He was in the wrong.

no shit

Wrong things for the right reason. This kind of question is something you'd see in an entry level philosophy course.

>>92486369
Nope. Wrong for the wrong reasons. His plan would never work under any circumstances.

It doesn't matter if it would have worked or not. His motivation was selfless and therefore it was for the right reason.

>>92486419
The question isn't if his plan would have worked. That is entirely irrelevant to the question of his intentions. His intention was what amounts to a global scale trolley problem, and he chose to pull the lever, but what you're saying is that there's no guarantee that no one would be on the tracks later on.

>>92486419
Elaborate

Of course
This shit literally the point of the whole "Ozymandias" theme retard

It only would have delayed Doomsday.

Sure, they would work together for a short period of time, but after less then a decade of no more alien sightings, they'd be at each other's throats again. This time it would be worse because they'd also be arguing over who'd get to have control of Earth's defenses.

Not to mention, most humans act irrationally when threatened.

Ah, my bad.

He did what he did because Dr Manhattan was too autistic to stop him.
He was also too autistic to fix the nucler problem by himself on the first place.

Dr Manhattan pretends to not cares about humanity but accepted to works for the USA, came with the intention to stop Ozzy after changing of opinion noticing the come back of the status quo if he stopped him, for finally saying "I don't gaves a shit anyway, you're too complicated, i'm leaving for another galaxy".
the only explanation here are that he sees the future and what will happens next, that's why he did nothing, this is fucking stupid knowing he's not forced at all to obey at it and could changes it.

We'll yeah, he was a grown man having wet fantasies about being a Egyptian pharaoh who killed everyone in New York and Everyone else who could've tied it to him

>His motivation was selfless and therefore it was for the right reason.
So a serial killer who just wants to kill as many people as possible to solve overpopulation's motive would be selfless, and they'd be doing the wrong thing for the right reason?

Ozzy was a fucking mad man with a God complex.

Time is an incredibly valuable resource to Veidt. Perhaps he can come up with a more permanent solution to the nuclear crisis in the years he delayed the war. He made a gigantic psychic alien in less time, who knows how much another one of his schemes could accomplish. Of course he might fail but from his perspective the certain survival of humanity is something worth putting his genius, and immense wealth towards.

>>92486369
what question?

>>92487321
The serial killer can not possibly have an effect on the over population, all of the death he caused would be for naught. Ozzy's deaths actually had a tangible effect, nuclear war was delayed for at least a few years.

>>92487256
And then bragged about it to his old bar buddies.

I don't think I've seen anyone talk about Watchmen through the "Why hasn't Reed Richards cured cancer" lens. It's a nice take to consider

i say this and it kinda goes to what

>>92487321
are saying with a serial killer. These kind of huge events are too much for one person to do. and the thing that makes Manhattan change his mind is the miracle of a single person. it's kind of a fuck you to the great man of history idea
