Holy shit, I never thought capeshit could be kino

I don't think I completely understood Ozymandia's master plan. Can someone give me the basic gestalt?

kill million

to save billion

5deep5you

create a common enemy between the united states and russians so they could work together to defeat it instead of killing each other and destroying the world

Give the people of earth a common enemy thus creating world peace?

Ozy's plan relies on a big explosion to scare people away from fighting ever again. However he seems to forget that history's previous big explosion, the a-bomb, did not in fact stop people from fighting. So Ozy is in fact a gigantic idiot.

NILES THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE

It's the only real CAPEKINO. Everything else is just memeing.

>trick manhatton into leaving earth by convincing him that his existence is killing killing innocents
>kill millions in a nuclear strike
>blame it on manhatton
>world stops fighting with the existence of a common enemy
>manhatton knew all along but decides to join Ozy anyway after it was all done

he wanted to save america by killing all the shitskins and kikes in new york. truly /ourguy/

Is he going to kill millions of people every time there is a global conflict? The problem with the ending is that he is naive. He claimed to be the smartest man in the world, but his plan is going to be out done by a journal.

Which makes zero sense, as only one of two outcomes can happen.

Either

A) They fail to ever kill Manhattan, in which case Manhattan has to regularly commit atrocities in order to keep the US and Russia motivated in trying to stop him

B) They fail to ever kill Manhattan, eventually he fucks off on his own accord and then the US and Russia go back to fighting each other

Let's throw in a bonus option.

C) They succeed in killing Manhattan, and then go back to fighting each other

In all scenarios the peace isn't sustainable. Ergo Ozzy is a retard.

fpbp

>Is he going to kill millions of people every time there is a global conflict?
A hostile enemy more powerful than mankind will force everyone to be together to survive

except you see by the end of the movie that they're already working together. There's no point to going back fighting after that.

remember when heroes season 1 used the exact same kill millions to save billions bullshit

That plan was to stop the current conflict that was sure to happen and would kill everyone, it was not to fix every single conflict in history.

That fact there was a cold war after WW2 proves that wrong. Also what is going to happen when people find out there there isn't a hostile enemy threatening mankind?

Make the US and USSR hate Manhattan so they focus on killing him rather than each other.
The plan is retarded and he's retarded.

Ozymandias was a pedo elite

Cue the egypt worship/cp/mass murder false flag

i can't believe that hack alan moore ripped off heroes.

That's his plan from the book.

You're right user!
The US and USSR never worked together before in their history!

Except that the Nazis were gone after WW@ the thing that forced the west and URSS to literally save each other asses.

dr manhattan was still out there.

Arguable.

No one has used an atomic bomb since due to the sheer horror of the first usage of the bomb. Humanity saw that and said "okay we can't let that happen to us our anyone near us ever"

But that's not even Ozy's plan anyway.

Why did Manhatten just destroy all the nukes on the planet and all the research for them?

Because he never destroyed anything at that level personally and cared very little for most of the story about the chance of conflict. His powers are replicated by Ozy. After Ozy's plan works he fucks off.

>Except that the Nazis were gone after WW@ the thing that forced the west and URSS to literally save each other asses.

What do you think is going to happen when after a few year nothing happens? Also why are you ignoring the ending of the movie? The public will know that Dr.Manhattan is no threat to the world.

Why didn't Manhattan leave as soon as he turned into a god? What reason does he have to participate in the story?

he couldn't. Nixon tried to persuade him to destroy all Soviet nukes but he couldn't and even if he destroyed 99%, the other 1% would be enough to kill everyone.

This movie is full of potholes. Why was Ozymandias powerful enough to to beat up Rorsarch and Night Owl and kill the comedian when his power is being super smart? Why was Rorsarch obssesed with his "face"? Why didn't manhattan foresee that Ozymandia's was going to use the nukes to blame him before he built them and the molecules impeded him from seeing the future?

Are you serious?

But in real life the US and the USSR didn't destroy the world. Veidt killed millions for nothing.

>What do you think is going to happen when after a few year nothing happens?
The plan was not to turn the world into an tutpia but to stop an imminent conflcit.
>Also why are you ignoring the ending of the movie? The public will know that Dr.Manhattan is no threat to the world.
It didn't show if the journal would really believe in the notes, also THE POINT of watchmen is that no plan is perfect, everyone got flaws and there is no "good" or "evil" choice

Dr. Manhattan is more or less a constant power that is above everything, so people would life in peace but also fear that something could happen, till time goes on to the point where they forget and leave the fear behind and the conflicts would start again. But this was a momentary solution anyway to stop the inevitable nuclear war that was about to happen, so Ozy could work out new solutions and at worse remind humanity again of the constant threat that is Dr. Manhattan.

This goes back to my original point. What is he going to do when there is another global conflict. You think desert storm isn't going to happen because of this?

If Dr. Manhattan was all-powerful why didn't he give himself the biggest dick on the planet? maybe that way Silk Spectre would have stayed with him, because he wasn't able to satisfy her with his 3 inch blue weiner

Ozymandias' plan was a product of the prevailing cold war idea that governments steer the course of humanity's social and ethical development. A common enemy of the Soviet Union and the USA would unite the world for mutual survival.

However, it ignores the reality that was revealed only after the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war. The social and ethical evolution of humanity is controlled by business and economic interests. The people of the world would never unite since businesses would lose trillions of dollars from a sustained peace. Defense contracts, development contracts, infrastructure contracts, etc. would nearly disappear as the world shifts to a new way of thinking. Economies would collapse, standards of living would drop, and the would would plunge into total anarchy.

Veidt's plan wasn't to avert every global conflict that occurred (see: Vietnam). It was to avert the nuclear war that the Watchmen world was headed to.

Veidt never cared about the other global conflicts, just the one that could lead to nuclear winter and human extinction.

Yes, that is what Manhattan tells Ozymandias after he agrees to let him get away with it and fleaves Earth. At least in the comic that is what happens. I dont remember if he says it in the movie because it was shit and ive forgotten everything about it.

Well it makes more sense in the comic because the common enemy is aliens and Manhattan fucks off to Mars so they wouldnt be able to kill him one way or another.

this

I think the face thing was to give himself a real identity while he considered himself during the day to be his "costume" (especially since he hated his past).

>just the one that could lead to nuclear winter and human extinction.

We also know that he was wrong on that one. We know how the cold war ends.

who isnt though. every famous person probably is in real life

The movie sucks. Graphic novel deals with all that. Tachyons inhibit Manhttan from seeing future, but even though he can see future, he can't change anything. The universe is deterministic to him, he can only pereceive time non-linearly.
Also Rorschach's "face" is his identity, just like Batman isn't Bruce Wayne in his mind, he's batman. He's a rip off of the question, so same idea in that his face is his identity. Also Ozy is supposed to be ubermensch, literally the pinnacle of athletics and intellect, idk why they chose a twink actor to play him

You're right. I just remembered the part where he says "Walter died on that day with the little girl'

the doomsday clock was far higher than in real life, it was almsot a what if the cold war heated.

It was extremely likely to end in war

The big enchilada is this. 6 million Jews had to die so that the World could be a cleaner and safer place. Kill millions. Save billions.

why would anyone want to fuck children when you can seduce every 10/10 supermodel with your wealth and power?

Ebin troll lel !!!

to stop an upcoming nuclear war
