I literally got 100% of the Rorschach I needed in the original. I don't need anymore Rorschach. getFANDOM/1283439913728385031Permalink On twitter.com

I keep thinking about this, and how in the Watchman TV show Rorschach's journal basically becomes the M*in K*mph of the Watchmen U & also about how the entire point of the Watchmen comic was basically Moore taking an enormous crap on the Rorschach character and ask... but WHY?Permalink On twitter.com

Like Rorschach is based on a super libertar**n comic character that Moore hated, created by an author whose super libertar**n views Moore hated and a big reason why he wrote Rorschach's character the way he did was to flip an enormous middle finger at the entire POV involved...Permalink On twitter.com

This is equivalent to creating action figures from the Starship Troopers film... like the point of the work was to say 'the original is bad and it has bad ideas. We should deconstruct those ideas to show why they're bad and stop' and people just... lost the thread b/c capitalismPermalink On twitter.com

Like an artist made a message piece about why This Thing is a thing we should consider critically and Not Propagate and then others just look at that and think 'oh but we could make money off more of it'...Permalink On twitter.com

Which is especially darkly funny in the context of Watchmen, b/c Moore basically created Watchmen out of a bunch of characters DC purchased and needed integrated into their universe and Moore burned the entire set of characters to the ground so extensively they had to remake themPermalink On twitter.com

It's just super weird to me. Moore burned a character to the ground, wrecked it for all eternity so badly DC needed him to change the name and look of the character he was using, and now it is getting its own run. It's like watching a diss track become part of a platinum remix.Permalink On twitter.com

Like perhaps another artist could do something interesting with Rorschach at this point... but I just have a hard time being interested in a character whose whole point was to be the end all and be all of what you could say with that character.Permalink On twitter.com

If an artist has an interesting story they want to tell with that character, then I feel like it would prob be better served with using either a new character... or The Question... the character Moore burned to the ground in the first place.Permalink On twitter.com

I dunno it just makes a lot more sense to me that if you want to dive deeper into the Watchmen universe... you place it after the events of the comic like the show did. What happens before the events of the comic is purposefully explored to the full extent of its interest to me.Permalink On twitter.com

And there is 100% a reason why Moore opted to kill that particular character off.Permalink On twitter.com

I mean.... lol. Moore: "I have people come up to me in the street saying, ‘I am Rorschach! That is my story!’ And I’ll be thinking, ‘Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me and never come anywhere near me again for as long as I live?’" stevensurman.com/rorschach-from-alan-moores-watchmen-does-he-set-a-bad-example/On twitter.com

Anyway, credit where credit is due, the reason this came back up in my thoughts is b/c this video popped into my recommendation queue while I was eating lunch, and it is v.good - youtube.com/watch?v=x3p0ArJbmzQPermalink On twitter.com

Also... if you think you'd be interested in difficult characters doing difficult to sympathize with things in an interesting comic format, may I recommend the first half of the Cullen Bunn / Paolo Rivera run of Magneto, up until it gets pulled into crossover bs.Permalink On twitter.com

You'll know to stop reading that one when someone starts talking about Professor X's brain getting stolen by Red Skull. It's.... not a great storyline. To steal from the_moviebob's videos -Permalink On twitter.com
