Honestly Dr.manhattan was kinda dumb. “Oh I need to stop humanity from nuking itself” meanwhile I demonstrate easy ability to travel to other planets. Meaning I coooooooould of made humanity interplanetary, which would greatly reduce the likelihood of any humanity killing apocalypse.
So I’d get human colonies on the Moon, Mars and maybe Venus. Then focus on unfucking the Earths biosphere. Then focus on eliminating world hunger and bringing a higher standard of living to all mankind.
Then I’d fuck off to space and let humanity kind figure it out knowing they proooooobably won’t kill themselves anymore.

Doctor Manhattan’s ability to save the human race wasn’t the issue. He was basically a god. It was his willingness. He didn’t feel the need to stop humanity doing anything:
A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?
I have no idea tmhow to quote things. But dude that last part is such a shit take. There’s no structural difference between my phone as with a full charge and my phone without, why do I care, because it’s fucking dead.
They’re unquantifiable to us. Manhattan had a brain the size of a planet; certainly he could have answered the riddle of “what defines life.” That part bothered me.

The point is he’s so far beyond humanity that he doesn’t care. He relates less with humans than you do with your phone.

But you’re right, his problem was attitude.
