@@putintin Luthor and the Bat are both massive contenders for the smartest man on Earth. However Lex is considered to be the smarter of the two most of the time.
I just don’t buy that he doesn’t have powers. The way he moved, the strength he exhibited and the level of his reflexes....it surpasses what Batman demonstrates.
@@sketchysquirrel7368 ur not going to pick 200* man without bending ur knees and throwing him out the window like that batman has peak human strength and cant do that..
Hold on, hold on ... we don’t know for sure he was talking about the superhero Ozymandias. He could have been talking about Chris Hemsworth’s Mexican-Australian adopted half-brother ... Dias. Person 1: Hey! Who’s that Aussie over there ...? Person 2: Oh, that’s Aussie Man ... Dias.
Even the smartest man knows how flawed his life is...and I would lovd to see him face Batman then battle him like what the Shredder did in Batman/TMNT crossover.
It’s pronounced “Ozzy-Mandias,” not “Ozzy-Man-Dias.” The former is the ancient Greek word used to refer to the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II, and the latter is, I don’t know ... some random dude from Australia ... named Dias.
No human can move like that based on the graphic novel. He is fast that he can trick the human eye and strong many times the average man. In one one combat no man on his earth can beat him or ever lay a hand on him.
Hey Arris I remember on one of my comments I made about a history of Darkseid you said soon. How long is soon? We need some Darkseid on this channel Who’s with me? I know for a fact I’m not the only one
Comic book writer: school principle sees loner kid with bruises for weeks on end, kid ends up hurting another kid in a fight, principle: expel this loner kid immediately!!!!
How fitting now that the watchmen TV show begins (i hope it's gonna be on DVD sooner or later) Also bought the watchmen steelbox recently for 6,90€ and it looks new, no scratches or anything like that (have seen it between 5 or 10 times already but it's just to great not to have)
On the Green Lantern animated series one of the Guardian told Hal Jordan that The guardians had vast powers and that they stored their powers away and they stop using them. Please explain what they were, why they stop using them, all that Jazz.
No, this might be tl;dr, but Ozymandias is most definitely a superhero: The World of Alan Moore's story begins by asking the question - “What would happen if the 1939 release of the first ‘Superman’ comic-book story had inspired some real life events and people to become masked crimefighters?” Alan then recapitulates comic-book history by inventing a “golden age” collection of superheroes and various custom(ed) vigilantes, as well as a later generation following in their footsteps. The narrative of Watchmen uses them to delve deep into the psychological, as well as the ethical and political ramifications of vigilantism. One way that Watchmen forces us to re-think the superhero as we know 'em to be, is by portraying crimefighters as at least to some lesser-or-great extent “psychologically damaged” and beyond repair, like how Rorschach or Ozymandias are; relating to both of their genetic & environmental factors that shaped 'em into who and what they are. Rorschach, for example, was traumatized by an abusive childhood, and is in many ways - emotionally and psychologically maladjusted. He is therefore absolutely ruthless in his willingness to use violence to fight crime, yet his commitment to justice seems both - real and uncompromising. Some of Alan Moore's characters are more psychologically stable then Rorschach is, but still damaged, like how Ozymandias is. What makes Ozymandias a superhero is that he is by-far thee most intelligent - and at the same time - the most physically fit human to date I. His prime, as well as being one of thee most immensely successful out of all of us humans by our normal worldly standards, I mean, he is clearly a megalomaniacal individual who takes none other then and no less, Alexander the Great, as his personal role-model . . .yeah! Ozymandias may be semi-clairvoyant too, or thee greatest utilitarian ever, as he is accurately able to predict that the world is moving towards nuclear holocaust, and then he both creates and successfully executes an elaborate plan to stop this likely annihilation of all life on earth from happening at the mere expense of 3,000,000-people. 😒 His plan succeeds (where everyone else's would fail [due to the massive expense of lives])... Now, is he insane? Is he evil? I mean, on one hand, he was able to accurately analyze a growing threat of nuclear war that would permanently devastate our entire planet, sparked and exacerbated by our intentional Donald Trump like world leaders of-the-day's shitty gamesmanship, and on the other hand, the drastic solution he comes up with to save the world and restore a long lasting peace is 💯% successful, so...
