watchmen was boring enough that i had to google ozymandias' plan to remind myself what it was. the character building was top notch, but the evil macguffin was a tale as old as time. but that demonstrates my point perfectly, dr. manhattan, the "good guy" was good because he did nothing, in the end he was moved to action to stop the bad guy but not to change society in any meaningful way except to preserve the status quo. ozymandias, the "bad guy" wanted to kill a load of people to foster a sense of unity across the earth. the quotation marks are to indicate intent on the part of the storytellers not a commentary of my own. the overarching propaganda is that to be good you must allow this society to continue on as it is without attempting to impede it in any way.
