I love the line, "the worlds smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite". It's pretty typical for a powerful being to boast that the power difference between them and a human is akin to that between a human and an insect. But Manhattan takes it a step farther here, saying that the difference between himself and Adrian is so vast that humans and termites are the same thing, close enough in power to be lost in the error margins.
But it wasn't a termite, it wasn't even a god (Dr. Manhattan), it was a man who saved the world. All Manhattan's power and he couldn't prevent armageddon. It took Adrian.
logic bro, the line doesn't boast that the power difference between them and a human is akin to the difference between human and an insect, it actually means the power difference between them and a human is so large that the power difference between human and an insect doesn't even register on that scale, not equal to it.

@@skeetsvar162 Clearly, you've never studied psychology. A calm person can act ANY way they want, because they're calm and able to think clearly. Their actions can be predicted OR completely unpredicted--which means overall, they're UNpredictable. Emotional people aren't thinking clearly, it's much more difficult for them to be clever, which is what makes them more predictable. Make them scared or angry, and it's much easier to anticipate their next move. Unscrupulous politicians use this to their benefit.

“I’m disappointed in you Adrian, very disappointed” I love how he doesn’t even sound pissed off that he tried to kill him, he sounds like a teacher telling off child.
@@Discorded Yeah, he caught it cause he's fast enough. Not bulletproof. Took all that to catch one. She could've lit him up before he'd be ready to catch another. Plot armor.
"I've walked across the surface of the Sun. I've witnessed events so tiny and fast they can hardly be said to be occurred at all...but you, Adrian, are just a *man* ". Fucking goosebumps everytime. The incredulity, disappointment and little note of astonishment in his voice in front of the narrowness of human ability to understand and alter a universe so complex and unrelenting in its infinite scale levels that these pathetic attempts almost instill compassion. This is one of my favorite part for a reason: it succeds to truly unmask the real nature of human being, nothing more than a meaningless grain of dust in the wind that claims to controll everything around.
I actually hate it, because doctor Manhattan is also just a man that just got his particles ripped apart, and reassembled, and now for some reason he is now functionally a god. But even though this event has transposed him so beyond human capability, and understanding he still has a subplot where he is compelled by sexual desires, and is drawn to "beautiful" women in the exact same way normal, non god men are. Its rediculous, and completely undermines any significance his speech about how insignificant humans are may have had.
@@anthonypolonkay2681 indeed his behavior confirms his statement, his godly nature is still under the influence of his primordial instincts, no matter his facade, he's still a human with the powers of a god, but if we shall believe that he trascended to something else, we can draw two conclusions: either he's not really the guy he wants us to believe or we should value beauty and youth on an higher standard.
@@growingstruggle5493 it seems more likly that it's the first one. That his whole transcendence is a facade and that he is just wicked powerful physically. Otherwise all the problems for him would not be problems. In so far as if the 2nd thing about valuing youth, and beauty at a higher standard if he is indeed transcendent, that would be implicative that humanity has some form of speciality to it. An imago dei if you will.
Dr Manhattan: "the world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does it's world's smartest termite" the words of a god!!!...the dialogue in this movie is of mythical proportions enough to send chills through your body!!😱🥶
I think its a nice touch how Ozymandias hesitated to press the button that would kill his tiger it shows he doesn't like what he's doing but it is the right thing to do for peace. It humanizes him quite well imo
You want to know what makes this movie so much more disturbing...Ozmandies was right. By framing Dr Manhattan, he brought everyone together and stopped them from destroying themselves at the hands of their own paranoia. He saved billions in a twisted, deranged sort of way. The way that a sociopath would think to do.
Wouldnt dr manhattan need to keep showing up periodically? Didn't he just leave? In 50ish years humanity will be back to its usual old self destruction
It's really because the original graphic novel was all about developing the characters - something this movie kinda failed to do on a lot of accounts. It also didn't have very good pacing and a long runtime. I do think making Dr. Manhattan the patsy instead of a fake alien invasion was a smart touch tho.
Many of the people who saw this movie when it came out were unfamiliar with the source material. This was before edgy superhero flicks were the norm, so it pissed a lot of parents off. Unclear marketing didn’t help in that department either. Additionally, critics panned it for being too narratively complex - in their minds, it either needed to be divided up into several movies (horrible idea), or simplified for the average consumer. Ultimately it isn’t the turn-your-brain-off, cookie-cutter experience that typically leads to commercial success and critical acclaim. Imo there were minor pacing issues, but other than that, it was the best Watchmen movie anyone could have hoped for. If it came out a few years later with a better marketing campaign, it could have done better in the box office - but it was never going to be an extremely popular film
