    The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.

        The trolly problem. I guess saving billions is better than a million, unless you and loved ones are in the million.

          You assume the trolley existed to begin with. There’s no guarantee that Ozymandias’ predictions were right. We’ve been there before, in real life, and turned it back. Nothing says that wouldn’t have happened in their world as well. That’s why he’s not actually a good guy…he took away the option to choose, and killed millions in the process.
