So his cosmic awareness erodes his humanity, but he is still enough of a dude to leave his wife for a 16 year old?

I never got that part of the book,not nit picking juste confused about how Dr Manhatten works.

I'm guessing that last part of his humanity that he was still clinging on for awhile was the basic need for love and affection even if it meant cheating on your wife for someone more younger and hotter

>Alan Moore in charge of not being a pedophile

It's amazing how many straight up pedophilic shot happens in his books mostly Providence

Yes, his humanity got eroded OVER TIME as symbolised by him wearing less and less clothes.

Back then, he was still mostly clothed=mostly human.

>16
>pedophile
hollywood really screws with people's perception of age of consent around the world

IN AMERICA

Dr. Manhattan is a weird and confusing character.

He is constantly aware of everything that happens in time, is able to do anything, but he is literally imprisoned by his own narrative.

How much of what he does is because he actually wants to do it and how much is because his 'character' does that.

He is aware of his actions in his timeline, actions that might be performed as if he wasn't aware of time, and forced to act out those actions even as he is aware of the future choices he will make.

Its confusing and there are a few ways to look at it.

Americans with American values.
Weird.

being a Lovecraftian horror sucks

If you're over 30 and trying to bone a 16 year old you should really reconsider your life and what choices led you to this.

It makes so much more sense when you realize that it's all just a metaphor for a midlife crisis and the resulting depression. Midlife crises are all about realizing how meaningless everything is.

What if you're a 16 year old that is trying to bone a 30 year old?

You should also seriously reconsider your choices, because you'll probably end up more damaged by that relationship than the 30 year old.

It's not like he went from human to no humanity overnight. It was a gradual degradation. The point of him slowly wearing less and less clothes was to show that. The more clothes he wore, the more "humanity" he had. That's why he started in a full body suit, then lost the sleeves, then lost the shirt, then lost the pants, until he was fully naked. This happened when he was in his "sleeveless" phase to show that he hadn't lost all of his humanity yet.

the power of boners is stronger
never underestimate it

it was fated to be, he sees the future and that's what happens into his future

Like Amy Adams' character in Arrival.

I think all the fledgling Chads you hear about who've banged the hot teacher have a different opinion on that.

Notice how he is wearing a shirt in this shot, whereas later in the comic he forgoes it. He still had humanity and emotion in him, it just eroded

In 31 States, 16 is perfectly legal. In earlier days (way back n the 1920s) it could be way lower.

So, American Values.

99% of them are lying. Most women wouldn't do it with a guy who doesn't even know how to eat pussy yet. There are a few, sure, but there's a reason why women gravitate towards experienced men.

Nigger, if you're over 30 and you have the option of getting some prime 16-year-old cunny, you're going to take it.

He has no societal values, just intellectual and biological ones.

Manipulating a 16 yo girl into having sex with you using money or a position of power is wrong and should be combated, but there's a huge difference between a 16yo girl in this situation and a 16yo WOMAN who lusts for older man. Also, both cases aren't pedophilia. Most woman are perfectly healthy and emotionally prepared for sex and motherhood way before 16, but of course, since people develops differently, we accept this 16yo as a good margin and always respect the girls will of doing it or waiting for when she's feels it's the right moment

>Most women wouldn't do it with a guy who doesn't even know how to eat pussy yet
So, no black guys, then?
