oh, I think I see the source of the confusion: We see the gun firing then change angles to see him being struck by it. You're assuming that this somehow literally indicates him not moving until after the sound effect, rather than merely being the film cutting from "Shot of action" to "Shot of reaction".

...It would honestly never occur to me to look at it that way.

I understand how it seems to be just a trick.
But the movie even foreshadows that he is that fast so I do believe that is how they meant it to be taken.
They just probably did not want Matrix graphics in it. Kung Fu: The Legend Continues uses similar things to display speed.. Low budgets are normally the cause but I think the more "realistic" feel that The Watchmen was going for is the reason behind it.