it was really good, but they should have kept the "alien invader" and the clues leading up to it....that would have been SO much better than just an explosion, although the explosion visuals WERE good....
He is the most intelligent superhero. Each of his dialogue is very good for deliberation. The way he feels the delight of uncertainty. He is not attached to the world but still works for the welfare of it.
Manhatten is not smart. Veidt is also stupid. The problem with the entire movie is the ending. The rest of the movie is great but the end is dumb. Manhatten likes Veidts plan and doesn't know that his plan will fail in the long run is stupid. Night Owl realizes the bad thing about that plan after Rorschach is killed, that it will leave behind a deformed humanity. Also since the newspapers have Rorschachs diary they will print it and the world might know that Veidt did all of those bad things. And when Manhatten left the planet there is no threat humanity can go against. Since Manhatten was an American citizen they might even combine their forces against America, so Veidt just killed millions for nothing, just to feel better by being "smart". The problem is that both Mahatten and Veidt are idiots.
@@4Astaroth People are easily deceived and don't like to be made aware of it, lest they have to admit that they were fooled. They believed that Manhattan-someone who many, if not most, were already afraid of-killed millions and would gladly regard a dead man's diary as a conspiracy theory without much merit or outright fiction. So, it's not a win on Rorschach's part, either. It's down to Nite Owl and Silk Spectre to decide if they should convince the world but they would have a hard time even if Veidt-a popular public figure who is viewed as a humanitarian-confessed to the whole world.
@@khymaaren Good points. As I know humanity something like that can never be maintained over long time period. Having all people to be nice to each other? That's a lot to ask for. A "win" on Ozymandias side would work for a week maybe or a month if everyone is really cool to everyone else but there will always be a monster who is not nice, and it will awake other monsters.
I think Ozymandias really did think it had a chance of killing Dr. Manhattan, but he still had a contingency plan. As soon as he realized Dr. Manhattan was still alive, he dove for the remote control as if he knew it was the last trick up his sleeve.
The remote control was just to turn the TV on lol, he enacted his plan before this all happened. Do you really think he would explain his master plan if there was even the slightest possibility of it being stopped.
@@petaisajoke Entirely missing the point lol. We all saw the movie we know what the remote did. He dove for it anyway because turning on the TV and talking to Manhattan was indeed his "last trick" available - to convince an angry god he was right all along.
Given the possibility that ozzy would turn out to be problematic in the future, I'm surprised that Doc Manhattan didn't poof him into an expanding cloud of guts as well.
@@user-uq4gr5nl5o nor, apparently, did he simultaneously disarm every nuclear device on earth. I know- like all of our criticisms, that would've been a different movie.
Ehhhhhh not persay. Anything that happens in this film is because of Dr. Manhattan's passiveness. He could very easily stop all of it from happening, pretty sure even the bombs made out of his own energy
People can say what they want about this movie but I was a pretty solid one I love the fact that basically the bad guy won and yes I know it lead to “world peace” but that whole part of how are you going to stop me my plans started 15 minutes ago was just the best I wish more movie villains where like this
Rorschach "wins". His diary makes it to that journalist, so the implication is that eventually the world learns the truth and things go back to the way they were before
It's a crapsack world, so proper "heroes" are always limited by incompetence and anti-hero vs. anti-villain is the best (among humans) the world gets to choose from. Manhattan, because of his nigh-omnipotence and omniscience, is reduced to an alien/unfeeling force of nature because of that power and knowledge.
@@sairen5121 It's self explanatory who both of those gentlemen are. Oz outsmarted Dr. Manhattan. Batman outsmarted the most dangerous person in DC (Darkseid). And I don't even need to say who Lex outsmarted. All 3 are very smart. But saying batman is child's play is crazy. At least say Oz is a little smarter lol.
I remember watching this movie in theaters. Everyone *HATED* it! People outraged at this naked blue man on screen. 😂 Only when I watched this at home on dvd did I realize what a masterful work it really is
"What's that? Another Ultimate Weapon?" That's such an OP line. The line expresses the idea that Manhattan not only shrugs off Ultimate Weapons but does so unconcerned. Good writing!
"I have walked across the surface of the sun. I have witnessed events so tiny and so fast they could hardly be said to have occurred at all." I love those lines. They're not just total flexes, they also imply a total mastery of gravity and quantum mechanics, which are arguably the last frontiers in physics. Totally makes sense for a god-like being with a background in particle physics.
Gravity is easy to understand. I have figured out how it works. Quantum mechanics are easy too. Such as redoxing the pathogens in your body so you can live in perfect health and live longer. I am beyond this world, but stuck in a trap.
@@pizzaparty-r1c "Quantum Mechanics are easy too" LMFAO not even top experts will ever claim that, it's an "open one door and find another" field. I'm willing to bet you don't know your muon from a gluon. "I am beyond this world, but stuck in a trap" yeah, it's called "your ego". Drop that if you want to actually expand your brain.

