That life is a giant joke.

the store used to be called chuck's feed and seed

That you shouldn't count on others to make you happy.

It fits the theme of the story - who watches the watchmen?

In this case, who cheers up the clown?

that guy is a real jerk!

This. OP, did you think Watchmen was a story about superheroes saving the world?

Superhero who saves others unable to save himself

That what happened on september 11th was a tradegy and osadam needs to pay the price

Pagliacci lived in a society

That is not the point of his adaptation at all. This is dishonest. The death of the original night owl in the movie is the perfect exemple of how much you missed the point. It was a decontruction of the heroic "just" violence. He was beaten into a pulp by lowlife scum while imagining his old nemesis and a glorious demise. Snyder tried to make it look ugly and undeserving of praise. He got the message.

The point of the movie was the ethical conflict between the moral absolutist(portrayed by the insane Rosh) and the utilitarian(portrayed by the aristocraric Veidt). The critique of his adaptation should be around this ethical conflict, but because of brainlets like you it never is.

In the comic, Alan Moore repeatedly said the biggest point of the story is to ask “who runs the world”

In real life we’d say God, or the government or whatever. Alan moore used realistic superheroes as placeholders for them, people everyone expected to save the day and run the world for them.

So naturally Moore wrote them all as crazy, god-complexed, apathetic or just plain pathetic, to say that the people “in charge” during missile crises and wars are just human, like us. Everyone “in charge” is also a scared, confused human who’s trying to live their own narrative.

In real life superheroes wouldn’t be any more sure of how to run the world than the average person. They all need someone elsr to tell them what is right and what’s wrong, because they don’t know anymore.

Hence the clown who needs someone else to cheer him up
