One of the things I love about this scene is the display of how much in-story theater occurs between all of the characters. Here, we see that the comedian was perfectly capable killing Moloch at will as he could locate him and access his sleeping area undetected, but elects only to precisely locate and interact with him during a moment of personal revelation and disclosure. The comedian saying that Moloch was the closest thing he had to a friend just kind of seals the concept of this sort of interplay.

The Comedian knew that deep down he probably had more in common with Molloch, a villain, than with the others (besides maybe Rorschach, but he just looked at him like any other lunatic). Kinda like the dynamic with Batman and Joker. They are archenemies, but they both subconciously feel "completed" by the other, like yin and yang, and that killing the other would leave a big hole in their lives.

Nonetheless, some officer found the area and burned it despite Comedian telling him about the Woman and Child living there, and the Comedian tried go back in to rescue the people, however, only the woman survived, who then got killed by the officer. The Comedian then went apeshit and quietly killed the officer and the soldiers that burned the area later that night.

"Here I am spilling my guts to one of my arch enemies! The truth is, you're the closest thing to a friend I got. What the fuck does that say?" I think this speaks out as the Comedian considering himself a villain just as Molach because of all the bad things that he has done. In other words they are not so different. The only reason why he considers Molach a friend is the fact that he is a villain and was real about it. Whereas those that the Comedian works with claim to be heroes are actually the real villains. Hence "It was all a joke."
@CopiousDoinksLLC Жыл бұрын
The reason the Comedian saw Moloch as a friend was because he recognized the common thread between the two of them - self interest. Whereas Moloch was open about his intentions to serve his own interests as a 'villain' in the past, the Comedian chose to pretend that he served America or some abstract notion of justice in order to serve his own need for bloodshed and violence. The Comedian simply realized that he was no better than any of the people he was hunting and Moloch was one of the few hunted that still existed.

Some people are saying that the Comedian is upset because if Veidt's plan works than he'll be held to account for all the wrong he's done. I don't think that that's it at all. All this time the comedian's been taking life as a joke so as to hide from the pain he feels in living in such a harsh world. This isn't to excuse the atrocities he's committed as in the end he wound up as part of the problem. Veidt's plan broke him because in that moment it was, to him, sheer concrete evidence of just how Nihilistic the world really is and in the end he couldn't take it anymore. It was never the world he wanted to be in and he was left with the realization that he was nothing but a sad, pathetic and immoral wreck of a human being. The punchline is that the Comedian died attempting to be a Whistleblower. The type of person he would routinely kill for the US government for the sake of the "greater good".

[SPOILER] He knew of Veidt's plan to safe the world and the terrible cost. Even though he tried to see the world as a joke, the idea of millions of people dying was shocking to him. But he knew that a nuclear holocaust was imminent because of the escalating cold war and Veidt's plan was mankind's best shot at peace. The strain of knowing that a lot of innocent people were going to die, but not being able to act upon it for moral reasons was too much. Even for a cynical man like him. You could also argue that hope broke him. The comedian was the man he was because he believed that mankind would blow up the planet during his life time. A lot of people sincerely believed this during the cold war, and not without reason. Everyone was dead already in his eyes, so his cruelty didn't matter. Hell was coming anyway, his actions were small compared to that. Veidt offered hope, however. The comedian really believed that he had a chance at saving the world. This maybe sparked his conscience back to life. How was it fair to deny millions of people that new peacefull world by sacrificing them? With a chance at a future, he could no longer justify cruelties like this to himself. But he could not stop Veidt or he would condemn the enterity of mankind. His rekindled hope and conscience weighed down so heavily on him that he simply broke down.

When you've fought in one history's most unspeakably gruesome wars and have the government connections to understand the stakes of the inevitable nuclear disaster at hand, putting on a costume and ganging up on another guy in a costume that commits petty crimes seems kinda pointless.

The "it's all a joke" line doesn't hold as much water in the movie, what with the ending changed so drastically. The idea of launching a squid to kill half of New York sounds so ridiculous, like the end of some Ray Bradbury story, that it has to be a joke. The fact that it isn't completely breaks Eddie as a person. But, by replacing the squid with a giant laser beam, the "joke" isn't nearly as "funny", so to say.

Imagine A-Train visiting Hughie and spilling his guts like this in The Boys. S4 Spoilers: After the whole arc he’s been through, and being estranged by his brother and nephews, Hughie and Annie might be the closest things he has to friends. We already see him helping the two out more than usual in the last couple of episodes. M&M even thinks they can get him to defect to their side.

It's not just the plan it's the fact that he is the one who put that idea in Ozymandias head. He pointed out to Ozy that the crime busts they were doing were pointless because humans horrible nature will likely lead to nuclear destruction when you look at the big picture. In the movie it's that scene when he tells Ozy after the nukes fall he will be the smartest man on the cinder. He is not just shattered by the plan he is shattered because he feels personally responsible for what was about to happen to a lot of totally innocent people all because he accidently steered Ozy into the direction of such a drastic plan.

Many good comicbooks, in both companies. What blew me away, some ears ago, was the story of Spiderman, in Spider-Man: Reign. I am sad when people insist comparing DC with Marvel and find one of those two lacking. They have good moments. And they had very bad moments. But those good moments are.. breathtaking.

“American love; like coke in green glass bottles, they don't make it anymore” Perhaps not, but that hasn't prevented me from drinking a few bottles of coke on green bottles. My grandmother had bought a bottle crate for Christmas one year. Raspberry flavor, coke and orange and so on. And a few glass bottles of 7up, all of them green. Due to a mistake, the green bottles were filled with coke instead of 7up (Guess it could be worse, one guy drank from a beer bottle filled with lye). The moral is; if coke on green bottles are still possible, then so is American love (assuming Rorschach/Moore is correct about his claims).

From what precious-few 'interviews' one can find here on youtube (with Matt Frewer) it leaves me wincing to see him (and yes, I know it HAD to have been a stunt-man) bashed-around like that, because he is literally the LAST character-actor I'd want to see physically-assaulted...this DESPITE how Moloch was 'supposedly' an 'arch-enemy' of the Comedian...if you know Matt, you can't envision him doing 'bad things'...but...I am grateful Snyder pulled Frewer into this movie, because (for me) it certainly worked on MULTIPLE-levels. I don't care what the nay-sayers complain about...I feel 'The Watchmen' is one of THE most under-rated movies, in the last few-decades...and it's a shame.

I know he’s had a particularly old age but you’re all forgetting the guy was a super villain in his youth plus he was enemies with the comedian and Dr. Manhattan. I don’t see why you should show some sympathy for him. I never seen sympathy been given druglords that look like they’re about to die in their old age, so why should people give sympathy for all the villains?

Because the people on the list are personally connected to Manhattan, Ozzy knew Manhattan finding out about the cancer would break him and cause him to leave Earth. This would then allow Ozzy to set up his bombing plot, and Dr. Manhattan’s outburst at the interview and consequent exile would back it up
