Just Watchmen. Just the Comic.
the_pied_piper:
So i finished reading Watchmen for the first time a couple of days ago. I really enjoyed it and in my opinion it certainly dedserves it's place in the New York Times top 100 of all time.
*spoiler*Personally, the best bit of the whole book for me was when they originally thought that it was Veidt who had done it because it seemed to me to be far too simple to be the truth. It left me puzzled for a while until it turned out it was actually true.*spoiler*
Also, i have to say that i partly agree with Rorschach because his view of one person [or a group] directing the way the world works isn't the way to go and he saw this. However, from the comic it looked as if there was going to be a nuclear war between the USA and Soviet Union in that when and where so i guess it would've been acceptable under those circumstances.
Ozymandias:
What intrigues me is that Rorschach condemns Veidt, but praises Truman.
Surely there's a lot of parallel between Truman's use of the bomb and Veidt's plan. Without the shades of gray that are inherent in the differences of both situation, Rorschach seems to be conflicted against his own morality in his attempt to inform the world of the truth.

That's what I've been saying. Bloody hypocrite. But then again for people to still sympathize with Kovacs shows how strong the book is.
PapaFrita:
I think Rorschach knew he was going to die, anyways. He didn't really have a life beyond the mask; he WAS Rorschach. He knew he couldn't change, and I think he knew that he had to die as well.
knives:
Probably why he was Spoilers*crying.*spoilers
