Marvel Cinematic Universe

Yeah, it's really weird how people seem to admire Rorschach but it makes sense with how some people think today. Obviously as Mola says you slowly back away before they start to say "we live in a society".

I suppose it's only the same as people that have tattoos of serial killers and, uh, I know a couple of them. Or even the Comedian's smiley face.

Wasn't Vader the best part of 7'?...

I wonder how many times they got "little short for a sith, aren't you?"

Dave Prowse was 6'6.

This guy was 5'4 at a push.

Maybe that was the joke...

It was almost as funny. Not quite, but almost.

Imagine if we had got McG's Superman with Josh Hartnett and Abram's script including Superman Kung Fu, Lex Luthor as a Kryptonian and a liquid superman costume in a can.

I remember Affleck being in the running and thinking he would have been an interesting choice. All of them would have been interesting, to be fair. I think I'd have preferred most of them...

It's definitely different from Darth Vader, because Vader isn't associated with any specific attitude (the Sith shit associated with him as vague as hell). He doesn't really have much of a philosophy, he's just Palpatine's errand boy until he isn't. I might think someone with a Vader tattoo was thus shallow, but not like, a problem. He's also at least an actual badass at times, and people with tattooes of badasses, tend not be as awful as people with tattooes of losers, in my experience. Dumb, but not necessarily awful.

Joker it depends entirely on which Joker. BTAS Joker? Who cares, it's probably someone who likes the aesthetic (which is strong). Same with Nicholson. Jared Leto or Joaquin Phoenix joker? UH OH. That's like six red flags at once. Seven if it's Phoenix. There's obviously a very specific antisocial/sociopathic/shitbird attitude associated with those latter-day Jokers.

Rorshach? If recent Joker is 7 red flags, that's like 10+. The only comics thing immediately worse would be a Punisher skull with the thin blue line/black and white US flag in it. Rorshach is a terrible embarrassing piece of shit, with horrific attitudes, severe mental illness, and he's also pathetic and sad, so like, not only is that person associating themselves with a severely mentally-ill ultra-misogynist serial-murderer, he's associating himself with a really low-status and uncool one, which like, I hate to use the word "yikes", but jesus wept that's maximum "YIKES".

There's no question it's different. I mean, just think about the people you've met who liked Rorschach, and compare and contrast against those who liked some form of The Joker or Darth Vader. They're in a whole other category of awful. Liking him is different from suggesting he might, largely by accident, have been trying to do the right thing at the end of Watchmen.

Haaaaaaaahhh... When I was a young warthog I very nearly got a Punisher skull tattoo (I was very much obsessed with punishing) so I should recuse myself from this.

What would be your opinion on someone with a Flaming Carrot tattoo? Uhm, asking for a friend

How about Cerebus the Aardvark?


That was cool, and then it really really wasn't.

Is it better or worse than summit tribal?

The only comic book tattoo I'd get is an Autobot symbol.
