00:00How do you convince an all-powerful glowing blue god to save the human race from extinction?
00:04You don't tell him we are good. You prove to him that we are impossible.
00:07This is Dr. Manhattan. He is sitting on Mars watching the Earth prepare for nuclear war.
00:10And he does not care. When you can see the subatomic particles of the universe.
00:14A living, breathing human being and a dead rock look exactly the same.
00:17He is completely indifferent to our survival.
00:19Down on Earth the missiles are ready to launch.
00:21And this is where humanity's last hope begins to fall apart.
00:23Lori begs him to save us. She cries, but a god doesn't care about tears.
00:27He forces her to look at her own buried trauma.
00:29She realizes her father was the man who once assaulted her mother.
00:32Her entire existence is the product of violence.
00:34Of two deeply broken people making a horrific mistake.
00:36She breaks down in the Martian dust.
00:38But the god stops. He looks at her. He doesn't see a tragedy.
00:41He sees a mathematical impossibility.
00:43From the absolute chaos of war and suffering.
00:45Against billions of impossible odds.
00:47Her specific life was formed.
00:49He realizes that humanity isn't beautiful because we are peaceful.
00:52We are beautiful because our existence defies all logic.
00:54It is a thermodynamic miracle.
00:56He decides to return to Earth.
00:57Not because we deserve to be saved.
00:59But because miracles are worth protecting.
01:01Full breakdown on Epic Lens.
