      @@jasoncalvetti1983 it just shows his immense intelligence as well. If this option is available to other humans after death which I imagine it is, my guess as to why nobody else had done or been able to do it in all that time is because you would need to have a complete knowledge of the human genome/DNA sequence and the ability to actually reassemble an entire being from the ground up once again with nothing but your mind. So a lot of human consciousnesses have probably tried but due to not having the knowledge needed or the ability to reconstruct themselves perfectly they're eventually just like "ah screw this" and move on the afterlife. So the fact that Osterman was able to do it alone shows how smart he is

      Alan Moore was referencing the original Charleton Comics character Captain Atom, who got his powers when he was accidentally trapped in a nuclear missile he was doing last minute repairs on and atomized, and then reassembled himself by force of will back on Earth. Moore's original plan was to use Charleton characters that DC had acquired to tell his story, mainly the Blue Beetle, Nightshade, Captain Atom, and The Question. When DC vetoed the idea (already having other plans for some of the characters), Moore created Night Owl, Silk Specter, Doctor Manhattan, and Rorschach to replace those characters.
      But, yeah, lots of accidental power-gaining circumstances seemed distinctly unpleasant. Barry Allen: struck by lightning and hurled into a shelf full of forensics-related chemicals, becomes The Flash. Jim Corrigan (easily one of the worst ones): shot by gangsters, stuffed in a barrel that is then filled with cement and dropped into a river, actually dies, is sent back to Earth bound to the archangel Raguel "unto whom is given the Wrath of God" and becomes The Spectre (basically the single most powerful superbeing in DC comics that regularly interacts with Earth, but also plagued by the Wrath constantly urging him to use that power to wreak vengeance for crimes great and small). Carter and Sheira Hall discover they're the reincarnation of two beings fated to be reborn, find each other, fall in love, and be murdered, endlessly, throughout history: become Hawkman and Hawkwoman (using scientific and alchemical knowledge gleaned from remembering thousands of past lives). The list goes on.
      Even a number of origins that don't give powers (only motivation to become a hero) really suck. Obvious first choice: Bruce Wayne sees his parents murdered in front of him at the age of eight, leading eventually to him becoming Batman.

    0:27 in my opinion this carries a lot more weight in my eyes. She didn’t abandon him out of apathy or anything like that. She just couldn’t stand the sight of seeing someone she loves get destroyed. It was still the wrong choice though. So in my mind that subconsciously fragmented both her and Jon emotionally. And I think if she had just stayed, Jon would’ve turned out to be a different doctor manhattan. The last thing Jon feels isn’t just fear, but aloneness. That one seed probably just festered in his mind and lead him down a path of complete and total detachment.

      Won't work. The characters don't translate well to live action because they are too basic. They have too few flaws and vices by which any story can progress (their problems typically being external threats they face). That's the difference between the characters that are entertaining and the ones who are not. There is some socio-political relevance to that too, I have noticed.

Look at the DC Animated Universe, with JLU, the superman series, the batman one, they can clearly make complex characters from these templates. The solution, though, is not to do everything in your power to make Batman the Punisher, and give Superman a God Complex.

      Snyder’s Superman does *not* have a god complex.
      People in the DCEU push that image onto him, while he’s just an insecure farm boy trying to do the right thing.
      As for Batman, Snyder had the balls to ask, “What if Batman started to lose his way?” He tried something different with the character.
      And of course the whole point of said arc was Batman realizing he’s losing it, and mending his ways by the time JL comes along.

      It is also a reference to the doomsday clock, implying that humanity is about to annihilate itself as the climax of the cold war, which is the point of the movie: how much impact can superheroes really have, and is it worth it? Read the comic and Moore's commentary on it, the movie is very faithful to it and it is amazing how many details and references there are in both.

    Dr. Manhattan's monologue portrayed here is, to me, despite so many classic movies I have watched, the greatest scene in all cinema.
    Zack Snyder is a controversial director, and so is Allan Moore, the one that wrote the original comics. But, at this scene in particular, at this moment, the crossing of their both "weirdness"(I guess), was absolutely perfect. A phenomenon I can't even begin to explain. Every year that I came to back to watch this I get the same eerie feeling, the goosebumps of awe. And I do not know of any other cinema flick capable of captivating me like this.

It’s an amazing documentary film that I highly recommend watching, and it’s title is a Hopi Indian word meaning “Life Out Of Balance.” Not only does it fit from an unknowing perspective just viewing and listening the scene at face value, but the parallels to Doctor Manhattan’s character perfectly fit the themes of the film it derives the music from. Just check out Phillip Glass’s work in general. It’s fantastic, and I’d recommend listening to some Max Richter as well.

      It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who realizes this about Snyder. He’s a great visual stylist, for sure, which has served him well for films like Watchmen and 300. I doubt anyone else in Hollywood could make adaptations of them as well as he did. But give him the opportunity to do something original and he produces subpar films like Sucker Punch and (dare I say it) Man of Steel. A big reason why Watchmen is as well received a film as it is has to do with the fact that Snyder changed very little of its main story. He literally used the comic panels as a storyboard in pre-production.
      Again, not hating on the guy; he clearly has talent. Writing just doesn’t happen to be one of them.
