It was created as an actual SaturdayMorningCartoon by Veidt Enterprises, made in the late 80s to lighten up the kids following the 11/2 incident, and to [[MerchandiseDriven promote the toys]] of course. The squid monster was made the BigBad on the show for the sake of ObviouslyEvil (same way Nazis are automatically villains). The [[DirtyCommunists Russians are the villains]] due to the [[WhyWeAreBummedCommunismFell Cold War still lingering in people's mind despite its end]]. Other obvious changes are made to make it appropriate for kids; notable being making the Comedian and Silk Spectre lovers (and presumably [[CompositeCharacter combined both Silk Spectres]]) because people noticed how close they seem in real life, unaware they're father and daughter).

[[WMG: Season 2 will deal with the aftermath of Veidt's exposure.]]
Once again, leading to the fear of a potential war between the USA and the Soviet Union. It might also lead to the rise of new vigilantes, who'll try to do their part in making the world better; Laurie would be one against it of course, [[LikeFatherLikeSon comparing it to "playin' cowboys and Indians"]].

[[WMG: A few members of the Kalvary escaped.]]
It doesn't matter to them if they were {{Unwitting Pawn}}s, they still believe in their purpose. Discovering that a Vietnamese played them all only further convince them of their goal to make white Americans the masters. But without their leaders, they can't do much except their usual racist stuff, and eventually they'll all get arrested and the Kalvary is put down for good. This might be the b-story arc of season 2's main arc.

[[WMG: Looking Glass will personally arrest Renee.]]

[[WMG: Laurie will be jealous of Angela for marrying [[spoiler:Dr. Manhattan]]]]

[[WMG: Will Reeves was given, and ate, a ‘Manhattan Egg’]]
I was waiting patiently for the reveal but it never came. Will says he and Jon helped each other; what if that means Will helped Jon and Jon reciprocated by passing him a copy of his powers? That would explain why Will has lived so long, is very fit and healthy for his age and can do various seemingly impossible feats (including escaping handcuffs and putting his hand in boiling water). Given Jon knew his whole timeline, it makes sense he would plan for his powers to pass on.

[[spoiler:Reeves]] may have deliberately tracked down a member of the organization he is fighting against, both in an attempt to cover his tracks as Hooded Justice as well as disposing another member of Cyclops. Either he killed Muller outright or he incapacitated him and had him wear his costume, leaving him to the [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork tender mercies of the Comedian]] (who was speculated by some people including Veidt to have killed Hooded Justice).

[[WMG: The series takes place after the event of ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'']]
The comic series is going to end with someone fiddling with Dr. Manhattan's personal timeline so that he meets Abar, which [[LoveRedeems reminds him of his humanity]]; thanks to Jon being a NonLinearCharacter, this means that when he becomes aware of the DC Universe he decides it would be unethical and unpredictable to meddle with it, and this ends up [[RetGone unmaking]] all the chaos that he caused by interfering with alternate universes.

"A God Walks into Abar" makes it clear that the scenes with Veidt on Europa are not concurrent with the rest of the series rather than flashbacks taking place years ago. That episode also shows that Veidt hates the fact that the world hasn't become the utopia he envisioned. On top of that, he finds out Dr, Manhattan was able to create an utopia on Europa. So sometime before 2019 he manages to escape Europa and starts to manipulate the 7th Kavalry towards stealing Jon's powers, which he intends to use to make Earth his personal utopia. This would explain how the 7th Kavalry knows Cal is Jon, as the only people aware of that fact are Angela, Will, and Adrian himself. Senator Keene is either Veidt's patsy, or he ''is'' Veidt, who has used cloning technology to assume Keene's identity.

* We know from the obituary in the first Peteypedia cache that Veidt's company was involved in cloning human pets, thus he no doubt used cloning technology to create the house staff at his castle. That same obituary states that Veidt wanted to propagate a transhumanist ideology in which people submitted to the will of enlightened superbeings, but the now-technophobic public rejected this idea. It stands to reason that Veidt's ultimate plan involves creating a new race of superbeings that can compete with or supplant Doctor Manhattan, and gain control of the world in the process. Veidt's cloned servants were probably a failed prototypical version of this plan.

* As mentioned in the WMG above, Will can break out of handcuffs, pick eggs out of boiling water, and in general is in remarkably good physical condition for a 105-year-old man. Also, when he gets almost lynched in the 1940s, we see his bare neck right after the attack, and there's no bruises at all. It doesn't seem like his years of crimefighting have left him with any permanent injuries or scars either, even though we see him routinely engage in brutal fistfights. In the Minutemen press conference, one of the reporters outright states that he is rumoured to have super-strength. This is treated as a silly urban legend, but what if it's true?
