I mean watchmen didn’t necessarily have a downer, it had more of a bittersweet tone, but mostly depressing but that was the purpose of the comic. To showcase that being a superhero wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

And I read that the creators of the anime adaptations hated the original stories ending which is why most of them didn’t have the depressing ending.
