Does this apply to your view of "Watchmen" in general, or simply compared to Assange? (serious)

It's more that he's one of my favorite supervillains.

(Is his characterization different in the comic? I'm genuinely curious, because all I've heard about it makes me think that the only thing the movie changed was the ending - and even then not in a way that really affects its meaning.)

The change in the ending was as much a childhood killer as a popular culture event could be (as a young reader, I had impatiently skipped forward in the book, caught a glimpse of what was to come, and eagerly awaited finding out how; losing that source of wonder was crushing). That said, I'd agree that Veidt is great as a villain (with the caveat that Rorschach is one of my favorite masked heroes). The book is definitely worth reading and could probably be easily located in a library.

I definitely want to read it one day. I just hope I can still share my opinions on the story and characters before I do so. Tongue

Speaking of which, Rorschach is the worst.