This version of Ozymandias that we saw in the Watchmen movie was 100% correct. Ozymandias actually did "care" about other people - particularly the entire human race. The logic behind the thoughts of Ozymandias was very simple - it is worth it to sacrifice "millions" in order to save "billions," as we heard him say in the movie. I did NOT like the Watchmen TV series version of Ozymandias. The TV version was more of an insane madman who would kill people for his own entertainment - literally sacrificing the lives of people in plays that were performed in front of him. That version of Ozymandias was NOT accurate.
I don't mind that you didn't like it - I thought that was a pretty damn extraneous and often annoying subplot - but I don't think current and future Ozymandias are inconsistent. a) The moon men were artificial people with simplified personalities that were essentially replicated with each clone IIRC. While views vary on how much humanity that brings with it, you could easily see Ozy regarding them as not having the same inherent value as regular humans. b) Ozy was probably a bit more nuts than he is in this scene, after all his years in exile.
As a 40k Imperial Inquisitor once said, "Some may question my right to destroy a world with ten billion souls, but those who truly understand realize I have no right to let them live." Sometimes you gotta torch a planet to save the galaxy.
That thinking means you’re an irredeemable psychopath. That is disordered thinking, a justification for playing god. It makes Ozymandias the most evil comic book villain of all time, worse than even Elon Musk.
He didn't do it for that reason. They let their guard down when they thought that he was shot. In doing so he was able to disarm her which, in turn, disarmed the Owl. You honestly believe that he would care about anyone else's success?
I like to think that he was indeed dead, and resurrected himself just as he did years prior. In that time he worked on it for weeks. In this case he could do it in mere minutes.
@@nestoreleuteriopaivabendo5415 Yup, he 100% had to reassemble himself which means he was disassembled, which means he WAS dead. If Ozzy had spent time working on a way to block that too he just be dead.
Kinda was a humanizing moment for Oz that he hesitated when he saw his tiger in the way and asked her to forgive him. It's refreshing to see an antagonist like Oz not painted as a complete sociopath
@@ZerpDerp I would argue against Oz being a sociopath; A sociopath cares only for one thing, him-/herself. Oz could *easily* have constructed a shelter to wait out the impending nuclear war. He didn't. He orchestrated a plan, at great risk to himself, even allowed himself to get hurt (a sociopath would *Never* allow that) for it to work, in order to save humanity from itself. Oz cares about everyone, but he knows that to make the superpowers put away their differences and stop fighting, they need a bigger threat than eachother to unite against. This is even more obvious in the comics. The plan can basically be boiled down to; The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. He might be a megalomaniac, but a sociopath? No.
This movie was just ahead of its time That time no one wanted to see superhero dark sides and their consequences while today we have millions of fans who are enjoying the Boys.
When a go out my first watching of this film, I had a strange feeling, except for silk specter (the woman), I feel able to understand every points of view : Manhattan, Ozamndyas, Owl and Rorscharch. I was able to understand behond any moral position. The distance of Manhattan, the cold but necessary choice of Ozymandias, the good man in Owl and the cynical violent vigilante with no pity but obsessed by the truth Rorscharch. They all have a point of view you can understand. And for me, Ozymandias is not "evil". He is the answer of the abnormal presence of Doc Manhattan. Manhattan push the world near atomic holocaust, not deliberatly. Manhattan was an abnormal threat for world peace, changing history pushing humanity to a dead end. Ozymandias respond to save the world with a method equaly enormous. Manhattan was lesser and lesser affected by moral dilemna and empathy, Ozymandias need to answer with a same attitude, cold mind, no ethic, just cold mathematics to permit survival of humanity. The same way than Spock in Star Trek : logic. Accept the lost of a few to save majority. Except Spock sacrifice himself. Not Ozymandias.
Nah. Ozymandias is evil af!! He stopped being a "good guy" and became the problem. "The ends justifies the means." That is where Rorschach had it right. He represents the morality, the knowledge of good and evil. The belief that good should win over evil and that the TRUTH of "How We Got Here" is as important as getting here. Ozymandias is just another arrogant idiot savant - someone who thinks he knows more than you and can tell you how to live. Failure to believe in his plan leads to your death. Yeah, he's evil.
This movie really was ahead of its time. I truly believe the world would not be as accepting of The Boys as it is today if we hadn't been marinated by this movie first.
“The worlds smartest man is no more threat to me then is it’s smartest termite” Now _that_ is power. True godhood is total invincibility, not that pansy shit Doc Doom wants and Thor has.

