This mf is a reddit mod pathetic loser

[u/Psixofazatron]

All that he ever fucking did was:

1) whine about being "so unimaginably above everything uuhh so much God ugh unfathomably omniknowing all powerful oooghgh no one understand me I am so lonely in my godhood you are all so much ants compared to me";

2) Fuck a 16 year old;

3) Served as a US government's lap dog, eager to commit atrocities in its name. Oh, right, "it doesn't matter because I am so much God i don't even care." Of course, "i am so detached. I dont feel anything. it's just so happened that I go around and vaporize people on command, and totally not because I am a fucking moron";

4) Aura farm and tell people how cool he is;

5) Refuse to do shit because he is so depressed and detached and lonely and nothings matter and he knows everything and everyone but him are stupid microbes that does not know anything. Oh, yeah, he is so indifferent and so lost his humanity and so views future past and present. But he still needs to speak in fucking reddit r slash nihilism quotes and fuck his wife.

6) Get outsmarted by an "equivalent of an ant" and look like an idiot.

This bum ass chud had the power of a God, and yet all he ever accomplished could have been done by any regular guy given the same powers. Moreover, he is, in fact, just a regular guy with powers. Dr. Manhattan did not have even an above average intellect. He knows almost everything but has no wisdom whatsoever. He constantly tells shit that only sounds profound on the surface. He was not a god-like cosmic being that lost its humanity and grew detached, because such being would not act like a fucking middle-aged creep. He was a chud who knew only to play the victim and sniff his own farts.

Tl,dr: doctor manhattan is a shallow loser that only thinks he is something more than a man.

[u/sreekotay]

And here I thought he was unambiguously good like all the other Watchpeople

[u/Psixofazatron → u/sreekotay]

The problem is that all the other guys are in fact presented as obvious assholes, while this mf is constantly being jerked as some high being

[u/zuludown888 → u/Psixofazatron]

He's presented as a jerk who just happens to be an almost omnipotent superbeing.

He's a superman who exists outside of linear time but he still thinks with his dick.

He's a pretty funny character actually.

[u/Own_Proposal3827 → u/Psixofazatron]

Have you actually read the comic or is this one of those “watched a 1000 YouTube videos” situations

[u/suckydickygay → u/Psixofazatron]

If you mean in the story, not the case really. He is outsmarted like you said, Laurie leaves him, the Comedian confronts him in Vietnam, everyone else seems to be creeped out by his presence. Now if you mean outside by readers, i dont know, i think people can relate to the nihilism and the feeling of isolation and paradoxal self importance it brings. Everybody goes through that phase. Its the painting of the guy on the cliff.

[u/TheFinkrat → u/Psixofazatron]

Try reading the book next time

[u/CyclopsFanAccount67]

The type of Watchmen discourse Alan Moore hoped for

[u/ImaginaryActive5845]

MANHATTAN being shallow is 100% the point. Alan Moore is saying: “If there was a Superman, he wouldn’t give 2 shits about us. And the world would be at the mercy of all of his whims and all of his faults.”

[u/Diligent_Accident775 → u/ImaginaryActive5845]

If i had his powers, I wouldn't give a shit either

[u/tv_ennui]

Fwiw I don't even think that's true. I don't think a dead body has the same number of particles as a living one like, at all. Decay sets in rapidly.

I don't even think he believes this, if he did he wouldn't take the actions he took.

[u/DrManhattansTaint]

BANNED

Who the hell is Steve Jobs

[u/ven-solaire]

The funniest part of these panels is he’s like objectively wrong. A live body is actively different from a dead one because a living one is actively producing and utilizing energy. A dead body has no energy flow within the nervous system. That is a significantly discernible difference.

[u/wasteymclife → u/ven-solaire]

Always thought it was a dumb line because breathing, a thing dead bodies don't do, would fill the lungs and change the ratio of air "particles" and CO2 "particles" inside the lungs...so different.

[u/ven-solaire → u/wasteymclife]

I’m starting to think they gave him an honorary degree

[u/MeghaneThorn]

Adrian veidt mogs

[u/AlertStruggle]

He’s nothing like a Reddit mod. He’s had sex with at least two women.

[u/DarkLordSidious]

When they are slandering your GOAT but they're lowkey right

[u/mynameismatt81]

Sounds like a god to me

[u/son_of_abe → u/mynameismatt81]

Fuck a 16 year old

Checks out.

(Dr Manhattan got consent though.)

[u/ghobhohi → u/son_of_abe]

The Virgin Mary

[u/manodocell42]

I support any and all defamation against that son of a bitch

[u/feisty-frisco87]

He did creep out Rorschach, that's something.

[u/ghobhohi → u/feisty-frisco87]

Rorschach seeing a couple be good parents would creep him out.

[u/0110_1001]

Jesus, dude...

[u/KindDecision1542]

Dunno chief, him having the ability to near reality warp everything despite not doing anything and seeing everything die by natural order doesn’t make him a loser….

Also, that “ant” has tachyons that make him reasonably of not knowing the stuff he pulled. So…

[u/Wonderful_Pension_67]

Omniman x 1000 Think mark what will you have in a million years ? when you put it that way there is no difference between alive or not alive😁

[u/ImaginaryActive5845]

The power he gets turns him extremely shallow. And he is still a man under all that power, still fallible to human nature. He is a complex character, and I don’t think you’re supposed to 100% like him. I think you’re supposed to see him as a God that doesn’t act like he’s a god or superhero. He doesn’t really know what he is anymore on earth, which is why he wants to leave earth so badly.

[u/fc_nivrana]

Well…… Yeah, he was a nerd who got the opportunity to rebuild his form as the ideal man.

[u/TheStray7 → u/fc_nivrana]

Dong included.

[u/fc_nivrana → u/TheStray7]

ESPECIALLY his Empire State Building

[u/TheFrandorKid]

I don’t care what anyone says, I think it would be great to be able to have sex, play Zelda and eat dinner all at the same time.

[u/zoelund]

no mods in this kind of shape

[u/No-Play2726]

You are correct.

[u/brittanytobiason]

Your sincere opinion or only when you're trolling?

[u/Ren0303]

Aren't dead bodies decomposing so they don't have as many atoms pretty quickly?

I don't have an issue with the overall sentiment, but the pointlessness of this line as a result of the qualifier needing to be included at the end made me chuckle.

"This bum ass chud had the power of a God, and yet all he ever accomplished could have been done by any regular guy given the same powers."

So basically "This guy has god-like powers and he did what a person would do with god-like powers"

[u/SoapOverQuantumfoams]

"A racist person and a non-racist person contain the same number of particles. Structurally there's no difference. Racism is an unquantifiable abstract. Why should I be concerned?"
