Abstract
As the screen superhero genre enters the revisionist phase of its evolution, its status as a genre overwhelmingly dependent on the adaptation of preexisting material provides a challenge to established models of generic revision. The faithful adaptation of a revisionist comic does not in itself constitute a revisionist film or series. HBO’s miniseries adaptation of Watchmen serves as an example of how, through a series of adaptational strategies, an adapted genre text can retain a reverence to its source material while also serving a revisionist function in its new medium.

HBO 的守望者和改编类型中的通用修订
摘要
随着银幕超级英雄类型进入其演变的修正主义阶段,其作为一种类型的地位压倒性地依赖于对现有材料的改编,对已建立的通用修正模式提出了挑战。修正主义漫画的忠实改编本身并不构成修正主义电影或系列。HBO 对《守望者》的迷你剧改编是一个例子,说明如何通过一系列改编策略,改编后的体裁文本可以保持对其源材料的尊重,同时在其新媒体中发挥修正主义功能。
