Requested by a friend. Topic: Why did Edward said "It's a joke. It's all a joke. Mother forgive me"?
I always just interperted it as a comment on the irony in Veidt's plan. The fact that he is trying to save the world by destroying it and tricking humanity, the types of things he used to fight against.
@DominionOfTheSword Comedian fiured out Ozymandias's plan to destroy millions of people and although he knew it would be terrible, be also understood that it was necessary, that without it the whole of the Earth would be doomed to nuclear war, killing everyone. Thats what made him so distraught, knowing that millions had to die(or at least would die). Ozy killed him because he had already tried to tell Moloch(but was so broken by then he didn't make sense)and was worried he would tell the others
@GothicPredalienWolf I interpreted it that the Comedian wasn't distraught because millions would die--but because the world was going to be saved from nuclear holocaust. The Comedian had used the world's impending doom as his whole philosophy, and his justification for how he lived, why he thought he could kill innocent people. But now that he knew the world WASN'T doomed, he was horrified--he wasn't justified at all, and it destroyed him. But I could be wrong, been two years since read it.
@Megaritz I can see where you're coming from, Comedian WAS a psycho after all. But I think that although he did kill however many people, innocent or not, he was doing it for America, and the fact that even though he fought for his country, it didn't affect the fact that they would all be exterminated, and that there was nothing he could do about it, all his fighting was for nothing.
@Megaritz But then again he might never of cared about an overall good, since he was crazy. I don't know, that's just my opinion. I guess you'll have to ask Alan Moore.
the actions sence in this movie is what made this movie a commandy wrether than a thoughtful stry.+ the story of the movie take sides with who is right or worng, but in the comic put out the window such things like good and evil
The Comedian's name was meant as ironic because he was cynical, sociopathic, brutish, and just plain ruthless
so when he said its all a joke, he meant that everything is pretty fucked up, and everything he did was fucked up, even for his standards and he says mother help me because if you were a cynical government assassin whos been in war, im sure you would be an atheist to
but of course i could be wrong, this is just my personal analysis
Interestingly in the comic the fight is nothing like this intricate. Basically Ozymandias kicks in the door, gives the Comedian a pasting and chucks him out the window. He doesn't really fight back, and I think this is meant to be down to the fact that by this point in the story he's a broken man. He's learnt the extent of Ozymandias' scheme and is mentally and emotionally messed up. It's not just because he's older or out of shape that he loses; he's basically given up.
@vandimar77 yep...in the comic he is literally crying at Morloc's bedside...and Ozy's plan was much more sinister in the comic book. He was faking a interdimensional invasion. The Comedian found out about it on his way back from a mission when he discovered the island the researchers were at.
@edithlegacy fuck masons..... this guy knew everymove cause he invented every move.... he probably wrote the 3rd degree himself.... masons think they know their history,,,,only the history that has been written for them to BELIEVE
How come the comedian was in the Minutemen/Watchmen group in the 1940's and then was a member of the current Watchmen like 10 years before this fight but got so old now? All the other heroes aged a little bit, they aged the Comedian too much for this fight but no enough before in my opinion. How old was The Comedian supposed to be anyways? How about Ozymandias age?
Minutemen was in the late 1930´s, Comedian being born in 1924 (GN age), the never formed Crimebusters was attempted in 1966 (the films Watchmen meeting), then they operated as non-named Watchmen from -66´to -77 when the Keene Act was put in order. The Watchmen is in the fall of -85. So Comedian was not that old in - 66 or -77. Ozymandias is born in 1939.
@Sarizman So the picture in the opening of the movie that said 1940 was not really 1940 then!? Otherwise the comedian would have been 16 even though he looked at least 30!!!
