Your Favourite Watchman

Well, I just finished all twelve volumes... brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

I felt anyone could relate to at least one character in the entire novel, even if not the actual Watchmen.

Whose your favourite? I'm going with Rorschach the Badass, patent pending.:P

After watching the film and rereading the graphic novel Id have to go with

Adrien Veidt (I forget his Superhero name, its been awhile since reading the comics). His plan was genius.

Dr. Manhattan. I kind of agree with his beliefs. sammyjenkis898

Everyone just needs to read the novel. It's miles ahead of the mediocre film.sammyjenkis898

The film was just as good as the comic in all areas except one: the ending (which was MUCH better in the film).

[QUOTE="-_Rain_-"][QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"] The ending didn't even work in the film. It felt like it was just thrown in there, unlike the comic, which had the perfect build up.sammyjenkis898

Rorschach because he was actually entertaining

No, it didn't. In the comic there was a sense of paranoia and doom. In the film there was absolutely no sense of impeding doom. One of the reasons is because the newspaper vendor wasn't in it. sammyjenkis898

Were you watching the same movie as I? Just how many times do the characters need to explicitly state their fear of a nuclear holocaust in order to convey the sense?

I haven't watched the film but i've read the twelve volumes that make up the graphic novel. Volume 6 is my favourite because it's centered around Roschach, my favourite character. The Comedian would be my second.

the one i relate with the most, docter manhatten becouse i agrree alot with him

just pure Badassery? RORSHACH ftw

the comic is way better then the movie but i still loved it, my fave movie of 09 so far.

i dont care what anybody says but the movie ending is superior to the comic imo.

one of my problems with the comic ending was that there was no closure between the relationship between night owl II and rorshach. in the comic

SPOILER BELOW!!!

rorshach dies and thats it, no one even notices or ask "hey wtf happend to rorshach?" in the movie night owl actually watches his freind die, its even more sad becouse he was pretty much rorshachs only freind.

also in the comic doc manhatten leaves basiclly becouse he wants to. in the movie he is FORCED to leave, he has no choice.

The big panic when the ending came around? Regardless of build-up, the ending of the film left far fewer plot holes than in the book and thus was better by standards of story-telling; the ending of the book was useless plot device cleverly tossed in but poorly executed, and the way the people reacted in the book to this plot device was completely absurd. Build-up is great, but plot holes are destructive.-_Rain_-

What plot holes were there? How was the ending a useless plot device that was tossed in? The Tales of the Black Freighter is pretty much parallel with everything that was happening. I would rather have a build up that makes the ending work than an ending that doesn't even work.

No you haven't. All you've expressed is a perceived lack of buildup.

I think ozzymandias because when he looks at the tv screens at the end of the novels and said "i did it" it was just priceless

Dr. Manhatton.

In the graphic novel and movie , I rather liked Rorsach ( sorry I can't spell ). But the movie version made me appreciate more of Ozymandias' character for some reason.

EDIT: scratch adaption, but the acting ruined it for me.
