This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He was a manipulative mass murderer, and his scheme couldn't last, but I respect a hot take.

Ozymandias was an idiot. He pushed the world to the brink of nuclear war and then caused a massive explosion in New York under the assumption that the US government would calmly and methodically investigate the wreckage instead of just assuming that the war had already started and launching a counterattack. The only reason his plan worked was because he was a fictional character in a story who's author was as big of an idiot as he was.

In the movie it was a nuclear explosion made to look like Dr Manhattan caused it. In the comic book, it was an alien invasion that brought humanity together.

The TV series follows the comic's premise and ignores the events of the movie.
