Someone actually give Dan Clowes a shot on some Batman. I’m always open to see what new artists can do with him. And as a guy that loves details I’d love a real version of that layout of his utility belt.
I think Dan Clowes thinks super heroes are ridiculous. His superheroes tend to be deconstructions and elsewhere he outright mocks the genre. I wonder if that was his voice? It seems weird that he would sign off on this. Alan Moore's cameo was very apt though.
It will never cease to amaze me that the Simpsons gave a shoutout to "Lost Girls" (the artwork behind Alan being the cover of the first issue), which explores the sexual escapades of literary characters such as Wendy from Peter Pan and Dorothy of Oz-fame in great detail

I will be Frank, as a 21st Century boy who caught the Simpsons on Disney+. I can say with full certainty that this show was not meant to leave the 20th century, all the comedy and gags are tied to 1900-1999. A lot of the jokes have stood the test of time but it was never meant to leave the 20th century.
Oh no, Lost Girls is in the episode. That's the porn that Moore wrote about the erotic adventures of Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and Wendy from Peter Pan!
@@Ijpg456 Have you actually read the comics? Snyder's film is only accurate in the sense he managed to recreate some of the visuals. But it completely misunderstands the themes, the story and characters on such a fundamental level. So saying it's the most comic accurate film of all time is absolutely laughable, and makes me wonder if you actually understood what the Moore's original comics were actually about.
@@Ijpg456 this is what idiots truly think. Just adapt panels without really understanding what they were telling you, so "nerds" ccan pretend it's faithful while both they and Zack Snooder miss the entire point. I don't think the show is perfect, but it at least tries something different and has a message to say. Saying it's "woke" is like saying the original Watchmen or Moore's other work, V for Vendetta is "woke".
1:00-1:11 When I first watched this, I didn't give much thought to what Alan was saying (mostly due to me being a teenager at the time and nothing I loved had received something extremely terrible because of corporate bullshit), but in light of what Sunrise did to Inuyasha early this year (particularly with Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship), I'm really starting to relate with him more and more and I wouldn't be surprised if Rumiko Takahashi is secretly thinking the same thing with Yashahime.
@A Catalan Liam It got a fucking sequel a year ago. A terrible one that's only good thing is Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter, but still! You're gonna look at that and say nobody gives a shit anymore?
@@TheMGIvideos yeah, just look at the killing joke That comic basically introduced a lot of elements that are still in comics to this day like Barbara being paralysed (or the lead up afterwards to her being oracle), the jokers origin and the one bad day ideology
@@TheMGIvideos That doesn't undermine my statement. Not saying he is not talented, but Watchmen, The League of extraordinary gentlemen and his stories of DC superheroes all use characters created a long time ago who were given Moore's treatment for a newer era. So, he is just as guilty of corporations of exploiting properties. And since these stories are well regarded, he is also proof that explotation of franchises is not inherently a bad thing. Maybe this is why he doesn't like superheroes anymore and he has been focusing on original works over time. Not to mention, he is kind of an hypocrite in other things in his works too. Like criticizing nostalgia filtered vision of the past yet condemning almost every modern media (Read: Anything post 70s).
This is the original, real version. The new "HD" version has a smoothening effect laid on top of it, destroying detail as well as cropping it into widescreen.
Trying to spot all the cultural allusions in this episodes was just simply splendiferous, esp. as far as LITTLE LULU, ASTERIX, BATMAN's Utility Belt, Jughead, The HULK, etc. are concerned. I count on The Simpsons, MAD Magazine, Family Guy, South Park, Robot Chicken, REM, etc. to just elicit all these nostalgic allusions from American Culture. (Also worth noting, LL's comic was titled MARGE's (as in Henderson Buehl) LITTLE LULU.
I love that they actually got Alan Moore to voice himself here. This is the only thing in his whole career he talks positively on.
It's said that he did also like Harry Partridge's "Saturday Morning Watchmen" short and the Justice League Unlimited episode adapting "For The Man Who Has Everything". But that's as far as him liking adaptions of his work goes.

Came for the rant stayed for the song.😂
The Simpsons predicted the Simpsons selling out

This is an answer to the modern reboots from classic cartoons (Except 2017's Ducktales and 2020's Animaniacs).
Lol the Lost Girls poster in the background is a nice touch
Moore being super meta about the state of the Simpsons for a minute there
I will be Frank, as a 21st Century boy who caught the Simpsons on Disney+.
I can say with full certainty that this show was not meant to leave the 20th century, all the comedy and gags are tied to 1900-1999. A lot of the jokes have stood the test of time but it was never meant to leave the
20th century.
I don’t think Alan Moore’s rant on Hollywood was scriptwd
Oh no, Lost Girls is in the episode. That's the porn that Moore wrote about the erotic adventures of Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and Wendy from Peter Pan!
All that's missing is Lucy from The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe
@@RingoandCarlin according to the Wikipedia article I read 5 years, and just now, Lucy from the Narnia books is nowhere mentioned.

