As much as I'm hesitant to say it, the space squid isn't really.. believable. It's a perfect ending in the GN, with enough back story and explanation to make it plausible, but there really isn't any way they could have fit it into the movie. Frankly, it makes Veidt look a little naive, because one "alien" attack on New York wouldn't necessarily end the Cold War. It's possible, that the Soviet Union would recognize that we were no longer in a position to attack, and that they, too, might be victims of an extraterrestrial attack, but it is unlikely. However, if they believed that Dr. Manhattan, a solid, tangible, proven force attacked many cities across the globe, well. That certainly seems to be more of a motivation to get your act together, shape up, and try to "play nice" at least for a while.

As much as I miss the squid (I'm an alien fan), I have to agree with Ami-Kae. The movie sets it up perfectly to frame Manhattan, whereas the graphic novel is a little more expansive in back story and allows for the extraterrestrial's existence.

I totally agree. I remember thinking how the new ending fits more into the movie and is more movie-like and less comics-like. I loved it biggrin .

I agree with Ami-Kai. Squid wasn't believable at all. Was the only thing in Watchmen that disappointed me.
