Only discuss the setting of Dr. Lower Manhattan
The motivations of the two villains in the show depend heavily on their "worship" of this aspect of Manhattan's omnipotence. The brain-dead senator took the traditional route, a bit like the villain national teacher in Aladdin's lamp who wanted to become an almighty elf. Zhao Wei started from a "goodwill" point of view. When she confessed in the last episode, she mainly said that Manhattan should have done so much but it didn't. In the previous episodes, she also said that nostalgia pills were produced, hoping that people would overcome the bad memory before; The anthropomorphic flaws may just lie in the comparison of mechanics.
More importantly, these all rely on "masking" Manhattan, and his abilities. If you don't admit this, it seems difficult to take the actions of the two villains seriously. Then, on the other hand, of course dissonance arises. Should Manhattan be such an instrumental image? The drama version of Manhattan did not provide any memorable lines in the play except for the time-travel. In addition to possibly expressing the theme of love rocks
Manhattan seems to be a high-level existence to the people in the play, but Manhattan quits it himself. After "exchanging" love for 10 years, he finally accepts the latter of to be or not to be. This seems to be a Manhattan described from the perspective of "with great power comes great responsibility", a role from a "utilitarian perspective". And I don't think it's a living character. In one detail, when the "energy transmission" was finally received, there were a total of 3 close-ups of Zhao Yu and the crucifixion wood carving together (the last cross was dropped). I guess Writer Lim meant to say that no one is a "savior". But just because the writers simply "dogmatize" even religious symbols, I think that's the problem with the whole show.
On the one hand, I refer to the image of Manhattan in the original book and the movie, of course, the man who changed his cold heart because of Laurie's fate. Secondly, it also refers to the image of Manhattan in volume 10 of "Doomsday Bell".
Also in memory of the early active but deregistered teacher Ghaw in the Watchmen group, who criticized the show for being wrong since the e1 in October. I think he's right now. Although I still think e1 is the best in the show. However, it was not until the end that it was discovered that the real archie was hidden deep in the South Pole, not the mass-produced one in the e1.
Join the Watchmen You Valve group at the earliest. At that time, the group was less crowded and more lively, because e1's racial controversy was relatively strong, and because there were some talented people, there were some heated discussions in the group. In China, at least for me, there are few confrontational discussions except for disputes with leaders that leave room for them. This is of course the tragedy of your country. But fortunately at the beginning, the show brought me back to a public place in the era of web 1.0 that I hadn't experienced before
