Why didn't he just forcibly disarm the world's nuclear warheads?

Why didn't he just forcibly disarm the world's nuclear warheads?
If he can teleport to Mars, why couldn't he just teleport to the Soviet and American War Rooms and say "hey, stop that, or I'll explode you".

he didn't give a shit.

He was being a big baby.
After that accident he was on his period 24/7

Why kill Rorschach then?

Why would he? He did not care and worked for the American government. He did not intervene in any conflict unless asked and if he only did that to Russians then nuclear war happens. Yes he could have done superman 4 but he did not feel like bothering

He's trying to live like a human. He saw Comedian shoot that preg jap before it happened, but he still let it happen. He told Comedian not to do it, but only intervened as a human.

But at the same time doesn't give a flying fuck about anything. He couldn't care if everyone killed each other.

HE'S SICK OF THIS SHIT, HE LOVES IT, GUNNA BUILD LAURIE A HOUSE

>and if he only did that to Russians then nuclear war happens
How?

His character changes over the course of a story
Also holding the world hostage would not be something he wants to do

He knows humanity is a doomed and primitive species and there's no point in trying to save them

something about ozymemedias jamming his telepathic frequency of I remember correctly.

MAD theory
If he wanted to forcibly disarm the Russians the first thing they would do is launch all their nukes
Real life Soviet doctrine developed to make sure their nukes get launched no matter what happens to leadership if attacked

Stupid, sexy dr. manhatten.

he stooped giving a shit about humanity and it was too much work for something like that.

Because there is no story if he does that.

Didn't they have some throwaway line about how he couldn't stop all the nukes if he wanted too?

tachyon emitting satellites.

he had a tiny blue dick

I think if he did it once then he'd have to constantly do whenever they build a new one, again and again, unless he destroyed all the factories and labs etc etc it'd just keep going on and on.

>DUDE GOD DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT
Wow... shit's deep...
just wow...

Because the plot was to redirect the chain of hate towards a common enemy.Comedien knew that no matter how hard the heroes would try there would always be some sort of conflict among humans and Dr.Manhattan was just tired of this bullshit and asked himself why would he care?

Because he has the capability to do anything but is scared to do the wrong thing. He doesn't even know whether to punish or congratulate Ozymandias for what he did. He just gets the fuck out there, to some place where there are less variables to deal with.

>character literally clarifies that he is nothing like God if he really exist
>Butthurt morons still whine about it

That was the whole point of the scene letting the Comedian kill the Vietnamese prostitute.

>Why didn't he just forcibly disarm the world's nuclear warheads?

>brainlet can't comprehand tropes from a literal comic book
These hacks probably were going in a way of "Well god probably wonders is even a higher creature exists" kind of a thing.

Rorschach was a good friend and he wanted to die because he knew if he exposed Adrian, every sacrifice they've already done would be for nothing and world peace would end.

except they weren't because as mentioned they literally said they otherwise. but keep trying to smash a round peg into a square hole for your lowbrow theory.

For the same reason hat he didn't stop the assassination of JFK, or the pregnant Viet Cong slut from slashing The Comedian's face with a broken bottle, or stopping The Comedian from shooting said slut, or turning the bullets into flowers, the gun into steam or transporting the both of them to God Damn Australia.

if he disarmed all the russian nukes nothing would happen

and that reason is...?

because dude life is meaningless *reconstructs himself at the atomic level from being subtracted* god isn't real mortyschach *exposes blue penis*

Because his whole character arc is him learning that he does give a shit.
Rorschach's whole thing is that he was absolute in his values and that he refused to compromise, even in the face of Armageddon. Veidt's plan was a paradoxfor him, he doesn't want to support the lie, but he recognizes that revealing the plan would be even worse. He can't reconcile so he practically begs Manhattan to kill him so he doesn't have to face the decision.

He lives in an unescapable deterministic reality. He doesn't just see these events as happening (present tense) but he also sees them as having already happened, as well as always going to happen.
That's kind of his whole shtick.

because it's a stupid story based on a bunch of false premises

Read the comics.

He's not omnipotent. He can do amazing stuff, but usually only when he sees it, he cannot do several things at once over big distances. It was said that If Soviets launched all their ICBMs, he would be able to only stop 95% of them.

But Dr. Manhattan is a human being underneath all those powers. In the case of the Viet Cong slut, he reacted the same way a normal human would under the same situation.

Except he's a human as well. With his abilities, he could've made the rest of humanity like him, so that he wouldn't be alone. He could've easily replicated the process that made him Dr. Manhattan and mass produced gods.

To me, this was the greatest plot whole in the Watchmen. Moore didn't realize that an enlightened being would share divinity as would Jesus or the Buddha. Manhattan was no more a god, than a powerful ant.

Sounds like a millennial

>I can change almost anything, but I can't change human nature.

There.
