Why did no on ever think about reversing the polarity of whatever the fuck it was that gave him his powers and turn it into a weapon? And why didn't the Soviets try to make their own version of him to keep up with the U.S? I'll tell you why, because he's a god forsaken mary sue in a movie with a plot resembling a 15 year old girls fanfiction.
There wouldn't be any conflict then. The story of Watchmen would suck if it was two supermen fighting each ohter for world supremecy. That is the stuff you'd find in fanfiction. The whole story of Watchmen is a character study on human nature and our weaknesses. Every character in the story has some flaw, with the exception of Hollis Mason.
Read the actual book before you smear it with such an insult like that. The novel is a master piece, and of course the movie didn't measure up to it. They never do.
