As somebody on another forum said when the Doom movie came out, "They only needed to get two things right. Mars and Demons. The movie has neither." The movie mostly attempts to cover about 25 years of history, from Jon Osterman (Dr. Manhattan's) conversion around 1960 to the "present" of 1985, but with a few flashbacks to the "Minutemen" days of 1939-1949. So, for example... the Comedian guns down his pregnant (and presumably teenaged) "girlfriend" in 1971, and jacks 12-gauge rounds into that rioting crowd in 1977 (and just for the record, I don't know what Snyder was thinking having him firing that Mossberg indiscriminately into the crowd, that's not in the original)... but his scene crying in front of Moloch Headroom is 1985 (and just for the record, I think that scene works a little better in the graphic novel after you've read the intricate plot that Veidt had concocted and how the Comedian actually stumbled across it. In the movie, there's really no indication of how the Comedian actually could have known anything about their version of Veidt's plot, so it does lose something). Similarly, Laurie first meets Doc M. in 1966 (the same time she first meets Dan Dreiberg), and so has almost twenty years to get tired of his non-human act. OK, yeah, she jumps into bed with Dan a little prematurely, and then seems a bit eager to "get her ass to Mars" with Jon later; but I've always felt that the first can be excused by her "sleeping with an H-bomb" for almost twenty years, and watching him drift away from humanity the whole time, and the second can be excused by the fact that, hey, she has spent twenty years with him and can't quite bring herself to throw that all away just yet (especially when she thinks that he can save the world single-handedly).
