--- Quote from: TheViscount on 22 Feb 2009, 23:00 ---I didn't though... To be completely honest, when I read the Black Freighter boxes, I was just kind of half-paying attention and trying to get to the next strip. After my second time reading it, I kind of saw the parallel and what seemed like foreshadowing. Now on the other hand, comparing Rorschach's mentality to that of a shark's is kind of overthinking it.

Yeah, I know for me that was one of the major differences of reading it as an eleven year old and later as a sixteen year old.
Blyss:
Alright - this is bugging the shit out me.
Why the fuck did Rorschach have to die? I don't buy the storyline reason, I guess that's just a personal problem on my part, but man that just fucking pisses me off every time I read it.
A sign of good writing that it evokes a strong emotional response for sure - but just grrrr....
**decides to just let it go...
Surgoshan:
Rorschach is an uncompromising character. He sees the world in terms of black and white. Dan, Laurie, and Ostermann all understand that the event has already occurred, and to expose Veidt's plan would just let the world go on as it had been, toward disaster. Rorschach understands that, but doesn't care. Veidt has done wrong and must be punished.
Dazed:
Rorschach is utterly uncompromising. He would rather die than compromise his values, so that's what happens.
--- Quote ---Sometimes, perhaps, one must change or die. And, in the end, there were, perhaps, limits to how much he could let himself change.
--- End quote ---
Gaiman, not Moore, but it comes to mind when I think of Rorschach, and it seems applicable.
knives:
Why would you want him to live anyway? Sure he was a fun character, but he was insane, going to ruin the possibility of peace, and couldn't let himself change. Can't think of a reason why he would need to live. Not to say your reasoning can't be c\valid, as long as goes beyond 'He's so cool man, like cool!!!! (quote provided by Zack Snyder)
