Happy circulatory system walking through the kitchen day for those who celebrate
Why does the circulatory system include the kidneys? Why does the brachial not split into ulnar/radial? Where are the hypogastrics or profunda? Why does the aorta go directly into the brain? Why do the carotids go out to the shoulders?
This hurts my brain the more I look at it
Akschually he was trying to assemble himself and was failing. So you could say that those are mistakes he made, because he was just learning.
But then again it's just a comic by someone who probably didn't do a full course on biology of the human circulatory system for one panel.
Where's the balls and the tip of the penis?
Why does the man who reassembles himself from atoms have to be bound by usual human physiology? Isn't he no longer man?
Because he is a fictional character and is more tightly bound by the rules of logic than real people are to maintain believability.
That and it shows the artist's laziness in not bothering to actually learn anatomy. It matters A LOT in art.
But he is no longer man, and that could very well be the intention being depicted here - it clearly looks very inhuman around the bones along with other respects you mentioned.
Your very criticism could be the point being made with Dr. Manhattan here. It could also be that there's no need for him to put himself together in what we would see as "the only way", since he sees all possibilities.
He is a fictional character. He is not at all bound by the rules of logic, that's insane.
No, you're just grasping at straws to justify ignoring a terrible mistake on the part of the artist.
Dr. Manhattan canonically still has the same skeleton and such. They never said in interviews such mistakes were intentional breadcrumb spreading; he's a deconstruction of a human with godlike powers and that's addressed with his thoughts, not his skeleton.
It's an artist's mistake. What have you got against people pointing out an artist's mistake?
I'm saying it doesn't have to be an artist's mistake though. It very well may be, and it's your right to argue for that. As art, it's my right to say you may not be right. You have no idea, I have no idea, the writer could very well have seen the art on the panel and made a smug comment.
Quite frankly, Dr. Manhattan being a now cosmic being experiencing all parts of life simultaneously - he doesn't need to reconstruct himself the way a human does. He is literally no longer human, why would he be bound by the same rules?
The kidneys are pretty important to the circulatory system, I think in this it makes more sense to include them than not. It is a comic book tho so I'm not expecting any scientific accuracy
This happens more than you might think
many such cases
100% probability based on evidence actually.
What comic is this from?
Watchmen
The music in the movie for this part was great.
Wasn't it Philip Glass's Pruit Igot?
I know it was Phillip Glass. I got his album because of this movie.
Oooooh, that was Phillip Glass? Great composer.
That reminds me, I still haven't watched Kooyanisqatsi, even though it seems to be available on YT
Kooyanisqatsi is wild, well worth watching. Probably on psychedelics.
And I just washed the floor!
There are circulatory systems screaming in terror seeing another circulatory system that's in the kitchen.
