Everyone is still buzzing about the Watchmen season finale, including its stars. Regina King shared her thoughts about the ending, and her take on it is less theoretical and more emotional.
The season ended with Angela's foot hovering over the pool, without revealing what it means that she ingested the egg that could transfer Dr. Manhattan's powers to her. Some believe Angela absorbed his powers, and questions about what it means for the fate of humanity abound. King's reaction, however, is a little more personal.
"The way I perceived it, because I really fell in love with the love story between Angela and Doctor Manhattan, I felt like when she saw that egg, she wasn't necessarily looking at it as this opportunity to take on his powers," she told IGN. "So my interpretation of it was she saw this as one last chance that she could be close to Jon, that somehow this would bring them back together, or as crazy as it sounds, maybe they'd be as one. I believed that it was a continuance of the love story. I'm just one of those people that are in love with love, and I just felt like it’s amazing that in all of this storytelling of pain and trauma and anger, that they were able to sneak an ultimate love story.”
"So I would guess that [Angela] would be responsible with those powers,” she added.
