I don't get it.If he was bored with humanity, why hang out on mars and mope like a pussy?Why not explore the universe and fuck aliens and shit?He could depower himself a bit and play Captain KirkSerious question, since aliens definitely exist, they're just inhumanly far away
Also why'd they kill the good guy at the start of the movie?
uh oh you didn't post the original comicget him /co/sisters
>>146097427the government was letting him fuck around with advance science and shit, he was just curious, plus they kinda helped him land teenage pussy.
we are the only form of intelligent life in this universe. the other shit he doesnt get to see, PRISON PLANETS, YA SEE
>>146097427>why hang out on mars and mope like a pussy?Because he's a pussy
>>146097498>plus they kinda helped him land teenage pussy.>dr manhatten gets state mandated GF and an underage cutie to bootIts not fair goddamnit
>>146097427That's the whole point of the character. He's become detached from the types of things most humans think and care about. You think it would be fun and cool to zip around the universe looking for sexy aliens and playing space captain because you are human and driven by human desires. Manhattan is basically a mega autist at that point who just doesn't want to have to bother with that shit so he can just sit alone and contemplate the clockwork of reality.
>>146097427I imagine exploring the universe would've equated to Alan Moore ripping off Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker.
>>146097427Watchmen isn't very good, OP.
>>146097427Moore was deconstructing Superman. Manhattan was changing from "basically human, but with superpowers" to "Cosmic entity who has no concerns with humanity". You are watching the transition.
>>146097427>doesn't just reality warp his own mind to make himself entertained>doesn't just reality warp his own mind to make the entertainment never get old>doesn't just reality warp reality so nothing bad happens ever again and then have that be a good thingwtf was his problem? what an asshole
>>146098864Who wouldn't want to be azathoth tho?What a prick
>>146098843So Dr. Manhattan is just Moore's Miracleman on a larger scale? Gay. How the fuck did this guy give us Supreme? It's almost like a declaration that he gets Superman just fine but doesn't want to.
>>146099085Because he was writing two different things.
>>146098797This. It's great.>>146099085>So Dr. Manhattan is just Moore's Miracleman on a larger scale?No.
>>146097427He wasn't simply bored of humanity, he went to Mars because he was overwhelmed with grief and anger and melancholy and miscellaneous other emotions. That's not the moment to look for alien pals.He uses Mars to retreat inward, very myopically. Right before he left he still studied particle physics but it seems he gave even that up, instead (after staring at old photographs and symbolically abandoning old hangups) he's constructing his own clockwork toy with no external input of any kind.Then with the help of his ex-gf he processes some shit and at the end of the story he's ready to explore the universe and create aliens and so on.
>>146101584This.
>>146097427Cosmic entities are hard to write>You can't understand his struggle he is beyond human comprehension Ok, I don't understand the character >Noooo you can't not understand his impossible to understand motivation
>>146097427>whybecause he never did those thingshe's simultaneously aware of all the things he ever does or did or is doing and has no free will at all as a resultsince he never did any of those things, he can't choose to do them
>>146102957Dr Manhattan is intentionally very understandable tho
>>146097427>Why not explore the universe and fuck aliens and shit?Because there are no aliens.
>>146104019>Because there are no aliensDon't aliens attack the city right at the end? Isn't that the whole point?
>>146097427I watched this movie and it was retarded.Thats all. Thank you for reading.
>>146104089Those aren't real aliens. Adrian faked everything.