Old version? Did they edit it or something
0:46 "Fans" of Watchmen trying to explain why Zack Snyder's adaption is good.
It is good, it's the most comic accurate film of all time, the tv show is liberal bull crap, that's what people should bash
@@Ijpg456 n
@@Ijpg456 Have you actually read the comics? Snyder's film is only accurate in the sense he managed to recreate some of the visuals. But it completely misunderstands the themes, the story and characters on such a fundamental level. So saying it's the most comic accurate film of all time is absolutely laughable, and makes me wonder if you actually understood what the Moore's original comics were actually about.
@@Ijpg456 this is what idiots truly think. Just adapt panels without really understanding what they were telling you, so "nerds" ccan pretend it's faithful while both they and Zack Snooder miss the entire point.
I don't think the show is perfect, but it at least tries something different and has a message to say. Saying it's "woke" is like saying the original Watchmen or Moore's other work, V for Vendetta is "woke".
@@elrowlight4639 So many DC fans complaining about woke adaptations are going to be very disappointed when they find out Alan Moore's politics
0:59 I imagine this is how Alan Moore reacted when he saw what became of the Watchmen "TV show"
They really put a poster of Lost Girls in the background 😳
I want a Dan Clowes Batman!
I can't fucking believe they showed The Lost Girls. Even for the Simpsons that is edgy.
Little lulu lol
1:00-1:11 When I first watched this, I didn't give much thought to what Alan was saying (mostly due to me being a teenager at the time and nothing I loved had received something extremely terrible because of corporate bullshit), but in light of what Sunrise did to Inuyasha early this year (particularly with Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship), I'm really starting to relate with him more and more and I wouldn't be surprised if Rumiko Takahashi is secretly thinking the same thing with Yashahime.
@A Catalan Liam It got a fucking sequel a year ago. A terrible one that's only good thing is Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter, but still! You're gonna look at that and say nobody gives a shit anymore?
Valiant words coming from Moore considering lots of his works are reinterpretations of pre-existing characters
Shit take man the guy pushed comics to a new level and reinvented the most iconic super hero of the time with his superman stories
@@TheMGIvideos yeah, just look at the killing joke
That comic basically introduced a lot of elements that are still in comics to this day like Barbara being paralysed (or the lead up afterwards to her being oracle), the jokers origin and the one bad day ideology
@@TheMGIvideos
That doesn't undermine my statement. Not saying he is not talented, but Watchmen, The League of extraordinary gentlemen and his stories of DC superheroes all use characters created a long time ago who were given Moore's treatment for a newer era.
So, he is just as guilty of corporations of exploiting properties. And since these stories are well regarded, he is also proof that explotation of franchises is not inherently a bad thing. Maybe this is why he doesn't like superheroes anymore and he has been focusing on original works over time.
Not to mention, he is kind of an hypocrite in other things in his works too. Like criticizing nostalgia filtered vision of the past yet condemning almost every modern media (Read: Anything post 70s).
@@user-unos111 yeah ok
@@user-unos111 not to mention he's a commie.
0:08 No jacket.

1:11 this is relatable down to the love of little lulu.
This is the original, real version. The new "HD" version has a smoothening effect laid on top of it, destroying detail as well as cropping it into widescreen.
Thank soulless, groomer run Disney for that.
Old version?
Fun fact: the Watchmen was one of the few adaptations of his work Alan Moore actually liked.
Mr. Moore would you sign my copy of Watchmen the series?
The irony of having a rant about corporations bleeding your creations dry to fuel their unquenchable greed in the Simpsons of all things.
I will absolutely lose it if I find out that the only comics Alan Moore really likes are the Richie Rich or Scrooge McDuck comics.
Mr. Lucas, would you sign my DVD of The Force Awakens?
Puts on Darth Vader mask, Noooooooooooooooooooo!
Lucas: Greedo shot first
Denunciante Escéptico well he put his name on the prequel so I would think he'd be happy to 😜
@@Oliver-fu1go yes but difference is HE made those prequels so they mean something to him
@@anthonysmith3415 ... yes I know that was a joke
Trying to spot all the cultural allusions in this episodes was just simply splendiferous, esp. as far as LITTLE LULU, ASTERIX, BATMAN's Utility Belt, Jughead, The HULK, etc. are concerned. I count on The Simpsons, MAD Magazine, Family Guy, South Park, Robot Chicken, REM, etc. to just elicit all these nostalgic allusions from American Culture. (Also worth noting, LL's comic was titled MARGE's (as in Henderson Buehl) LITTLE LULU.
Outta curiosity, is he really a fan of Little Lulu?
