Thorin's Side - The Magic of Moore (Influences)

[@DarkDare47]

'Reflections' with Alan Moore. I can only hope.

[@ESRohner]

Dude, why not?

[@DarkDare47]

I haven't seen long interviews with Alan Moore in the pass few years, so I don't expect him to do one.

[@XTheJaws]

There are actually a lot since "Jerusalem" got released. Most of them are podcasts however and not videos. Highly recommend the two part interview "Someone who isn't me". www.acast.com/someonewhoisntme/episode12-alanmoore-pt.1- www.acast.com/someonewhoisntme/episode12-alanmoore-pt.2-

Hey Thorin, I am studying Anglistics in Germany and in our culture class we are reading and discussing V for Vendetta. I wasnt much into comics, except Asterix when i was younger and your perspective really helped me getting a grasp on what I have in front of me. Thanks a lot!!!

[@oldgit4260]

he is great, he wrote me a foreword recently for my book, such a generous and kind man as well as a great writer

38:00 I have never read comics, but I've decided to start reading them. This point in particular is something I value greatly. I read manga and is a huge fan of One Piece. Any reader would agree with me on this point, that Oda is fantastic at this. One Piece has run almost every week (40 issues of 20 pages a year on average) for 20 years now, and still Oda reveals things he has planned for 10 years or more. In the first chapter there is an event that was only explained 11 years later. It was clear that he had planned what it was, but also that it obviously changed a bit in nature over time. There is also a very important character introduced in 2010 who was foreshadowed 11 years earlier. Things like these are common with Oda and One Piece, which just blows your mind once you realise it. I look forward to experience comics. I'll start with Thorin's recommendations, so thanks for the, as always, outstanding videos on the topic!

I fucking love Alan Moore. The man should be an inspiration to everyone even if you don't like comics.

[@OpticalResonator]

Also a completely genius "DC era" Alan Moore story comics fans should check out is "In Blackest Night" from Green Lantern Corps Annual #3. It's about a green lantern tasked with going to a planet in the deepest blackest lightless space to enlist a new green lantern from an alien race there. The ring translates the the sounds it makes, but it can't translate any word that has to color or light or any visual description which the aliens have no concept of. So to induct this new member she has to completely re-think and re-write the oath through sound analogy. It's fucking brilliant.

Alan Moore's captain britain comic is underrated in my opinion, it is seriously good.

[@2012luscious]

And here I was excited because I thought Thorn would talk about the Philosopher Thomas Moore.

[@spncrgrn]

Thorin have you read any of William Gibson's novels? The Peripheral, his newest, and the Sprawl trilogy would be right up your alley if you haven't already. I'd love to hear a video on his work but thanks so much for this one, Moore is a god

[@Xavyer13]

Great insights

[@fspbanana1]

i would love too see you do some videos about films and your thoughts on your favourite films

[@OpticalResonator]

I also really like Alan Moore and think he is the best, great video. My comics writers Mount Rushmore is: Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Brian K Vaughn, and Si Spurrier (Can be swapped for Grant Morrison but Si is just getting started)

[@therealxtremekarma]

Would you ever consider making a video about chess champions/getting into chess yourself? Really interesting meta, especially when you consider the differences between the moves a human would make versus those a computer would. A good topic would even be how computers could be used in more freeform sports like CS to improve decision-making and predict enemy strategies.

[@TheElectriczil]

Makes me want to read comics

[@hristo.bogdanov]

@1:52 that moment when you realize that your favorite serious youtuber is actually younger than you...

[@markw110]

I'd say Harvey Pekar, Alan Moore, Frank Miller (*visually speaking), and Osamu Tezuka are the best storytellers in comics. Really in no particular order...Will Eisner gets an honorable mention too

[@NiklasRi]

At first i thought of Michael Moore...

[@darynx]

That Top Ten idea makes me think of No Hero Academia

[@Votum123]

Thorin, do you think you would ever consider making a "Thorin's Side" on music?

[@OpticalResonator]

Thorin I strongly suggest you check out the book Numbercruncher written by Si Spurrier with art by P.J. Holden. It's an incredible story and self contained. Check it out.

[@taylorw87]

Got to 9:45. Gotta read watchman, have only ever read all-star superman.

[@BillyHashbrown]

I like Csgo

[@26btb]

have you watched the documentary here on youtube about moore's wife? quite interesting.

[@toonsoffun5733]

Hey Thorion or any other comic fans. What comics should i start with? I can imagine the experience is kinda wasted if i start with Watchmen. Like you said in the last comic video you need practice to enjoy a new medium.

[@anamewritinwater]

he has recommendations from his last video on the "joy of comics"

[@OpticalResonator]

Saga is where I usually star people these days, best transition from HBO miniseries to comics.

[@julianf0x]

Makes me wonder if you had any influence in fRoD: The Clairvoyant.

[@CatnamedMittens]

I really liked some of the Wildstorm stuff. I didn't mind the Voodoo one in particular. I suspect you need some basic prior knowledge about voodoo as a religion.

[@karstenberning]

Do you also consider mangas or purely comics?

[@SkyLukeComedy]

This is sad to thing that more people care about things like csgo than philosophy. And more people care about cod than csgo.

[@Diam0ndt]

Video on psychedelics? :D

[@OpticalResonator]

Yeah he already did one on this channel

[@Diam0ndt]

He did one on McKenna, but not on his personal experiences with psychedelics as far as I know

[@ghostaccountlmao]

>Thorin >33 What

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

I'mma let you finish, but Jack Kirby is the most influential writer/artist of all-time. He's just dead.

[@Wilm-pm6sp]

I think many of the writers you mentioned would also agree that Alan Moore is better than them.

[@mawer55555]

gosh please stop putting these big red click here to subscribe buttons in the middle of the frame it snot like anyone uses them anyways

[@putinstea]

You are beautiful.

[@bloodsuckern]

fuck sake why's the Ui completely eye searingly white

[@mongoloid3128]
