I feel the need to point out that the Accords in Civil War is never about superhero registration. That doesn’t come up in the movie AT ALL.

I agree but stan for Endgame as well. But Endgame was only so good because it was a payoff for the long story before it. WS is the best because it stands mostly on it’s own. As much as any MCU project can be considered on it’s own...

That does come up, if only in passing, when they’re arguing about the Accords immediately after Ross’s presentation. Rhodey argues that the UN isn’t the World Security Council, or SHIELD, or Hydra, and Steve answers that it’s still a group of people with agendas, who may send them where they don’t want to go or keep…

I saw chemtrails with my own two eyes at the USGP two years ago. Every time one of the cars passed by on the back straight, it would release a trail of lizard-based-make-you-gay-gas. Needless to say, it’s the one time I wore my mask.

Never thought I’d see a whole show as a Black Lantern but that’s the Zaslav touch, I guess. 

I can’t say I’m surprised by this but it’s a shame. This was a good take on Superman and it was nice to see a mature adult hero who wasn’t constantly full of angst. The teenage drama could be annoying but that’s what you get from teenagers in general.

For sure. And I can see how the public's reception of Rorschach vs. his intent for the character would be disheartening and embarrassing.  I'd feel the same way. Rorschach was supposed to be disgusting and disturbing and people take him as aspirational. Of COURSE he hates that.

Kinja has a hilarious core of commenters who rather than engage with non-hateful disagreement, simply dismisses the reply that contradicts their position:

...I’m starting to give up two graphs in, Matthew. 

On one hand, in total fairness to him, I suspect he was referring generally to times when the Queen hadn’t just died, which was a bit of an outlier as these things go.

Why are people still asking Alan Moore what he thinks of adaptations of his work? He hates them all, except for that one episode of JLU. That’s it.

Again, I ask people to not look at him as “Alan Moore” the figure in modern comics history but look at him as a human being who worked for DC for about five or six years back in the 1980s’ and has always spoken out about the unjust and sinister tactics deployed that he became alarmed by. Until people read and read and…

Is it self hatred or is it the very understandable reaction of someone who was literally lied to and assured that he and co-creator Dave Gibbons would legally have publishing rights reverted to them within a specific amount of time? All of this is documented and easily researchable. Why is Moore deserving of such…

It’s unfortunate the usual “cranky old Alan Moore” narrative is used here by supposed pop culture enthusiasts when Moore, regardless of your opinion of him or not, was purposely lied to and misled about the publishing rights of his work reverting to him after five years by the corporate owners of DC Comics. I don’t…

Those were reconfiguring old characters into a new context in order to make an artistic statement. It wasn’t a boring, lazy rip off of the same work or an ‘adaptation’ that was nothing of the sort. Do you even know the difference?

AVClub would rather keep regurgitating this “OMG! Can you beleive what Alan Moore thinks about comics?!!” over and over for cheap and easy clicks than actually produce worthwhile content. 

Alan Moore is easily in the top five comic book writers ever so he and his opinions on comics, his own work, narratives, and pop culture deserve a great deal of respect. The first thing you can say about his opinions on the matter of movie/TV adaptions of his work is that he is absolutely not wrong. Most are garbage…

Is there an article about Watchmen somewhere every day?  Does he spontaneously Tweet about it unprompted?

What is the point of the “daily reminder” snark?

the From Hell movie is such an unmitigated shit-pile. if anything on Earth deserves another chance at an adaptation, it’s that. get some real bleak, uncompromising fucker like Ben Wheatley or Jeremy Saulnier at the helm and do it justice
