Watchmen (2019) S1 E1

a) Why would pissing on battery acid affect anyone’s ability to write?

b) The villain part isn’t dialogue, it’s a verbal manifesto from a terrorist organization

c) You can’t write either, clearly

d) Clearly the lines between “hero” and “villain” are blurred in this story, like in real life. Therefore your immediate reaction tells us more about you than the show.

Take a breath before you post.
(fyi, the whole quote from the Cavalry is a reference to a Rorschach quote from the original story. So…)

a) Because I felt like writing it.

b) It’s a perversion of Rorschach’s line which has nothing to do with race, but the corruption of power and politics. They just rewrote it to suit their narrative all the while completely ignoring the real story.

“All the whores and politicians will look up and shout Save Us! and I’ll look down and whisper No!” is the real line. Theirs is not a reference. It’s spitting in the face of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

c) Better than you that’s for sure.

d) Oh no, the lines between hero and villain have been clearly drawn, and are entirely based upon skin color. Which is what most (sane) people would call racist although in clown world where you’re living it’s probably nothing worth mentioning.
