Ozymandias watchmen comic6/18/2023 ![]() How do you hate on the US for going to war with the messed up Taliban? Or, how do you say getting Osama bin Laden was a bad thing? Because it broke another nation's trust? Well. Nuke an enemy city to safe your troops or stave off WWIII? Sure! Ozy is America the state in so many ways. ![]() Topple a regime by doing every evil spy thing in the book? Sure. No evil is off the board if it's in the service of fighting evil. The government that does wrong and even horrible things, but at times at least, for the right reasons. But the very doing that they do will be a step too far, it'll hurt and cause pain and create problems. Backed with our nuclear arsenal, we could go in and take down a government and tell folks to get in line. So many tyrants to topple, so many corrupt regimes in the world. He's never done enough in the story because the US could always do so much more. All the amazing things we can do and achieve all in one person. Manhattan is US's nuclear/scientific power. A lot of Americans have done really corrupt things because they don't idolize the state/laws and so it's okay to break things.ĭr. Doesn't trust the government, companies, the media, questions everything, thinks cops are corrupt, but still believes in a certain sense of justice. ![]() Regardless of our opinions around that right wing movement, this is someone who doesn't trust. The liberterian vein that has made up Trump supporters. Rorshach is very much a rank and file person, almost rural America. Manhattan are all 3 separate iterations of the United States, all three have really good parts and all three have really screwed up negative traits too. Though I think he's a pretty gray character for sure. His story is pretty much the same but there's passion which is really nice. And that earns him a unique little space in the gallery of extremely intelligent superheroes who use brains over brawns atleast for me because well it's such a better explaination than 'I possess the gift of knowledge and hence I owe it to the world to use it for their welfare'. Which kinda puts an interesting light about knowledge being a struggle for him. He didn't see knowledge as a gift or a curse but in reality he chose to be different and maybe everyone chooses all these little things that are special about them. I don't know why but I love that little detail which makes everything so unique. Veidt as a response intentionally brought in average grade for the rest of his life to escape the suspicion of him being any different. I think when he was a kid he turned out to be an absolute genius and his parents were confused because they weren't really remarkable so it couldn't be genetic.
