this is satirical for anyone unfamiliar. It’s a page from the right wing newspaper that the character Rorschach reads devotedly. It’s got everything. Excessive labels. :liberty-weeping:, the works
Not only did Zac Snyder not understand that Rorschach was meant as a satire of grimdark law and order takes on Batman like Year One, no, his Rorschach and his Batman are the exact same character.
Still love how Rorschach was a none too subtle dig against Steve Ditko’s Mr. A as well
Nearly the exact same outfit, nearly identical philosophy
But where Mr. A is a principled newspaper reporter who moonlights as a vigilante, Rorschach is a greasy weirdo who only reads the greasy right-wing tabloids
He’s ugly, he doesn’t bathe and moreover he’s short and drives a psychologist to the brink with his depravity
Nobody should like Rorschach and yet, for some reason, he’s the most popular character
everything you’ve said is correct but “I’M NOT TRAPPED IN HERE WITH YOU, YOU’RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME” is a fantastic line
Alan Moore is such a good writer that he managed to make a violent dumpster goblin likeable
Understandable maybe, but he didn’t make the guy at all likeable. These people just decided they like bad traits.
