Let me summarize the plot of Dr. Manhattan these days.
There are two key points: first, Dr. Manhattan and Jonathan Osterman, who has obtained "divine power", are two sides of the same body. Dr. Manhattan is a god, Jonathan is a human, and humans will die. Now it's time for Jonathan's death.
Second, Dr. Manhattan is above many rules, but cannot violate the law of cause and effect.
Because Jonathan was destined to die of old age near 2013, in 1993, he chose the ending of "falling in love with Angela and being loved by her".
We are going to die anyway, why not die in a more meaningful way?
Use death to complete a crazy love.
And the reason why he died at the hands of the cavalry on the night of December 22 was because he wanted to fall in love with Angela while she was saving him through "encountering an irreversible crisis."
To put it bluntly, he needs to put himself into a death crisis before he can fall in love with a black aunt.
In 1993, he chose the result of falling in love with Aunt Angela in 2013, so he had to expose his identity in the White Night incident, so he let the Tachyon bomb kill him.
It's not that he's being pretentious - well, he's quite pretentious, he needs to complete the chain of cause and effect.
If the cavalry had not surrounded him with tachyon cannons in 2013, he would not have fallen in love with Angela. If he had not fallen in love with Angela in 2013, he would not have fallen in love with her and gotten married in 1093 - because his time perspective is different from normal.
People are different.
For a normal person, yesterday he was a hero and saved a beautiful girl. Today they are in love, but tomorrow they have no feelings for each other.
Dr. Manhattan is above time, 2013 and 1993 are not sequential, they exist at the same time, so he can fall in love with her in 2013, and then maintain his love for her for 20 years from 1993 to 2013 - well
, thanks to Pharaoh's memory blocker.
It is precisely because Harley understood the above two points that she was able to plan the author as a person in the book.
Of course, if she had no cheats, she would have been clicked by the author the moment she revealed herself to be a virus. Once Harley absorbed the power of Manhattan, she immediately changed from a person in the book to another reader.
Finally, let’s talk about the American drama “Watchmen”. It seems that the online reviews of it are polarized.
Some people think it is a masterpiece, some people think it is garbage.
I have to say, it's a masterpiece.
After watching American TV series for decades, it is rare to see a TV series with such a high level of completion.
It's just that the threshold is a bit high. It's not that the theory is difficult and requires a high IQ - that's nonsense. The main reason is that the relationship between the characters is complicated.
Even if I have seen the movie "Watchmen", I still can't figure out the characters in it because many of the characters are from the "militia".
Need to read comics.
In addition to confusion about the characters, there is also confusion about the theme.
When many people see "Watchmen", they immediately think of science fiction or a high-definition dark hero film - in fact, it is neither. It is neither a science fiction film nor a superhero film that explores human nature. Likewise, it is not
Black equality drama - although both male and female pig feet are black.
It is actually an ugly version of "Titanic".
A pure love drama.
Everything in the play is paving the way for the love of a black Manhattan couple.
Even the ending is similar. The male protagonist dies in the arms of the female protagonist for love, and the female protagonist gets the male protagonist’s blessing. In the original play, Angela gets the power of Manhattan to realize her dream of a superhero.
The casting of male and female protagonists in the drama are all very good. There are no good-looking men or beautiful women, but they are both ugly and frustrating... Well, I am not being ironic, they have to be ugly to stay in the drama, because the male and female protagonists love each other.
It's not the other person's appearance, but the beautiful and kind heart.
For example, Black Manhattan told Aunt Angela: I fell in love with you because of this moment.
If Angela were a beautiful woman like Silky, or a pretty lolita like 15-year-old Laurie, his words would be very unconvincing.
It's just that Angela has a bad figure and looks, so his words seem to be true.
Similarly, black Manhattans cannot be too handsome.
In fact, the black bodies in Manhattan in the play were found.
Literally, I picked up a random appearance and identity in the morgue.
Very ordinary.
And the Pharaoh sealed Dr. Manhattan's abilities and memories.
In this way, Karl, who has no appearance and no ability, becomes a real ordinary person.
Angela has loved him for twenty years, and is even willing to fight for him. She really just loves him as a person, not for his appearance or cool abilities or noble status.
