I have, but it's been a -long- time (4-5 years).

i see, i liked it but i didn't like the ending

what didn't you like about it?

let's see...they killed rorschach for refusing to comprimise his beliefs, no one cared he died, not even his so called best friend, the main villain's plan is stupid because just because everyone united against his fake alien attack now doesn't mean it will stay that way so he basicly killed 10,000+ people for nothing, that one woman is a bitch, the one person who was likable in any way and was actually talking sense died...and that's about it

sounds like more than just issues with the ending. :3

uh..yea that's what i said(did i say that? pretty sure i said i only had issues with the ending..)

oh wait i'ms orry i missread that, no i really liked it up till that point (save the girl..)

and then it kinda went downhill from there. yeah, I understand...

I think Dr. Manhattan's origin story is one of the coolest things in there, even though it creeped me right out the first time I read the novel.

yea, rorschach is still my fav though, cause out of all of them, he refused to comprimise his beliefs and integrity for a false promise of peace

The Comedian is the one I loathe the most.

Ozymandias and Rorschach tie for second, with me... and for the same reason:
they consider themselves above the rest of humanity and have no qualms in killing, maiming, or otherwise violating the human rights of those who don't meet their criteria.

Dr. Manhattan has some of that going on, too -- but then, he's truly superhuman both in form and in intellect.
in the end, he does redeem himself from his period of not caring about what happened to Earth.

yea but then he turns right back around and is totally all for veidt's plan, which is stupid. at least rorschach killed people who actually were evil, that's something(not quite much but still puts him on the high ground vs veidt)

I honestly can't stand either Ozy or Rory
but the one who really makes me rage inside
is Edward Blake, The Comedian -- especially after I saw what he did the Vietnamese(?) woman he knocked up,
the one who put that righteous scar on his face.

ror, i tollerate enough since he still had some concept of justice, but i can see why you wouldn't like him. as for the comedian, i didn't like him either, but i wish that one girl would shut up about him

well... he -did- try to rape her (or her daughter). not sure which one you're talking about.

all in all. Blake is the most disgusting of the entire lot, to me.

the daughter, you know the one who hooked up with owlman?

yeah, her. Blake tried to rape her. she's got excellent reason to hate him.

i didn't say she didn't but that seems to essentially be her character, hate everything, complain about everything, whether she has a good reason to or not (and she tended to only have a good reason when blake was involved)

you are correct in that she is a whiny bitch.

kind of like Howl of Howl's Moving Castle,
before he suddenly turns awesomesauceome in the last act.

minus the turning awesome in the last act for her. also really..really veidt? you think no one will try examening the alien thingies and find out YOU made them? or that everyone will stay banded together after the crisis YOU made is over? that's underestimating evil, sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, how much you sacrifice, evil just doesn't go away, that's why people who are seen as heroic are the ones who try not to sacrifice people for their goals. so eventially conflict would start again, especially since the end implies ror's diary was going to circulate. sooooo...yea, for someone soooooo smart and above everyone else, he's really stupid XD (in the end that's why regardless of what ror did, i still rooted for him in the end because he was right, why should he compromise his beliefs so veidt can feel special?

that's possibly the -only- redeeming thing about Ror... his conviction.

Veidt's a blonde-haired bint who needed putting down. (at least, I think he was blode. :P )

yea..yea he was XD

also i wanted to like the owl guy but then he went and was busy having sex while his best friend got destroyed atom by atom

No read. But the movie is good.

ahhh

Its just the short version of the story with same ending.

i see

But I agree with you. Rorschach is probably my favorite character.
I actually like the comedian because he was the parody of human behaviour.

Rorschach in the movie at least, foiled the false peace.

Oz I understand why he did it. But the question is do the ends justify the means?

not really XD

It could have. But still was fake.

and he still killed a bunch of people

Killing is sometimes necessary.

not by the thousands, besides it's a false peace

Peace caused by a fake attack but still is peace.

yes but that will last like what a year or two? then everyone goes right back to hating eachother because that idiot thinks he's so above people he's got them all figured out

But the ending is pretty much the way Alan Moore does a lot of his stuff. I enjoyed the graphic novel too. Have you ever given Moore's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" a try?

I'm looking forward to collecting the GNs for the "Before Watchmen" stuff...I heard DC did a good job treating everything with respect.

i seeeee

my feeling for the movie has been made very VERY clear jae...

donno about the book no, if it's anything like the movie then....*throws table* SHAME!! SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR COW!!

ahh, ok then XD
