Squid WILL NOT be in my edit. It's impossible to do.

I don't have a problem with the new ending.

Rorschach's mask is fine, and will stay as is.

END OF DISCUSSION IN THIS THREAD ON THOSE POINTS. Jesus.

If you want to start an argument about the merits of the novel-to-film changes, start a new fucking thread. Nothing's going to be exactly the same when you adapt something from one medium to another, and you shouldn't expect it to. I'm not doing this edit to make it exactly like the novel, just more in the spirit of the novel in the areas where I thought the film just didn't work.

--edit--

Sorry for the grumpiness, it's 2AM here and I'm tired. I didn't expect to see one new post here, let alone 15 that amount to arguing over something I've already discussed earlier in the thread.
