One of the best comics documentaries out there.

How does /fringe/ or /x/ feel about him, anyway?


 No.1030121

After what he did to Lovecraft and Lovecraft's stories I have no respect for him left anymore.

What did he do?


 No.1030126

Neonomicon and Providence. Also he made a gay jew be the one having all the Lovecraft ideas, influenced by the old gods to infect the real world before he got into a tentacle orgy or some shit like that.

After stuff like that you can't even enjoy the rest of his stuff, especially because I enjoyed the first two volumes of League of the Extraordinary men and I believe he fucked up in the third and the spin off about Big Brother.

Ew. Well, that's expected, considering his terrible politics and wicked practices.


 No.1030128

>>1030127

He also made Harry Potter a school shooter. Imagine being so butthurt about that to go to the full disgusting end.

>>1030128

Why was he butthurt about Harry Potter first three books/games/films were the only good ones? Because of Rowling's portrayal of magic and its popularity?


 No.1030131

>>1030129

Because he believes he is a wizard or some shit and can't stand Harry Potter readers going to the wand stores he frequents or some shit.

>can't stand normalfags buying the same wands he purchases

So he's /a/?


 No.1030137

>>1030136

He is worse than /a/, more inconsistent to his views and more ban happy, and even a worse taste.


 No.1030138

My joke was that he hates what's popular.

This. I can't stand the treatment he's given; Lovecraft had a very hard life.

>>1030123

I remember it being discussed it in some detail in another bread >>1008062

>>1030126

Yeah, I now look back at some of his older works that I enjoyed and begin to see the poz like with 'From Hell' with all the patriarchy bullshit and the psychic fainting when Hitler is born. That said, I still appreciate how the story is structured - you know right off the bat who the Ripper is and the story is about exploring the motives.


 No.1030238

>>1030126

The ending of part three was a blast though. Part 4 feels like it's just going to be another excuse to rag on how problematic James Bond is.


 No.1030280

I feel like the stuff he made before he got an ego was his best. Swamp Thing, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, his work on Doctor Who Magezine. Watchmen was good (though overrated), but it kind of destroyed him. Even V For Vendetta I don't really care for.

>Ozymandias

>Supposed to be the SMARTEST FUCKING FUCK EVER TO FUCKING LIVE YOU SOGGY IN THE NOGGY BRAINLETS

>Determines that the only way to avoid a devastating war that probably might happen is to kill a shit ton of people and lie about in in some intricate conspiracy that also involves framing people who have done genuine good

>"Heroes" cuck out and go along with his plan because "hey it's better than those people dying for nothing"

>Rorschach is wrong for wanting to expose this, and Manhatten who can barely give a shit about anything anymore because he's trapped between humanity and godhood kills him.

Watchman only makes sense when you realise it's designed as grimdark fantasy fap-material for nihilists and cynics.


 No.1030330

>>1030329

Doesn't the ending imply that Ozzy's plan may ultimately fail?


 No.1030333

>>1030330

It was implied that his plan might fail because Rorschach's journal may have been made public.


 No.1030334

But it just gets to me

>War is wrong

>So I'm going to commit mass murder and frame Manhatten/Space Squid

>See the Nations agreed to no wars

>I am smartest man alive


 No.1030335

>>1030333

I should have been a bit more clear; I meant the conversation between Oz and Manhattan implied that the plan was going to fail- and left Oz wondering if he actually did do the right thing. But that shouldn't be surprising, the plan is honestly pretty stupid, as >>1030334 points out


 No.1030337

>>1030335

Oh, I don't remember that part. Maybe I should rewatch it soon.

Not only that. Look at the poem Ozymandias' superhero persona was based on. It's even featured in the comic.

>I met a traveller from an antique land,

>Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

>Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

>Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

>And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

>Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

>Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

>The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

>And on the pedestal, these words appear:

>My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

>Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

>Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

>Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

>The lone and level sands stretch far away.”


 No.1030711

Moore is overrated.


 No.1030719

>>1030329

>Rorschach is wrong

No he isn't.

>>1030334

>War is wrong

This was not Ozymandias's motive.


 No.1030721

>>1030719

>Rorschach isn't wrong

Yes he is. He's a bitter twisted lunatic who is too attached to his own perception of reality to see the bigger picture.


 No.1030723

>>1030721

But when Ozymandias gives him the big picture, Rorschach understands and still objects. His moral code is incompatible with keeping Ozy's plan secret.


 No.1030725

>>1030723

Why do you think he's crying when he tells Manhatten to kill him? He knows he's wrong on a subconscious level and yet he still can't stop being retarded. Rorshach is a sad pathetic character, similar to John Locke in Lost. He's just a loser.


 No.1030728

>>1030725

He's crying because even when he's trying to do the right thing to tell the world about the secret plan to kill off millions to save billions, he's still being treated like it's wrong. And knows he's a dead man by the hands of someone who used to be his ally. So he just wants it to be over with.


 No.1030729

>>1030725

>Why do you think he's crying when he tells Manhatten to kill him?

He's just seen every surviving member of his fraternity turn decisively against truth and justice, and now one of them has come to kill him before he can make things right.

>>1030334

Years later the threat of a space squid invasion has humanity living in a hippy-dippy pacifist utopia. Eh? shouldn't they be training vast armies of soldiers-from-birth, building spaceports, experimenting with new space drives and ringing the Earth with geostationary satellites pointing millions of megatons out at… nothing? When intelligent aliens do happen upon the planet they'd think we were paranoid as fuck.


 No.1030815

>>1030810

That makes no sense. The threat of the giant alien space squid is to make humanity unite against a common enemy instead of killing each other. There wouldn't be a hippie utopia. It'd be a constantly prepared advanced civilization ready to blow any and all alien threats to high heaven.


 No.1030833

>>1030810

>hippy-dippy pacifist utopia.

That's not what's shown.

>building spaceports, experimenting with new space drives

The supposed alien manifested in the Institute for Extraspatial Studies. It didn't come down from outer space, it appeared to come from beyond space.

>>1030721

>bigger picture

We must avoid even just the possibility of a nuclear holocaust at any and all costs right?


 No.1030862

What's insulting is that he's supposed to the smartest guy alive, and apparently mass murder and a conspiracy of global proportions are the best course of action somehow. Only someone who faps to grimdark cliches could get behind that

Your "smartest man" is more of a plot device for the sake of some bullshit conspiracy so that this story of a tragic and hopeless world could have a tragic and hopeless ending.

Watchmen has some disturbing implications. A story written by a radical Leftist basically says that killing huge numbers of people is an acceptable price for utopia.


 No.1030935

It is. The world is overpopulated anyways.
