Hollywood makes the decision to remake the origin stories of Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man multiple times, but none of the braindeadtrust making the decisions can see the best opportunity to make the greatest origin story of all…Watchmen the beginnings.
In a year I see that ginger with the same ugly scowl, the same mean looking grimace, but just absolutely loving the shit outta living with these happy weird-ass little ponies.
Casting was great, acting was top-tier. Was not the correct character. Rorschach is supposed to be a transphobic, homophobic, racist, conspiracy theorist with delusions of self importance and disgust for the masses. It really sucks that they sanded the edges and most of the plot away, to make him a more likeable anti-hero.
It is disheartening that in a shot for shot adaptation, they chose the short-change the source material. No shade to the actor, he acted the shit out of that role. My issue was the choice to ignore how awful the entire point of the supers were. Feckless, Violent, Machiavellian, and vile reflections of the population, who were just as evil or inept as the population or criminals they stop, all of them. Rorschach was just "missing the point" of an otherwise larger missed target.

I grew up friends with his cousin. And by “cousin” I mean someone so close that he was once at the same family reunion.
I don’t have any stories. The cousin is cool, though.

Wait, so Dr. Manhattan transported him to an alternate dimension instead of disintegrating him? Interesting twist!

They could have done that back with the Doomsday Clock crossover event with the DC universe, but instead they just gave the mask to new person.

Honestly I'd feel bad for the villains of MLP. They'd have no idea what they're in for.

Fantastic performance in Watchmen.

Human Target?

TV series (2 seasons) about a hit man turned bodyguard, very loosely based on a DC comic. Haley played a supporting character named Guerrero.

Sounds interesting, I'm adding it to my list :-)

Uh, he was. He said several phobic things in his naration throughout the film. A clearly misanthropic individual.

Are you upset that his overt bigotry was not *more* overt?

If it was shot for shot, where was the time traveling space squidzilla?

criminally underrated performance i would even say.

Is it? Whether people liked or disliked the film, one of the most consistent praises I saw from both sides was how well cast Rorcharch was.
abtei
there can always be more tho :o

"how well cast..." Ok Mr boring compliments. Thanks for proving abtei right! /s

....what? If JEH gave a bad performance, everyone would say it was bad casting. How is a compliment translated to "underrated" in your mind?
