Dude's rock

  Alan Moore talks about how he created Rorschach to be the most disgusting character imaginable. A total loser with no friends and a twisted view of the world.

  He says he’s tired of all the fan boys who come up to him and tell him how Rorschach is them!

    To be fair, Rorschach has a few traits worth emulating. He does have a rock solid sense of right and wrong and uhhhh… Yeah no, that’s about it.

      He’s also capable of backing his words up with actions. Although in the prison scene I guess the actions came first.

      Pretty sure the “you’re locked in here with me” vibe. is what all the fanboys envision themselves as, but would never actually be to emulate.

      I can’t remember the exact name, but there’s a common process with ongoing characters where the writers find themselves making their toughest characters nicer over time.

      Both Wolverine and Jack Reacher were presented as unapproachable loners at first, and both mellowed considerably over time.

      Rorschach was ‘lucky’ because he got to die a noble death before being forced to become civilized.

      As long as it is not informed by the white supremacist tabloid he was reading. Did you miss the parts where we read his thoughts about gay people or welfare queens (dogwhistle for black people)?

    In a similar vein, Grant Morrison on adult fans:

      Well the willing suspension of disbelief is adjusted based on the story being told. If you say there’s a made-up kingdom where animals talk in the exposition, that’s fine. But if you say it takes place in a world that’s basically our own, then one person can randomly shoot lasers from their eyes, you should give some explanation. It doesn’t even have to be a particularly good one, but even in-universe people would be asking about that.

      And well the joker isn’t an “anti-hero” he’s a straight up psychopath

  Since when did joker become an anti hero? He’s the chaotic evil to Batman’s chaotic good.

  source

  • yermaw@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I always took anti hero to mean bad protagonist. Like in any normal story they’re almost definitely the villain, but the story follows them as the main character so we see the world through their eyes.

    With this in mind i guess joker became anti hero when he got his own movie

      That seems way to general. I wouldn’t label Tony Montana or Walter White anti heros.

    I thought Batman was just lawful. He serves the interests of the rich and works with the cops.

      Beating the absolute shit out of people isn’t lawful.

  Yeah, I dunno about that. “Anti-hero” is a pretty big trope, not at all limited to mentally ill characters.

    Its a big list, but most have at least severe, untreated PTSD.

  The “joker” trope from batman is very USA centered too, we don’t have that very much in Europe, or so U feel.
