Spoiler for spoilers:
The monster probably also would not have translated as well onto the big screen. And I actually like the idea of Dr. Manhattan being the fake "ultimate evil". Instead of people uniting to fight aliens, they're uniting to be good little boys and girls so basically God doesn't come down from the heavens to lay waste to the world. Which IMO makes the heroes' decision to keep the truth a secret even more morally problematic.


Edit: lol@ arguing that a movie one-upped Alan Moore in his own comic while using an Alan Moore avatar.
Lol. Considering I've sat and watched a six hour movie because they stayed pretty faithful to the book, I wouldn't mind it being longer.
