Someone Asked…
…so here we go.
One of my big problems with Watchmen is how stupidly the near-rape is handled. And it’s EPIC stupid.
It’s full of every dumbass cliche there is, and unfortunately, this was common in work of the time.
We have:
Slut Shaming, check.
Woman falls in love with her rapist, check.
Man who object to rape is only doing so because he’s gay, check.
Woman at least partly to blame for assault because of her clothes, check.
Man who rapes has oh-so tender spot for victim’s daughter (see? He’s not so bad, he’s just misunderstood!), check.
There are other issues, but if those scenes were in any other book, they would have gotten the loud raspberries they deserve. It’s just a bunch of gunk rape cliches, one after another.
I do like the book. But it’s not completely unproblematic.
Watchmen but Rorschach is voiced by Peter Serafinowicz doing his Tick voice.
Peter did it in this video and holy shit it works so well.
Patton Oswalt’s Epic ‘Star Wars’ Rant On ‘Parks and Recreation’
Parks and Recreation, a show about politics in a small U.S. town, often finds clever ways to parody various topical issues taking place in Washington D.C. Tomorrow’s episode is no different, as this time they’re taking a shot at much debated filibuster reform, and they’ve enlisted the help of Patton Oswalt to do so. Oswalt, playing the role of one of Pawnee’s many insane passionate citizens, goes on a completely improvised nerd rant in which he recites what he believes should be the plot of the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, including an aging Luke, Han and Leia crossing over into the Marvel film universe as they team up with the Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men and more to take on Thanos. Not all of the Avengers make it into Oswalt’s cut, as he’s replaced “second tier” characters Hawkeye and Black Widow with noted Marvel A-lister Moon Knight. Naturally.
You can see the full video above, and while this is obviously meant to be a joke, let us all pray to our respective deity’s that no executive at Disney ever hears this proposal.
