Entertaining Interpretations of Watchmen from the Internet

Here are some interesting and entertaining links that I've found on the internet. I promise...no rickrolls in this one.

(Some of these contains some spoilers, so you might not get some of the jokes until you finish the novel.)

Here is a webcomic, in which the cast of Watchmen have been replaced with newspaper comic characters:

Here's an animated trailer for Saturday Morning Watchmen, a parody, almost akin to the intro of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from when we were kids. I love some of the irony. "Rorschach's friends to the animals!"

Thoughts on Anton Chigurh

I think the question was raised and not answered as to whether a character such as Anton Chigurh, who society would regard as evil could have and strongly abide a personal code even though his actions clearly violate the laws of society (murder, etc.). Comparisons were made between Chigurh and both Heath Ledger's Joker and Hannibal. Chigurh's character, as well as the others mentioned happens to be my favorite in literature: the uncompromising villain. They do tend to have the flat aspect, more as a force like a fire or a plague than a being.
