Yes and it would infuriate Yea Forums to no end

No, because Steven Universe doesn't have anything edgy or any cold war parallels.

this

Who do you think would be moores gemfu?

Not really, but he would say he does to piss people off

I'd say he'd probably be neutral on it. Mature stuff is more his wheelhouse so he'd probably be apprehensive about watching it. At most he would respect aspects of the production and writing in spite of it not being his aesthetic.

I like the idea of him enjoying townie episodes unironically.

He'd probably like the more tragic and fucked up characters like Pearl, Jasper, or Lapis. He also might find the Diamonds interesting from a socio-political standpoint.

Would he think Steven made the right move with making peace with the Diamonds in CYM?

what does he even like?

the only thing I know about him is that he hates Ditko

Well, we can narrow it down. He doesn’t like James Bond or Harry Potter, so that helps.

He loves Ditko, though he disagrees with him.

Escapism that hits emotional lows equivalent to its emotional highs.

I don't know, but if I could kidnap him and force him to either commentate each episode individually or after marathoning the whole thing...

Based.

how many of those have been scanned? that lady chatterly book looks great.

>Crumb
Nice.

I've found about half of those.

No, because SU doesn't include child abuse vicitms and hookers.

Pink is kind of a child abuse victim.

i guess the pearls are metaphorical trophy wives. is that a kind of hooker? it's got rape, he likes that

He'd probably understand that challenging them in a fight would be pointless because all of them together are pretty much unstoppable compared to the Crystal Gems. Watchmen ends with the heroes having to play along with the villain because the only other option is arguably a lot worse.

i think he'd like the idea, maybe not so hot on the execution

He's still alive, isn't he? Why not just ask him during one of those interviews people are always getting from him. Give him a break on questions about how angry modern comics makes him.

Better question:
What if Alan Moore directed Steven Universe?

he'd lean heavily on the antichrist stuff

So what you’re saying is Sugar and Moore should get together and collaborate. And maybe fuck.

>he hates Ditko
Source: Your ass.
youtube.com/watch?v=hD7EKZ32ODQ

unironically it wouldn't surpise me if sugar read his stuff
i think she'd like some of his weirder shit like promethea

has moore ever done anything animated?

Honestly? It depends what work it's most like, Watchmen or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

>In the former case, Steven is able to make a plea on the side of optimism and future, and arguing that by taking lesser evils for the greater good, humanity loses it's humanity. Humanity evolves, and is implied to become better, though nothing is ever set in stone, and Steven may have just created an all or nothing scenario
>Everyone is a fucking terrible person, both in skills and personality. Pearl's a gem supremacist and uses Greg as a prostitute, Amethyst becomes the Blob, Garnet has dementia and is a sex addict, Greg has metastatic melanoma, Steven turns out to be the antichrist for some fucking reason and is unable to fight fate despite it being the one thing literature gets real life accurate fate is bullshit and you know it, the Pizzas are war criminals, the Fryman is a closet homosexual, and Ronaldo rapes half the townies, especially Lars and Sadie.
>Oh, and naturally it turns out the Diamonds were right, and they wipe out the CGs with a macguffin.

As you can probably guess, I neither like volume 3, nor did I like how his subversion of the invisible man was just the invisible man but even more rapey.

Based and greenpilled!
Would watch a Steven Universe AU like this!

alan moore likes things?

K I N O !
I want this! A Zack Snyderian and Frank Millerian series about an hybrid gem human!
It's what my dreams are made of!

>Not hearing about Maus, The Spirit, Talbot or R. Crumb
Yes, you are.

Yes. Maus, The Spirit, MAD, Hellboy, and Cerebus should be known by every user of this board, and stuff like Planetary, Love and Rockets, Palestine, Understanding Comics, and Crumb are constantly recommended everywhere.

Could Steven change Manhattan’s mind?

Maybe not, but Pink Steven is there to tank whatever Manhattan can throw at him.

