History WMG / Watchmen

[[WMG: Hooded Justice wasn't German, he was Russian, and [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3 Colonel Volgin's]] non-electric sibling.]]

For Rorschach, [=Ozymandias/Veidt=], and Hooded Justice, see above. For Silk Spectre I, see canon. Silk Specter II hasn't had the chance to have sex with anyone but Jon and Dan, since she has an aversion to cheating. Dan has a huge thing for Night Owl I. [[OddNameOut Nixon]] got a spiked drink during his third term, things got a little freaky. The Comedian is AnythingThatMoves, or would be if his machismo wasn't so outrageous, as evidenced by the nature of his taunting of Hooded Justice. [[OddNameOut Bubastis]] is AnythingThatMoves when in heat. And while Jon may have been straight or asexual, Manhattan himself is completely asexual, only having sex because [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble he would know he would have]] and because (if he actually did still care about even certain people, and wasn't just doing everything that he knew he would until the tachyon interference blocked his view) it made Laurie/his former wife happy.

Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}

After World War 3, [[ComicBook/VForVendetta Britain]] was left as one of the few remaining superpowers. Their [[Comicbook/{{Miracleman}} previous attempt]] at a super-soldier like Manhattan hadn't gone so well, so they [[ComicBook/VForVendetta tried again]] with a more down-to-earth approach.

* Actually, the tendency is for over-the-top stunts and special effects with the violence, but ''no blood''. Look at Film/TheDarkKnight. One of the scariest, most violent superhero movies out there. No blood. Ever. No blood in X-Men. No blood in Franchise/SpiderMan. The only one I can think of is Blade, and that's about vampires, so you ''can't'' really do it without blood. Also, 300, but that was the point. The stunts in Watchmen are "people fighting with fists and kicking" stunts, not the usual "dude dodges a helicopter blade using teleportation" stunts or "dude throws a dude through a concrete wall" stunts - ''superhero'' stunts. Other than Dr. Manhattan exploding people, which he does in a manner no more fantastic than the ordinary hand grenade, the stunts are simply ''not fantastic'' - that is, not fantasy-based. Also. The sex. When was the last time you saw a superhero movie with sex? They ARE deconstructing it, and they're doing it [[DarkerAndEdgier the same way the comic did]]. Unfortunately...

* The events in Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} took place ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway; the ''other'' Earth (the one we know and love) was a subconcious recreation of Dr. Manhattan's homeworld, with the events that led to his being removed by the Time Lords later. Dr. Manhattan created the Time Lords in a human image because he wanted creatures that both reminded him of his humanity and could understand the burden of existing beyond time. Dr. Manhattan has since reached enlightenment and withdrawn completely from existence, but his favorite child, [[Series/DoctorWho also called a doctor]], continues to do his work.

[[WMG: [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Rorschach is the Question]]]]

This could be; remember that Alan Moore retconned Comicbook/SwampThing into a creature who just ''thinks'' he used to be Alec Holland.

[[WMG: Dr. Manhattan created Comicbook/TheNewUniverse]]
Dr. Manhattan explicitly says he's going to go create some humans in a simpler galaxy. Comicbook/TheNewUniverse was billed as "the world outside your window," which had no supers or other cosmically unusual activities until [[MassEmpoweringEvent The White Event]]. ''Watchmen'' takes place in 1985 and the New Universe was created in 1986. Perhaps Dr. Manhattan came across the New Universe and enjoyed it for a while, but then decided that it was ''too'' simple.

He's travelling between worlds and either creates or enpowers from shadows many beings, trying to create perfect companion for him. Hoever, he's not happy with results of those experiments for some reasons and just left them live in their worlds, despite consequences. He's responsible for creating [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]], LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, at last one of [[Creator/HPLovecraft Elder Gods]], Manga/{{Akira}}, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Adam, Lilith]], [[Webcomic/{{Mindmistress}} Sisters of Twillight]], [[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 Anthony Fremont]], WebOriginal/{{Zalgo}}, [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Willow Rosenburg]] and many others.

While it may not look like this sometimes, we have to remember that "Doctor Manhattan", as we call him, is no longer truly a physical being. He is an omnipresent, nigh omnipotent(but not omniscient), bodiless "entity" that exists unbound by space and time. The smurf is just a physical avatar created for the human's convenience(Like [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato, but less cute]]). He(it?) is completely and utterly immortal, for all we know, at any given point in time experiences the entirety of his existence-past, present, and future. Billions of years mean nothing. He will still be there, floating in the quantum background of reality when the heat death happens and the universe turns into a cold, lightness void... for all of eternity. And he experiences every second of that eternity of loneliness and cold every moment of his life. No wonder the guy is emotionally detached. He already has/will have an [[TabletopGame/UnknownArmies infinite amount of failed checks on the Isolation track.]]

* In both book and film. SissyVillain Ozymandias in the film is essentially his version of RichIdiotWithNoDayJob. It tends to throw people off. (Partying with the Village People, too.)

*** I think I speak for everyone when I say that this WMG has gotten way out of hand even by Wiki/TVTropes laid-back standards.

We are giving the "idiot" in the "slush pile" way too much credit. Just because he was reaching for Rorschach's journal does not mean he will choose it. It could be rejected by the "idiot". It could be rejected by the author. It could be rejected as your typical tabloid trash by the general public. Just because it's there, doesn't mean it will amount to anything. For all we know, they'll just use it for firewood.

* Osterman makes a comment that his "resurrection" is really as simple as putting the pieces together in the right order -- a perspective he has because he had trained as a watch repairman. It's entirely likely that this detail escaped the Soviets, and their experiments seemingly failed not because they didn't create their own potential Doctors Manhattan, but because [[FridgeHorror their candidates survived]] but [[IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream couldn't reconstitute themselves.]]

In a sequel, we'll learn that Rick Astley's father once paid for a fling with Mrs. Kovacs while vacationing in America, and he later returned to reclaim his illegitimate son and raise him. The sequel will take place years after [[spoiler: the faked attack on New York]], in a future where [[spoiler: Adrian Veidt]] has been elected the leader of the new unified world government and controls it with a complex computer system. Rick will take up his fallen brother's mantle and use his deadly [[RickRoll viral video]] to bring down [[spoiler: Veidt]]'s computer network and avenge his brother.
