r/Watchmen

look up what the Pagliacci scene in the movie was like, I'm sorry to all those who like the movie but man does this scene suck balls in comparison to the comic version. Firstly I kinda don't like Rorschach's voicework here. Feels like a teenager doing a Dark Knight impression rather than someone with an actual raspy voice. There was a lot that was gained by having his death be shown during Rorschach's monolouge. It helps develop both the characters and delivers a little bit of payoff for the blood splattered streets shown at the start. By having the film already show this high action death scene near the intro, it kind of makes its reappearance less special.

I don't remember much about the movie outside of a few scenes (I snuck glances at it while my parents were watching it at an adult family friend birthday party) and while I appreciate it for making me curious about Watchmen and eventually guiding me towards the comic, I don't think I'll watch it anytime soon. I'd rather try out the prequel comic or the tv series after I'm done with Watchmen.

I've seriously been loving this book, I've been taking my time with it in between buying copies of Blood On The Tracks and it has done nothing but impress me.

Is what I ask myself whenever I pick up a book or game or movie that I know just by looking at the cover will be like a parasite sucking at my brain.

That has been Watchmen lately. I want to live and breathe this book. Something like this hasn't happened since maybe Signalis or Mouthwashing. Watchmen has been something lingering in the back of my mind since I was a child. Something I've always wanted to read but never got to cause it felt a little sacred not to know yet.

Anyways I've read up to the second encounter with Moloch. I feel Rorschach has been surprisingly docile for what I expected of him. I can see the mask slipping bit by bit, and I'm wondering where his story will go.

Unfortunately some things have been spoiled for me, but a Howcatchem can be just as entertaining as a Whodunit (I've been watching a lot of Columbo lately and reading Blood On The Tracks which is another kind of Howcatchem).

I know this isn’t exactly the main focus of this subreddit, but I was already a big fan of Watchmen as a comic, and the HBO series is what really stuck with me (especially its tone and atmosphere). I’d love recommendations for films, shows, books, games, or comics with a similar vibe specifically to the HBO series. Any suggestions?

>!If Jon is such a God who doesn't really care about human life and even goes to another galaxy at the end of the story, why did he killed Rorschach? I mean, Rorschach could possibly started world war 3 but Jon never really cared about it, he was just siding with Laurie and Daniel?!<

Sorry if it is late but, to all the Rorschach fans who have been waiting. Here is the ultimate guide, I went high-budget (unlikely of Kovacs) and bought the Cosverse Rorschach Trench coat on Etsy, The DarkFutureShop Scarf on Etsy, and a fedora from HatCapCo also on Etsy. I don't remember where I got my gloves, but I have some deep purple gloves with the 3 points. I also just bought a cheap white spandex mask and painted on it with thermochromic premade black paint. Then I used normal Black paint and painted on a different pattern so there would be 2 phases almost. I also just got black elevator shoes, and Joker pinstripe pants. I went for a better movie Rorschach by combining both comic and movie. I honestly didn't weather it but you can by getting a tote and putting some mud into it, then swish it around with your hands or a normal baking spoon. For the brim of the clothing, you can dry brush burnt amber paint. If you don't want the comic accurate scent, make sure to airdry it. I also bought some sugar cubes and put a handful in my pocket (leaving only one in the jar like in the original comic.) I then put some black powder in the other pocket. I then bought the Barnes & Noble Bombay Brown Leather Journal with Tie, then grabbed a normal pencil. You can weather the journal by just dabbling coffee on the pages. Lastly, I bought the Rorschach Grappling Gun Replica from xekkoworkshopx on Etsy and used sand paper then repainted it with matching color metallic paint. Without weathering, it is $475. With weathering, a tote is about $15 more. You can get a tote at a hardware store or Target. If you follow this and cosplay him, or have any adjustments, please post them here!