She was supposed to be etill in the state of shock and crying due to the sorrounding deaths she'd just witnessed upon teleportation, but dunno, ankerman's act seemed pretty weak in this movie
The point is Ozy wanted to remove Dr. M from the scene long enough for his plan to come to fruition and preventing Dr. M from interfering. It's more clear in the book, which also is better on account of not making Dr. M the big baddie.
"I have walked across the surface of the sun" is a great line that really captures that Oz is dealing with a being that is different, not in degree, but in kind. Reminds me of the book of Job in the Bible, where God is questioning/humbling Job by asking him a series of questions about existence, and among them is this: “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place." A being with that type of power is difficult to even comprehend.
I love this movie but the one scene they didn't include which I missed was: "John tell me, this plan, does it turn out all right? In the end?" "Oh Adrian.... Nothing ever ends."
Ozymandias is named after a poem about the utter futility of even the greatest human accomplishments when measured on a large enough scale. Very fitting.

Veidt and Manhattan are two of the best characters ever conceived. Veidt is a phenomenal villain who is perfectly fleshed out and justified, and Manhattan is the perfect example of how to write such an overpowered character, using his detachment from the human condition to give him flaws and depth.
That's what I love about Ozymandias' genius, he didn't simply make a plan in which he would win but he made one in which he wouldn't lose even with his own death. He put his plan above everything else, especially his own survival as he knew the other capes would go for him to get answers as he concealed the details very carefully and therefore made himself the only reliable source to get the necessary intel. He may not be "a comic book villain" to reveal his plan ahead of time so the capes could stop it, but by making himself the center of attention he used those very comic book villain codes he mocked in an ironically masterful way.
I love him for being a Villain that doesn't just get beaten, but I also love the fact that even though his plan worked, its implied that it isn't gonna last cause Rorschach left his journal, and tbh once you think about his plan for awhile you realize it's batshit crazy and isn't gonna last longer than people think there's still a threat.
Those events that are so tiny are the size of universes and galaxies. He's actually telling you how large of an entity he is himself to see an entire universes timeliness past by but to also see it slo MO and in an instant is a boost to how powerful he is over himself.
the difference between being a god and being a god-like entity are semantics, and none if it depends on what that god entity says about himself. Primarily the difference is 1. worship and 2. care for souls. Since souls don’t exist....neither of those qualities actually have any impact on the nature of the being. You can add other qualities and they will be just as meaningless
@@Dadecorban sure but you forgot the whole omniscience and near infinite awareness part, He’s basically saying humans perception of what a god is and is defined by is flawed and incorrect, and yet they ignored him and called him one anyway, this in no way at all wouldn’t have helped his isolation from humanity, and was a big part of why he went to Mars, to get away from these retards who don’t listen even when they know and acknowledge he’s smarter than them Which also confirms what he perceived
@@Dadecorban I'm not fully in either camp, because I DON'T KNOW if a "soul" or creator exists...and people (like YOU, for example) who are just so sure they know the truth are fools...PROVE to me that the soul exists, or that it does not.