The movie did a change regarding Comedians age. In the comic book he was born in 1924 while in the movie he was born in 1918 IIRC. That was because they (the filmmakers) didn´t think that Jeffrey Dean Morgan could pose as a teenager in Sally´s flashback scene. The movies photoshot year, 1940, was still correct though.
@Sarizman Even if The Comedian was born in 1918 in the movie he still didn't look 22 in the 1940 picture, he looked in his early 30's easy. But it's a movie so what the hell, The Comedian Forever!
I didn't know that the Comedian taxed Ozymandias back in the day. Makes me want to read the novel now. Never was much into The Watch Men but the movie made me interested. I notice how when the Comedian is talking to Adrian, that Adrian didn't really look at the Comedian, like a sign of a lil pressure and resentment.
Im sure ozzy won cos he got some upgrades,having the speed to catch a bullet and all gave him a huge advantage over comedian.proly when veidt was younger he wasnt that fast and proly not so strong also.
I still remember watching this movie with my friends. We were in the theatre, and when the smiley button fell, he went. "There goes the best damn Walmart Greeter ever."
He was talking about the Watchmen/Minutemen, referring to what he had said earlier about the world coming to an end due to nuclear war, and how there was nothing they could do to stop it. He was basically repeating what he said in the "Smartest man on the cinder" speech.
he says it's all a joke because he knows that what adrian is planning, he also says mother forgive me because at this point in his life he relises all the horrible things he has done in his life, i.e killing kids in vietnam.
The whole movie's a joke because Rorschach put in his journal who was behind everything. The world won't rally against Manhatten, but against themselves again. That's the real joke.
is it me or is the sound off key to the video? if you dont know what i mean look when he says "its a joke its all a joke" or the noise pops up before he kicks door then the door bursts open
Funny. They keep claiming that Dr. Manhatten only has super powers, yet all the other heroes have superhuman strength for some reason. I mean how the hell can Viedt do all that combat shit? Hell, how is Viedt even the strongest in the first place? They never explained that.
the comedian was the greatest hand to hand fighter in the watchmen universe, the only reason he lost this one was because of his older age. He wouldve owned poor old Ozy if he was in his prime.
Btw I love the line he uses to own Ozy later in the book. "Yeah but it takes a room full of morons to think youre big enough to handle them" BEST LINE IN THE BOOK! HAHA
@macree01 I'm not so sure I agree. I've also read the book. (glorious). But, it seems as though throughout most of the story ozymandias is given that title (best figher), aside from Jon of course. "Used to joke he could catch a bullet" etc. I think even in the comedian's prime (bare in mind the comedian is easily my favourite character), I think Ozy may still have had the upper hand. Anyway, there's my opinion.
it's a joke...it's all a joke. mother, forgive me..."
It's "Why did Edward say" NOT "Why did Edward said"! If your going to post a video, I would think that you'd check the spelling and grammar! I have OCD and stuff like that really gets on my tits!! Nice video by the way.
wow they did such a good job making a non-corny adult superhero action movie...It is a work of artm i hate when people say "oh that movie was alright"...no..it was amazing
So Ozzy DID killed him?? When I first saw this I thought the same, but later I thought I heard somewhere in the film that it was Moloch who killed the Comedian after Ozzy hired him. In the scene you can see his face a bit too, right? Anyway, this is what I thought...
@IRESSIVOR. Veidt enhanced himself, which explains why he was the flawless victo in the fight. But I must say...HE BEAT THE COMEDIAN'S ASS! I've seen my fair share of ass whoopings but that shit was B to the R to the UTAL!
Ok, does ANYONE else notice the huge penis sculpture to the left side of Blake's television?? Hard to see on this vid, but if you have the DVD, or better yet, Blu-ray, that's definitely what it is.
the song in the background was all from a commercial playing on his tv? he shot the tv? and even if the sound was still working on his tv somehow that's one long commercial?
Yes, the commercial was filmed exclusively for the movie as it appears on TV in the graphic novel; additionally, the MTV commercial was included in the movie but is not in the original graphic novel - it's simply a reference to the times as MTV was relatively new and upcoming at the time the graphic novel is set. The movie did remain remarkably tight to the original novel, apart from a few parts missed out due to time constraints and the ending of the movie too.
