I can change almost anything
But I can't change human nature
>>81435503
I understand everything there is to know about the universe. However, the one thing I do not know, cannot know, is why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Wow, Doctor Manhattan sold out hard.
Where did he buy those pants by the way?
yeah that was retarded
>can configure something out of a molecular level
>can change brain so they dont do nasty shit
Manhattan is one of the greatest villains in comic book history
Manhattan was right.
See, Ozymandias was a liar, and a murderer. Rorshach was a bigoted right-wing murderer. Comedian was a psychopathic nihilistic murderer. Nite Owl was a spineless pussy who never stood up to anyone. Laurie was a dumb cheating whore.
Manhattan was like "I don't want to live on this planet any more" and that's why he's the only decent guy in Watchmen
>>81435623
it's more logistical challenge than physical, he has to "fix" each individual brain and keep fixing them as more people are born
he is not Genie and can't wish something abstract (i wish happiness for everyone) and it just comes to be
you have a power to lift a box, but it doesn't matter that you can lift all boxes in the world
>>81435884
>he has to "fix" each individual brain and keep fixing them as more people are born
Not if he changes genetics.
Brain chemistry is also about genetics
>>81435884
he doesnt have to keep doing it you mong
he literally just need to do it so that the entirety of people with a brain is changed and born changed
>b-but you cant he that
he made his own planet to become jesus after watchment so he basically made people out of nothing
>>81435964
>Not if he changes genetics.
Same thing.
He still needs to change genetics of each individual and THEN keep fixing genetic corrections formula from going awry in the future.
>>81436049
>after watchment
>>81435964
And different environmental pressures cause the same genes to express differently. A man that would simply be ambitious in one life is a sociopath in another. You'd need to control everyone's lives to make sure they don't turn bad. That or simply turn everyone into lemmings
So... What can change the nature of a man?
>>81436679
Life, fate, destiny or death.
>>81436679
Regret.
>>81436679
Nothing, because destiny, fate, all that shit is already determined. Life is one big chain reaction and will all react to everything in a way that we think will best help us achieve our values/goals, whether they be long-term or short-term. In short, nothing can change the fate of man because it is set, i. e. no free will.

hes not powerful enough to do that you fucking retards, he is not omnipotent or omniscient
>>81436768
>not omniscient
Nigga knows what will happen before it does, and is bored because of it.
>>81435503
>>81436789
omniscient is knowing everything, manhattan only knows things that will happen to him specifically. He doesn't know the recipe for obscure foreign foods off the top of his head, he doesn't know what Nite Owl does in his own house, he probably doesn't even know if Ozymandias succeeded or not for sure.
>>81436768
There was no way to measure Manhattan's capabilities because the mundane world offers no challenge to him. Why could he not just create thousands of giant clones of himself around the country and stop every nuke that way? Or casually eliminate every Russian who knows their access codes at the same time? He's too uncreative to ever test his powers and doesn't care enough to do it but there's really no reason that he couldn't turn the radioactive material in every bomb into helium if he feels like it. The point of the comic is that even with a literal god on their side the US would get antsy about the soviets.
>>81436824
>he doesn't know what Nite Owl does in his own house
I think Manhattan would then be eternally thankful to whatever god there is for that small mercy.
>somewhere deep in the Owl-Hole, Dan is sitting hunched over his drawing-board, buck naked, his overweight ass spilling over the rim of his chair
>his body jerks rhythmically as groans escape him
>in front of him, various papers pinned to the board, surrounding the one he is working on currently
>they're all filled with 5-th grade level drawings of a "female" figures, all clad in superhero costumes, that look as if they were designed by a blind homosexual on bath salts
>as he lets out one final prolonged groan, he stops sketching, gets up and goes to the shower, where he cries as he tries vainly to wash away the shame
>>81435865
You're wrong because at the end the Comedian realized the joke was on him.
Sure you can. Just kill all the humans, then their nature would be "dead."

Should have said something about being able to perceive subatomic events that last for such a short time they can barely be said to have occured at all
