Not asking whether you like the movie specifically, but do you like the choice of actors the movie had for the characters? I always thought they were weirdly spot on for most of them, the actor for Rorschach is practically identical to his comics appearance, only one they changed the design was ozymandias.

I know a lot of people don't like any of the prequels and sequels but...🤷 (Please delete if not allowed)

I've read the comic multiple times, I've seen the movie even more. I'm not here to pretend I can understand some higher purpose or theme besides what's obviously stated:

Rorschach = Complex Psychopath, driven by fear

Dr. Manhattan = Cold, Unwavering, and Logical Demigod

Nite-Owl= Stand in for Normalcy, the everyday washed up dude.

I get it.

The Scene that stands out to me, within both mediums is Rorschachs death. It becomes so much more and gets tossed away so frivolously due to the nature of the character.

In the movie he LITERALLY looks back and sees "Daniel" for who he is, inevitably leading to Nite-Owl revealing himself out of desperation to connect (the one true person he could be himself around). Before delivering his monologue...Rorschach knew he wasn't going to go home (hence leaving the journal to be published). Sure he is a piece of shit we aren't supposed to "root" for but the sympathetic aspect is played up (way more in the movies).

In the comic, his death is almost seen as some unavoidable obstacle that allows a sense of brevity for everyone BUT him. There is no emotion. There is no sense of weight, other than the fact that we've followed this "narrator" along his journey of self doubt and paranoia. Still...it hits you. No member of the MinuteMen has been killed except for the Comedian at this point (not including the "Golden Age heroes"). And even then it was mostly a flashback, unlike the movie.

All I'm saying is...it's stuck with me ever since and ever more to come. Powerful indeed.

Hurmmm.

I seen movie , just started watching tv show? Are they connected like I’m so confused why are so many Rorschach or imposters of him
Again I’m new i apologize
