2 months agoMost of the heroes side with him, which I think was the question. In terms of what the reader is supposed to think, that's of course an opinion formed. For what it's worth, the author Alan Moore apparently hates Rorschach, the one hero who does not side with Ozymandias. Moore is an eccentric though.
Yeah that's a good analysis and I didn't mean to say I think Rorschach is right or good, but I do like him in that he's an interesting characters as are others. The "technically right" part of OP's question is open to some interpretation I guess since Ozymandias is successful in his plot despite it being evil. I mean, the premise here is that a villain is right so it's tricky to say they're doing something "correct", but actually still a villain. He's successful. His plan works at least up until the end of the written story and the protagonists agree with him (mostly). Oh man, mentioning Watchmen opens a can of worms!
