A God Walks Into Abar

  • Despite everything about how he perceives time, Jon comes to realize that he falls in love with Angela when she, knowing full well Jon's knowledge of the future is absolute and that he is doomed, decides to fight for him anyway.
  • The revelation of Philips and Crookshank's origin. They were a kind British couple that he met as a child who helped WWII refugees. He intruded on them during an intimate moment and rather than comply with the general societal and/or social expectations of the time, they take the time to reassure him and help him understand what he witnessed. In return, Jon - now Doctor Manhattan - makes clones of them as his Adam and Eve of his new ecosystem on Europa to keep his promise to them to "make something beautiful".

Peteypedia

  • One of Agent Petey's memos mentions that Will, who owns a movie theater in New York, started marathon screenings of the Blaxploitation film Sister Night in 2017, around the same time Angela took that same moniker as a masked cop. Despite not having any connection to Angela at the time, and only learning of her existence from Manhattan in 2009, Will kept tabs and was clearly proud of her.
  • The coda to the relationship between Will Reeves and Nelson Gardner/Captain Metropolis: Later in life Gardner recognized how racist he was at the time, and offered a heartfelt apology to Will along with making him the sole heir of his estate. Given Will is living in Gardner's house later in life, he seems to have reconciled on his side.
  • Petey’s absolute rage about the portrayal of Sally Jupiter’s sexual assault in American Hero Story both due to the revisionist history which seems to fetishize the material and the fact he makes a point to tell everyone in his memo to behave themselves towards Laurie after the broadcast. Despite him being a dork in the extreme, one gets the feeling that if anyone didn’t listen they would instantly become the most screwed person in the world, with the only question being whether Petey or Laurie would be the one to kill them.
