Why on earth would Dr Manhattan killing 2 million Americans cause peace? He was a war tool of the American government.

It is, on a basic level, the same end point.

Dr. Manhattan attacks both sides, killing millions.

As I said, the general outcome of both movie and GN is that humanity unites through fear of a common foe, all based on a massive lie.

Does it deliver as well as the GN? No, but the general message is the same.

There is no hope. He can't be defeated. The squid could be defeated.

I didn't really think of that. Yea, it does hurt the end theme.

I don't think it ruins the movie though.
