A few notes about Rorschach, spoilers below the click, so read this AFTER watching for best results. - - - - - - All right, first, about his sign board. I don't think that he's been carrying the same one for twenty years, no, but I do think this sign board set the example for ones he would make to replace it when it ears out. The important thing is that he learns a lesson about the depth of humanity's potential evil here, and not to place blind trust in anyone because they seem like a good guy, both lessons that will serve him well come the mystery of Watchmen. Secondly, about his father. It is theoretically possible that the man we see him kill is NOT in fact his actual father, as I surmise, but just some guy who's vaguely speaking as if he were his father, i.e. "get rid of the brat", "start over" and so on, but I think thematically it works better if it was his father and he was that cold and calculating as child, it underlines his sociopathy, to such an extent as we might say he has that. It's very debatable what complexes he actually shows evidence of having, and honestly that's not my area of expertise. Still, it remains the biggest contradiction I've found in these books, and I don't think it was a mistake, I can't believe J. Michael Stryzinski would make such a blatant error. I think it's a story that tells a lot with a few panels sometimes and credits the audience to fill in the gaps, as I've tried to do. Of course you'll make up your own minds about what makes the best story.

Before watchmen: minutemen Update Synopsis A Movie version of the dc comics prequel Series Before Watchmen: Minutemen Update Synopsis A prequel for the 2009 movie taking place during the WW2 events. Before Watchmen: Minutemen Update Synopsis As the predecessors to the Watchmen, the MINUTEMEN joined their abilities to fight injustice in an ever-changing world. They represented a new brand of crime-fighting super heroes with names like the Nite Owl, Silhouette, Silk Spectre, Hooded Justice, The Comedian, Dollar Bill, Mothman, and Captain Metropolis. But who among them will ultimately question where the line between hero and villain is drawn? Will their differences of opinion mean the difference between life and death? Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan Update Synopsis Jon Osterman is a meticulous and methodical man of science who, after a horrific accident brought on by his own experiment, is reconfigured into the atom-splitting DR. MANHATTAN. The former scientist glides in and out of the past, present and future. Free from the limitations of time and space, he watches over timelines of what has happened, what might have been and what may yet be. With powers that make him akin to a god, Dr. Manhattan wrestles with his tenuous grasp on his own humanity and his ability to change the world with the merest gesture. Before Watchmen: Rorschach Update Synopsis It was clear to Walter Kovacs from a young age that he had an innate sense of right and wrong, even if no one else did. Frustrated by the surrounding sin of the world and motivated by his unshakable morality, he became the vigilante known as RORSCHACH. As a masked hero, Walter is able to see the stark contrasts of good and evil in black and white and uphold justice as he sees fit. Before Watchmen: Comedian Update Synopsis Edward Blake's moral code, much like his sense of humor, is darkly ambiguous. Though he's a man of dubious principles and ambition, there's no doubt he's the man for the job if it's a dirty one. Dispatched by the shadow workers of the government in a time of international crisis, the COMEDIAN enters the theater of war to have the last laugh. Before Watchmen: Ozymandias Update Synopsis To what lengths won't Adrian Veidt go to become the world's smartest man? What sacrifices won't he make? Who won't he push out of his way? BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS paints an uncompromising portrait of a man whose altruistic desire to right a corrupt planet might come at the cost of his humanity. Before Watchmen: Nite Owl Update Synopsis Dan Dreiberg's hero was the NITE OWL --- the ultimate defender of justice and a symbol of integrity. His desperation to escape a troubled home life leads him to the doorstep of his idol --- Hollis Mason, the true identity of the man behind the mask. Impressing Mason with his techno-whiz abilities, Dan dons the mantle of Nite Owl. But has the world changed so much that the caped hero is now obsolete? Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre Update Synopsis As a straight-laced and studious teenager, Laurel Jane Jupiter has been in training since birth to take up the mantle of the SILK SPECTRE from her mother. No longer able to endure Sally Jupiter's restrictions, demands and curfews, Laurie runs off with her high school sweetheart, out to map her own path to heroism. Now out of the protective shadow of her mother, Laurie finds that blazing her own trail is more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.

Glad you enjoy it. I'll be resuming this series in a month or so with The Comedian, most likely. I like these extensions a lot for the most part, as since reading the original many years ago I had always wanted to see more of their world when the heroes were still active. I wouldn't mind an Incredibles prequel either, come to think about it. They're rich and deep worlds that never got to show us all they had to offer, starting after the superhero bans were in effect.

@fusionspace175 I completely agree. The HBO show was ok, the stories were good but it felt like they had to do so much with such little time and it didn't even connect to the watchmen universe that most people are failure with. I'll always love Watchmen though, I'd watch pretty much anything made about the universe. Hope to see more.

@@CrossB0nes I liked the HBO show as a stand alone alternate future and an interesting crime drama with masks, but overall I felt that Doomsday Clock was the far more faithful sequel to the characters and the tone as established. I love Jeremy Irons as an actor, but it's his performance I'm enjoying rather than the version of Ozymandias that's been written. In fact, I adapted Doomsday Clock back when the show was new, in order that people could compare the two more easily, though my style was very different then, I was just starting out with the channel. I use a phrase from Wikipedia to describe that effort, as it was "overly long and excessively detailed", but I do think it still works as a story. There were just so many moving parts to the story, I was afraid to leave anything out. Anyway it's all in my watchmen playlist, along with a few nerd rants about the original, which was what I actually started out doing. kzitem.info/door/PLMoD7_jGJdB3bnaChhcQX2Rsyvl9EnnPa