Absolutely. And by the look of that wojak, no one's surprised, newfag.

Except, you know, breaking the diamond instead of just pulling it out

Ah yeah, that old chestnut.

Would him and Rorschach be friends?

Steven could probably turn him around with a few pizzas and a song or two.

>Met young boy today. Seems innocent enough. Possibly homosexual? Must investigate further.
>Don't like strange alien women he's with though. Seem like whores. Obviously homosexual. No need for further investigation.

no, rorschach hates women, his complex would be too much for it

Apparently he loves Little Lulu and even wrote for it.

To Steven:
>You keep calling me Walter. I don’t like you.
>You...don’t like me? Alright, why is that exactly?
>Fat. wealthy. Think you understand pain. I’ll tell you something Steven. I’ll tell you about Rorschach.

they'd end up accidentally fusing and forming pic related

Attached: herbie.jpg (280x284, 10K)

I am 100% fucking certain he’d choose Nephrite. Not only is she damaged, she’s also completely obscure to the point that he’d feel pretty fucking special liking a Gem nobody else likes or acknowledges half the time.

>posts a vid of him making fun of Ditko’s views

>Would Alan Moore like
No.

>Steven is quiet and somewhat distant. He can't really connect with most humans, with a few exceptions like Greg and Connie.
>The flaws of the Gems are turned up to 11. Pearl's lust for Rose is much more explicit, Amethyst is a disgusting hedonist, and Garnet is completely emotionless.
>When Steven and Connie fuse into Stevonnie, they spend almost the entire time masturbating. This is the first time Steven feels a true connection with a human and that he is a part of the human race.
>The Diamonds are much more brutal and tyrannical. We see scenes of them conquering entire alien worlds, slaughtering civilians.
>Steven has to deal with the fact that he won't always be able to befriend people, and that he might have to fight to protect people. After killing Bismuth, he suffers an intense breakdown.
>Rose Quartz isn't Pink Diamond. Rather, Rose's insurrection was indirectly started by the Diamonds to use as an excuse to increase their power and become more militaristic. Pink Diamond, while still tyrannical, wasn't that bad because while she took Earth's resources, she didn't wipe out the planet's entire population like the other three. By killing her, Rose accidentally made Earth fair game for the other Diamonds to take and destroy humanity. Rose manages to save Earth, at the cost of almost all of her resistance group. She willingly allows everyone except the main gems to be turned into horrifying monsters just to allow humanity to exist. This is Bismuth's main motivation for her face-heel turn, rather than being annoyed at Rose's pacifism.
>Instead of being into 80's dad rock, Greg is more into Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, mid 70's-early 80's Bowie, stuff like that. He also does a shit ton of drugs, weed and psychedelics to be exact, although he used to do heroin in the 90's before Rose saved him.

Poor Moore Steven

Yes, but the good news you can easily change that by reading the stuff from that pic.

>wojak
probably, but not because you haven't read the same trite as Moore

Would read

Nah, but he'd probably like Utena.

If it's still got sweet musical numbers I'm totally in.

I've seen maus in book stores

FPBP

Ugh, he WOULD like Lapis.

youtube.com/watch?v=ONGJs1l19aU

I want to live in this timeline

Yes but, y'know... it's pretty easy to change by just reading a couple of these. I would highly recommend Robert Crumb's work of the list. Funniest, darkest and most creative cartoonist of all time. Plus you really need to check out the documentary about jim 'Crumb' sometime. One of the best documentaries ever - unintentionally proves all of Freud's theories right.

He probably would like it, if he was to direct an episode I would expect him to go indepth about policy regarding the gems and the international conflict and history of the new earth. maybe a small subplot about how gem interference has changed aspect of life.

> steven universe? love it, can't get enough of it, honestly.
> would you like to see my gemsona? her name's Asbestos, a rejected prototype gem. insidious little bugger. kills everything around her slowly, like a subtle poison emanating out of her pores. she can't control herself either, so she isolates herself from the rest of homeworld in a vain attempt to dissuade people from seeking her out

Attached: moore.jpg (640x300, 68K)

The real question is, would Alan Moore Believe In Steven?

