Still didn't justify a bunch of scenes where they BEAT UP THUGS except Snyder actually managed to include a subtext (!) that suggests that the heroes kind of got off on the violence and the idea of vigilante justice which isn't morally vindicated at any point and in fact gets morally muddled when Silk Spectre knocks out a cop. Nixon's nose was dumb as hell.

I thought they were going to get it on right there in the alley from the way they looked at each other, and my cousin turned to me and asked, "Is Nixon's nose supposed to look that bad?"
When Rorschach said his famous, "I'm not in here with you, you're in here with me," line, half the audience laughed hysterically.

The more things Zack Snyder says, the more I suspect he may genuinely be an idiot.

Yeah, at first I was upset because I didn't find it funny but then I realized it was actually some seriously grim humour from Rorschach.

Hahahaha what the hell, did someone get paid to write this article? It was dumb that Iaccocca was included just as someone to be shot but not exactly newsworthy.
EDIT: Oh my god the page of little hidden things has him veering between idiot and idiot savant. Look at this:
--- Quote ---Like Alan Moore's graphic novel, the final confrontation in the film begins when we find Adrian Veidt sitting in front of a massive wall of televisions. As the world's smartest man takes in all the information, director Zack Snyder delights in goosing his audience with dozens of in-jokes. "The original '300 Spartans' is on one of them," said the "300" director, referring to the 1962 movie that predated his tale of King Leonidas. "There's also 'The Road Warrior' that you can see, which was a really influential movie for me in the '80s. ... There's some porn, some real porn — which is cool.

Now look at this:
--- Quote ---There's a Marvin the Martian [cartoon], which is the one where he's trying to destroy the Earth — which speaks to the annihilation of the planet that Ozy's having an issue with at that time. There's 'The Day the Earth Stood Still,' which is featured heavily in the graphic novel, and there's 'Fail Safe,' which is another Cold War-era epic."

I couldn't help but laugh during that scene. I was the only one in the theater laughing (I went to a small local one), but it was funny! I had to agree with my friend when she said it was basically soft core porn set to Leonard Cohen.
