@TheNextAvrilLavigne The basic plotline is Rorschach searching for the Comedian's killer. But beneath that plotline there's so much more story to it that relates to what's going on in the world today. War, energy crisis, global warming. It shows you a new face to the superhero. How would being a hero change you as a person? And it forces you to make your own moral judgements. It doesn't just say 'Here's the villain, here's the hero. Let's watch the hero win.' Watch it again. It's worth it.

@jokrol324 but the story made no sense to me, one member dies, the group's retired, and the rest is flashback after flashback

Watchmen was even better than The Dark Knight, and that movie was so incredible it melted my face.
Both movies challenged the identity and role of the "superhero", but in different ways.

Once again, different minds have different ideas on what that is good, what that endangers people and what that can be considered "well-being". Opinions controll the whole perspective.
Besides, there are countless of possible scenarios in which the "goals" would clash with themselfs. Let´s say you had to hurt someone to stop someone else from getting hurt. Then no matter what you choose to do the goals would never be completely achived. There would be no "right" answer.

I never mentioned "society", that word's a distraction. Rather, people and their mutual well being. Any outside inhuman (alien) anthropologist would recognize the human tendency to form socially reinforced normative behaviors (ethics), is a behavioral trait with the function of enhancing mutual survival/well being. Anyone who bases their "morality" on something other than that is simply mistaken - that thing to which they adhere is not ethics, but something else. It is, by definition, UNethical.
