Do you consider The Watchmen (the comic) to be literature?

A proper understanding of literature can be applied to film, manga, comics, video games and visual novels. They're just different mediums with the same goals and to group them together as such is to do them a disservice. Of course, there are some conventions prevalent in each medium that help define it but we should weigh each oeuvre by its individual merits than rather pool them together.

Having said that, I've never read The Watchmen.

I don't consider visual mediums to be literature. That is not meant as a denigration.

Well, to me either all comics are literature or no comics are literature. I've no real stance on the issue but if I were to regard Watchmen as literature I would have to do so for all other comics. But >>9015567 is a good post.

No, comics are their own medium, Citizen Kane isn't literature either. Fuck off.

Yes

No but I'll tell you what literature is. Literature is the feeling you get when holding a girls hand and she tells you about her boyfriends gym routine. Literature is when you go to the gym and you see him and he asks you to spot him. You notice he has a way bigger dick than you. Literature is writing four or five messages to said girl on Facebook on why she deserves you. Literature is crying yourself to sleep. Literature is searching for hours on pornhub finding a girl that looks like her. Literature is realizing it was her and she is a camwhore. She's a slut: literature.
