*dimensional
But it's still gonna fail.
It's just nerds who are coping that the movie had the better ending for once.
it's not foolproof
dr. manhattan makes this clear with the "nothing ever ends" line, as does the implication that rorschach's journal might get published
the peace he achieves is fragile
the movie's ending misses the intent of all the gordian knot allusions in the comic
comic ozy "solves" the problem by introducing an new external factor (cutting the knot), movie ozy solves it by manipulating existing ones (untying it)

Where ter any Gordian Knot allusions in the movie?
IDK, I'd argue that the plan makes less sense in the movie.
Because if the made up threat that's supposed to unite the world is from a guy who's lived in America all his life it seems more like that might actually lead to war rather than if the threat were external.
>a guy who's lived in America all his life
It’s worse than that. Manhattan was a US military asset in the fight against global communism. He practically single-handedly won the Vietnam war
To be fair, he was not a military asset at that point and if you believe he blew up NYC then you can assume he's gone rogue, but you still have a decent case for striking America with everything you've got in the hopes of killing him.
By that point he'd snapped in the studio by Veidt's plants and had fled Earth, and Veidt bombs an American city as well. So it's at least somewhat believable that he could convince people Manhattan had snapped.
Why would everyone team up with America if the threat that destroyed all their cities was American?
It'd definitely stave off war temporarily because everyone would want to know what the frick was that thing that destroyed New York. But the question is what would happen ten years later when no new squid attacks happened
That’s why they keep the squid attacks coming.
>Lets keep nuking cities to prevent a nuclear war
doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of it?
I think I know how to revive the Pacific Rim movies
No, the fear of nuclear war was based on a belief that it would lead to extinction of humanity. Most people who grew up after the Cold War fundamentally don’t understand the mentality behind Watchmen. It seems pretty naive and silly in retrospect, but the feelings were real at the time.
Only in the HBO show and it doesn't make sense with Ozy's thirty-five minutes ago speech.
they certainly wouldn't become allies if an american nuked a bunch of cities around the world.
Yeah it doesn't make sense. I normally like Moore's stuff, but this was a big problem with the story.

Because that's what Reagan and Gorbachev would have done. They wouldn't have done it if the US's pet nuke went rogue, however, then the world would have just united against the US for being fricktards.

quentin was a gay but damn was he funny
The point of the original comic was that his idea was just a temporary fix and only delayed the nuclear armageddon by a couple of years at best.
It wasn't a perfect movie but the butthurt from comicbookgays was priceless.
If comicgays actually cared they'd have been more upset with turbosperg killing the pedo murderers outright.
Is that a change from the book too?
Yeah. Kind of an important one for Rorschach to actually be a hardliner. But it got almost zero anger.
I'd argue chaining someone to a burning building is still murder
OK. You're not supposed to be an insane superhero fetishist.
It wasnt that was the entire point of the GN moron
So, instead the world would be united against the United States because Doctor Manhattan is American. The movie sucked balls, zoomers.
