It's funny how when Alan Moore now describes Rorschach as a vile and terrible person yet in his deconstruction he only really affirmed why Rorschach was a hero.
Rorschach is a vile and terrible person, but at his core he is still quintessentially heroic. He really does want to do good, but his life has twisted his perception he can only do so through violence, intimidation, and fear.
He’s a hero in the same way that the riddler was in the new Batman. His twisted childhood led him to despise humanity, creating a desire to cleanse it. He’s not a hero because he doesn’t want to help anybody, he only wants to punish those who perpetuate or allow evil.
@@waltergaming817 Sorry but no, that's completely false. Rorschach is objectively a hero, and he doesn't kill innocents to prove his point like Riddler did. His twisted childhood isn't what led him to despising humanity, it was the murder of Blair Roche.
@@spoodurmin9742 that is true, blaire rorche’s mudrer was his breaking point were he really gave up on humanity. And while he does refuse to kill innocent people, his definition of what makes a person innocent is questionable at best. He is relentlessly cruel to anybody who even might have information he needs, including a reformed criminal with cancer. Meanwhile he regards the comedian, a psychopathic rapist, as an American hero. And while Rorschach refuses to destroy New York, he and riddler both have similar views on their cities. Rorschach even predicts New York’s destruction, and that he would stand by as it happened.
@@waltergaming817 That’s because he is a hypocrite. He’s inherently a flawed human with flawed beliefs, like everybody in Watchmen. That’s what makes him so compelling, because even with all of his flaws, even with all the bad shit he’s done, he stands out as the best of all of them.
@@joakimpac7118 I AGREE! why take all the time to animate it and then not even pick 1 female from the billion on the planet. Makes zero sense. A horrible woman's voice wouldve been better than a man making her sound like a vesty
This is the best portrayal of Rorschach, this monotone voice suits his resigned personality much better than the tryhard batman voice from the movie. Rorschach kept saying over&over how *"I wasn't Rorschach yet, i was still kovaks wearing a mask"* what he meant by this is that he still had some hope for happiness in life, his outlook on life changed when he witnessed horrors of the underworld, that mixed with his own horrible past ended up turning him into a person who's only life's purpose is to exact vengeance. That's the only way he can cope with his life, this is why the his death is so poignant. He could've just let it go and accept the noble lie or just kill Ozymandias, but he wanted to share his absolutist viewpoint with the entire world. Rorschach believes that the world is an extremely horrible place and he's technically not wrong but the problem with him is that he never realizes that he can create a happy place in this dark world if he fought for it, that's the fatal flaw of his character.
Noble Lie? No, He Knew what that Alan Moore Hell That would Be When the World Realized. He Was the Only Hero. No Matter How Much you Try to Psychologize him.
Rorschach is many things, but a nihilist isn't one of them. If he was a nihilist he would've never fought evil in the first place, let alone been consumed with doing it. He would've simply accepted that everything is pointless because people are bad and nothing will change that, but he fought every single day for the opposite cause. Rorschach believes in absolute good and evil, and he knows that evil must be fought and can never be compromised with or else you end up murdering millions of innocent people for a lie just to get a few more minutes on an imaginary clock. There's nothing noble about that.
Alan moore tried so hard to get people to hate him but ended up giving rorschach some redeemable moments through out the comic. He was the only honorable character in the story.
I don’t think he’s an entirely good or bad person, no one in this story is, it is strange that he receives a disproportionate amount of hate though. He just resonated with me so much. He’s such a mentally broken man and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character so accurately portray what it’s like to be mentally disturbed by sex and relationships.
I like Rorschach, I like him because he moved on with his life without giving up even knowing in the place where he was born, he is a survivor, a fighter, a twisted one. But still it is my favorite, I just hope that in the movie that is coming now in 2024 about Watchmen (animated adaptation by DC) it will be faithful to it. Although I still think that it is better that they take out a series, be it animated or live action. Translator yayyy!!!!
Rorschach is actually the Big Underdog showing how ever supposedly lame or insane are capable of making a difference in the matters on those inherently smarter!
I think Alan Moore, as brilliant as he is, kind of lost control of Rorschach as a character. He said he intended Rorschach to be unsympathetic and kind of disgusting, but, weirdly, Rorschach may be the most relatable character in "The Watchmen." He's mentally ill and has many, many character flaws, but he also has a real moral integrity to him and, strangely, a kind of empathy for others that comes out rarely, that make him a sympathetic character to many readers. He's no role model and you tend to pity him as much as respect him, but the rest of the Watchmen just either give up on trying to make the world better or are apathetic, and, except for him, they all wind up blithely going along with Ozymandias's mass murder.

Rorschach was the best member of The Watchmen and will NEVER be forgotten!
Alan Moore tried making Rorschach as acaricature of everything he hated. Instead Rorschach ironically became his most iconic and popular character

This deserves much more attention. The quality of the animation is phenomenal.
Yes but the voice of Laurie...
@@darthbrutalicious6066 give them some slack all of them are literally voiced by one person

This guys Rorschach voice is 20 times better than the new animated one
100%
Does it matter? I just see the new animated adaptation as a more high budget version of the motion comic.
This is how I will forever hear Rorschach. Very smooth yet dark voice. Better than film.
I remember renting the motion comic DVD from a local library. I only wish they would have had a female voice actress.

This is the greatest superhero noir EVER!
I like how the doctor started to talk like Rorschach.
Makes it even cooler when you see how much Rorschach affected his home life as his son eventually becomes the 2nd Rorschach
57:34 my favorite scene
This video makes it look like rorschach is the main character.
yeah
he is.
This is fucking amazing. So slept on.
Rorschach is a actual Hero i don't give a Fuck if people think he's crazy or a bad person, we need people like that to make this world a better place

I shudder to think what world someone who calls himself the Nomad Joker would call a better place.

the psychologist sounds like Morgon Freeman.
Sweet edit mane
One of my favorite motion picture comics ever
It's like watching movie about me
this was incredible
The monotone voice is way better than the crap voice in the movie. A shame because Jackie Hailey did everything else great in the film.
This is what batman would have been if he wasnt rich and didnt have Alfred .
I HATE Dr Manhattan. He killed my all time favorite DC Comics characters!!!!
Is this the voice of shay cormac!?
Awesome!
I always found it strange that it’s only one voice actor narrating this
