I love how Ozzy subverted the whole episodic comic villain trope
He wasn't going to be thwarted by a lack of planning or allowing the good guys to have a leg up or chance to win, he did his plan, and THEN he gloated, like a proper mastermind

[davidtijerina]

I never understood why Rorschach mask has an image of my parents fighting

[TheAngryAsianAnimations]

I remember when I first saw this scene.

"I'm not a comic book villain. Do you think I'd explain my plan if there was even the slightest chance you could affect the outcome."
Me: Said every comic book villain ever.
"I triggered it thirty five minutes ago."
Me: Oh...well that changes things.

[chrishubbard]

God I love that line. "I triggered it 35 minutes ago." Thats just the freaking best ever. Finally a movie villain who does it right. Its right up there with the bomb exploding when the timer hits 5 minutes. :p

[Apogee]

When he’s sitting there letting Night Owl punch his face in, you really understand how “big picture” Ozymandias was thinking. It doesn’t matter if an individual dies, it’s about world peace to him. He doesn’t care if he’s one of the “millions”

[RiggsBF]

Nite Owl: Killing millions
Ozymandias: To save billions

Thanos: That gives me an idea

[GoldenCrow]

Explaining your master plan after the fact. I always imagined a true villain would be like this but I never thought I'd see the day when writers actually implemented it.

[nadanadie]

I never will understand why this movie did not received nominations and awards, this is probably the best comic book movie.

[firered]

"I'm not a comic book villain." *Every reference to Ozymandias in the Watchmen comics disappears*

[Gwynarth]

"The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite."

[kirielvids]

As much as I wish the giant interdimensional squid had been a thing in this movie, the choice to frame Doctor Manhattan is a good one as well. I mean considering he goes along with it he knows that it's both best for humanity and it frees him to leave as no one will ever want his help anymore.

[jessedellross]

The moral dilemmas and implications of this scene and movie are astronomical.

Ozzy killed millions of lives….and yet he saved the world and all the rest. So that millions more could be born and live.

Does that make what he did right? No……and yes. Right and wrong is sometimes too simple. And this is one of those times.

Fantastic story and movie.

[angelr.]

The two victims that hugged before they went out....that's what gets me. Strangers embracing the unknown...unfortunately that was death for them.

[SorenDaein]

The one villain that DOESN'T make the typical blunder of shooting their mouth off about their plan before acting on it.

[ManaRawk]

I love that, while dedicated to his beliefs in his plan, as he explains it you can see the weight of his actions on his face. He's not all "I'm saving the world! Don't you understand?!" He knows it's sick, but he knew it needed to be done.

[FoxWolfWorld]

All of that, and yet Henry Kissinger still manages to be the most evil person in this scene

[grcgrim]

So it probably isn't that big of a moment to most but I really liked when the two guys who I assumed were complete strangers in their final moment hugged eachother for comfort not wanting to feel alone before the inevitable death they saw coming. Truly no hatred but fear and comfort in moments of pure humanity

[tylerwroblewski]

I love how depressing the realization of this scene is. We’ve been building up the entire movie for this moment as they’ve been bringing the team back together and traveling all the way to the poles to fight for the lives of millions. Then to finally reach there and have all that hope crushed in an instant when you realize that they lost before they even arrived. It really shows how unfair the world can be at times as there really was nothing they could have done, even for Rorschach’s death as none of them combined could stop Dr Manhattan from killing him.

[guillermovaccarezza]

I really like how they adapted the interdimentional plant thingy from the comicbook into the energy blast produced by Dr. Manhattan. It was a clever move that simplifies the plot while making it make more sense within the context of the story.

[IftiAlam]

Ozymandias is one of the greatest villains ever. My absolute supervillain of all time. Criminally underrated. Mathew Goode deserves so much appreciation for this.
