He was toyed with. @no point did it look like he was winning or even capable of winning. He put up a good fight against the walls & shit he shattered. That's about it. It wasn't a bad showing considering that Ozy simply can't be fuked with, but if Ozy wanted that fight to last 3 seconds, it would have. Beating up Ozy when Ozy was a young buck is good, but who's to say that Rorshach or Nite Owl couldn't have done the same? I'd like to see scans of the old fight or a mentioning of that fight too. I'd honestly love to see ANY scans of anything Watchmen. I'm REALLY into Watchmen after seeing the movie.
I disagree. Ozy was not toying with Comedian, Ozy isn't a villain. He was there for the sole purpose of killing Comedian to protect his goal. It's just like Ozy himself said in the final battle with Nightowl and Rorschach, he doesn't leave anything to chance, and toying with the Comedian is certainly taking a risk.
All that mattered to him was stopping nuclear war, whatever the cost. It's a bit disappointing to see the film portray Ozy as a darker character.