What would Rorschach he think of Greg?

Well, she DID make a caduceus in “Reunited.”

“My name’s Mack...”
“...and my name’s Mike!”

Based and greenpilled! Would want and watch this!

No, it's popular.

Maybe Rose is still Pink Diamond but her double persona is a symbolism and an homage to Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Rose talks about how killing humans is bad, but Pink say is good to kill humans, they discuss untill they go stalemate. And at the end Pearl is the one that take the final decision, and Pearl didn't know that Russia couldn't take that nuke......

Don't beat yourself up. Why not check out some of these books instead?

>Watchmen ends with the heroes having to play along with the villain because the only other option is arguably a lot worse.

Diamonds get shattered, Gemkind goes extinct.

That got me thinking...
What if Grant Morrison directed Steven Universe?
and kinda related to the first question:
What if both Alan Moore and Grant Morrison co-directed Steven Universe?

He has to. I can't believe in a man who does not Believe in Steven.

>Watchgems
I want this

Well, Moore Steven would be a distand anti-christ like persona, and he start to look like his mother Pink Diamond, but goes by wanting to be the saviour of the human race like Rose. Humans don't want him as saviour and are offended that he thinks they are so stupid and so primitive to need a saviour. But Steven knows that they need him.
Then the episodes are Morrison like stories, Yellow Diamond is a Ras Al Ghul person who thinks her leadership is the one and only that deserve to exists, Blue is a kind and loving Morrison's like Wonder Woman she is sweet but also pragmatic annd want the better for the creatures even if that makes them unhappy. White Diamond is going to be Final Crisis's Darkseid, but she will get redeemed when Steven makes her know that humans are weak and they must save them because their superiority makes them the only people that can save these weak and primitive humans by civilization and listening to their opinions.
The gems are as what said, and Steven starts to be friend to Connie when they were 8. And Steven will hate Garnet because she lied to him and made him think fusion was a weapon for mortal situations, and so Steven with his diamond's powers make Garnet unfuse in Ruby and Sapphire....forever! But they will understand this decision and will live together.
Pearl and Amethyst will first have loveless sex but then they will marry and love eachothers

He would believe Steven as a metaphor to the lovecraftian hybrids and an homage to mythological demigods

>I wanted to kind of make this like, "Yeah, this is what crying space rock lesbians would be in the real world." But I had forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans that emotional instability, not having a real gender—these are actually kind of heroic. So actually, sort of, Steven Universe became the most popular show on Cartoon Network. I meant it to be a bad example, but I have people come up to me in the street saying, "I am Steven Universe! That is my story!" And I’ll be thinking, "Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me and never come anywhere near me again for as long as I live?"

Alan Moore, did you wrote this?

I want this timeline just for watching the co/ threads about Alan Moore version of Steven Universe

Rorschach would think Greg should have tried to kill Steven for bringing Rose back

Steven Universe directed by Zack Snyder

I want him to loves Steven Universe so Yea Forums can be triggered

But russia is destroyed and YD and BD have a cold war like for the controll of the universe

Every bit of character development is stripped out and slow motion increases tenfold.

Depends. Is there a character he can project his Margaret thatcher hate boner on?

God I need to live in this timeline

He would like Nephrite because she is the only that didn't get an happy ending and will always live in the pain and the solitude

And there is 50% of people that hate this Steve Universe and 50% that loved it and call who doesn't like it an idiot

Nephrite did get a happy ending though.

But he would love when she was going to have an unhappy ending

>tfw they won't release the Snyder cut of Diamond Days

I hated that Alex Hirsch had to corrupt Snyder's original Diamond Days vision!

I would lovd a demigod take on Steven by Moore

Then it would become a Zack Snyder's idea of making Steven a symbolism of ancient mythological hybrids of Gods and Humans

No, because Alan Moore doesn't like anything that wasn't around when he was a kid. Culture should have stopped at 1957, because nothing good has been created since outside of the works of Alan Moore.

