Jeez.
You could do something much more productive with your time. You could learn a new foreign language. You could study microbiology. You could train Siberian tigers.
Instead, you're having a mental breakdown in Yea Forums.

Are you sure OP is the one having a mental breakdown , user?
Logan Sanders
Would Rorschach even be found guilty if he went to court?
Jack Robinson
Zachary Collins
Oliver Parker
Henry Russell
Yes, superheroes are illegal in Watchmen world
Landon Powell
Tyler Rodriguez
Yeah, pretty sure. What kind of person would spend this much time posting each page one by one of a comic they don't like? Even the unironic storytimes of pain, the ones with actually bad comics, are done because the comics are so bad their funny and it can be enjoyable to read them together.
Nathaniel Nelson
Isaac Rogers
Easton Ramirez
Austin Sanchez
Part of me expected at least a small reference to the electric car and the Flash having the same logo in Doomsday Clock. Either a one-off joke or Manhattan unconsciously duplicating it.
Adam Brown
Joseph Robinson
Nicholas Price
Rorschach's reactions get me every time.
Justin Ramirez
Ian Campbell
Daniel Gonzalez
This is the one part I never got, why'd they kill him? It doesn't look like his body is preventing the door from being opened.

I honestly like Dr. Manhattan being casual. It's so absurd, yet normal.
Nolan Thompson
Charles Watson
Brayden Evans

I've always wanted to commission an artist to draw Darksied and Manhattan sitting on separate couches, one reading a magazine and the other just flipping channels on the TV

So, did Hollis beat the shit out of them, or is this deliberately supposed to be a contrast?
Kayden Barnes

This was the best scene in the movie and they fucking cut it.
Jacob Green

I feel like this scene is supposed to mock Cosmic Marvel stories.

Why is Laurie too retarded to understand that Jon can't solve the world's problems?
Nathaniel Sullivan

Why do I get the impression that Jon secretly wants to leave Mars and repopulate mankind with Laurie?

Asher Price
Brayden Thomas
Jackson Lopez

I honestly hate that the movie removed the human part of Dr. Manhattan because he's deliberately telling Laurie to chill the fuck out.
Gabriel Green
Adrian Hernandez
He can if he actually tried, he just doesn't want to.
Nathaniel Bennett
Logan Bennett
Caleb Ward
>this is insanity
yep
Oliver Jones
FUCK I just now noticed her earrings. This book I swear.
Gavin Foster
Joshua Gray
Landon Long
I mean, Jon just wants to live a comfy life in space and alone making scientific discoveries. He's just not interested in the Russians and USA wiping everyone off because of their dick measuring missile contest.
Gabriel Roberts
Moore is a hack, OP is doing the right thing.
Kayden Moore
Josiah Jenkins
I never understood Jon's immense apathy but I'm probably just a brainlet.
Grayson Reyes
>"The Comedian... was your father!"
Made me so irrationally angry.
Cooper Fisher
Joshua Sullivan
Bit of both. He's actually putting a bit of a fight but compared to the shitty Snyder version he's still just a frail old man.
Jaxon Thompson
Juan Campbell
Just curious, OP: are you the same user who SoP'd Kingdom Come a lil while back?
Justin Diaz
Lincoln Powell
Lincoln Cooper
Jason Adams
He's barely human at this point, the scope of his powers makes everything going on in Earth seems so quaint in comparison
Luke Peterson
Jon never had apathy. He was tired of being dominated by women and society into using his problems to solve their problems. From his perspective, they're just irrationally afraid of things they don't understand.
Jaxson Smith
Daniel Watson
Hey, you'd probably be apathetic if you knew absolutely everything you were going to do during the duration of your existence.
Henry Morris
Gavin Gomez
Ethan Mitchell
Jon's words are still framed human. He acts more like a science professor who's not interested in saving the world despite society pleading.
Landon Brown
No, never read Kingdom Come
Brayden Collins
Robert Gonzalez
David Stewart
Blake Brooks
Kayden Howard
Oliver Bennett
Would Adrian's plan to save the world have been better if he just made an Ozymandis cartoon with musical guest stars?
Chase Carter
Ryder Turner
Kevin Cooper
The feel when Roscharch saw himself in that kid and chose not to make the same mistakes his parents did.
Ian Evans
Levi Green
Brody Hall
He compromised with Ms. Shairp for the kids sake.
Leo Roberts
Hudson Gonzalez
That look of sheer, utter sadness on Rorschach is palpable.
Jayden Murphy
Jose Diaz
Henry Cox
Colton Hall
Daniel Martinez
Logan Long
Mr. A would've killed Ms. Shairp while the kid watches. Rorschach has his limits and knows when to stop.
Zachary Sanchez
I want to frame that one edit where Rorschach doesn't let go of his hand.
Landon Moore
Bentley Gomez
Isaiah Wright
Jaxon Davis
Mr. A would have killed Ms. Shairp and then lectured the kids in a series of paragraphs about how she deserves it for making false rape accusations.
Hudson Cruz

Dammit, I honestly want a Rorschach comic, if only because I like the idea of the Scorpio Killer, Son of Sam, or DC Sniper as a hero.

