Alan's dislike for the comic book industry is really down to how shabby he feels the big two treat artists and writers. He should be applauded for it. He also is incredibly ambitious to turn the art form into something more than superheroes. Again, this is something he should be applauded for
The comics medium has always been about much more than superheroes, but ironically it took writers like Alan Moore using superheroes in more subversive ways to direct a wider audience to it.
Its refreshing to see an artist who is past middle-age, who is greatly ambitious, and who instills excitement MORE so than many new faces on the scene. I respect that he is coming into a field (movies) that he is essentially untrained in, and is doing something new and different and trying to pull our eyes, even for a second, away from the mind-dumbing crap that fills our cinemas today. This man we need to watch.
@@MutantsInDisguise From wikipedia: "Watchmen received widespread critical acclaim for its performances, writing, visuals, score, and expansion of the source material, as well as commendation for highlighting the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. The series received several awards, including 26 nominations and 11 wins at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards - the most for any show in 2020". There's no arguing with facts, "buddy".
he hasnt watched it. he is completely against the idea of turning one sprt of media into another. " the only reason to make a a book into a movie is to make money"
CinemaGeek It probably wouldn't have but it could have been handled better than the movie. The movie was very poor attempt to bring the graphic novel to life.
+MrChibiluffy He's not grouchy. He's just calling it what it is. It's also quite impressive such comments are coming from a comic book writer - it means he has a very level-headed outlook on his work. Smart guy.
it's not that his early works are bad, it's just that his newer works are much better, and that all the other stuff is terrible. Even though I do read superhero comic books sometimes, I do agree with him. I realise the only thing that draws me to them is my childhood memories, so that means sometimes I'm emotionally retarded, lol.

Schuky9 he is not got "destroyed", he signed contract and he did everything according it and recieved check after that. This is how stuff works in real life, no more or less.
This man is the literacy of the word GENIUS. best comic book writer if you ask me.

At the same time Stan Lee didn't create any of his own characters and became Scrooge McDuck while the real creators were still collecting benefits

I take his negative words about comics as constructive criticism. It's time for the term Graphic Novel to mean something.
I find gn's as being text with illustrations.

what film did he make recently ?
Yes I’m talking about Lost ouch!
So fun to come back to this after Lindelof's disrespectful attempt at capitalizing on Moore's work.
Nonsensical and purist take. The show was fantastic and a breath of fresh air
@@MrRuipereira7sure, buddy, sure.

@@MrRuipereira7 facts, or is it just you being a parasite with no thoughts of their own?
When This video came out, it wars my birthday.
Wars.... wtf, why did i say that, *was.
Huzzah!
Wait so he doesn't like Watchmen?
the movie is what he doesnt like
LuffyissHere But it wasn't that bad.
he hasnt watched it. he is completely against the idea of turning one sprt of media into another. " the only reason to make a a book into a movie is to make money"
LuffyissHere Well that's stupid.
are you seriously calling the grand wizard of comics stupid?
it would have been very interesting to see Watchmen as a tv series.
Bradley Wood I'm not sure that would've given it justice
CinemaGeek It probably wouldn't have but it could have been handled better than the movie. The movie was very poor attempt to bring the graphic novel to life.
You're in luck, buddy
incoming watchmen pilot by hbo in 2018
No, because Watchmen is a comic book about comic books
Are you kidding me? Watchmen (the movie) was amazing! Zack Snider did an amazing job with it.
He and frank miller is basically dc legend. most if newer comic wrighter are just trying to capture their magic.
whens his film released?
bruce Wayne Mid 2015.Should be finished soon enough.
I like him but i hate how negative he is about comics i mean seriously chill and stop being so grouchy about it all.
+MrChibiluffy He's not grouchy. He's just calling it what it is.

7:25 lol
So now he hates his Watchmen, Swamp Thing etc. stuff too?
Probably. He thinks the Killing Joke is his worst piece of work ever
wolfhowlin That I knew. Sad. Although he seems like a weird and tough person, he really got destroyed by his greedy bosses.
The more Moore hates them the better they are
