Dr. Manhattan, is it so difficult to wear briefs?

I've not yet seen the movie but isn't he the large blue man? I would think that he doesn't need to wear underwear because well, he's not really there-he's a restored matter. (Not sure how to put it into words).

he does, when eh goes fighting, but i'm not bothered by him as much as i'm bothered by the rape scene or the love scenes, i can understand if dr. manhattan is too busy, but the 3 scenes are way over the top...

I think in this case... he feel that he is a higher being... and does not feel any shame about being naked... so no need to use underware... or any type of clothing... i haven't watched this movie... but i sure hope i will get the time this week...

Haha, most people were bothered by this but it's only natural when you think about it. The primary purpose of clothing is to make us warm. He doesn't need that. He said that he doesn't feel cold or warm anymore. After all, he walked on the surface of the sun. As demigod, he doesn't feel ashamed and always acts by logic anyway. In the beginning, he was wearing clothes and even superhero costume, but he abandoned them as the time passed. He only wears clothes at formal meetings.

i feel for you, it's like an unecessary part of the story. its like instead of concentrating on the movie, you cant help but be distracted. same with the love scenes and the uneeded gore, the watchmen has a lot of mature unimportant content that they shouldve removed.
