Normalfags like Rorschach

You're a gay nigger?

Because ironically, he is just a generic villain.

He was smart enough to plan all of that but not smart enough to use normal politics to avoid all out nuclear warfare.
It looks like he wanted something dramatic rather than something viable at the end of the day and that feels boring as hell to me.
IDK, he was holding the retard ball for the story to happen so it doesn't even feel like his own decisions leading to the cluster fuck.

Too similar to Batman

More people like Ozymandias than Peter Cannon.
He wasn't generic at all.
Normal politics would have been futile. Dr. Manhattan's existence made the world into a funny book world, so what was needed was a funny book solution.

He was smart enough to plan all of that but not smart enough to use normal politics to avoid all out nuclear warfare.

Doctor Manhattan makes it impossible that "normal politics" can truly exist in that universe.

I didn't think much of Ozymandias since I knew of the ending since before I read it the first time, and it's a shadow that hangs over how most people read the character.
It took until the unfortunate HBO series, because Iron's performance was a standout to really make me reread the series with that in mind and how charming and engaging he is.Instead of taking a read on the series on how it's foreshadowing how he's actually bad, I tried reading it and framing him as how he's shown as a good and charming man.
Manhattan is the one superpower of the world, but Adrian is the closest to embodying the classic lantern-jawed, charming, perfect physical specimen archetype of the superhero. As disarming and safe feeling as a Curt Swan drawn Superman. The book does it's best to portray him as a well-adjusted, concerned, selfless figure in the leadup to the final chapters. The effect of the ending is ruined if you believe he would be able to do what he did, and even the Rorschach and Dan are confused and chalk it up more to madness before even grasping his plan.
To this day, the biggest ailing of the Snyder adaptation is leaning into him being a creepy, obvious villain instead of playing on how he's meant to be a perfect hero
Adrian's actions are meant to fill you with unease, in the same way the ending of Miracleman,with him saving the Earth and creation a utopia, at the cost of any sort of dissidence and leaving humanity to be eternally babysat by superpowered beings.
The whole thesis of these works is that if superheroes existed, their solutions to big problems would end up being complicated and uncomfortable measures.
Imagine if Superman handed Luthor to the authorities and he was a drooling mess because lobotomized and gelded him. Not out of anger, but out of efficiency to get him to stop doing crimes and make him docile. Cold pragmatism immediately decided by a single man who's superior to anyone else. That's what Ozy should come off as.

Nice. Well put.

b-b-but muh heckin m-m-media liter-ACK

Shut the fuck up faggot.

That anon definitely didn't get it. He's just parroting what he thinks he should feel.

Nah the "I have 120iq" autists likes Ozy

He believes Moore had no favorites and he didn't play the cool factor

LMAO let's laugh at this faggot

This scene is fucking heartbreaking, thinking Moore was making Rorchach entirely unsympathetic is being hardheaded.
Just because he doesn't feel Rorschach is a role model or someone you should model yourself after, doesn't mean he's not supposed to be an enjoyable character.
Don Quixote is a deluded old man but at his heart is a lovable character, Cervantes jeers him and makes it clear he's misguided and pitiable, but his wants and goals are respectable if brought on by delusion. He doesn't want the reader to idolize Cervantes but he makes you appreciate him all the same

no, it only means that he's bullshitting with his hardass persona and still has human feelings, as shown when he breaks down crying like a bitch in front of Manhattan.

...Yeah, you are describing the scene. That doesn't refute anything the previous post said; Rorschach IS sympathetic.

for what? basic human decency? you're like Zack Snyder trying to downplay his more violent nature. I bet you watched the movie first.

YOU CANT HECKIN LIKE THE FUCKING CHARACTERS

Possibly homosexual.

for what? human decency?

Yes.

This scene doesn't work if you just think all Moore wanted you to think is that Rorschach was wrong or he's a loser and he wasted his life, it loses all impact.
We feel for this character's desperation because even if he's flawed, we don't like him dying like this.

you're right, there are other ways Anon Babble can relate to Walter, like being a manlet, being called nazis, mooching off others and not showering.

let

He did it before they got there. They didn't let him do anything.

Raw Shark IS a loser and wasted his life. it's all over the book and how you missed this is a mystery. his whole objectivist philosophy means jack shit when it's turned onto him and a superior man takes control of his destiny, he's got nothing else to do but cry like a bitch.

and what's stopping them from telling on Ozy after Jon fucks off to mars again? the ramblings of serial killer racist misogynist bigot Rorschach can only go so far.

That's just your headcanon. Blue Dick says otherwise, and he sees the future.

Sorry bro but if people weren't supposed to like characters that weren't model citizens whole genres and franchises wouldn't exist.

nobody is saying you can't like scumbags in fiction, you're just wrong for having that sentiment.
for example, you're not a pedophile if you fap to lolis in cartoons, but the fact that you know it's supposed to be a child character and that isn't deterring you says a lot.

Negro, you're in denial. Moore gives one of the coolest character intros to Rosharch. Yes, he gives him some bad qualities. But Rosharch is cool in almost everything he does. Moore was a communist-feminist but he was primarily a pulp writer

Moore isn't a truly hardcore communist, he should wore a shirt for the shock factor. He has some socialist ideas I'm sure but he's no soviet-level communist.

Ozy is a self-imposed faggot. No one wants to be THAT GUY

SHO KEWL SHO KWEL OH EEM GEE
