Couldn't he have, you know, undone Veidt's whole plan and turned the world's nukes into confetti without really breaking a sweat?
He didn't want to.

No, because Veidt used tachyon generators to block John's future vision. He also couldn't unlevel those cities and unkill those people, so he just went with the plan because going against it would invalidate millions of deaths and likely trigger WWIII.

Yes, he could have done anything he wanted including recreating all things destroyed. While it wouldn't be turning back time, he could reset everything so that it really appears to have been turned back in time.
He just isn't very imaginative and has lots of preexisting self loathing.
Remember, an author can't write a character smarter than himself.

Manhattan can't resurrect people, and reconstructing a city block would be difficult if not impossible for him. The only time he materializes or changes shit, it's shit he knows how to make or understand.

he didn't care, it's all insignificant to him
He stopped giving a fuck about normies

He can do it, it would just take a long damn time. Also, it isn't resurrecting, its reconstructing people. He has all the time he needs to learn anything. He just doesn't care or doesn't have the imagination for it.

This, it already took him weeks to learn how to remake himself. He's not omniscient.

You can if you take time to rigorously think things through that a smart person might think of much more quickly. You can also consult with others for outside perspectives.

That reminds me, is Pamperchu still alive?
I remember that guy getting cancer last year.

No, he can't resurrect people.
>It's irrelevant, a live human body and a deceased human body have the same number of particles. Structurally there's no difference.
This, along with exemplifying Jon's alienation from humanity, also shows that while he could likely reconstruct a body, he couldn't give it life again, the lack of a living soul is something that makes no difference to him. If Jon could resurrect people, why not resurrect the Vietnamese hooker the Comedian killed?

It is called "shitty writing".
