Dr. Manhattan’s Big Blue … Adventure

This article is over 15 years old and may contain outdated information

Been to see Watchmen yet? Had enough of Dr. Manhattan’s large, blue Dr. Johnson? No, no you haven’t – at least not yet. (Watchmen spoilers, NSFW)

*Video is somewhat NSFW*

If you’ve seen Watchmen (or read the comic), you’ll get the joke right away. If you haven’t – and don’t mind being spoiled – here’s the skinny: Dr. Manhattan, one of the story’s characters, goes around naked for most of the movie (and book). Manhattan is a rather large male whose skin glows a neon blue – henceforth, there’s quite a lot of big blue ding-dong throughout the film.

Some people apparently feel that Watchmen wasn’t wangtacular enough, though – and their video of a retro-style Watchmen game starring Manhattan in the vein of Streets of Rage … well, let’s just say that it serves to remind us that no matter how mediocre Watchmen: The End Is Nigh was, it could always be worse.

Really, I think the video says it all. The video says more than enough, actually. Just remember, when you’re watching Dr. Manhattan cross laser-schlongs with the similarly-neon Jolly Green Giant, think about it: Somebody actually took the time to animate all of this. Their hard work (rock-hard, perhaps?) is our gain … well, a kind of gain.

I guess we know who’ll be making a guest appearance in the next GTA IV DLC pack, hmm?
