One More Thing Also I dont want to constantly compare the Charlton guys to Watchmen but it is kind of inevitable considering Everything, and I think the main difference between Rorschach and Question and the reason 80s Question is Gritty But Good is that Vic is curious and Walter is paranoid. Vic genuinely wants to know things and this is also a huge flaw of his but it makes him intrinsically different from Rorschach, who doesnt ACTUALLY want to learn anything. He just wants what he already believes to be confirmed. Thats why hes a conspiracy theorist and a right-wing bigot but Vic’s a news reporter and explicitly left leaning and anti-bigotry. Vic wants the truth, Walter wants to be right

#Also obviously this is why Rorschach loses and then dies but we all know that #Sorry thinking about what good characters these guys are. Rorschach good in the 'well written bastard' sense obviously #I just finished Question Quarterly so from what I understand all thats left of Denny O'Neil Question is like side appearances #And then Im gonna read the Lemire run because it looks extremely interesting and its JEFF my best friend JEFF #Rorschach is such a good fucking portrayal of right-wing shitstains like its insane how Relevant he still is for a character written in-#-like 1987. And again Vic rules #I love Vic's character development from right-leaning Ayn Rand bastard to like Decent Person being a in universe thing too #Thinking he knows everything and then accepting he really doesnt
