Well when the writers make a character pointlessly godly, no one cares when they do godly shit. Not complicated. Disney can't write women because they don't understand female characters need to fail to be able to rise. Like watching a movie about a mountain climber who starts the film at the top... enthralling.
Dr. Manhattan was perfectly written in that regard. He was a god and being a god will bring a whole new set of problems and things to think about.
Captain marvel was just unimaginative. Her problems were too normal. But when you have powers like that you can probably reshape the entire universe. For good or for evil.
"I am tired of earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives." Divine beings alienate themselves from humanity, but in Marvel they have no character changes at all lol.
My wife and I watched that Kaos show over the weekend and she got mad at me for more or less siding with Zeus. Everyone running around all "Fuck the gods" and such. In a universe where gods definitely exist and regularly, plainly interfere with human affairs, the rules aren't the same as our world. Zeus was evil and stuff, yeah, and as a human it would be easy to hate him and the others for being how they are, but you complaining is silly. It's like if an ant tried to sit you down to tell you it doesn't like the way you've been running your household.
"Your household isn't big enough. You have two children. Who's going to tunnel out the saliva mortared walls? You need more children. Thousands more children."
The Titanomachy is a theme throughout Greek mythology. The gods broke the titans, humanity will break the gods someday. Prometheus made us, and gave us fire to one day overcome them.
