Status Updates From Watchmen

It’s pretty jarring in issue #3 how inhuman Dr Manhattan is. Despite trying to be “human” with romantic relationships, it’s clear that he is more concerned with other things. He is emotionally unavailable, and it’s not quite clear whether or not he even has emotions as we think about them.

It’s weird. It shouldn’t be, since he clearly is not human. But it’s unlike how alien heroes are usually shown

Fascinating how we almost expect anyone with the label “superhero” to have certain human aspects, even if it is quite clear that they are not human.

Superman and Martian Manhunter are both aliens and are different from humanity in a lot of ways. However, we expect the writers to keep them compassionate and understanding and generally human.

This is my new personality

A lot of the characters are really intertwined with the story and the backstory has been fleshed out and the book really goes in depth on the emotions and feelings of each character. the book is very fleshed out with lots of small details that you have to pay attention to to notice.