@@garylefebvre2456 that is true but Ozzy really did save the world. While killing 3milion is a tragedy if he wefe to have allowed the nukes to go off it would've been those 3mil+everyone else
I’ve talked about this at length-the tl;dr, but what I’m talkin' about here is philosophical and how Ozymandias is actually a superhero and not a hero, Fugo Pannacota, and how vigilantes break and/or take the law into their own hands all the time, just to make a right-the said controversy. Now, if you are asking me if I think that murdering 3,000,000-people to bring about a greater good, like ‘world peace’ was worth the sacrifice, than my answer is ‘No!’. I’m not a fan of the Utilitarianism methodology and/or story arch that’s constantly used, especially when it’s used as means that justify the ends.
Another great video..as much a I love dc I want say we need video on histoy of M Kraan crystal.it showed up in house of x but no seems to be address ing that or fact magneto can effect vibraion now
I'm not familiar with the watchmen comics but I did see the movie. Is there Doctor Manhattan in this series or not? Or will he be introduced at a later stage?
Ozymdias is Bruce Wayne not being obsessed with Batman alter ego . Ozymdias is both terrifying under Adrian Veidt and Ozymdias,he know who he is . He is Batman if only Bruce wayne is perfect.
Ozymandias is much like Batman and Doc Savage, but is origin connected to another Watchmen I seem to remember a surprising one his mother was a cousin to someone in the Watchmen? In the current story in Doomsday Clock I get the impression he is hiding a strange secret related to the DC universe a huge story is coming but isn't really him and the dark Knight or who?
The only man to make dr Manhattan leave earth out of satisfaction that it wont be destroyed....only to not have forseem that rorsachs journal would make it's way to the press and undo everything ozzy has ever done. I feel like rorsach got the last laugh.
Ozymandias is the combination of Lex Luthor & Batman in my opinion.
think so?
That's true
Seems that way...........terrifying
@Sleeping Servant nite owl is inspired by the second blue beetle Ted Kors
Edit: Kord
....and Johnny from Karate Kid
He killed the comedian
And beat the hell out of Night owl 2 and Rorshach
Also tried to outsmart Mr Manhattan
Actually he did outsmart him once but doing it once is scary enough
It's Dr Manhattan
@@blueaceofficial indeed he has a PHD to probe that
Yokaihi B he didn’t actually, DM knew
@@koshishko28 yeah it was more like DM agreeing with him.
The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite!
The end of the movie proof him wrong
@@danielcesar664 YES
What about Dan Didio?
Go to bed
That quote really didn't age well.
I still chuckle at Rorschach trying to stab Ozy with a fork.
lol. I forgot about that. what the hell was Rorschach thinking?!?
@@chicostephenson Well, his tactic include using every object available as a weapon, so ......
Damn this dude really gave away all his money to charity only to become a billionaire on his own 👏👏👏
Power move
gotta admit, that's a ballsy move.
That’s a bad mf
It helps being prodigal genius also.
Too bad most billionaires arose the opposite way
I knew Ozy was smart but I didn't realize he Batmaned so hard. I'm officially 27% more scared of him. Thanks, Variant Comics.
Damn he’s more like Batman with how he tried all over the world!
Moore based him on batman.
then who was owl based on?
Batman
@@tombranch2261 No. Ozymandias was based him on the Charlton comics character Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt.
@@putintin Blue Beetle. All the Watchmen heroes were based on Charlton characters.
I love how in his origin story he fights the comedian but it wasn’t to win .. it was to study him hints why it was so easy to take him out

