Based Alan Moore destroys Marvel/Disney trash
Who the fuck is this boomer lmao
>destroys Marvel/Disney trash
> “They are perfectly good as children’s entertainment. But if you try to make them for the adult world then I think it becomes kind of grotesque.”
He’s actually complimenting Marvel and Insulting himself
Given the comics Moore has written, him thinking comics for children explains a lot.
And not in a good way.
He wrote a few deconstruction comics and then moved beyond superheroes. That is very different from being comic book superhero movies played straight and you know it.
>“Several years ago I said I thought it was a really worrying sign, that hundreds of thousands of adults were queuing up to see characters that were created 50 years ago to entertain 12-year-old boys. That seemed to speak to some kind of longing to escape from the complexities of the modern world, and go back to a nostalgic, remembered childhood. That seemed dangerous, it was infantilizing the population.”
fuck off

No.
But either way Marvel films aren’t really what comes to mind when you imagine superhero media for adults, and Watchmen is
Also it’s a little hypocritical to claim that adults enjoying family aimed media is bad when Moore wrote comics because of his love of them, and older comics were the epitome of children’s storytelling
Don’t talk for me
>But either way Marvel films aren’t really what comes to mind when you imagine superhero media for adults, and Watchmen is
Fucking what? For Watchmen to be for adults, it'd first have to be for "someone". That movie's a pile of shit.
>Fucking what?
They’re basic blockbuster films with a solid narrative and very little that actually makes them purely for adults
He didn't deconstruct shit people throw around that term after reading it on that shit that's TV troope site thinking that they smart for using it
Is that why we need more pornographic Disney Princess fan fiction?
Lost Girls is actually very good imho and having sexual themes doesn't make it pornography
>It's another "user carries water for facecless corporations for free" thread
Great minds think alike;
“You can make your superhero a psychopath, you can draw gut-splattering violence, and you can call it a "graphic novel," but comic books are still incredibly stupid.”
No, underage characters having graphic sex makes it pornography.
Comic books can focus on any subject so I disagree with this. The focus on superheroes is a weird path dependence thing.
>Man i'm so depressed, everything is shit and everyone is a sheeple,nothing have values except memes. Clown world aha
We smile at mopping neckbeard POS like you because we know the thing that trigger you the most is people being happy and knowing that you can do nothing about it :-)
>“They are perfectly good as children’s entertainment. But if you try to make them for the adult world then I think it becomes kind of grotesque.”
He's clearly praising MCU and bashing Zack Snyder.
“my Justice League film is for adults” - Zack Snyder
Oh fuck off with that alarmist shit. Da poopy superhero flick destroy cinema ? Fuck you, retard.People said the same things about the westerns movie from 1930s to 1980s
“Watchmen” creator Alan Moore shared his belief in 2017 that superhero movies’ impact on popular culture was “tremendously embarrassing,” and the comic book icon remains just as critical of Marvel and DC films three years later. In a new interview with Deadline to tout his feature film “The Show,” Moore says he remains retired from writing comic books in part because “most people equate comics with superhero movies now.”
“I haven’t seen a superhero movie since the first Tim Burton ‘Batman’ film. They have blighted cinema, and also blighted culture to a degree,” Moore said. “Several years ago I said I thought it was a really worrying sign, that hundreds of thousands of adults were queuing up to see characters that were created 50 years ago to entertain 12-year-old boys. That seemed to speak to some kind of longing to escape from the complexities of the modern world, and go back to a nostalgic, remembered childhood. That seemed dangerous, it was infantilizing the population.”
Moore believes there is a connection between the enduring popularity of superhero movies and current political events, saying, “This may be entirely coincidence but in 2016 when the American people elected [Trump] and the UK voted to leave the European Union, six of the top 12 highest grossing films were superhero movies. Not to say that one causes the other but I think they’re both symptoms of the same thing — a denial of reality and an urge for simplistic and sensational solutions.”
>People take Alan Moore seriously
kek
Name any superhero comic book/story as deep as Blood Meridian
>Alan Moore says something opinionated for the 7125th time in a row
>Feeling like pic related, about to type "who cares, Alan Moore is fucking retarded when it comes to things outside of writing/literature"
>Actually read the article
>"All of these characters have been stolen from their original creators, all of them," Moore says in a new interview.
Holy shit, he's actually right about that, the comic industry in general doesn't respect creators, alot of adaptations don't involve the original creators or even compensa-
>thousands of adults were queuing up to see characters that were created 50 years ago to entertain 12-year-old boys.
Okay never mind, Alan Moore sucks
He's right tho, he predicted the Snyder Cult.
Surely he must be tired of saying this by now, right?
I, at least, am tired of reading it.
So when he took Miracleman and made him sexually abuse his teenage sidekick it was completely respectable?
Ethan Van Sciever was paid U$100,000.00 by WB/DC because he happened to be the artist in he issue in which the GLCorps prison first appeared, so when the prison appeared in the GL movie, both he and Johns were compensated.
This is no pocket money.
No one gives a fuck about this commie's opinions
