Why didn’t they just kill Ozymandias afterwards

what would have been the point?

Why do so many people not understand this story

Motherfucker caught a bullet
He would've kicked their shit in. Also there would be no point.

Because they tried, but failed.
Rorschach was dead. Dr Manhattan wanted to leave quickly. After NiteOwl and Silk Spectre had sex, he was already gone.

Snyder.

>what would have been the point?
Same reason Ozymandius killed the people that helped him+he deserved it.

Most people are stupid, user. That's just how it is.

Only Manhattan could have possibly killed him and he didn't want to.

It felt kind of contrived that Manhattan was fine with Ozymandias obliterating him a moment ago.

This, the only one who could take him was Jon and he didn't give a shit. Jon and Laurie also didn't give a shit, they agreed it was fucked up but the bottom line is he saved the world

Avenge the millions of people he just killed. Plus spite, so he doesn’t get to live in the new future he’s created.

He's just not a petty bitch. Kicking Ozzy's shit in one time was enough for him, and upon learning of his plan he got done with humanity as a whole and left.

Let’s try 5

John's whole thing is being indifferent to everything because seeing his past and future laid out in front of him took away his feeling of having any agency in his life.

>Avenge
>spite
Moore is not emotional enough to make his characters act on impulse alone. At least in Watchmen.

>Kicking Ozzy's shit in one time was enough for him
Except... he didn't, at all. Ozy was completely out-foxing Doc up until the newscast, after which Doc suddenly stopped wanting to kill him.

>the emotionally unstable omniscient guy had a conflicting feeling from one moment to another

But why was he trying to stop him to begin with?

I thought the whole ending was stupid.

>why does the guy who can see into the future and already knows what he's going to do do what he does?
