If you call what you read an outright lie to create a gap, you can fill it with anything. I look at author intent with themes and character arcs. If your theory brings you pleasure, great. It doesn’t hold water with me.

I’ll keep this brief since you’ve read the comic - Larry moved to California with Sally and Laurie while Hooded Justice was still fighting crime in New York.

Yeah, this Hooded Justice theory doesn’t quite make sense to me although I agree that Hollis Mason is unreliable. But I actually think almost all the characters in Watchmen are unreliable and you have to treat the story like Rashamon.

My favorite moment is Robocop’s cameo to turn off the electricity and help Dr Doom.

Thank you. I do love cats. Next time I’ll ask folks to share photos.
