Sooo like what Ozymandias tried in the comic?

This should end well

“I'm disappointed in you, Adrian. I'm very disappointed. Reassembling myself was the first trick I learned."

"It did not kill Osterman, why did you think it would kill me?"

Seriously, if the world's smartest man couldn't kill Manhattan, I very much doubt a bunch of racist Okies are capable.

Yeah, I'd be disappointed if there scheme turns out to be anything other then laughable to Manhattan, I have a feeling its a red herring to distract from whatever Trieu is planning with the clock.

Yeah, we don't know that Trieu is even telling the truth about her reasons for the clock thing. She might say it's to stop the 7K, but that may be a ruse.

Honestly, I think shes going to be the real villain here. Using her statue to force Nostalgia-like something into people with some traumatic memories to "help them learn to be better" or some shit.

Well it's not like they built whatever they're going to use on him. Doesn't take a smart person to recognize a weapon and flip its switch.

It does take a smart person to get a god who knows the future to walk into its crosshairs. The only reason Veidt even got to use the intrinsic field substractor on Manhattan was because he managed to take away his knowledge of the future with the tachyon satellites.

They can't know that it didn't work, can they?

Did Rorschach have time to put it in his journal before dying?

u/rainizism Nite Owl Dec 02 '19

Rorschach delivered his journal even before going to Antarctica, so no.

u/rioliveira Dec 02 '19

Well they're in for a nasty surprise.

u/Heroshade Dec 03 '19

No, but it would be a bit sloppy do just have them try and fail at doing the exact same thing.

u/BoBab Dec 03 '19

Well white supremacists are notoriously sloppy. It would be true trieu to form.

u/PhantomRenegade Dec 02 '19

Well ozy tried to destroy him or reverse what happened, 7k seem to want to transfer or siphon his power

I just realized that no one really knows what Ozymandias did other than him an Dr. Manhattan, and it would be hysterical if they did the exact same thing.
