This was shit when you posted it in the Sandman thread.
I thought that discussion deserved it's own thread.
This isn't funny or even applicable to Moore and his work. Are you gonna do one about Morrison being "weird" and "le drugs" or something next? Failed attempt.
It didn't. It doesn't.
>This isn't funny or even applicable to Moore and his work.
It exactly sums up Moore and his "le dark legacy". But of course, he's not solely responsible.
Name 5 then.
Are people finally realizing he's an overly cynical hack?
Childhood is thinking Alan Moore is a great writer. Adulthood is realising that Geoff Johns' optimism and wide variety in writing gives him the advantage over a cynical hack like Moore.
Grant?
You forgot the fish rape.
>[insert edgy name here]
I think you're confusing Moore with Liefeld here since not a single one of his characters have a remotely edgy name.
it's been a long time since I've seen so much absolute nonsense stuffed into a single post
>wide variety in writing
>Johnsfags actually believe this
>he heavily smokes and dates with hookers/shitty people who exactly like him/her, yeah. He/she's so anti-establishment that he/she shits nicotine
Was this originally an Ellis pasta?
You forgot how everyone is always getting raped. Just what I immediately recall
>Miracleman: Gargunza (raper and maybe raped) Miraclewoman, Bates
>Swamp Thing: Abby, Swampy
>Watchmen: That Jupiter bitch
>Killing Joke: One or both of the Gordons
>Top 10: The sidekicks
>Providence: Everybody
certainly seems that way. I can't think of any Moore characters that smoke besides a few in Watchmen
Constantine
what did he mean by this
>it's a "he writes rape so it must mean he's addicted to rape even if nobody would ever accuse any writer of being obsessed with murder when death is so fucking prevalent in fiction" episode
it is pretty much his go to "drama" plot device.
cope
I feel like this doesnt apply on the slightest.
I meant he leans on rape as plot device. Doesn't bother me a bit but he definitely does do it a lot. I wish more writers would take that kind of bold risk.