His death didn't matter anyway, He has had already achieved his plan
"I've walked across the surface of the Sun. I've witnessed events so tiny and fast they can hardly be said to be occurred at all...but you, Adrian, are just a *man* ". Fucking goosebumps everytime. The incredulity, disappointment and little note of astonishment in his voice in front of the narrowness of human ability to understand and alter a universe so complex and unrelenting in its infinite scale levels that these pathetic attempts almost instill compassion. This is one of my favorite part for a reason: it succeds to truly unmask the real nature of human being, nothing more than a meaningless grain of dust in the wind that claims to controll everything around.
I actually hate it, because doctor Manhattan is also just a man that just got his particles ripped apart, and reassembled, and now for some reason he is now functionally a god. But even though this event has transposed him so beyond human capability, and understanding he still has a subplot where he is compelled by sexual desires, and is drawn to "beautiful" women in the exact same way normal, non god men are. Its rediculous, and completely undermines any significance his speech about how insignificant humans are may have had.
And the absolute irony of that lecture of superiority being directed at the man that was, in fact, a step ahead and playing the good Dr. M for a fool.

@@anthonypolonkay2681 indeed his behavior confirms his statement, his godly nature is still under the influence of his primordial instincts, no matter his facade, he's still a human with the powers of a god, but if we shall believe that he trascended to something else, we can draw two conclusions: either he's not really the guy he wants us to believe or we should value beauty and youth on an higher standard.
@@growingstruggle5493 it seems more likly that it's the first one. That his whole transcendence is a facade and that he is just wicked powerful physically. Otherwise all the problems for him would not be problems.

Dr Manhattan: "the world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does it's world's smartest termite" the words of a god!!!...the dialogue in this movie is of mythical proportions enough to send chills through your body!!😱🥶

@@NymbusCumulo928 Ok go off, nobody cares though
The good parts were taken verbatim from the comic - that’s Alan Moore’s dialogue, not Zach Snyder’s.

