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)

Zack needs to start thinking before speaking. He's being judged more on his responses in interviews rather than his cinematography.
If you want an idea of what i'm talking about, look up Blunty3000's interview with Zack. If you like watching people talk about something and not know what the hell they are saying, you might enjoy it.

It's not because he's a cool character - it's because I think he's right.
Hide an awful truth from the world, so that the peace they live in is a lie?
Thanks, but no thanks.
I wanted him to live because he deserved to live. The world SHOULD have known what happened. Meh, I was going to drop this...
I know for the story's sake he had to die. It actually made his character all the more memorable, it just hacked me off, that's all.
**really letting go now**

--- Quote from: Surgoshan on 25 Feb 2009, 13:49 ---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.

I agreed with Rorschach more than the others when it came to that point though. They went down there to stop what Veidt was doing, and then didn't because they decided it would be the "greater good" to let his plan go on, but frankly, who had the authority to decide that? Certainly not Veidt. Nobody has the authority to decide that. In my eyes, Rorschach was the only one who saw things clearly.

You think that's bad. I lent my copy to someone, and when I was over at their house, I found it on the floor next to the toilet...
Definitely not cool.
This is one of my favorite comics of all time. The storyline, the characters, it just draws you in. It feels so real. Definitely one of the most realistic superhero story I have read so far. It makes you actually believe this stuff can exist.
I love how there are so many stories within the main story. There's current storyline, what happened with the old watchmen, the newspaper vendor story, and the story about the shipwrecked guy.

That's actually really good reasoning. I might not agree, look at Rorschach own Truman defense for a similar why, but I appreciate that your reasoning is founded in good thinking.
