I'm not a comic book villain. Do you seriously think I would explain my master stroke to you if there were even the slightest possibility you could affect the outcome? I triggered it 35 minutes ago.

He did nothing wrong

>>62773290
The best villains are ones whose plans make sense and can be seen as just/moral from certain viewpoints
Just another great thing about Watchmen
>>62773290
Does anyone else think its ridiculous that nobody talks about how the only quality thing Alan Moore has ever written is a complete rip off of Sirens of Jupiter?
>>62773442
>killing millions of people to stop a war that might happen (but never actually does IRL)
good plan
>>62773376
>>62773442
Fuck that Batman would bring that asshole in. Roarsach was right
>>62773456
>but never actually does IRL
Because he stopped it
>>62773290
Matthew Goddie is hot
>>62773471
A lot of superheroes would attempt to apprehend him, they're self righteous
>>62773456
Because he stopped the war
In the comic and the movie, the war was GOING to happen
Ozy-Mandy-iss
Ozy-Man-Dais
how do YOU say it bros?

oz-ey-mane-deus

ah zee man dee ahss
>>62773570
This is wrong. Check the wikipedia for correct pronunciation
>>62773628
This is correct
>>62773456
Think everything was a lot closer to full war because of the ramping Dr Manhattan caused the soviets to go through
>>62773513
It was going to happen because he cased off Dr Manhattan. He literally nuked the cities himself, too.
>>62773808
Manhattan was one the primary reasons war was going to happen in the first place. The Russians feared him and worried about what the US was going to do. Veidt realized that he needed A) Manhattan gone and B) Something to unify the world i.e. a bigger threat.
The war was going to happen. Both Veidt and Manhattan agreed on this.
>>62773290
>I'm not a comic book villain.
>literally a comic book villain
people take this garbage seriously?
>>62774188
That's the whole point of the comic, to subvert the usual superhero/comic book tropes.
>>62773456
what is hiroshima and nagasaki
>>62774216
but we were already at war for like 4 years, dumbfuck
>>62774256
still stopped an invasion from happening
>>62774216
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were designed to show the Japs they could not beat us.
Veidt's plan was to show us there is a bigger threat and fighting among ourselves is petty at best.
>fucking up America
>thinking you can change human because muh pacifism let's all hold hands together forever
>implying this will change the relations in the long run
>implying Rorschach's journal didn't come out to broad daylight
>implying he wasn't just a fool with Messiax complex and fragile ego
Glad Comedian tore him a new one.
>>62773302
Nuking New York was wrong whether or not it got results. I know you know this.
>>62774344
Veidt didn't advocate pacifism, he simply aimed our aggressiveness at a bigger unknown enemy.
>>62774374
>at a bigger unknown enemy
Yeah, because that will turn out well. People as a whole nitpick and debunk everything, you moron. They're not gonna shoot at angels.
>>62774188
>>62774202
In the comics he says he's not a "Republic serial villain". Republic being a movie studio that made saturday morning serials like Captain Marvel and Zorro. Nobody would understand the reference nowadays.
>>62774408
>They're not gonna shoot at angels.
If angels came to the US of A today we would shoot the shit out of them.
>>62774408
If we had evidence of angels and that they wanted to harm us then fuck yes we would.
>>62774421
it's the little things missing from the movie that made the comic great which makes the movie fall short in my eyes.
Moore was right, they should've never made a movie.

some people would
>>62774464
That's not the point. I mean that as in 'kids playing pretend, shooting at imaginary angels' way. People are not gonna focus on something that doesn't simply exist or is God fucking knows where in the universe, your bigger unknown enemy out the ass.
>>62774188
In the comic, the line is "I'm not a Republic serial villain."
In the movie it's "I'm not a comic book villain"
There's a clever distinction.
>>62774530
But that enemy just attacked us and destroyed several major cities. They are a clear and present danger.
>>62773290
The joke was that he actually was a comic book (republic serial) villain with a wacky backstory and batshit insane plan. The movie understandably downplayed that.
Maybe he should have said he's not a Bond villain. It's closer to "Republic serial villain", the meta joke is more classy, and people would understand.
>>62774546
Dr. Manhattan is the enemy? Omnipotent being that doesn't even look like to have been set up a good fake reasoning for these 'attacks'? Suuuure, it's gonna fall apart at all. Nothing schemy about it people, hurr people are dumber in my precious comic books.
>>62774576
It was an inside job
>>62774344
>Rorschach's journal
>Implying it would ever accomplish anything
It'd just be seen as crazy scribbles by crazy man and promptly discarded.
