God, imagine if Homelander wins though

But its Hughie saying it because Urban refused to say that speech or something.
That or Homelander actually wins in a shock scene but it's Sister Sage's predictions or dreams or something before the REAL events occur.
 
This show hits the same kike and libshit writing point as Invincible down the abortion plotline. Complete lack of creativity.
"Superheroes are actually evil/crazy" had already been done to death a decade before Ennis subjected the whole of humanity to the Boys, his only "contribution" to the idea was adding more gratuitous, infantile porn and gore, as is in his nature.

The really sad part is that none of it is actually particularly daring or boundary-pushing - both Invincible and the Boys are incredibly passe and prosaic, the safest kind of edgy slop imaginable. One could argue both are the gore equivalent of safe horny.

Neither Ennis, Kirkman, or the writers of the TV show or cartoon are capable of doing something actually risqué, or violate liberal religious orthodoxy. It turns out all those liberal "freedom of expression" advocates were not actually making shock content to prove a point, but simply doing it because they get off on all the gore, porn and degeneracy on display.

I shit on Moore all the time, but whether intentionally or not, he actually did give Rorschach a fair shake. Then again, that was decades prior to the Current Year, so blatant attempts at bad writing would have been ridiculed.

Audiences have been subjected to this kind of trash for more than 20 years now and are completely desensitized to all of it.

The only retards that think they're being clever are Ennis and Kirkman, who are morphing into the Gen-X equivalent of boomers, now perpetually mentally stuck in a fever dream of the mid-00s, masturbating themselves raw at the outrage and shock their content is causing to conservative sticks in the mud like Jack Thompson.

Moore's problem with Rorschach was that instead of tearing down his ideology (you know the thing that matters) he instead just threw every surface-level negative trait he could think of at him and assumed that was enough to make people think Rorschach was bad and wrong and crazy.

Rorschach was a smelly, homeless, ginger, misogynist, homophobic, abrasive asshole manlet, but in the end he was still right. Rorschach is a caricature in all the ways that don't matter, meanwhile his core beliefs and motivations remain pure as driven snow.

He was the only one that didn't pussy out and stop fighting crime just because the government said it's a no-no, and he was also the only one that refused to cover up mass genocide because Ozymandias is autistic and thought he could play god. He believed that there is good and evil, and evil must be punished. You cannot compromise with evil, it must simply be fought, even if doing so is pointless or suicidal.

TLDR: Moore is British and tried to satirize a right winger, the typical result ensued.

Even since the comic came out he's been seething that people identify with Rorschach's "childish" morals, which is genuinely hilarious, because who else are they supposed to agree with?

The Comedian is an amoral nihilist - a rapist, war criminal and murderer.
Dr. Manhattan is a coward that pretends to be above it all, and ultimately just runs away.
Nite Owl is a normie cuck, getting everyone's sloppy seconds, and betraying his best friend in the end.
Silk Spectre is a whore with daddy issues that has no opinions of her own.
Ozymandias is genuinely insane and so narcissistic he thinks he has all the answers, but ultimately outs himself as a sham when he asks the blue retard if he's doing the right thing.

The only person with a relatable moral compass is Rorschach, who, despite claiming "And I would whisper no!", still risks his life to stop Ozymandias' plan, and when that fails, dies trying to expose his crimes.

The fact Moore fails to understand why people relate to Rorschach to this day just goes to show how alien liberal "morality" truly is.

Its even funnier that, as time has gone on, him being a anti-government misogynist homophobe has flipped to being positive traits and a sign of someone with high moral character in modern society outside batshit insane lefty urban shitholes.

The cold war ending IRL with people just mutually agreeing that dying sucks after the comic came out vindicates Rorschach more than anything else.

Ozymandias was a fart-huffing dipshit that spent his free time masturbating to the idea of the "greater good" and didn't understand humanity. Rorschach did. Objective reality agreed with Rorschach.

Lol, lmao.
 
Morality requires close-mindedness and belief in if not outright objectivity. Immorality is caused by open-mindedness to things that are unnatural, disruptive, and degenerate. The open-mindedness leads to subjectivity, which is the equivalent of validating everything however well-intentioned. Liberalism leads to immorality through misplaced ideas of equality and liberty. Specifically regarding fundamentally different peoples and the ability to do things that are innately self-harming (homosexuality, genital mutilation, and partaking of controlled substances).

This is how you get Soldier Boy coming out of Season 3 looking like the best moral authority out of everyone in spite of being a dick. He doesn't back down when challenged by people whose morality seemingly changes on the dime. His enemies are people more degenerate than him and traitors. No one liked him getting fucked over at the end for a reason.

Ozymadias didn’t give a shit about any kind of greater good, he was a psychopathic narcissist who wanted to rule the world.

Also, Moore gave Rorschach all of those negative traits while giving him a tragic AF backstory.

Yeah, he's got some screws loose, because the poor man was abused by his whore mother (and most likely her customers too), witnessed some dogs eat the remains of a little girl who was kidnapped and raped, and continued to witness the absolute worst that society has to offer. That would break literally anyone's spirit, so the readers immediately understand why Rorschach is the way he is.

So Rorschach was not only completely in the right, but he was also the most sympathetic character in Watchmen BY FAR.

I find it hilarious that Moore accidentally wrote one of the best comic book characters ever, lol.

And this is the part that really gets me with these writers. They strike gold, not because of skill or intuition, but luck. I can only imagine the stories that could be written in todays age, if they did have moral, and heroic protagonists, with a hardline objective code.

Could you imagine? They did this shit during the pandemic for The Blacklist.

I can't find the clip before the animated ending to the episode (season 7 finale), but I remember watching it back then and I'm like, "they halted the episode just to virtue signal about fucking COVID". It was one of the most bizarre things I ever saw and I kind of knew even back then it wasn't the end of the fucking world.

Rorschach is batshit insane on several levels. He's still far more human than most of the other characters: there's a single point where Rorschach meets with his landlord after fleeing the prison (an atrocious screeching subhuman that made up a story about him being a sex pest to sell to the tabloids). By his own "code", she would require horrible punishment. For a moment he stops, notices the crying children behind her and simply goes away. Because he sees something of himself in the children. And they are innocent.

I find amusing to reflect about Watchmen in a Boys thread. Moore wrote Rorschach as a negative character, but he's still a hero. He resonates with the people because there's something primal in us that screams that we should act when something is wrong, that there's a righteous anger somewhere. After all, what's Rorschach greatest sin? That he's a terrific loser? Despite being poor, uneducated and a bigot, he tries to do the right thing. Compare and contrast with all the other Watchmen that are essentially morally bankrupt or detached from humanity.

Rorschach is human, fallible and heroic. People naturally respond to that.

Compare and contrast with The Boys where everyone is simply an asshole. Imagine Rorschach written by Ennis, where the only two options we could are lone wolf spec ops too cool 4 u soldier man or pedophile loser rapist. Has Ennis ever written a character that has any finesse?
