History WMG / Watchmen

* MemeticMutation over on [[ImageBoards /co/]] sees it as a Series/QuantumLeap scenario, Rorschach is constantly hopping from fictional world to fictional world, hoping the next leap will be the one home.

[[WMG: Watchmen is the prequel to EndersGame.]]

* The baby was transported to the regular {{DCU}} and became [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl| 2000}} Cassandra Cain]].

[[WMG: Watchmen is a fictional story written in TheDCU]]

[[WMG:Rorshack is Travis Bickle from the movie Taxi Driver.]]

[[WMG: Rorschach is also the Watchmen version of {{Samurai Jack}}.]]

[[WMG: The ''Watchmen'' Movie is actually the prequel to ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'']]

That's right, a few years after New York is vaporized, there will be mass sightings of shrieking skeletons and ghosts moving around. Their bodies would be composed of some sort of unstable glowing matter (people will call it ectoplasm) and they will be impossible to kill by normal means. Manhattan himself can be affected by tachyons and his body could be vaporized by IF energy... so maybe he could be 'pushed around' by things like particle beams, lasers, and energy containment grids. Thus, the Film/{{Ghostbusters}} will have to use particle accelerators and such to round up all the imperfect Manhattan ghosts and keep them contained somewhere before the learn how to nuke the Earth.

* TheMiddleman: TheMovie. Please let some Hollywood screenwriter be reading this.

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 [[{{Hellsing}} Alucard]], LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, at last one of [[Creator/HPLovecraft Elder Gods]], Manga/{{Akira}}, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Adam, Lilith]], [[Webcomic/{{Mindmistress}} Sisters of Twillight]], [[Series/TheTwilightZone Anthony Fremont]], {{Zalgo}}, [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Willow Rosenburg]] and many others.

[[WMG: Dr. Manhattan created the [[SoulCalibur Soul Swords]], and the entire Soul universe.]]

[[WMG: ''Watchmen'' is set in the ''RogueTrooper'' universe.]]

After his engineered peace he proceeded to unite the world politically even as he expanded his business empire over the entire Earth and into every industry. After essentially seizing control of the Earth he tried to keep the population happy and sedate. He succeeded in engineering a technological utopia that outlasted him. Some time after his death his company underwent a bout of re-branding and emerged with a new image. Unfortunately they didn't pay enough attention to environmental issues. The garbage piled up and the humans escaped into space. And then [[WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}} a single robot had to reverse the dramatic consequences of this mismanagement.]]

Assuming that [[spoiler: Ozymandias' peace didn't last.]] 1972 is pretty technologically advanced in PlanetOfTheApes too.

* PlanetOfTheApes is the far future of the Watchmen world. Dr. Manhattan is the reason why the astronauts had all that technology in 1972.

[[WMG: Rorschach is a [[JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac Waste Lock]]]]

** [[spoiler: Jossed, if you take BeforeWatchmen as canon.]]

* And of course, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim they were all gay for Veidt.]] Yes, even the women. Shut up.

* And of course, [[MemeticSexGod they were all gay for Veidt.]] Yes, even the women. Shut up.

* There are some many common characteristics: Their obsession with cleaning up the "filth" of the streets for instance.

Including this one, but especially DeconstructorFleet worlds like the [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined BSG]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion NGE]] 'verses. At some point managing all these worlds becomes too much, so he sends out the ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'' fighters to thin the herd. Once he's commenced JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope he creates the TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} universe to envelope everything, leaves the Chaos Gods (initially Order Gods) to manage things until it all gets completely out of hand, destroys the universe with another Big Bang and starts all over again.

[[WMG:''Watchmen'' is set in the alternate 1985 from ''[[Film/BackToTheFuture Back To The Future Part II]]''.]]

* The Golden Age Heroes exist in Film/BackToTheFuture verse as well, but simply fell out of favor in the 50s and there was no "Silver Age". However, the temporal paradox caused by old Biff giving young Biff the Almanac caused a flaw in reality which allowed Osterman (who would have other wise died) to come back as Manhattan, thus inspiring a new generation. The Temporal Paradox of Marty "coming back from the future" fixes this, and allows Osterman to die.
* The newspaper from BTTF 2 mentioning Nixon's fifth term says that Nixon "vows to end the Vietnam war by 1985", which means this is not the case.

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 [[SuzumiyaHaruhi 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.]]

** But that begs the question of why the world has suddenly gone from like it was at the end of Code Geass, which includes his little sister ruling the territory he would have gone to, the world of Watchmen?

[[WMG: Dr. Manhattan knew about Rorshach's journal]]

* Fact 2: Dr. Manhattan is nowhere near stupid enough to believe that Rorshach was stupid enough to go to Antarctica wihtout making preparations of some sort beforehand.

*** @/MacPhisto has Asperger Syndrome. He does not like the term "Aspie". Not that he feels victimized -- he just thinks it sounds stupid. That being said, while he does believe that Rorshach fell somewhere between Autism and Anti Social Personality Disorder, he did not have A.S. Doctor Manhattan, on the other hand, did not have A.S -- but Alan Moore certainly gave him the personality traits of someone who did.

**** I doubt Rorshach would be very active in the sack. He'd probably be paralyzed with fear during the process.

**** Just if you think that leaving Earth is the best way to mess with humans... And if you don't trust him as a reliable narrator we might as well say that Rorshach was the one that kidnapped the little girl and feed her to the dogs, that Veidt's was just a foil for Dan's masterplan (the real genius of the book because not even the audience found out) and that AsianBabyMama was hatching an Alien into her womb and The comedian saved humankind by killing her...

[[WMG: Rorshach isn't the only one making an accusation]]

[[WMG:Rorshach borrowed street drugs from the dealers he caught as painkillers.]]
And then one day he got a tainted batch, or just mixed up one white powder for another, and had a really bad trip in which he hallucinated a little girl's corpse torn apart by dogs, and what followed. It was on that day that Rorshach was truly born. And that's really why he keeps going after criminals; to hide his addiction (even from himself) under a storm of dead serial killers and rapists, when his real targets all along are those who-- inadvertantly and involuntarily-- keep him supplied. At one time, he was with-it and together enough to be invited to join a superteam, and spoke in complete sentences; now he hardly feels pain, neglects his hygeine, attacks with the strength of a madman, and believes his face was being torn off by police. And as the prison scene shows, he's [[BerserkButton even worse]] when he's in withdrawal...

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Even if people believe Rorshach's Diary, Veidt's plan still works.]]]]
[[spoiler: Veidt is "the world's smartest man." Isn't it possible that he'd plan for a contingency in which he would be exposed and, as such, recast himself as the enemy of all civilization in order to save humanity? His resources will permit him to begin a terrorist crusade against both the United States and the Soviet Union and he'll unite the world against a threat which he can maintain, unlike the one-time use of the cosmic horror bomb which masquerades as an alien invasion. Alternatively, Veidt planned and permitted himself to be exposed by Rorshach to set himself up as an enemy of humanity and Rorshach's extremist leanings mean that by the time the truth comes out, Veidt will have hidden himself away to begin his war. Yes, yes. Just like the [[Anime/CodeGeass Zero Requiem.]]]]

Its an elaborate ploy to throw people off his true intentions of world peace through destruction. Afterall, people are less likey to suspect a more feminine, swish man than a more "manly" guy. He might still be something of a metrosexual, with his hair and the rest of it. Notice how he shows much more masculinity at times, particularly in times of danger, when the act could be slipping.

** Its only Unfortunate because unfortunately thats how society thinks. Besides, this is WILD Mass Guessing.
