>>83225438Ozy's characterization was absolute shit no matter what you think of the film. Him not giving his friends loving smiles and talking to them sensibly was a big issue with his characterization.
Ozy's not meant to be the villain, he's meant to be morally ambiguies.
Also the squid was essential for three reasons.
1. It furthered the deconstruction of cape deconstruction
2. Getting the nations of the Earth to band together works better this way
3. Dr. Manhattan shouldn't be feared that way, it misses the point of him being a god who's above his human roots.
Rorshach was more badass than creepy in the movie. He's supposed to be a rightwing nutjob who has no semblance of social skills.
I still liked the movie, but it did miss the point of some of the main characters even in the extended cut.
