Who watches 'The Watchmen'? Maybe fujoshi

13.04.2009 by Patrick W. Galbraith

Went to see "The Watchmen," and despite the blue wang and overly emotional Rorschach (he screams in anger, and also sniffs went he gets capped in the end...), I actually did like it. For one thing, it like the original presents a good view of the possible social and political problems with really having superheroes around. For another, many of the characters match moe elements, especially yaoi. Behold:


Dr. Manhattan / Jon Osterman: Robot, alien, superpowers, tsundere

Ozymandias / Adrian Veidt: Grand king (teiou), intelligent and conciented (gyakugire yuutousei), kichiku (like a BL seme)

Rorschach / Walter Kovacs: Detective, quiet but burning passion, close relationship with Nite Owl II reads like seme/uke

Nite Owl II / Dan Dreiberg: Hetare (loser), glasses, close relationship with Rorschach reads like uke/seme (you know Rorschach punks him)

The Comedian / Edward Blake: Strong man (bara?), rape, secret father

Laurie Jupiter / Silk Spectre II: Bitch (can this be moe? Maybe not...), mated by multiple tentecle-like Dr. Manhattan hands


Those last two characters are suspect, I admit, but the rest stand. Mark my words, their will be yaoi doujinshi based on this film at Comike.
