I like Rorschach and all, but I wish he didn’t have an image of my parents fighting on his face.

One thing that you didn't mention. Ozymandius actually created TWO giant psychic squids and sent the other one into Moscow so that neither side could lay blame at the foot of the other.

Dan's essay about owls is one of the most beautifully written segments of the comic. The interludes really made it something special.

“So Manhattan fucks off to Mars to build a sandcastle.” That’s golden.

I like the idea that even if Rorschach’s journal isn’t published, the “utopia” would eventually collapse anyway. At the end of the story it’s revealed that writing negative stories about Russia has been outlawed by the U.S. in order to keep the peace after having seen the horrible outcome of potential nuclear war in New York. But some citizens still harbor the same disdain for what Russia stands for, and without addressing the actual ideological differences and conflicts that led to them to nuclear war in the first place, they’re destined to head there again.

I just love how purely american comic books are so optimistic and colourful and european authors like Alan Moore and Garth Ennis create things like "Watchmen", "Judge Dredd" and "The Boys".

Imagine starting to like a girl, only to know exactly when and how you'll break up before you even start dating. That's truly a tragic character.

"Manhattan gets falsely accused of giving people cancer, and his girlfriend Laurie leaves him for an Owl man. So Manhattan fucks off to Mars and builds a sand castle." This sentence is amazing. The flow and expression of it. So much going on xD

I died laughing & came back as a ghost to write this “ Doctor Manhattan was given all the powers except pants 🩲 “ that line killed me

My favorite line - "And he breaks into people's houses and eats all their beans". :)

I have to say, that's the clearest, most concise and carefully structured explanation of Watchmen I've ever seen, heard or read. Bravo.

Rorschach reminds me greatly of the character featured in ‘Taxi Driver.’ An incredible movie, that might as well be his origin story

An important thing to note about Watchmen’s approach to realism is that, contrary to what its name suggests, it’s not an accurate representation of reality. It’s an accurate representation of what reality would be like with superheroes. Yet a good chunk of the dark edgelord shit inspired by it fundamentally misses that point.

1:41 i really like that detail honestly, the idea that superheroes being real boosted the popularity of other comic genres.