How does feel like having Alan Moore's dick stuck in your mouth?

I wasn't praising him, I was putting words in his mouth.

More like putting his dick in yours.

Oh.......geez

He would try to write a parallel between him and ancient demigods or straight up turning Steven into the Anti-Christ but plot twist Greg is Satan and Rose an angel

Why on Earth would Rorschach do that? His whole decent into mad vigilante was brought on by his disgust at a child murderer. He'd never sign off on killing a kid like that.

Which demigods?

I can see him think postively on the way the show portrays violence and the ethics that come with that. and as many have stated before he'll prob latch on to the more miserable characters. I definetly see him buying a lapis bodypillow. He would also interpret the Daimond Authority as a critique of exploitive goverments that destory and expand at the cost of the land and native people.

Pretty much

Attached: WhiteDaimond&White_Pink_Pearl.png (1280x1554, 2.23M)

Rorschach would because he would think at Steven like an hybrid abomination of humans and aliens, so unworthy to live because he is over religious and believe in the anti-christ

Nope it is liberal trash and not actually leftist drivel.

Steven would either be an homage to greek and roman demigods where he got the best of the two sides, humanity and gem powers. Or he would be an homage to norse demigods and he is just a very remarkable person that it's not what is parents want him to be but his own person.
Or an homage to the demigod Maui and Steven is proud to be what he is even if by proving to be better than normal humans has to save them from themselves

But Moore likes comics

I would read

I want a series of au with this story

Those digits

>Gemkind goes extinct
Not exactly, unless Steven is included in the "Diamonds get shattered" part, and may I remind you that gems are (semi)immortal?

He would love it because Lapis raped Jasper

Wasn't what Jasper and Lapis did consensual rape?
They agreed to be in the fusion and they experimented that agony, but they WANTED that fusion

Maybe he can entrap them in a limbo like with the Black Mercy from Superman

>Possibly homosexual?
What about Connie?

>not actually leftist
Steven Universe still seems to be about abolishing hierarchies because of the Diamond arc

then there would be a way to bring them back or would that be irreversible?

Alan Moore is an old bitter man who hates everything. He'd probably hate you for being a grown man entertaining this question about a kid's show.


Alan Moore would hate Yea Forums and everyone here pn principal

WE will see how the Gem society turns out in the movie

>When Steven and Connie fuse into Stevonnie, they spend almost the entire time masturbating.
tbf, who wouldn't?

I expect nothing less from the ultimate contrarian.

He'd probably consider her a liberal and be annoyed with her.

...

don't call me out like this.

Attached: 1434586724183.png (700x851, 499K)

the gems on earth or the ones from their home world? I'm pretty sure the movie is mostly about a new villain (who seems to be working for her own; I might be wrong though). But leftism isn't about abolishing ALL forms of hierarchies, right? It's mostly about abolishing economic hierarchies (which then means left/right doesn't apply to gem societies because they don't seem to have economies).
If we then focus on humans; then, that; I don't know.

>But leftism isn't about abolishing ALL forms of hierarchies, right? It's mostly about abolishing economic hierarchies (which then means left/right doesn't apply to gem societies because they don't seem to have economies).
Not just abolishing, but critiquing and reforming all hierarchies. Republicanism is a left wing ideology back then against monarchies or feudalism like current Gemworld. Gem world would probably form a republic or a democracy for it to be 'leftist'.

Well, you can bring them back if you want.
But would you want?

Rep/Dem is irrelevant, what matters is if the society is capitalistic or socialistic, but I find that "real leftists" most prefer anarchism (society without a governing state) compared to any other.

Would the earth be better if there was anarchy?

So they can be returned? In my opinion, they're not considered extinct if that's the case.

It worked for our ancestors (just mutual cooperation). Is your view of (anarchy) akin to that of pop-culture interpretation?

