Who was right, Rorshach or Ozymandias?

Ozymandias. Rorschach should have "hurmed" before interrupting his dinner.

Both. Which is really the point, that both are defendable positions.

Ultimately the Comedian had the best philosophy. Just a shame he was a rapist.
Veidt's savior complex will be his undoing, eventually.
Rorschach's worldview was childish and stunted, fitting for an objectivist.

I hate to admit, but I also hate when people try to murder me during meals, its the worst

What do you think about Nite Owl?

no one.

If you believe Ozymandias was right, you're okay with killing several million people and lying to the entire world to trick it into peace.

If you believe Rorschach was right, you believe that Ozymandias's scheme should be revealed to the world in the name of justice, even if it means sending the world back to the brink of nuclear holocaust.

Dan is literally the only decent person.

Dan fucks his friends long-term partner without thinking twice. Manhattan actually has a reason for his emotional detachment. Everyone else is just an asshole.

Rorshach may not have been right but Ozy was definitely wrong. Cold War Nuclear paranoia dissipates and even seems quaint with the benefit of hindsight. MAD was not a realistic scenario in any case as the ultimate goal of warfare is the taking or defending of resources, and total nuclear annihilation only serves to destroy resources
Ozymandias bought into the Cold War boogeyman hook, line and sinker. He assumed that the military leaders of the world were not as rational as him, he assumed they would act solely to destroy. When in reality they have a greater stake in the continued existence of the planet than him.

>If you believe Ozymandias was right, you're okay with killing several million people and lying to the entire world to trick it into peace.
So yeah, Ozymandias was right?

Ozymandias did nothing wrong

Neither
Ozy's was plan fucked up because he never considered Rorschach spreading the news
Rorschach was wrong because of his black and white view of humanity

Dan was just a sexually frustated NEET who only saved people as part of his sexual roleplay to fuck Laurie. He was far from a decent person.

Wasn't Laurie forced into being a hero because of her whore of a mother? I feel like its a justified reason to be an asshole but why did she forgive her mom in the end?

> Ozy was wrong
There's a debate as to whether his actions were morally justifiable, but the premise of the story is his actions did lead directly to peace.

peace is always temporary, nothing ever ends, as said directly from Manhatten.

She spent, what, a decade away from drom being a hero before the events of Watchmen. In all that time, she didn't do anything apart from banging god. Didn't retrain, get a job, make friends. Just a decade on her back.

We don't know that do we, is he going to send the "Aliens" every time there is a rise in tension? what happens after he dies?

that was the point Manhattan made, nothing ever ends.

there are two outcomes.

either everyone is as dumb as Veidt said they were and they are fucked once he dies or everyone simply forgets the danger.

or they are smarter than he thinks and they never needed his genocidal assistance.

As Dr Manhattan said "It never ends". So they'll probably continue to be problems.

Bingo.

He was a naive man child too. Just living out his dreams until he realizes what he's gotten into.
