^ Funny how the punched guy looks like you, but the puncher doesn't look like Jester

And in an attempt to keep on topic --> Whatever happened to The Veidt Method ? he would've made some great discussion in this topic !

Then again, I thought "Tales Of The Black Freighter" was just a creative exercise, Moore did wonder what comics would be if real superheroes were an every day sight.

The bit with the sharks and also the imagery in a couple of frames are straightforward references to veidt's story.

the shark is meant to apparently represent rorschach or something, like the description of the shark also matches rorschach as well, idk.

The sharks are the whole gang coming to karnak. So yeah, one is meant to be rorschach.
Get bnb or vynson to explain that sorta stuff though.

V.20.3-6

The "neither black nor wholly white" line could easily refer to Rorschach, but I think that this shark in particular is actually a symbol of both the Comedian and Rorschach. Just watch.

The Comedian got tangled up in Veidt's plot. Afraid that Blake would ruin everything, Veidt killed him.

The first part may reference Rorschach. The second part could be an interesting comment on what was going through the respective heads of Veidt and Blake at the time.

In panel 20, we see that the shark's blood is forming a distinct arrow of blood. In V.21.7, the 11 o'clock bloody arrow is clearly visible. The Comedian's murder was the creation of the bloody arrow and since Rorschach himself ended up as a giant bloody arrow.

I think this is enough to establish that this shark represents the two heroes who learned of Veidt's plot and were killed so that it would succeed.

I'll be right back. I gotta go see a man about a mule.

That's a great Idea!
I'm totally obsessed with Rorschach so I hated Adrian the virst time I saw the movie....
But in time I understood that he did what he thought was necesarry.....but besides the so called God Complex, I'm not sure if he thought this would end war as it is or just end the thought of a nuclear war at the time?

'Cus he sure understood that self-destruction is human nature....so he therefor just wanted to postpone it.

And I'm sure as hell that there were other ways to do that.
Though I don't see them.

All of them in different mesure have the HERO complex...they feel like they have a duty to other people duty to use their potencials completely.
And his potentials are amazing, bigger than anyone else's.....so imagine what pain it brings him to accept that there's nothing he can do when the world around you is falling apart.
Like Rorschach did, in a way.He gave up on humanity.

We are simple folk, we can't really do much if we wanted to.
He can.

That's not easy to live with.
And not reasonable to condemn.