They're in a state similiar to a coma, they don't realize the time that pass but they're alive. It's bad solution? Yes! It's a good solution? Yes!
There are other alternatives? Yes, extinction of them or extinction of us.
So, maybe there is someone enought stupid to thnk they were right and so he frees them, but I think there should be a system where nobody can touch that neither kill them because it's the most merciful option

Well, I know what the anarchy is by the movies series Purge, is that good enought?

>Rep/Dem is irrelevant
No burger, I mean the transition from a feudalistic society to a republic or a democracy would make SU leftist.

Purge is literally the opposite of anarchy. Hell the Crystal Gems through the season might as well be living in anarchy.

>Purge is literally the opposite of anarchy.
Are you sure? Every night at year every crime is legalized and this is anarchical.

>Hell the Crystal Gems through the season might as well be living in anarchy
Because they work on their own?

"Crime" is legalized by the untouched highly-centralized ruling political class. It's done specifically as a way of letting people THINK they have a release valve, which is used to maintain the social order the rest of he year.

The Purge movies are shit, but they sure as fuck aren't an anarchist setting.

Make a what if not canonically serie like this!

Honestly the only cartoon charcater Moore would like would be Uncle Grandpa.
Think about, Moore knows Stardust the Super Wizard. He sure like a omnipotent man as a distant god

Little Lulu
The original MAD Comic by Harvey Kurtzman
Herbie Popnecker comics
Grendel by Matt Wagner
Planetary by Warren Ellis

predictable

>Every night at year every crime is legalized
And who legalizes them? That's right! It's a POLITICAL PARTY known as the New Founding Fathers of America. That sure is anarchistic, really puts the "an" to ANarchy.
It's just basic language.

>a group of heroes fighting and solving problems without establishment oversight
He'd hate it

And try to work his own version as he did with Ditko's characters and created Watchmen

>and 50% that loved it
More like a vocal 5%

>Because they work on their own?
Yea

But they have a leader

He’d call it Estephano Multiversidad.

>But they have a leader
when Rose was still around that is. After that, it's either one of the four, or a mix of them. In some days Garnet leads the gang, then in some other days Steven leads, or Pearl or sometimes even Amethyst. It's still anarchy because nobody is a permanent leader (and obviously because they're just a small group and there's no government/state involved, even during Rose's times there was no state).

>Does it follow that I reject all authority? Far from me such a thought. In the matter of boots, I refer to the authority of the bootmaker; concerning houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or engineer. For such or such special knowledge I apply to such or such a savant. But I allow neither the bootmaker nor the architect nor the savant to impose his authority upon me.
They only listen to Rose and then Garnet also she is the wisest.

Wonder what he would think of Rebecca?

Could Steven change Ozymandias’ mind?

I actually read Maus as part of the curriculum during 8th grade English. It's mainstream as fuck.

He already did it -that amount- of minutes ago.

He would think she should being more realistic and explain the socio political systems in the world she created

Oh fuck. Well he tried.

Little Lulu is unironically top tier

Since Garnet is two gems is that a democracy?

Isn't Garnet like 2 people and so a biarchy?

He would try to bring distant and lovecraftian's aliens images to it

Rick Veitchs stuff probably
Also Cerberus

yes

Can we get Steven Universe directed by Alan Moore and Watchmen directed by Rebecca Sugar?

What characters are now gay?

watchmen already has a few gay characters. like that lesbian who was cut from the team. more spotlight on them maybe.

Well Rorschach and Dan have even gayer subtext now.

Dr Manhattan become the distant trans entity!

i could see moore doing this, since manhattan is both a god figure and also naked most of the time

How would his naked penis work?

>It worked for our ancestors (just mutual cooperation)
In small groups of hunter gatherers. Do you want to go back to neolithic technologies and dying from every septic scratch you get?

>In small groups of hunter gatherers. Do you want to go back to neolithic technologies and dying from every septic scratch you get?
