《守望者》 / Watchmen

《守望者》 / Watchmen appears in 01.麦田守望者：20世纪的美国贾宝玉 through the hosts’ comparison between 罗夏 and Holden Caulfield / 霍尔顿. The source uses the comparison to test what happens when Holden-like disgust toward social dirt becomes more rigid, violent, and absolutist.

The episode’s point is not that Watchmen directly retells 《麦田里的守望者》, but that Rorschach helps define the boundary around Holden. Holden is angry and purity-seeking, but he is also evasive, frightened, tender, and mostly nonviolent; Rorschach shows what the same refusal of compromise can look like when pushed into a hard vigilante ethic.