Gavin Davis
This page raises a point: how did Rorschach's journal even influence the events of Doomsday Clock when it's the Watchmen Equivalent to the Unabomber's Manifesto, or the ravings of a serial killer?
Caleb Mitchell
Wyatt Baker
Evan Carter
Adam Kelly
>the events of Doomsday Clock
Don't count.
Benjamin James
I love the logos that they all have. I can really imagine cover artwork of Rorschach making his way down an alleyway, the Rorschach logo appearing as graffiti, and the little splotch that forms the "O" being what's left of some rapist.
Jack Miller
It took seven years and it only takes the smallest amount of research to prove anything.
Benjamin Myers
Caleb Harris
Gabriel Hernandez
Because Johns is a hack and can't write for shit.
Hudson Lee

Asher Torres
Alexander Morales
Adrian Flores
>implying the unabombers manifesto isnt 100% right
Dominic Clark
William Cook
Nathaniel Morales
Owen Perry
Xavier Ortiz
Jason Bailey
Bentley Myers
He isn't implying that at all. He's talking about how it's *perceived*, not how accurate it is. Rorschach's journal is what's being compared to it. How are you getting a lack of truth out of that comparison?
Henry King
Aaron Scott
Jacob James
Thomas Mitchell
Cameron Howard

I legit hate how much Comedian wank there is in Watchmen it seems practically everything that happened is because he existed. Even Doc mentioned how "Blake saw how the world really is"
Isaiah Lewis
Juan Wood
I like that we're all just reading the comic now.
Isaac Moore
Wyatt Moore
Very easy to knock down a house, much harder to build one.
Lucas Gutierrez
Eli Turner

It's not wank at all; it's condemning his very existence.

What is this supposed to say? That any means is permissible as long as the ends are acceptable?
Carson Clark

Fuck Watchmen, I hope the HBO show rapes it more than the film did. It can only be an improvement, you deserve Lindelof.
Logan Sanchez
Fuck dr. manfaggot.
So full of himself.
Lucas Wood
tom king mister miracle
Cameron Peterson
Of course not, but since what was done was done, there's no point in ruining the peace born from destruction. But peace built on a lie is fragile, and Rorschach's journal will reveal that. Hopefully. I really hope the HBO show is good.
I don't appreciate your terrible opinions but I do appreciate you for this story time. Thanks user
David Peterson
Dark Knight Returns, Flex Mentallo, Pax Americana, Miracleman, Red Son

