Favourite Character from Watchmen?

[SomeBritishDude]

Just to be different, Dr Manhattan.

Rorschach was basically the real Batman, which considering the modern hero isn't much of a stretch. An interesting stretch, yes, but for me it's something I'd [i/]almost[/i] seen before.

Dr Manhattan on the other hand is basically the real Superman. A creature so powerful that he's essentially a god. But this only enhanced his alienation and created a character which is one of the most lonely I have ever come across in literature. I felt a great sadness for him. Also, his origin story is my favourite part of the book, and one of the few things about the film which was more than mediocre.

I normally don't like sharing my opinion, especially if everyone else has the same one, but I have to admit Rorschach is my favorite character in Watchmen. I love a character who is so set in his ideals that he literally has no doubt about what the right thing to do is.

Rorschach, Comedian, Dr. Manhattan. In that order.

Hmm I've gotta say Rorschach because of his brutal nature, his unbending will for justice, how messed up he is and "Never compromise, even in the face of Armageddon" come on, how awesome is that?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

In the book Rorschach, but in the film The Comedian came to life so well, it was superb. And I rather like Nite Owl II, because he seems like the sanest superhero guy going.

Never got how people like Rosarch the guys a fascistic, homophobic (likely racist), right winger, he's also a delusional tramp who'd doom the world. The type of person who'd support George Bush and yet people still seem to love him. I'd go for Dr. Manhattan because he's a giant blue god.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Rorschach. Justice above everything, even if it means breaking some bones and cracking some skulls.

"Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Rorschach obviously. Seriously, the only comic book favourite character poll that could be more one-sided is who your favourite Transmetropolitan character was. The guy who made that one finally had to add "apart from Spider". Spider's got the chair leg of truth! You don't mess with him!

Giant nuclear space-squid that wasn't in the movie.

Movie-wise, Cocktor Wanghattan is awesome, a great study in what happens to a human mind under the stress of godhood.

 

[Nouw]

Rorschach. There just isn't any character like him anywhere else.

What ^ said.

 

[Susano]

Ozymandias.
He saved the world. Rorschach tried to destroy what he had fixed. If saving the world means you have to compromise, why not? No-one will be around to experience your twisted version of justice anyway.
Hell, I didn't even like Watchmen that much, everyone had a very odd view of the world. Much preferred V For Vendetta.

 

[Wintermoot]

the first Nite Owl (from Minute Men) he is/was pretty much a little kid he wanted to be a hero wich he became juts to make the world a better place
EDIT: its not that I hate any other characther Rorshach is also a good characther who pretty much observes humanity and its downfall

 

[SnipErlite]

Rorschach.

He's the only one who actually believes in real justice and never stops following it. But because he is the only one who actually stands up for justice all the time, people call him crazy.

Sorry Hub, but this. Totally this.

Never compromise

^_^

Never compromise Rorschach's place as best character ever, even in the face of Armageddon

Just adding my post to the quote train in supporting Rorschach's place as best character. Especially in the movie, where his actor is far and away the best of the cast.

"DO IT!"

 

[The Warden]

Rorschach.
He's just so fucking awesome.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Rorschach, every reason has already been said.

Damn you Michael, making my thread seem worthless.
And Rorschach, definitely Rorschach.

 

[Gavmando]

Rorschach.

"No compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon."

Though Ozymandius is pretty awesome too. The years of planning and work he put into his plan are mind boggling. Not only the technologies required, but the self discipline involved is astounding. The whole concept behind being able to move that fast is something beyond most people who have ever lived. It's not just knowing that a moment only lasts as long as you perceive it to last, but actually reaching a level that you can experience it. ie: Morihei Ueshiba. The dude who created Aikido.
I believe that he would have been on the verge of becoming a Buddha... But then the whole killing heaps of people would have set him back a bit.

 

[God's Clown]

Rorschach. Hands down. He has a cool mask. He does things correctly, and he stands up for absolute justice.

I respect him a hell of a lot. A man who cannot exist in the new world simply because of his principles......well, go him
