NOKW - Watchmen

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Watchmen

Basic Plot:  The graphic novel of the same name is brought to the big screen showing a world where Nixon is still president (kind of like Futurama) in the 80's and costumed vigilantes are considered normal.  Also, there is a blue guy who has blue dong.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that the blue guy, Dr. Manhattan, is not like a god but is literally god, he can grow in size, split into numerous copies of himself with each individual being able to operate on its own, take apart and destroy things with his mind, superhuman strength, teleportation, telekinesis, and he lives in the past, present, and future all at the same time, in other words, he is what you would picture god to be.  The fact that Rorschach's color-shifting mask is never explained.  The fact that the Nite Owl's flying spaceship-like thing defies all logic.  The fact that Silk Spectre's costume is the most uncomfortable looking thing ever (not that I'm complaining).  The fact that Ozymandias is considered the smartest man in the world but leaves the password to his computer on his desk.  The fact that the movie followed the graphic novel fairly accurately except for the big reveal at the end of the movie.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that Ozymandias's plan to unite the world and stave off nuclear war revolved around  blocking Dr. Manhattan's god powers so that the doc couldn't see what he was doing, but when he finally found out about it, he was okay with it.  So, basically Ozymandias could have just gone straight to Dr. Manhattan from the start and told him what he was doing and then Ozy wouldn't have had to secretly give people cancer and hide everything from the blue doctor and a lot of this whole mess could have been avoided.  The only problem with his plan was that a couple of the main characters wouldn't have been cool with it, but the only one that could have stopped him was perfectly fine with it and saw the logic behind uniting the world against him in order to stop the world from killing itself.  In other words, he could have just told Dr. Manhattan and saved quite a few people's lives.  Hell, the glowing doctor could have even helped Ozymandias with his plan and Ozy wouldn't have had to murder The Comedian which got Rorschach, Nite Owl, and Silk Spectre involved and everyone wouldn't have known a thing about the plan which was what Ozy was trying to do in the first place.  I am not okay with.

"Can you even consider yourself a costumed hero when the guy standing next to you can make you explode?  Yeah, Dr. Manhattan actually does make someone explode at one point."
