    Honestly Dr.manhattan was kinda dumb. “Oh I need to stop humanity from nuking itself” meanwhile I demonstrate easy ability to travel to other planets.

    Doctor Manhattan’s ability to save the human race wasn’t the issue. He was basically a god. It was his willingness. He didn’t feel the need to stop humanity doing anything:

    A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?

      I have no idea tmhow to quote things. But dude that last part is such a shit take. There’s no structural difference between my phone as with a full charge and my phone without, why do I care, because it’s fucking dead.

        The point is he’s so far beyond humanity that he doesn’t care. He relates less with humans than you do with your phone.
