Saw this theory elsewhere, Mr. Phillips and Ms. Crookshanks are actually clones of the real...

Jon (Dr. Manhattan) and Janey

:ohhh:

Also, the actor who plays Mr. Phillips is also listed as

Dr. Manhattan

THATS BEEN A THEORY IN THIS THREAD
SINCE EPISODE 2.

The Truth
This show is soooo superior to the Snyder version it’s not even funny. His movie and his vision looking funny in the light:mjgrin:


The VISUALS of that squid was amazing:wow:

Glad to see a real director and visionary that’s not afraid to take risk:blessed:


All this and we not gonna even need an extended cut or directors cut to improve or make it better in the end. They doing it right the first time:ehh:
You stay on this stupid stan war bullshyt.

It’s been amazing watching last nights episode of Mr Robot then following it up with this new episode Watchmen. We really in the golden age of television :wow:

The Mandalorian too right now... I get that it ain't for everyone but the idea that we are getting movie budget episodes of a TV show is insane. :whew:

I guess that technically started with Game of Thrones

#We Are The Flash #DOOMSET #LukeCageSet #NEWLWO
Fun fact: Jeremy Irons survived Metoo

I don’t recall ever hearing anything about him getting #metoo’d or anyone coming for him so that’s wild:russ:

I remember from the previews they showed that scene of a guy in a suit walking the streets of what I thought was a carnival.... who picks up a mask and has a blue hand, so I thought this was the ep they was gonna finally show Dr. Manhattan.

They probably gonna keep that in the pocket for like the last ep or 2, but I can’t wait to see that. They doing a great job building the suspense

The mandalorian is heat so far. Just wish the episodes were longer.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Rewatching again, I love how things ar win plain sight


The sheriff was strung up by Will and was down with the Rorschach crew. That means lady t is also against them. And who else would be against them? Ozy. And since she’s the only one who could have that money to have a satellite out there, she, and will, are on his side

that still leaves dr Manhattan. But I can’t believe he’d kill Rorschach then side with his crew and the senator. Seems they are the bad guys in this.

then again will does the tick tock thing. So could they all be together? Or was he saying it as a troll because they’re his enemy


Guess we find out next ep.

Changing the ending from Squid to Manhattan not only proved the lack of understanding for what the ending was supposed to accomplish in providing a threat to unite under (you can't do that with Manhattan. He's damn near a god. No amount of uniting from US/USSR saves anyone), but the fact that he felt like it wouldn't make sense just shows the failings of the movie.
It actually makes perfect sense. Dr. Manhattan indiscriminately killing millions around the globe does serve to unite the world. Uniting to fight apparent invading aliens works for as long as it takes until it seems said invaders have been defeated. A god raining down hell as two superpowers are on the brink of mutually assured destruction plays towards fear being a united force and also a somewhat religious morality. "God is punishing us", can serve to accomplish a more lasting peace. God can choose to punish us whenever he feels we get out of line. That's why the squid showers in the show make so much sense. It's a prolonged reminder of the "alien threat". Moore's ending was perfect, but Snyder's ending definitely works.

Your reasoning makes no sense. After America got the bomb people didn’t think of uniting around us, it became an arms race.

Dr Manhattan was coded as American. Destroying NY would be seen as America turning on itself. And weakened. More like Civil War 2.

Dr. Manhattan was framed as having caused his own friends/countryman to get cancer merely by his existence. His angry reaction and, relocating to Mars directly after, severed any link to being merely an American weapon. Veidt orchestrates the fake Dr. Manhattan attacks on the globe and the rest is history. Even if that didn't happen, Veidt's attacks happened worldwide, so how would it be a second Civil War?

Stop the Snyder slander. :birdman:

He went straight by the novel outside of the squid.

Even this shyt didn't show how the squid wrecked shop. But it was good. Snyder used a more realistic scenario which I had no problem with. He Coulda tried to pull off the squid though :mjcry:
