Oh lol my bad. Rorschach is the schizo psycho hard line hero of the thing. I think the only one coming out well in the moral calculus is Rorschach actually--at least if we're talking about the end. Which is why Dr. M killing him is funny. And Rorschach wins in the end anyway.

Snyder doesn't understand how comics work
Christian Reyes
It happens often that the audience falls for the edgelord.

Somebody needs to redraw this with Alan Moore in the Question's place

Bentley Gray
He didn't.
None of the vigilantes come out well.
Moore loved Ditko and is a sucker for cuh-razy characters. It's just the politics and the violence he doesn't like. He made him both pathetic and sympathetic, but mongrel audiences focus mostly one on side.

Seconding this post, it's clear Moore has some sympathy for Rorsharch. He's arguably the main character and without question the most dynamic. He gets the most detailed backstory of any other characters and it shows how his dogshit life and the horrors he's witnessed made him such a lunatic. But again, like this poster said, you can sympathize with Rorsharch while also recognizing he's mentally ill and you shouldn't necessarily admire him. While he's the most driven and determined, hes also the worst detective of the bunch, and wouldn't have gotten anywhere near figuring things out without Dan's help. He's complex, and there are aspects of him that are heroic, no doubt, but to call him the hero is to ignore that he's also a violent dipshit more interested in punishing criminals than preventing crime

Because he was made to be a strawman.

>Rorshach wins
His journal contains no details about the squid plan. He only vaguely implicates Veidt in his "mask killer" theory, which no one would care about since they general public hates costumed vigilantes. If his journal is even printed, it will be a supporting story in a fringe news rag we never see anyone except Rorsharch buy throughout the book. If it gets anywhere close to the mainstream press, it'll be the word of hated vigilante and convicted murderer Rorsharch against world renowned athlete and beloved international philanthropist Adrian Veidt. Rorsharch's victory is purely moral

>Rorsharch's victory is purely moral
Good enough for him.
But the peace is extremely tenuous that Veidt sets up. And I think the cynicism is that even a bare bones diary by a lunatic would be enough to undo the peace.
Joshua Gonzalez
all the edits annoy me because they portray will smith as winning the confrontation
Juan Phillips
No discussion that it's a tenuous peace, there are very looming implications it doesn't last. But I feel like the ambiguity of what role the journal plays is overemphasized. It's certainly a cool image, but Rorsharch truly knew nothing and has an extremely poor reputation in any case
Levi Thomas
Sucks that his journal was picked up by a bunch of Rightoids who based their own Klan around it.
Noah Lewis
He won the battle but lost the war
Aaron Turner
I don't remember that happening in Watchmen.
William Martin
TV show is not canon.
