Jordan TRusso Alan Moore has a fair sense of humour from all I've seen. Joked about being a kind of hipster "comics are popular now so I don't really care for them"
That Watchmen Babies joke was a masterpiece, I think of it every-time a franchise has a corporate re-imagining. Also props, they really referenced how talented these writers are whilst comically referencing how the money is in DC and Marvel and of course Watch Men Babies.
and he is right any company can tale someone work and suck theme dry until they are done with it. but I do think Moore best work was the killing joke and the superman story for the man who has everything
He's actually one to talk because the main characters of Lost Girls are characters from stories HE never wrote. And to add insult to injury, he made it pornography.
The characters of Watchmen were bought from another comic company, I agree Alan Moore probably does find it bad (he thinks most all comics are) doesn't really mean any justifiable reason be annoyed 😜

@@mphylo2296 Best work... no. Most controversial? Yes. Primarily because the man quite literally lambasts people for continuing the stories of superheroes after their creator was done. That and he lambasts people who can't up with original ideas... although someone needs to ask him why it is that Watchmen was made in place of the Justice League he originally wanted to make and why so many of his creations are just analogues for the Justice League.

@@elmizzox 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.
@@elmizzox 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".
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.
Zack Snyder: Alan Moore! You wrote my favorite rendition of the Charleton heroes! Alan Moore: Oh really? So you like that I turned your favorite heroes into impotent, psychotic, indifferent, genocidal, rapists who don't have superpowers? Zack Snyder: I don't read the words. I just like when they punch people!
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).
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.

Pretty sure "Alan" discovered Watchmen Babies thru Milhouse
lmfao this is perfect, btw it is Daniel Clowes
it is all of them
0:53
I guess Milhouse grew up into Geoff Johns?
Remember when the celebrity cameo's in simpsons didn't look like abominations?
People thing Allen moore is brooding but he does have moments where he laughs .
Who's here for when he sings little lulu?
Tom Iannucci Yo
Me
Came for the rant stayed for the song.😂
Very nice Tintin and Asterix nods.

This is an answer to the modern reboots from classic cartoons (Except 2017's Ducktales and 2020's Animaniacs).
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.
@@stephenking5852 that was a joke

Alan Moore's greatest contribution to art was this cameo
I find the fact that Art Spiegelman and Daniel Clowes are flying at the end to be very unrealistic.
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
I love that Alan did this
When I was in the 8th grade, one of the books the language arts teacher had us read was MAUS.
That is insane. I read it as a 20 yr old and found it soul-suckingly depressing, especially for art's mom. It's surprising your teacher would show you that.
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
@@elmizzox n
@@elmizzox 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.
@@elmizzox 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
Something tells me Alan Moore was able to work out a lot of issues voicing himself on The Simpsons.
Mr. Moore would you sign my copy of Watchmen the series?
The Simpsons predicted the Simpsons selling out
0:59 I imagine this is how Alan Moore reacted when he saw what became of the Watchmen "TV show"
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.
Zack Snyder: Alan Moore! You wrote my favorite rendition of the Charleton heroes!
Alan Moore: Oh really? So you like that I turned your favorite heroes into impotent, psychotic, indifferent, genocidal, rapists who don't have superpowers?
Zack Snyder: I don't read the words. I just like when they punch people!
I can't fucking believe they showed The Lost Girls. Even for the Simpsons that is edgy.
old simpson had all these old obscure celebrities that proves yes they were cool cuz simspons writers knew em
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.
1:11 this is relatable down to the love of little lulu.
Outta curiosity, is he really a fan of Little Lulu?
I just came here to listen to Alan Moore singing the Little Lulu intro
The irony of having a rant about corporations bleeding your creations dry to fuel their unquenchable greed in the Simpsons of all things.
They really put a poster of Lost Girls in the background 😳
Hello mr Lovecraft! Would you sign my funko of Cthulhu? :V
