$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Doomaholic', 'a')t the end of watchmen, i thought it was kind of interesting how all the rebuilding projects had Veidt all over it, so even if that guy did a good job of unifying the world and stopping a nuclear holocaust by bombing major cities, he got rich in the process
they should come out with an illuminati movie, akin to the good shepherd
Exactly, even if the ends did justify the means, which they never do, his actual ends were security and additional wealth for himself not the betterment of all mankind as he was posturing it to be.
Dr. Manhatten had lots of options in the movie, and yet almost every time he either chose not to act at all, or to act by squashing whatever person was opposing him. Notable examples, he did nothing when the Comic killed the pregnant woman in Viet Nam, he accepted the premise that Veidt was doing what was best for humanity. Worst of all he slaughtered Viet Namese soldiers fighting against the USA and Rorchak when he could have disarmed them or put them somewhere that they could not cause trouble from. AT the very least with his powers he could have disarmed and attempted to convince them not to fight him because they could not win against him. Instead he took the most brutal course of action. With his power to move things he could take all the weapons and ammunition and even put the bad guys directly into POW camps in the USA. For Rorshak he could have put him in the Mars dome where he was talking to his soon to be ex wife where he would have been safe but unable to communicate what he knew, instead he literally turned him inside out and splattered his remains all over the snow.
