"...but in today's society a larger and larger number is from some kind of collective group think of idiocy and hatefulness. Then it gets perpetuated by the fact they think they've formed some new kind of family."

Like in an uncanny valley way?

It's a piece of art, and art is about the artist's choices, their implications, and what they mean to other people. I'm not implying that teenagers wearing hoodies did not attack him or never attack anyone, or implying that his experience wasn't scary - I'm saying that crafting a story where troubled urban youth are…

"You do realize that an overwhelming majority of meth users are white...right?"

Granted, his method was fairly obviously doomed. You tend not to destroy superheroes by making them relive their origin story.

What is a "complete family life"? And why don't people feel that men don't need them but women are incomplete without them?

"Dr. Manhattan is an American agent, it doesn't matter if it also "attacked" America the rest of the world would still be pissed."

Thanks!
