I've just recently got into comics through Alan Moore's Watchmen, so can anyone tell me if I got this "rivalry" right? Basically, seems to me Morrison's obvious joke got him a lot of flack and has been haunting him to this day, and that Moore didn't appreciate the gesture so he decided in his own way that he wanted nothing to do with him and has been frank about that, so Morrison got pissy and started throwing jabs and Moore whenever the opportunity arose, despite being an avid fan of his work, even his magnum opus - the novel Jerusalem. Moore doesn't appear to give a shit, hasn't really cared for a long ass time and only mentions Morrison whenever he gets asked about him for the nth time, like is the case with the constant Watchmen and superhero questions overall, hence his reputation of being "bitter" and a "jaded old man", even though he seems quite content and has moved on years ago. Morrison also doesn't have much interest in this old spat, but does pick the wound here and there for some reason.
It's an ideological divide Moore thinks capes are for children and that major publishers are leeches sucking his talent and royalties off while Morrison thinks the complete opposite and loves capeshit and major publishers so much he was DC's top writer a couple of years ago and basically carrying it's whole editorial line.
Connor Martinez
Childhood is idolizing Morrison.
Adulthood is realizing Morrision is a fag who wears dresses and identifies as nonbinary to latch on to a fickle social trend.
John Edwards
Both suck but atleast Moore shits on everything
Colton Gonzalez
Moore is the undisputed GOAT
John Gutierrez
Goat at sucking dick
Owen Wright
Moore only nags about capeshit because he's tired of all the questions he still gets about Watchmen, as opposed to discussing Jerusalem or his upcoming film. And his critique of culture nowadays is definitely on point, and so is his critique on art.
Liam Ortiz
Why is morrison still living in moore's shadow? The man sucks DC dick all day and moore's got four series that became TV and or Movie series. Ones he didn't even want made.
Christopher Baker
That's Mark Millar.
Jason Collins
Adulthood is idolizing Moore
Deathbed is realizing he was also a massive fagot
Gavin Long
>he was also a massive fagot Do elaborate.
William Gutierrez
>Moore thinks capes are for children and that major publishers are leeches sucking his talent >Morrison thinks the complete opposite So Morrison is a retard?
Lincoln Scott
>sucking his talent and royalties off not just his. he's pissed off on behalf of the kirbys, the ditkos, the fingers, etc, people whose work corporations continue to hold onto and exploit. meanwhile you have morrison siding with dc on the superman lawsuit
>latch on to a fickle social trend He's been doing it before you were even conceived.
Blake Anderson
It's actually a little annoying because this shadow-dwelling is the sole reason these two get compared all the time, despite Morrison being obviously inferior. He's still good, occasionally, but come on.
Chase Parker
he literally tried to destroy the world with meme magic in 2012 and was visibly butthurt about failing in the years after.
Lincoln Fisher
Losers, every last one of you, for even engaging.
Christopher Williams
>his magnum opus - the novel Jerusalem Moore's prose is next-level cringe
Aaron Gutierrez
>Mooreisson
Noah Bell
moore is a cuck with shitty opinions. the fact he works on capeshit makes it not only a bigger cuck but also a hypocrite
Camden Gonzalez
>It's an ideological divide no, it's entirely personal
Chase Hughes
>the fact he works on capeshit makes it not only a bigger cuck but also a hypocrite really, how?
Ian Richardson
These two chucklefucks are forever hailed as the best UK writers. >Alan Grant sits quietly in a pub in Glasgow having a pint and not bothering with fame, being the actual GOAT British writer.
What's his actual GOAT work. From what i read, old school Dredd strips were nice, his Batman was meh.
Caleb Miller
Moore loves rape, Morrison hates rape.
Daniel Reed
Moore is safe. When you read Superman by Alan Moore, you know you'll get a classic Superman story. Morrison is crazy. When you read Superman by Grant Morrison, you have no fucking idea what to expect.
Jose Wood
Wagner is miles better than grant
Jonathan Moore
Strontium dog is probably his best works
Matthew Martinez
>Alan Grant do you think he's still mad at Mark Millar?
