Oh please, theyre the minority of the minority. you see comic sales. You think all the protests happening around the world because of on dead faggot is because of muh superheroes and autistic manchildren?
>Class traitor
Accurate and one of the things that'd really get under his skin.
>Gives an in detail and objective reason why our culture has been stifled by superheroes
Well, let's hear it then
i just realized he looks like Vater Orlaag
is that intentional
Based ancient wizard of Anarchism
Original content is ignored while people clap and cheer for vapid superhero shit, and get angry when anything in a superhero universe changes or grows.
Kill yourself, autistic manchild.
>no argument
>Kill yourself, autistic manchild.
Only once you stop sucking his cock.
Yeah but CHAZ has proven him wrong on the idea of Anarco-Communist societies being functional.
Does he really think that if the superhero genre didn't exist, people would magically stop being dumb and irrational? Does he happen to blame the coronavirus pandemic on superheroes?

Yes, all those MCU and DCEU watchers are in the minority.
Alan has Had fuck you money for like four decades. It’s easy for him to judge people caught in the grind without realizing how different their existence is than his own.
Also, this quote refers to a real world that no longer exists. We’re on to something else now. I doubT Alan is bagging on anyone for their choices in entertainment these days.
That said, cape movies suck. The best thing about them is the reprints they spawn.
He expressed these views before those were even a thing
it seems to me that mr moore is forgetting the children stories of his youth, Were legends and stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood used as a retreat from the overwhelming complexities of modern existence?
Are these stories which have squatted possessively on the cultural stage for centuries stop Great Britain from progressing and developing in culture?
No because thats retarded. Life is far more complex than some capeshit.
And yet OP has put their entire post in greentext and putting in as many memes and shitposts as possible.
He said that in 2014. Robin hood and King Arthur were kids stories, and adults didn't compare real life to it, like they do with MCU or Harry Potter.
Original content is ignored regardless of superheroes.
>adults didn't compare real life to it
What world do you live in, I've seen constant Robin Hood glorification by calling 'desirables' with this name
>people (...) get angry when anything in a superhero universe changes or grows
The only good Moore take in this thread
>NO HO
aaaaand canceled for slut-shaming.
He'd be cancelled over the gratuitous and graphic rape in his comics first.
> Robin hood and King Arthur were kids stories, and adults didn't compare real life to it, like they do with MCU or Harry Potter.
Thats where you're wrong user. Robin Hood is a symbol of the common man standing against tyranny. And he was constantly evolving.
He used to be very popular in the 15-16th century
>a significant section of the public have given up on attempting to understand the reality they are actually living in
>said by a hermit who has no understanding of the world he's living in
So you think that the argument of "whaa! If you were smarter, you'd read my stuff instead of the popular stuff! The popular stuff is stoopid!"
Is a reason that is so valid that no one up until now has thought of a decent rebuttal?
>this time anarchism will work
Lol
He says superheroes are "White Supremacist" because something about KKK costumes and secret identities. You can just as easily say they're Zionist because many of the characters were made by Jews using false names to hide their Jewishness like a cape character has an alter-ego.
Based and capepilled.
>“It looks to me very much like a significant section of the public, having given up on attempting to understand the reality they are actually living in
Didn't he also say "lol it's all too complex to understand because its all chaos also time isn't real"?
>HNGHHOOOOOOOORD HOOOOORD
Dude, this isn't the iron clad argument that you think it is
>“To my mind,
Already we know we are dealing with opinion not fact
>this embracing of what were unambiguously children’s characters
at their mid-20th century inception
That's a stretch, comics have long enjoyed a place in popular counter culture by adult fans
>seems to indicate a retreat from the admittedly overwhelming complexities of modern existence,” he wrote to Ó Méalóid.
This seems much more like a criticism of modern day loving. Again, the words, "in my mind" followed by "seem to indicate" implies that he is riffing here, it's not a well thought out constructed argument.
>“It looks to me very much like a significant section of the public, having given up on attempting to understand the reality they are actually living in, have instead reasoned that they might at least be able to comprehend the sprawling, meaningless, but at-least-still-finite ‘universes’ presented by DC or Marvel Comics.
I mean, yeah, escapism is a thing
>I would also observe that it is, potentially, culturally catastrophic to have the ephemera of a previous century squatting possessively on the cultural stage and refusing to allow this surely unprecedented era to develop a culture of its own, relevant and sufficient to its times.”
Nothing in this part is valid. People read what they want to read. Escapism happens because of larger systemic issues that moore in no way is suggesting we address or change. Instead he's whining because what he wants to write isn't popular.
At least Libertarians (not Libertines like the naked neckbeard) admit that if you had a no-state state it wouldn't be a happy-clappy commune, but right wing as fuck (or conquered by said right-wing as fuck groups).
Like, would a community making its own rules tolerate a drugged-up occultist who writes porn of underage girls?
Alan Moore only hates cape characters because he's mad that all his best work as been cape comics, and he doesn't want to accept that because he's a fart-sniffing pseud.
>You old curmudgeon.
I'm sure that nobody that hates Moore uses that, "old curmudgeon" sounds like something he would use to describe himself to dazzle people with his verbosity.
