What do you think of the Comedian?

He's a defeatist or fatalist or something. But has fun anyways.

He was right

his jokes suck

>Is a rapist and a murderer
>live his young years happy with that
>someday he wakes up, he is almost 60, too old for this edgy things
>cries and get depressed, his only friend is the crazy man that was his arch-enemy.
>dies fucked and alone

Don't be edgy.

Probably one of the best written characters in fiction.

Everything he does in Watchmen has a purpose to his character, the characters around him, and the plot.

An added benefit is it's all very good.

It really is amazing how alive they made the character who gets killed on page one feel.

I really love Ozy's dissection of his personality at the end. And I think his character is a gripping exploration of someone who is disappointed in the lack of any kind of real, authentic judgement on his actions. He foils Rorschach well in this regard. Rorschach starts out as a good guy, sees the worst thing ever and loses hope of any concept of external, supernatural justice, so he decides to become his own brand of harsh justice.
The comedian also seems to have come to the conclusion that there is no external, authentic morality. But rather than try to correct this, like Kovacs, he comes to the conclusion that such an effort would be futile and objectively ridiculous. So he leans in. If the world is a fucked up place, be part of the fuckery, and you can live well and on your own terms. But it doesn't work. He thinks he's detached, and he thinks he's seem all of the horrors of man. And then Ozymandias shows him a whole literal new dimension of human horror. And by the time he dies he can no longer reject his suppressed sense of a great wrong being done.

Wonder if he'll be the third Joker

Intelligent, nihilistic, wicked sense of humor.

I don't think this is quite it. The Comedian isn't just out to get his slice of pie in a meaningless world, it's explicitly stated that rather he saw a cruel, meaningless world and decided to become a parody of it. That's the whole theme of his character: a good comedian's jokes make you realize something, the whole world is a joke, etc. etc.

My take is the Comedian thinks the world fucking sucks and his entire schtick is him trying to express that. In order to express that he decided to magnify the flaws of the world through his own character, in order to "parody" the world. In reality the Comedian hates the world and the state of things, as evidenced in his talk with Dr. Manhattan in Vietnam.

All true, I completely agree with what you said about him becoming a parody of the world.
