    I’m not sure Rorschach’s views will be accepted very well, especially as an antihero. As a villain, it could play easier.

    Should be worth noting that DC released a Before Watchmen series about 8 years ago. You can find the following TPBs ;

    Minutemen/Silk Spectre
    Comedian/Rorschach
    Nite Owl/Dr. Manhattan
    Ozymandias/Crimson Corsair
    :comicbookguy:

    I’m sure they’ll handle it fine

    I just don’t see how they win this with how nuanced a character he is. There’s misconceptions all over about Rorschach

    oh to be sure, this isn’t gonna be some salvation story, this should be a preamble to how truly fucked up Rorschach Is.

    maybe next year...I have always wanted a costume that could let me swing my stuff around. Painting myself in blue and maybe wearing a mask is a small token to pay for achieving such a lifelong dream

    Rewatching now. This show is amazing.

    I was today years old when I found out Trent Reznor produced the music for the series. Every time Sister Night's song came on I always thought "this sounds like NIN." :facepalm:

    Think this will be my third. I did a rewatch like right after it ended so probably counts as a second since it’s been so long

    This is the sequel to the graphic novel. I did like the movie though. I’ve watched it multiple times because I like everything except the end and thought they did a great job casting.

    I was specifically referring to Veidt.

    But I agree about the movie. I think it's solid.

    I thought the movie was pretty good. Really liked the original and motion comic. If you haven't done one of those latter two, I'd highly recommend it. The tie ins with the show were remarkable

    Just finished my rewatch of this. God damn this show is a masterpiece.

    Im kinda drunk so I'm just gonna ramble. Episode 8 with Angela/Jon at the bar is some of the best non linear story telling Ive seen.

    Love how the themes are still relevant and examplified tdoday. GBR

    Went to start a rewatch and it looks like hbo took it off the app? I've never seen this for any of their originals. Unless the app's just borked again

    Looks like it was removed then put back. Wonder if they’re moving it to Netflix like a bunch of other originals.

    It's not all bad though. Gave me a chance to rewatch the motion comic first so I can remember all of those easter eggs

    Movie is great other than the ending being changed from the source material. I think the original ending could have been pulled off. Series was one of my favorite 5 shows ever. Really were creative in incorporating the original’s themes to newer times and characters.