"I'm very disappointed in you ...reassembling myself is the first trick I learned" love that movie
I like how it is immediately followed by failing to snatch him up LMAO
I think its a nice touch how Ozymandias hesitated to press the button that would kill his tiger it shows he doesn't like what he's doing but it is the right thing to do for peace. It humanizes him quite well imo
It was also to save himself. His plans always included his own survival, even though many more were killed.
You want to know what makes this movie so much more disturbing...Ozmandies was right. By framing Dr Manhattan, he brought everyone together and stopped them from destroying themselves at the hands of their own paranoia. He saved billions in a twisted, deranged sort of way. The way that a sociopath would think to do.
It would only really work if Dr Manhattan went along with it and showed up every once in a while and pretends to be fought off
His plan was a bandaid solution at best. Greed and war win out against paranoia eventually.
Wouldnt dr manhattan need to keep showing up periodically? Didn't he just leave? In 50ish years humanity will be back to its usual old self destruction
When ppl find a common enemy to band against, their animosity against eachother will subside 99.9% of the time
@@fabianp.2986 How did that work for the soviets
Other than the ending this movie stays pretty faithful to the source material. I don't know why so many people don't like it.
It's really because the original graphic novel was all about developing the characters - something this movie kinda failed to do on a lot of accounts. It also didn't have very good pacing and a long runtime. I do think making Dr. Manhattan the patsy instead of a fake alien invasion was a smart touch tho.
True, mostly they hate it bcs snyder.
Many of the people who saw this movie when it came out were unfamiliar with the source material. This was before edgy superhero flicks were the norm, so it pissed a lot of parents off. Unclear marketing didn’t help in that department either. Additionally, critics panned it for being too narratively complex - in their minds, it either needed to be divided up into several movies (horrible idea), or simplified for the average consumer.
Ultimately it isn’t the turn-your-brain-off, cookie-cutter experience that typically leads to commercial success and critical acclaim. Imo there were minor pacing issues, but other than that, it was the best Watchmen movie anyone could have hoped for. If it came out a few years later with a better marketing campaign, it could have done better in the box office - but it was never going to be an extremely popular film
it was really good, but they should have kept the "alien invader" and the clues leading up to it....that would have been SO much better than just an explosion, although the explosion visuals WERE good....
@@danlorett2184 NO ! Fake Alien was better ! Adrian used Manhattan to duplicate his teleportation, that was enough.
He is the most intelligent superhero. Each of his dialogue is very good for deliberation. The way he feels the delight of uncertainty. He is not attached to the world but still works for the welfare of it.
Lies again? Dr. Martens
And yet, he wasn't able to save it. Or, "just a man" was.
Manhatten is not smart. Veidt is also stupid. The problem with the entire movie is the ending. The rest of the movie is great but the end is dumb. Manhatten likes Veidts plan and doesn't know that his plan will fail in the long run is stupid. Night Owl realizes the bad thing about that plan after Rorschach is killed, that it will leave behind a deformed humanity. Also since the newspapers have Rorschachs diary they will print it and the world might know that Veidt did all of those bad things. And when Manhatten left the planet there is no threat humanity can go against. Since Manhatten was an American citizen they might even combine their forces against America, so Veidt just killed millions for nothing, just to feel better by being "smart". The problem is that both Mahatten and Veidt are idiots.
@@4Astaroth People are easily deceived and don't like to be made aware of it, lest they have to admit that they were fooled. They believed that Manhattan-someone who many, if not most, were already afraid of-killed millions and would gladly regard a dead man's diary as a conspiracy theory without much merit or outright fiction. So, it's not a win on Rorschach's part, either. It's down to Nite Owl and Silk Spectre to decide if they should convince the world but they would have a hard time even if Veidt-a popular public figure who is viewed as a humanitarian-confessed to the whole world.
@@khymaaren Good points. As I know humanity something like that can never be maintained over long time period. Having all people to be nice to each other? That's a lot to ask for. A "win" on Ozymandias side would work for a week maybe or a month if everyone is really cool to everyone else but there will always be a monster who is not nice, and it will awake other monsters.
I think Ozymandias really did think it had a chance of killing Dr. Manhattan, but he still had a contingency plan. As soon as he realized Dr. Manhattan was still alive, he dove for the remote control as if he knew it was the last trick up his sleeve.
The remote control was just to turn the TV on lol, he enacted his plan before this all happened. Do you really think he would explain his master plan if there was even the slightest possibility of it being stopped.
@@petaisajoke Entirely missing the point lol. We all saw the movie we know what the remote did. He dove for it anyway because turning on the TV and talking to Manhattan was indeed his "last trick" available - to convince an angry god he was right all along.

The real triumph of Ozymandias was not destroying Dr. Manhattan, but creating Busbastis Manhasttas

Rorschach "wins". His diary makes it to that journalist, so the implication is that eventually the world learns the truth and things go back to the way they were before
it's just a direct copy of the comic book, down to the cinematography.
@@evanater13 Funny how people tended to miss that fact and that Dr Manhattan was somehow unaware of it as well...
It's a crapsack world, so proper "heroes" are always limited by incompetence and anti-hero vs. anti-villain is the best (among humans) the world gets to choose from. Manhattan, because of his nigh-omnipotence and omniscience, is reduced to an alien/unfeeling force of nature because of that power and knowledge.

