[@Kill2Hard101]

Alan Moore made me love comics. He did things that others were too afraid to try. Now they all mimic his style and copy his work.

[@celticwolff5429]

I like how The Simpsons had a "Lost Girls" poster behind him. One of his more (Moore?) obscure works.

[@jashanwariach535]

you forget the killing joke !

[@DJNLdabest]

Imagine if Alan Moore could recouncile with DC, and produce amazing DC stories again. But I guess it would never happen...

[@waywardlaser]

I still think the Watchmen film adaptation is great. Not flawless but still damn good. No regrets.

[@TheSweetestCurse]

it's a shallow on-screen reproduction of a comic written and drawn specifically to never be adaptable. but, sure, it's okay.

I thought the movie was depressing. Book is a different experience. Better.

[@waywardlaser]

Tone Hunter Lol the book is depressing too. Not saying the movie is better I'm just saying I enjoyed it.

[@cha5]

The comic is more poignant and nostalgic than the movie ever was for me and there's something of a poetry to it that and a possibility of hope even at the end with the possibility of the doomsday clock being reset. Even when Moore and Gibbons took a scalpel to the concept of the superhero throughout Watchmen you can tell they have a fondness and affection for that same concept. The movie comes up short in that regards to the above for me.

[@zacharyflanders2116]

Alan Moore is probably my favorite writer of all time but I'm positive we wouldn't get along and I have no interest in meeting him in person. Probably the only person I admire that I feel I can say that about

[@travantemora9413]

Moore really looks like a fucking wizard.

[@Caomhmc]

Travante Mora *Correction Alan Moore is a chaos Wizard.

[@IAmSleekZ12]

No, He look like freaking Rob zombie

[@ryanoseguera1207]

Is it weird for me to say that whenever I read a swamp thing comic I hear his voice when reading st’s dialogue?

[@kylehasstyle138]

Great vid as always

[@Fascistbeast]

This guy is a comic legend 👍

[@user-it6qf1uy4t]

no!! this guy is a legend period

[@oranginator]

Him alongside Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Bryan Lee O'Malley (Scott Pilgrim Series) is among my favorite comic book writers of all time. Fucking genius

[@baciu14]

well of course they dont have any of the universe resets and bullshit deaths and inevitable resurection that plague the mainstream comics

[@volkitolkitorino]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@jamesmoss3424]

Alan Moore is cool. 😀👍

[@cyberpunkholiday]

He has always had an idea about him.

[@CthulhuChow]

wonder how many ppl got a nasty lil surprise when they googled Lost Girls? lol

[@ErikPT]

I'd love to see Lovecraft interact with Moore.

[@jaytheartman610]

Only problem with that, Lovecraft has been dead since like the 20s

[@willmarin2810]

i loved Watchmen film adaptation

[@Abhishek-ql3qu]

You forgot the killing joke

[@maniamixgamer7281]

Is that alein giving the middel finger

[@badzpalacio3843]

So he's a slytherin.

[@alecholland5618]

I HAVE to ask. Does Paul Ritchey of Continue? narrate this show? Your narrator sounds exactly the same.

[@jakzilla95]

Yeah he does :)

[@alecholland5618]

Source?

[@ContinueShow]

It's me! Can I be the source? - Paul

[@alecholland5618]

Continue? I'll accept it.

[@_invinciboy_8569]

Do invincible

[@samwilson4870]

Fuck man, Hagrid let himself go.

[@AnirbanDeshmukh]

Do Neil Gaiman.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

i loved v for vendetta and watchmen movies. havent read watchmen but i did read v for vendetta and i can see some of the stuff missing was just watered down in the film to make the rating R and not X

[@joeblaster8770]

LSD not a surprise.

[@AnimePFP]

The Watchmen movies were great

[@AnimePFP]

+Brick Tamland Nah, just one. I didn't realise I made it sound like there was more than one

[@giotio1237]

I know how many times the comic industry fucks with authors comics

[@zacroper3577]

"terrible movie adaptations" that's quite the overstatement.

[@2HackFrauds]

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Constantine, V for Vendetta and pretty much every other Moore adaptation bar Watchmen is not worth anyone's time, in my opinion.

[@StudioInkblot]

Constantine doesn't really count. It's based on the series about the character he created, but he didn't touch the series.

[@ratman9220]

some of them might be decent movies but they fail as adaptations since, at least from the ones I've seen (Killing Joke, V for Vendetta, Watchmen,) they invariably and entirely miss the point of the original stories.

[@Dj_Real_Eyes_Open]

i know that alan moore hates the comic book industry

[@TheSweetestCurse]

just the big 2

[@jakebryant3445]

That's understandable though and he has my respect because he's a Damn good writer

[@oldgit4260]

he might hate them but he's made his name and probably alot of money through them...

[@TheSweetestCurse]

Tone Hunter he doesn't care about accolades OR money.

[@Kill2Hard101]

Can you blame him? He got robbed big time.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

He hates Marvel especially

[@jakebryant3445]

I thought he hates DC more

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Jake Bryant nope he gave DC his best work

[@jakebryant3445]

But DC screwed him over a lot of times(See DC Rebirth)

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Jake Bryant Marvel screwed over Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. That's what big corporations do.

[@cha5]

Well with a big corporation that has had about as much business ethics as the mafia much of the time (which was what the comic book industry was founded by) big surprise. These days Moore hates both DC and Marvel by the way pretty equally, although he certainly worked a longer time at DC. As for his best work? Outside of Watchmen a large percentage of that is outside of a mainstream company like DC these days.

[@krsj5124]

I know Alan Moore would be irked you didn't mention any of his comic work from the past ten years. Also he HATES the Big 2.

[@oldmanlogan9616]

Everyboy knows that Watchbabies is a much better story than Watchmen... Thats kinda basic.

[@vikumdharmsena4372]

GRANT MORRISON > ALAN MOORE!

[@ANIpJs]

Vikum Dharmsena Warren Ellis > Grant Morrison> Alan Moore.

[@Kill2Hard101]

Vikum Dharmsena Thats blasphemy! Morrison has based his whole style on Alan Moore!!

[@gabbar51ngh]

@@Kill2Hard101 Morrison actually likes superheroes though.

[@Kill2Hard101]

@@gabbar51ngh Yeah he also likes critical race theory too 🤡. Alan Moore is disgruntle after being burned by the industry....don't compare him to a boot licker who created Obama Superman!
