No, definitely; I get that. Used to teach film history, so I've seen it a hundred times before--the syndrome where you show them something like The Godfather and they go: Man, what a rip-off. But...what do the ending of Neuromancer and the ending of Watchmen have to do with each other at all, aside from maybe Manhattan going off saying "I think I'll create some [life]" being a bit like Wintermute going off to chase alien AI tail? Or is it that Pauley possibly being still "alive" in the ultraweb is better than Rorschach being "kept alive" by his own writings? Or...what?
