All of the character's "deals"(with the exception of laurie and dan) is that they're so lost in their respective ideologies that they pretty much completely destroy themselves. Rorschach's probably the most sympathetic because I think his perspective is closest to a normal person's gut reaction. Though obviously a nut, he's at least standing up to the untenably retarded positions of the other characters. It also helps that he's the main protagonist and the person who's perspective we see most of the story through.
It's funny actually, Rorschach was supposed to be a right wing nutter, who audience was supposed to hate for his radical utilitarian views. That's what Moore though it will go, yet he became the most popular and loved character
he's a dueontologist in a world of consequentialists
Well that's what happens when society only promotes reckless hedonism. People want to stand for something more even if it is a petty need
Comics aren't literature.
He's not a utilitarian, he's a deontologist. "Never compromise" is the credo of someone following an imperative.
Hes just a low rent tribute to the original comicbook superhero The Shadow.
Shadows background and philosophy is much better overall and watchmen is just hack faggotry
In the same way that not all books are literature, some comics are litetature.
na, comic books are comic books