God I love that line
This version of Ozymandias that we saw in the Watchmen movie was 100% correct. Ozymandias actually did "care" about other people - particularly the entire human race. The logic behind the thoughts of Ozymandias was very simple - it is worth it to sacrifice "millions" in order to save "billions," as we heard him say in the movie. I did NOT like the Watchmen TV series version of Ozymandias. The TV version was more of an insane madman who would kill people for his own entertainment - literally sacrificing the lives of people in plays that were performed in front of him. That version of Ozymandias was NOT accurate.
now I'm even more glad I didn't watch it.
I don't mind that you didn't like it - I thought that was a pretty damn extraneous and often annoying subplot - but I don't think current and future Ozymandias are inconsistent.
a) The moon men were artificial people with simplified personalities that were essentially replicated with each clone IIRC. While views vary on how much humanity that brings with it, you could easily see Ozy regarding them as not having the same inherent value as regular humans.
b) Ozy was probably a bit more nuts than he is in this scene, after all his years in exile.
As a 40k Imperial Inquisitor once said, "Some may question my right to destroy a world with ten billion souls, but those who truly understand realize I have no right to let them live." Sometimes you gotta torch a planet to save the galaxy.
That thinking means you’re an irredeemable psychopath. That is disordered thinking, a justification for playing god. It makes Ozymandias the most evil comic book villain of all time, worse than even Elon Musk.
The tv series takes place 34 years after the events of the original comic. Ozymandias could have changed after all those years.
Dr.Manhattan pretending to be dead just to gave them a feel of success
Apart from the fact that Ozamndyas did actually win in the end, in his own way
He didn't do it for that reason. They let their guard down when they thought that he was shot. In doing so he was able to disarm her which, in turn, disarmed the Owl. You honestly believe that he would care about anyone else's success?
“I just want you to feel that you are doing well. I wouldn’t want anyone to die embarrassed.”
I like to think that he was indeed dead, and resurrected himself just as he did years prior. In that time he worked on it for weeks. In this case he could do it in mere minutes.
@@nestoreleuteriopaivabendo5415 Yup, he 100% had to reassemble himself which means he was disassembled, which means he WAS dead. If Ozzy had spent time working on a way to block that too he just be dead.

Kinda was a humanizing moment for Oz that he hesitated when he saw his tiger in the way and asked her to forgive him. It's refreshing to see an antagonist like Oz not painted as a complete sociopath
It's actually a classic attribute of sociopaths that they sometimes care about animals more than people
Psychopath*
@@ZerpDerp I would argue against Oz being a sociopath;
A sociopath cares only for one thing, him-/herself. Oz could *easily* have constructed a shelter to wait out the impending nuclear war.
He didn't.
He orchestrated a plan, at great risk to himself, even allowed himself to get hurt (a sociopath would *Never* allow that) for it to work, in order to save humanity from itself.
Oz cares about everyone, but he knows that to make the superpowers put away their differences and stop fighting, they need a bigger threat than eachother to unite against.
This is even more obvious in the comics.
The plan can basically be boiled down to; The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few.
He might be a megalomaniac, but a sociopath?
No.
@@The_Keeper He was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He wanted to save the world because he wanted to play hero.

Apparently, Adrian did.
When a go out my first watching of this film, I had a strange feeling, except for silk specter (the woman), I feel able to understand every points of view : Manhattan, Ozamndyas, Owl and Rorscharch. I was able to understand behond any moral position. The distance of Manhattan, the cold but necessary choice of Ozymandias, the good man in Owl and the cynical violent vigilante with no pity but obsessed by the truth Rorscharch. They all have a point of view you can understand. And for me, Ozymandias is not "evil". He is the answer of the abnormal presence of Doc Manhattan. Manhattan push the world near atomic holocaust, not deliberatly. Manhattan was an abnormal threat for world peace, changing history pushing humanity to a dead end. Ozymandias respond to save the world with a method equaly enormous. Manhattan was lesser and lesser affected by moral dilemna and empathy, Ozymandias need to answer with a same attitude, cold mind, no ethic, just cold mathematics to permit survival of humanity. The same way than Spock in Star Trek : logic. Accept the lost of a few to save majority. Except Spock sacrifice himself. Not Ozymandias.
Well. I understood none of them. Maybe accept Rorschach's.
lol sexist
@@thoughtgains6959 wtf that has to do with this ?
Englush good
Nah. Ozymandias is evil af!! He stopped being a "good guy" and became the problem. "The ends justifies the means." That is where Rorschach had it right. He represents the morality, the knowledge of good and evil. The belief that good should win over evil and that the TRUTH of "How We Got Here" is as important as getting here. Ozymandias is just another arrogant idiot savant - someone who thinks he knows more than you and can tell you how to live. Failure to believe in his plan leads to your death. Yeah, he's evil.
Even after all that, Ozymandias plan still comes to fruition. King of kings

