The whole Dr Manhattan plan could've blown up at his face though if he took it personally and killed everyone.

I do kind of like the squid ending because it's supposed to be something completely unexpected and unbelievable that governments would actually believe it's an alien. They could've foreshadowed it a bit better but I like the weirdness of it.

I like the TV show fleshing out the squid thing more. I think the movie ending was fine for the time though.

I remember recommending the movie to people and being told "you should have warned me there was blue penis" by one person. And then he went on to say "blue penis" at random times when he saw me. I don't know how he would have reacted if there was a giant alien psychic squid attack

I saw that movie and recommended it, with a caveat. I said, "It's a great movie, but there's a lot of big blue schlong. If that's a problem for you, you won't enjoy it. If it isn't, it's a great show."

"If that's a problem for you, you missed the message."

Seriously. If that's a problem for you, maybe put in some work and join the rest of us in adulthood soon.