@StrawberrySheffields It was Captain Metropolis's chart in the book. I kinda miss how genuinely upset Metropolis was in the book ("My chart! D:") Blake still chewed Adrian out pretty good, both book and movie during that scene, 'smartest man on the cinder' and such. Plus in the book it mentions Blake beat up Adrian when both were younger after mistaking him for a supercriminal, and Veidt never let that down.
I believe it's mentioned in the graphic novel that Ozymandias actually lost his first fight with the Comedian back in their crime-busting days. By this time, of course, Veidt has trained himself to such a level of perfection that no one can even touch him. Excluding Dr. Manhattan, he's as strong as any three of the Watchmen combined.
In the novel it was stated in his prime no one could take a clean punch from Comedian and not be seeing stars. In their first fight Ozy was winning, but Comedian decked his ass, and put him to sleep.
Even at 67 you see that his power punches crush concrete, I believe if either landed they would've knocked Ozy out. Everyone was scared of fighting Eddy which was why he got away with being a dick for so long.
Ozy studied him, and was in better shape in this fight.
They said the Comedian was the best hand to hand fighter of all time. In his youth he actually defeated a young Veidt and he always had a secret resentment for The Comedian because of it though he deeply respected him. Of course, that was in The Comedians prime, now Veidt's in his. That's one of the reasons Veidt had to assassinate him - he was the only uncontrollable variable.
Well, that and because he found out the plan in the novel.
@BigMac8000 According to the book, Veidt did tell him. And even in the movie, Veidt said, "Who would've thought he [Blake] would have a change of heart?"
True, though even then, if this scene isn't the definition of curbstomp battle, I don't know what is. The backround music just seems to make the beatdown even worse,too.
@mailedbypostman I believe in the novel it was hinted that the Comedian beat Ozymandias in a previous exchange. I can't remember - it's been a while, but yeah. Comedian got old, and so he lost this time.
@THEVIDEOARBITRATOR Neither is his intellect which is his brain power, which he uses as his power, he see's what they'll do just through muscle movements, his speeds due to his body control, his power, body control.
The problem with that notion is that intellect is different from perception through the eyes. His eyes ware not controlled through his intellect. He would need super-sight in order to see their muscle movements and predict where they are going to go.
His body control and his speed is attributable to the nervous system and the muscular system, these two body systems have to be meta-human, Batman level if he can compete with two great fighters at once.
bad ass beat down. also, maybe someone already pointed this out but at the start of the fight, when comedian throws his mug and misses, it hits his door number and knocked off the 1. making it room 300.
Although Ozzy messes up Comedian something awful in this scene it's told in the GN how his single defeat is at the hands of eddie years earlier. This was something Ozzy never got over. he's a senior citizen at this point. Give the comedian a break here kids!
I think he realized that Ozymandias was going to kill him, Comedian liked fighting, and i guess he decided that he didn't want to go out without a fight, but knew he would go out, so it was kind of like having his one last great fight before the end, he was kind of enjoying it
'Mother forgive me' was in another scene in the GN, when he goes to see Moloch. He's basically having a breakdown about Adrian's plot; he thought he knew how savage humans are, but he never imagined it could be that bad. The joke doesnt seem so funny anymore :(
@Yehbytheway Yeah, but with a blade pointing upwards, you have more options to attack with.
It depends on what you want to do, attack, or defend.
Real knife fighting, though, is based around the knife pointing downwards, not because its easier to block, but because it puts a barrier, your arms, in the way of your chest and throat.
I think he says the line because it's something he says later on the novel (when he's talking to the former Moloch about Ozzy's grand scheme) and they decided to introduce it earlier.

