Watchmen what to say to sound intelligent when discussing (or so I think it may) 2.

So it seems I could say, at first it seemed annoying that the blue character Dr Mahatten, kept changing size; he was a giant first time seen, I thought he was like a large statue. I know realise that changing size was one of his superpowers. The superpowers that also make him blue.

Though still not certain,  I would have engaged with it much as have tried reading synopsis on internet and it just seems to be random nonesensical words.
