Coolest comic character. Im about to start chapter 3. I remember watching it as a kid years ago and thought id check this out. Good start to the weekend lol
"Is that what happens to us? A life of conflict with no time for friends...so that when it's done, only our enemies leave roses. Violent lives, ending violently."
Even the music at the end when Rorschach tells the joke and relives the life of the Comedian, captures the magnitude of the moment the way the movie version never did...excellent job.
Yeah, he’s possible the most narcissistic character in comics, somebody says that the entire planet needs to be saved and he’s like “Sounds like a job only I can do!”
Yeah, that's pretty weird. I think it's because he doesn't want to her involved in adaptations, limited editions, and the like. But that's no reason to omit the name of the guy who frickin wrote the story
Himawari Person This is far more respectful than a movie or abysmal HBO adaptation. I wouldn’t have minded attaching my name to this media if I were him.
Wow... Just wow. Never read the novel or seen the movie but this is just incredible...so deep, so powerful i already understand why this is the greatest graphic ovel of all time...wow
The Anthropologist _Forensic Rorschach idolized people like his father, but he’s never really known his father, and calls Comedians rape allegations moral lapses, he’s anti authority but is a total bootlicker other times
The Anthropologist _Forensic not to mention the “speech/joke” in the end of Chapter 2 he feels like the Comedian knew something about the world that everyone closed their eyes to, when the entire chapter is full of reason why the Comedian was a terrible person. Of course he didn’t know much about him, likely NO told him about the riots, Dr. M told him about his time in Vietnam, and he’d read about the book from Hollis Mason. Edward Blake was awful and Rorschach treated it like he was exercising the grand joke that is life. He said “no one understood the joke, that’s why he was lonely” but Edward seemed to actively be a slimy character throughout many points in his life that there’s no reason someone would stick around
The Anthropologist _Forensic to be honest he’s very badass, the asthetic of his customers is completely a doomers love cosplay, but many of his views I’ve noticed after rereading the series is that he’s grown up to be a bit far right and misogynistic, due to his upbringing. At times I think the psychoanalyst was right in many ways but he was too easily influenced
So, Rorschach noticed Moloch at the Comedian's funeral, so he rushed ahead of him to reach his apartment first, changed clothes, cleared out the fridge, hid the food and shelves out of sight somewhere, then crawled inside the fridge and closed the door and waited and waited... all just to scare the heck out of a sick old man.
The movie toned down Roarsach's character His voice wasn't gravely. It was supposed to sound monotone and almost robotic like it does here. While I do like the movie they should have kept Roarsach's voice the way it originally was
Did anybody catch that bit of foreshadowing at @19:39? "As we forgive those who trespass against us" while Manhattan and Ozymandias are shaking hands. Manhattan eventually forgave Ozymandias for what he did at the end.
Petition to have this man voice every audiobook ever. The performance is stellar in capturing the emotions ❤. This is one of my fav comics of Alan Moore and deff top 10 in general
Everyone complains about the narrator narrating the female characters, but the truth is it doesn't seem to matter when I have the perspective that the narrator is reading to us much the same as if someone was reading to us in person, or if we were reading aloud to ourselves. Keeping that in mind almost makes the voice issue pointless, as the limits of a single narrator make the interactive experience more real, not by what we would hear in our heads, (like muting the volume and imagining the voices ourselves) but having a single person read to us rather than a cast like a movie.
Exactly, well said. I think this guy did a good ass job, and I'm definitely watching the rest of these. The voices don't bother me at all, it's like im reading a book. You don't change the voices in your head when your reading a book based on the characters.
I've watched this motion comic at least a dozen times. Read the comics on my own as well. But whenever you come back to it, the first time he does the female voice, you erk a bit, but once you fall into the soothing story of the Watchmen, you completely forget about it.
biggee316 in the comedians defense his pants were down so he was like 25 percent power u ever try fighting with your pants down it’s hard let alone doge a blow
Samuel Rosales Comedian waited until Hooded Justice was old and broken to fighthim so it’s practically bullshit he’s a coward by design not to mention shooting a pregnant woman.
+DtownHorrizenBullies the clown is a symbol of all seemingly joyful people who like to make others laugh. Deep down inside we know how sorrow feels, and we do not want others to experience that.
Funny hearing rorschach talk about what a hero Blake was in chapter 1 and now in chapter 2 we learned what a monster he was. Rorschach is very delusional and hypocritical.
@@DeathToMayo I think that's the fault of the film's director. He portrayed Rorschach as a courageous hero and practically erased his unsavory elements.
The comedians tombstone said he was born in 1924, and the unplesantness with silk spectre happened in 1940. Do the math and it adds a new level of uncomfortable to that moment.
6:53 I really like Hooded Justice in this scene and I'm glad he stopped the Comedian. That being said he comes off so horrifying in this scene. How this panel is drawn combined with the music and his icy monotone voice. Truly an intimidating presence
@@jamesgreen1166 perhaps he was an African American orphan posing as a German in order to gain white privilege, and exact justice on a world that betrayed him as a youth?
@@JesusIzAPunkRocker there's one scene at the end of the minutemen incident where you get a close up of Hooded Justice's face, and you can see, like, the skin around his eyes? He's either white or albino, and considering how rare the latter is I think he's white. Besides, if you're theory is true, why would his costume have a f**king noose around his neck? Come to think of it, why _does_ his costume have a noose around his neck...
a single narrator - no different than any other audiobook. yes, that one narrator does all the voices male and female. have some goddamned imagination.
That goes to show that he´s a hypocrite, even if he did the right thing. He himself said that he "doesn´t compromise" but that moment shows that he does
Comedian & Lono (From 100 Bullets) are my favorite psychopaths in Comicbooks. They're both human with nothing but a passion for doing what they please, by any means.. Fear nothing.
"black unrest, promiscuity, anti-war demos and drugs", of course. i mean it's right there on the damn map. now whether those things are actually WORTH fighting against...
@@genericyoutubecommenter589 I think Watchmen is about different generations coming to terms with their own realities. What 'the greatest generation' would see as growing problems, later generations would see as signs of improvement.
2022 and still so true not enough good too much evil too much darkness in the world now i understand why the laughing man laughed he figured it all out and instead of doing something about he joked about it told jokes and made us all laugh but the sad thing about the laughing man was he had no one too make him laugh he had no one that understood him he crys inside his soul you never see it for it wont show why is the world cruel i just dont know for one point of view it is not and the other it is the end too end all ends curtains roll the drums all is a dream and yet all is not a dream goodnight sleep well.
In ancient Greece, women were not allowed to take stage, so ale actors played the parts of women in theatrical plays... You could say this is as true to form to the origins of theaters as you can get... The animation is so great, you just take it for what it is, a man narrating the comic book dialogue...
I haven’t watched this in a few years and the last part has me laughing. I remember reading this in middle school, but it’s just hard to take the last monologue seriously now. Everything else is good.
I’ve had experience with audiobooks but if I could, I’d nominate Kari WALGREN, who spoke for Starfire of the Teen Titans in these mature straight-to-video movies Warner Brothers animated, and Zatanna in a kid friendly series, “DC Superhero Girls”; ya know, for the female characters.