I don't think it's a commercial, I think it was part of a movie or something.

@roymaster45
Yes, the commercial was filmed exclusively for the movie as it appears on TV in the graphic novel; additionally, the MTV commercial was included in the movie but is not in the original graphic novel - it's simply a reference to the times as MTV was relatively new and upcoming at the time the graphic novel is set. The movie did remain remarkably tight to the original novel, apart from a few parts missed out due to time constraints and the ending of the movie too.

@StrawberrySheffields It was Captain Metropolis's chart in the book. I kinda miss how genuinely upset Metropolis was in the book ("My chart! D:") Blake still chewed Adrian out pretty good, both book and movie during that scene, 'smartest man on the cinder' and such. Plus in the book it mentions Blake beat up Adrian when both were younger after mistaking him for a supercriminal, and Veidt never let that down.

joacopela95 2 years ago
I believe it's mentioned in the graphic novel that Ozymandias actually lost his first fight with the Comedian back in their crime-busting days. By this time, of course, Veidt has trained himself to such a level of perfection that no one can even touch him. Excluding Dr. Manhattan, he's as strong as any three of the Watchmen combined.

In the novel it was stated in his prime no one could take a clean punch from Comedian and not be seeing stars. In their first fight Ozy was winning, but Comedian decked his ass, and put him to sleep.
Even at 67 you see that his power punches crush concrete, I believe if either landed they would've knocked Ozy out. Everyone was scared of fighting Eddy which was why he got away with being a dick for so long.
Ozy studied him, and was in better shape in this fight.

They said the Comedian was the best hand to hand fighter of all time. In his youth he actually defeated a young Veidt and he always had a secret resentment for The Comedian because of it though he deeply respected him. Of course, that was in The Comedians prime, now Veidt's in his. That's one of the reasons Veidt had to assassinate him - he was the only uncontrollable variable.
Well, that and because he found out the plan in the novel.

That's the problem, he is too fast. In the last fight he took two great fighters at one time and when the Nite Owl punched him he wasn't hurt.
His pain tolerance and invulnerability is not human.
THEVIDEOARBITRATOR 2 years ago 2
@THEVIDEOARBITRATOR Neither is his intellect which is his brain power, which he uses as his power, he see's what they'll do just through muscle movements, his speeds due to his body control, his power, body control.
kiddante2 2 years ago
The problem with that notion is that intellect is different from perception through the eyes. His eyes ware not controlled through his intellect. He would need super-sight in order to see their muscle movements and predict where they are going to go.
His body control and his speed is attributable to the nervous system and the muscular system, these two body systems have to be meta-human, Batman level if he can compete with two great fighters at once.

There are two bad things wrong with this film the fight action and the bad ending.
Thats my opinion but don't tell the fanboys they dont believe in free speech.

Although Ozzy messes up Comedian something awful in this scene it's told in the GN how his single defeat is at the hands of eddie years earlier. This was something Ozzy never got over. he's a senior citizen at this point. Give the comedian a break here kids!

I think he realized that Ozymandias was going to kill him, Comedian liked fighting, and i guess he decided that he didn't want to go out without a fight, but knew he would go out, so it was kind of like having his one last great fight before the end, he was kind of enjoying it

'Mother forgive me' was in another scene in the GN, when he goes to see Moloch. He's basically having a breakdown about Adrian's plot; he thought he knew how savage humans are, but he never imagined it could be that bad. The joke doesnt seem so funny anymore :(

It wasn't the brutality of Adrian's plot that broke him, it was the *optimism* of it. What comedian survives the death of cynicism?
No room for Blake in Ozy's Church of Lateral Day Saints.

Should have held the knife with the blade pointing downwards,it's harder to block.

elmerOzo 2 years ago
@Yehbytheway Yeah, but with a blade pointing upwards, you have more options to attack with.
It depends on what you want to do, attack, or defend.
Real knife fighting, though, is based around the knife pointing downwards, not because its easier to block, but because it puts a barrier, your arms, in the way of your chest and throat.
