why aren't you laughing?

>>151959259Probably the best answer ever
>>151959245Why was this guy even elevated to the rank of superhero?I mean, what can he even do?Kill people and tell bad jokes?
>>151959245Not laughing because he sucks, he's the worst hero. He's the only one who discovers Veidt's plans and has the resources to stop him, but for some reason the idea of the squid is too much for him after his lifetime of raping and murdering and he cracks up and does nothing. There are a lot of stupid plot contrivances in Watchmen but Blake being too horrified by the concept of Veidt's plan to do anything is arguably the stupidest.
I still don't really know the deal with that character. He seemed more like he was just a psycho asshole rather than there actually being any theming.I thought the intention was that he was destructively nihilistic, but his actual actions were just 'being a shithead' rather than actually in line with any philosophy. So was that just the idea? That people who are pessimistic are innately murderous shitheads? Doesn't seem like a very good commentary if so.
>>151960774yep
>>151959245>when they are laughing
Why did they attend his funeral? Dude was a rapist and murderer
>>151961204They were all murderers more than likely.
>>151960774A lot of golden age and pulp capes are literally just dudes who wear gimmicky costumes and beat people up, or dudes who carry guns and kill people (or beat them up). He was basically that, honestly based on his name i suppose his gimmick was being a bit of a wisecracker like Spiderman or Heckler.
>>151959245Yknow what? Maybe i should reread the comic again but i kept wondering what Mothman actually does? How come Dollar Bill gets his cape Mothman gets to live and go schizo while wearing giant fucking wings, does he glide with them?
