Alan Moore seething that people don't like Rorschach in the right way.
Last I heard he was whining about how all superheroes are raysiss because the KKK in birth of a nation were depicted as heroes and wore costumes which apparently makes a concept atleast as old as the middle ages (and aguably as old as the classical era) raysiss by proxy.
This and many other reasons is why I treat his opinions with about as much respect as I do fatrick's if not slightly less, and why I am more than happy to declare his entire "literary" canon to be literally nothing but mediocre 14 year old edgelord fodder propped up by decent comic artists and decades of circlejerking, but thats a spergout for another day
EDIT: ok to spergout juuuuuuuuust a little, the nigger is worse than seth macfarline when it comes to lazy pop culture references played up for edge or tryhard humor given how
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was little more than him consulting a list of late Victorian/Edwardian and eventually mid-late 20th century popular fiction and adding "
rapist, racist, raped, racist rapist, raped racist, raped rapist" and such to their character descriptions and erasing almost everything else, and when removed from the "
oh golly gee its the invisible man being assfucked to death by Mister Hyde! these are franchises i vaguely recognise doing things extremely out of character!" gimmick it is nothing but an interchangeable smug edgefest comic like ten thousand others
...also to ever so slightly extend my spergout, the only reason in my mind
Watchmen was so coomed over
(beyond the aesthetics and accidentally popular one liners from an unintentionally popular character which is around 80% of its continued popularity) was because it was one of the first cawmics to be popularised as using basic ass storytelling concepts like "flawed characters" and "ambiguous morality" in the wake of the comics code being abandoned, which allowed the barely pubescent readers to feel like they were reading something super duper deep and super serious
.....and just to extend it a teeeeny bit more,
V for Vendetta's comic story being such a fucking masturbatory trainwreck grafted onto a generic dystopian story that the only way it could be salvaged and made popular was to upgrade it to being "just" a generic dystopian story highlights the real reason why his works have a reputation of being impossible to adapt, as direct adaptations would be such ungodly shitshows which winds up causing the execs to just latch the title and aesthetic onto something less likely to bomb by dint of being an impenetrable pretentious mess
ok im done......for now