He didn't dodge a bullet he caught one.
Which is probably Atleast 100 times more impressive
thats not possible even for the smartest man dude. it really messes with my suspension of disbelief. give me a reason at least *how* he can do that.
Michael Blair I like to think it has something to do with the gloves he was wearing along with insane amounts of accuracy.

This has to be the most entertaining History Of episode I've seen in a while.
Ozymandias vs. Batman
Ozymandias meets Lex Luthor
He did say in Doomsday Clock that Lex was the smartest man of his world
After Batman is dead XD Luthor will be the smartest!
@@putintin No he ain't
@@putintin Luthor and the Bat are both massive contenders for the smartest man on Earth. However Lex is considered to be the smarter of the two most of the time.
go watch last episode of variant, Luthor himself said that , m just quoting.
If a man has the opportunity to do good he is obligated to take it
-Ozymandias
excellent quote
I just don’t buy that he doesn’t have powers. The way he moved, the strength he exhibited and the level of his reflexes....it surpasses what Batman demonstrates.
Not at all, I've seen batman do all this before, and more
@Earl Dennis no not at all
You must not know Batman.
The thing about Ozymandias is that he's supposed to be in the top of the human condition, he represents all the potential of the human race.
The smartest man would be In the best physical shape and move In the most precise way is what I would think
One of my favourite comic book villains ever! Please do the other Watchmen!
For him to have no powers the way he threw the comedian out the window in the movie makes u think
Swear I think he is at least alittle enhances
He has peak human strength.
@@sketchysquirrel7368 ur not going to pick 200* man without bending ur knees and throwing him out the window like that batman has peak human strength and cant do that..
Mr. AmazYn I mean he did climb the comedian building only using his fingers in toes
@@MrAvengersTV1 right... lol. Something don't sound right..
Ozeey-man-Dee-uus
You pronounced his name wrong the whole episode, it’s Ozeey-man-dee-us. Love the vids tho keep it up
I just commented something extremely similar lol.
I didn’t see it sorry mate
Don't worry about it. I just meant to say that I wasn't the only one. His pronunciation was bothering me throughout the entire video.
But did you under what he was saying?
Hold on, hold on ... we don’t know for sure he was talking about the superhero Ozymandias. He could have been talking about Chris Hemsworth’s Mexican-Australian adopted half-brother ... Dias.
Person 1: Hey! Who’s that Aussie over there ...?
Person 2: Oh, that’s Aussie Man ... Dias.
He's always been so interesting to me
Even the smartest man knows how flawed his life is...and I would lovd to see him face Batman then battle him like what the Shredder did in Batman/TMNT crossover.
Damn I expected him to have powers because those reflexes when catching a bullet was insane
It’s pronounced “Ozzy-Mandias,” not “Ozzy-Man-Dias.” The former is the ancient Greek word used to refer to the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II, and the latter is, I don’t know ... some random dude from Australia ... named Dias.
"Ozzy-man-dayas" is wrong on so many levels lol made me cringe
Jordan Boyce lol
@@Wise_Son I just watched the movie, Oza-man-dayas is how they say it in the movie.
Ngl it made me stop watching the vid
I wasn't payin' attention and thought Arris said "Drawn by Jay Z".

Soon!!

@@joshgarconvil it's just one of those anomalies that happens in life

They did a Darkseid vs Thanos episode. Gave some backstory.
Can you do an episode about the mandelorians?
Btw: I love your videos
Noah Mareschal that show looks like shit
@@bperez003 The Mandalorian: I think the movie "They Live" warned me about this.....
Best Watchmen persona
@Arries, your descriptions below are actually above you LOL… Thank you for the great videos and continue the good work!
I wish I was as good as Adrian in reality 😭
You guys should do a ‘History of’ episode on Captain Atom
History of gargoyles, gambit, and nightcrawler
I mean Gargoyles was an animated series not a comic book characters
3:30 He did what !!?? Damn this guy is badass
Aye Arris, my toilet clogged and I'm too scared to call the cops, help me.
i read this in an Irish accent for some reason
Nothing ends Adrian. Nothing ever ends.
I literally started learning about the poem ozymandius in English, does this count as revision?
2:09 oh that foreshadowing
The poem with Ozymandias is quoted at the end of the first Ultron story in the Avengers from the Sixties.
Hey Arris, We NEED a history of Darkseid videos bro!
You’re the man Arris Quinones
The new set is dope!
Ozymandias is one of my favorite Watchmen!
He's definitely my favorite character in Watchmen
DarkWinter8 Watchmen is not a group.
Just today i finally got time to watch Batman Hush, it was so good,10/10 in my books.
Hush reveal was lame
Is this the watchmen with Manhattan in it?
Paul Dano is The Riddler. Please do a history of him.
Do a history of Rorschach.
Ozymandias is one of the coolest Comic Book 📚 Characters EVER(
Forget Rorschach, this guy can beat Dr. Manhattan
Arris seems pretty smart and well read. Which is why it's killing me that he's pronouncing it Ozy-man-day-uhs.
Do comics count towards being “well read” I thought that was reserved for philosophy etc.
I freaking love your Nightwing shirt bro
Wait, so this guy was discriminated for being incredibly smart?! Wtf?!!
Jealousy
Why are you shocked, literally happens irl all the time everyday lol
It happens
Check william James sidis and his life
Comic book writer: school principle sees loner kid with bruises for weeks on end, kid ends up hurting another kid in a fight, principle: expel this loner kid immediately!!!!
Sounds like reality actually.
5:13 well, I would beg to differ, cuz I'm pretty sure the 2dn Nite Owl had a bit of a gut
Ozymandias would wreck batman
