Rorshach not being on there is disappointing.
We can’t fit all of the Watchmen cast, can we?
I'm not locked in here with you! You're locked in here with me! Melts someone's face with fryer oil. Cringe line.....but kinda funny at the same time.
I mean, he pretty clearly set the record. That irrespective of his appearance, clothing, situation, or anything else, he is a severely homicidal lunatic. One of the more effective scenes. (I liked darth Vader's "nooooo" as well)
Rorschach is basically the Punisher - it's only luck that he likes to kill and torture "bad people", and he shows himself that he's pretty flexible on the definition of "bad".
As a non-Irish-catholic who was not alive in 1940s America, I honestly can't make heads or tails of how conventional or steadfast his morals are, for that crowd. It's a common mistake to reference modern or personally felt sentiments as objective, when they are not. They are exceedingly contemporaneous and location dependent.
But he's a violent, insane, religious man in the 60s, so there's probably something off beyond turning the dial up to 1100
