I like Watchmen but I dunno maybe the ending was better written during the Cold War when the story was new.
Because in real life the conflict between the USA and USSR sputtered out on its own.
So Ozymandias the world's smartest man believing mankind was doomed to nuclear war unless he sacrificed a portion of the population to a squid monster (that was actually just a guy he experimented on?) comes across as no better than
academics talking about made up abstract fearmongering like the doomsday clock.
!comicshitters Am I over or under thinking this?

Thats the point. Ozy is a fricking moron. His own "hero" mentality causes him to get such a savior complex he thinks the only way to save the world is his r-slurred plan he stole from an episode of the outer limits. !comicshitters

It's set in a fictional world. So maybe in that fictional world there would have been nuclear war. It's not that simple.
