>>89124951>>89125021Lauri was the most human and normal of the cast, its why she was paired off with Manhattan for a lot of the book.
>>89125711>Adrian feels like a real person given godlike powersHell no. The whole point of Watchmen was that in real life comic book solutions are only thought of by the mentally unwell to cover their insecurities.
Adrian was arguably even more fucked up then Rorschach, and its rather disturbing that a lot of people don't pick up on that.
We're talking about a guy whos solution to the Cold War isn't detante but "lets drop a psychic squid on Manhattan and pretend its an alien invasion so the world will unite in fear of a fictional enemy."
You know why Laurie and Dan read sort of like they're forcing themselves to be happy and the last thing Laurie says is that she's thinking about buying a gun? It's because they're the only people alive that know the secret, and they know Veidt fucking killed anyone else that was in on it from the artist who made the squid to his own fuckboi servants.
It's supposed to be obvious that his "fix" to the cold war is no more a good idea than any of the ideas the superheroes had to fix crime or fix America. It's stupid, its laughable it's a joke.
You're supposed to laugh at Adrian.