Ozymandias, the man who defeated Dr. Manhattan with a TV remote
He forced him to compromise. Dr Manhattan showed that he can't be defeated. It took the world's smartest man just to delay him for a few minutes.
Horzak had the last laugh he out smarted them both by keeping a simple journal
Dr. Mano is the closest visual interpretation of an almost Omnipotent deity on screen. Ozy really sacrificed his big cat for nothing.
The point is Ozy wanted to remove Dr. M from the scene long enough for his plan to come to fruition and preventing Dr. M from interfering. It's more clear in the book, which also is better on account of not making Dr. M the big baddie.
What happened to the cat,did the cat turned into manhattan too?
"I have walked across the surface of the sun" is a great line that really captures that Oz is dealing with a being that is different, not in degree, but in kind. Reminds me of the book of Job in the Bible, where God is questioning/humbling Job by asking him a series of questions about existence, and among them is this: “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place." A being with that type of power is difficult to even comprehend.

"It didn't kill Osterman, did you really think it'd kill me?" that was raw af
That's what I love about Ozymandias' genius, he didn't simply make a plan in which he would win but he made one in which he wouldn't lose even with his own death.
He put his plan above everything else, especially his own survival as he knew the other capes would go for him to get answers as he concealed the details very carefully and therefore made himself the only reliable source to get the necessary intel.
He may not be "a comic book villain" to reveal his plan ahead of time so the capes could stop it, but by making himself the center of attention he used those very comic book villain codes he mocked in an ironically masterful way.
I love him for being a Villain that doesn't just get beaten, but I also love the fact that even though his plan worked, its implied that it isn't gonna last cause Rorschach left his journal, and tbh once you think about his plan for awhile you realize it's batshit crazy and isn't gonna last longer than people think there's still a threat.

Man, I really need to rewatch this as an adult. I was a kid back then and thought this was just another superhero movie and was quite confused/shocked at how dark and depressing the story was.
I love both the original comics and the movie, despite some of its adaptations and constraints 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Plot twist, Ozy forgets to put batteries in the remote and Dr. Manhattan kills him.
I loved how the lines between superheroes and supervillains are blurred. From hero to villain to hero again. I loved it and Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach were my favorite. Awesome characters
This movie is called…”Soundguys for the win: When a bullet falls on the ground and you hear the sound that a casing makes when it hits the floor instead.”
Smartest man in the world, yet his password was "Pharoah"
This had a MUCH better ending than the book
What's different in the book?
@@mjstwocents4568
In the book, instead of blowing up every major city and blaming it on Jon, Veidt has a massive psychic monster generically engineered and has it teleported into New York; it dies almost immediately and the physical and psychic backlash kills three million people.
The world perceives this as a threat from beyond, a problem bigger than mankind, and world leaders start reaching out to each other, sowing the seeds for a future where humanity is united.
I agree I also prefer the movie ending.. this movie overall is pretty underrated
@@gigangreg7837 is the TV show based on the book 2 ???
@@gigangreg7837 Oh I see. Yeah this is better
Dude the fact that manhattan doesn’t just vaporise him has always bothered me
I love how they bleep out nite owl saying bastard but they leave dr Manhattan's stuff uncensored
Dr. Manhattan said "you ain't shit" to Adrian in the most classy way ive ever heard 😂
It's right there with:
"How Many Peoples Have Dreamed Of My End? You Are No Closer Than The Babylonians With Their Swords And Fire Sticks!"
Way ahead of it's time and underrated.
saying it doesn't make it true
@@delz5863 Back at ya, too.
Dr Manhattans ability to grow is an underrated ability.
Being a superhero AND a doctor is pretty impressive on a resume...
If I were as smart as Ozymandias, I would have replicated the experiment that changed John, and made myself like him.
Tbh this was Synder's peak. I mean, loved his DC trilogy, but this movie was just something else. Cinematography, effects. It was so good.
I'd say 300 was his peak.
Man of Steel was his best film.