Thanks for reminding me how much I love this comic, dude.
Sebastian Lee
Would you let humanity go extinct for moral purity?
Colton Brooks
Jack Robinson
I would, but only out of spite.
Parker Adams
>Bradford Wright described Watchmen as "Moore's obituary for the concept of heroes in general and superheroes in particular."
>Putting the story in a contemporary sociological context, Wright wrote that the characters of Watchmen were Moore's "admonition to those who trusted in 'heroes' and leaders to guard the world's fate". He added that to place faith in such icons was to give up personal responsibility to "the Reagans, Thatchers, and other 'Watchmen' of the world who supposed to 'rescue' us and perhaps lay waste to the planet in the process".
>Moore specifically stated in 1986 that he was writing Watchmen to be "not anti-Americanism, [but] anti-Reaganism", specifically believing that "at the moment a certain part of Reagan's America isn't scared. They think they're invulnerable."
Josiah Gonzalez
fucking lol
I'd let humanity go extinct because humans are a cancer that is very slowly - scratch that, very quickly - killing the Earth
Brandon Howard
the Punisher did
David Jones
Transmetropolitan,
Before Watchmen (Minutemen ONLY),
Any Daredevil written by Frank Miller,
Bone by Jeff Smith
Christian Bennett
>Adrian himself didn't consider Rorschach a threat because he's mentally ill
>Jon can see past and future across multiple realities, doesn't erase the journal
Was killing him really necessary?
Samuel Williams
Tachyons.
The answer is always tachyons.
Brandon Mitchell
That room of oligarchs was what caused the extinction in the first place, the exact thing Veidt was trying to stop.
Eli Adams
Killing Rorschach was a kindness.
Elijah Cooper
Based. Fuck this book.
Hudson Moore
The fuck are you on? Outside of a handful of humanizing moments the Comedian is portrayed as a vile human being.
Jacob Hughes
Don't listen to this shitposting retard
I'd recommend pretty much anything by Moore, Miracleman is probably the closest in approach and tone.
Michael Russell
The Punisher isn't exactly a paragon or morality.
Camden Thomas
I love the slow zoom in on Rorschach
Lucas Lewis
Jokes on you, I actually found even more appreciation from the storytime.
Ryan Thomas
Good thing DC's got prequels for Watchmen and is publishing a sequel written by the legendary writer Geoff Johns.
Evan Powell
Rorschach was committing suicide by Manhattan.
Noah Hall
>Nothing ever ends Adrian
what DID he mean by this?
Joshua Diaz
I never realized how much of a puppet Dr Manhattan is in this story.
Every single thing he does is done because someone else told him to do it. Everything, even when goes from Mars to escape it all, he still only appears in front of Laurie because Laruie wanted it, only decided to save humanity because Laurie told him too, only agreed with Ozymandia because he told him it was a good idea. Right down to killing Rorschach. Didn't even do anything till Rorscharch told him to do it.
Ethan Jones
I'd always thought of him as being basically mentally ill, really. The most powerful man on the planet believes he has no control over his actions. That's kind of schizophrenic.
Or something. I might be getting the exact nature of it wrong, but he could easily be seen as "fucking crazy".
"Oh, I can't control anything I do at all, boo hoo".
Kevin Bailey
He was a pushover even when he was Osterman. His father chose his profession, Janey made the first move...
It's probably to show that he isn't as far removed from humanity as he thinks he is.
Robert Reed
>we're all puppets
Isaiah Rogers
Ok, hold on, ok. why did LBJ not use Manhattan in Vietnam??? and is comedian killing jfk just a one off joke? i don't know enough about jfk conspiracies
still a great comic
Lincoln Perry
Did Adrian have any reason to lie about his servants like that? I mean he candidly admits to killing millions of people.
Gabriel Smith
That was me, and Kingdom Come rightly fucking sucks.
Ethan Edwards
>Ill give it a little thought
Benjamin King
I absolutely love the humor in these pages
>come and get me
>cut to dan/laurie coming to get him
>provided nobody's been too rough with the electricals
>cut to Rorschach yanking on cables
>old grudges and bad blood
>Rorschach covered in bad-guy's blood
>he shouldn't be too difficult to track down...
>literally leaving footprints
And so on.
Lincoln Fisher
Here's why Moore was full of shit: THE NUCLEAR ARMS RACE DIDN'T LEAD TO WORLD WAR III. IT DID THE OPPOSITE. IT PREVENTED IT.
Moore's entire basis for the story is that "the Cold War can only lead to nuclear war", but that entire premise was proven false just a couple years or so after the comic was published.
AND THAT MEANS RORSCHACH WAS RIGHT.
HOW FUCKING SHIT IS YOUR STORY IF THE VILLAIN YOU SPEND THE ENTIRE STORY SHITTING ALL OVER TURNS OUT TO BE RIGHT IN THE END?
John Fisher
That's not Kingdom Come.
Luis Cox
I beg to differ.
Mason Williams
Great out of context
Jeremiah Lee
What said.
>Right down to killing Rorschach. Didn't even do anything till Rorscharch told him to do it.
He probably would have done something regardless
>LBJ
>not use Manhattan in Vietnam
Slow down and read it again buddy
Dylan Anderson
I think most people would be willing to compromise even what they considered their most sacred values if the scale of the stakes was high enough
Truth, justice etc. could seem abstract and unimportant when billions of lives and the fate of human civilization is actually in your hands
Dylan Ortiz
Always depresses me.
Juan Sanchez
It's probably just bait
Christian Moore
Still one of the greatest moments in comics.
Charles Wright
>the veidt method
sensible chuckle
Adam Cox
Honestly those puns are what cement Adrian as the most unlikeable character in all of this.
Noah Clark
I only just now realized that her talking about the costume isn't purely bdsm aesthetics but alluding to the Comedian. Oi.
Christopher Martinez
It's a good comic.
Josiah Rogers
what did the crowd's intervention on the domestic dispute represent? did they prove Ozymandius's assumptions about man's violent nature wrong at the moment of his master plan's execution?
Blake Williams
Yes. Ozzy killed millions for no reason.
Easton Rivera
Nixon's the one who asks him to get involved in 1970
Aiden James
so it's anti-reagan propaganda
Chase Ross
>all these trigger Moorefags
kek
Bentley Campbell
We came pretty fucking close at times, you're looking at the Cold War with the benefit of hindsight rather than looking at it when tensions were at its highest. Not to mention Moore changed history in the Watchmen universe to inflame tensions even more, making a nuclear exchange even more likely.
Oliver Young
Those are some really shitty opinions
Alexander Kelly
he looks like hank hill with a mullet in the botom left panel
Asher Watson
But it's not. Watchmen is hyped but it is actually good and deserves it. You are thinking of Killing Joke
Josiah Cruz
Based
thanks OP I thoroughly hated it
Justin Fisher
I guess Adrian manipulated the media, to get this spin on the story, but even then I think the Alien Invasion part was pretty far fetched.
Charles Green
It's perhaps less "I can't control anything I do at all" and more of "I can't distinguish anymore, whether I make my own decisions, or just follow some script I've allready memorized and I'm forced to follow?", because either way he allready knew in advance what it would lead to.
Can an omniscient being do anything that suprises itself?
Dominic Turner
you have a very shallow understanding of the comic, its clear you feel personally attacked by the depiction of rorshache
Austin Perez
They only died to keep the secret. He can't justify those deaths so he tries to cover them up.
That, or he's just saying what he'll say to the police.
Blake Sanders
They were welding right next to him and his protests/pained reactions would have slowed them down.
Nathan Nelson
if you have Yea Forums x and a 4chanpass you can auto post images
