One of the most unappealing part of /co, only slightly less worse than the Chris Chan vultures are the corporate dicksuckers who resent Alan Moore and try weakly to tear him down

Alan Moore isn't God and the entire comic book industry will change for the better when both readers and writers realize this.

Why are you making these threads OP

No he isn't and there are valid criticisms that can be raised of his work, but OPs is just weak butthurt flailing

>What if all literature characters form a Justice League group?

Noone says he is a god. There are enough who say he is a good writer but he produced weak books too.

>What if Harry Potter was the Antichrist and Mary Poppins killed him?

As someone who holds Alan Moore in the highest regards, I'm fucking dying with these two comments and I'm sure he'd find them just as funny.

>what if the very concept of fiction has been subverted to become a babysitter for our anxieties

Since people like to band together in exclusive clubs, hope to gain power and build a new upper class, give it 5-10 years.

Eh, if Europe is OK its very difficult to imagine that info being suppressed. I think the limited nuclear war is legit although the 'Left wing government denuclearised & left NATO so Britain isn't nuked' is malarkey. The Soviets would nuke them anyway so the USA can't use its infrastructure later on, neutrality or no neutrality

Wrong, it showed that comics as a medium can be like literature. But saddly comics decided to go the 90s extreme route and waited 15 years to get deeper that a glass of water.

Capeshit was always a mix of genres. But capeshit is also action, works everytime, and easy to diggest.

Based. I don't vote, either. As long as Emperor Napoleon's rightful heir isn't on the throne, I want no part in this demos-kratos heretical circus.

watchmen isnt capeshit

>I don't vote, either
Good. But if everyone knew that about you and then you told others to go and vote for whoever, they would rightly tell you to fuck off

>it showed that comics as a medium can be like literature
it did this while annihilating capeshit

That's a big implication there.

>Nixon gets Dr. Manhattan into the Vietnam war
>Not LBJ, the guy equally desperate for a win
Did Moore know anything about US politics in the 60s except 'Nixon Bad man'?

autism

(((Osterman))) helped Israel & LBJ out by blasting the USS Liberty, it seemed rude to ask for more

Yeah, every comic that is on par with literature has some subversion of standards or try to use grey scale presentation.
Watchmen did annihilate it, but Kingdom Come celebrated comics of the golden age, Earth X celebrated the heroes of Marvel, Maus highlighted in a poetic way cruelty.

But he was the president, so he would do this to make it quick. A long war can be a big dirt spot on your presidential reelection

Reminder that capeshit is term used by people from Yea Forums

Reminder because of the MCU it seeped into Yea Forums

Nah LBJ wanted re-election too and with Big Blue winning the war in a month, he would get it. The war would be over in '65 at the latest and Lyndon gets the glory

>people i dont like use term
>therefore term has no value

based /ourguy/

You sound very badass.

Are you the same user that keeps posting the Alan Moore hate threads lately?

While putting the adverb "weakly" in front of the verb is probably far more common, there's nothing syntactically incorrect about inverting the order, even if it does make me assume the writer meant "weekly."

But Nixxon was the president at this moment. Why would LBJ involved as president if Nixxon got elected and ended the Vietnam war.

LBJ was elected in 1964 and the Vietnam war got big under his presidency. The protests against him & the war got so huge in our timeline, he didn't run for re-election in 1968. In fact Nixon only came out of retirement because LBJ wasn't running again. Anyway, LBJ was desperate for victory from early on in his term of office and, being a ruthless bastard, wouldn't of hesitated to use Dr. Manhattan

Some faggots still use it under "hacktivism" but the time of using a persona for hacking is mostly dead and gone.

Actually this is a good question, Doctor Manhattan was revealed to the world in 1960. Why didn't LBJ suddenly decide to use him in war, was he trying to avoid accelerating things (like how the A-Bomb led to the H-Bomb)?

Go read 1984 you stupid cunt.

>Why didn't LBJ suddenly decide to use him in war, was he trying to avoid accelerating things
Anybody else but LBJ, I could buy that answer. LBJ though was a huge risk taker from the very start of his career (see the Robert Caro biographies for ample evidence of this, not to mention the Billy Sol Estes scandal that would have done for him if JFK hadn't *very conveniently* got assassinated). It would have been well in character to use Dr M in Vietnam.

>all futuristic dystopian fiction is 1984
you're retarded
it's not really subversion if it's that's what it always was anyway

Here's another thing: how much of LBJ did we see in the main Watchmen series? I know JFK was assassinated, but I don't remember anything being said about LBJ while the only major LBJ references were in Before Watchmen which you may as well not count.

Has Alan Moore ever looked happy?

But because Manhatten was avaible, doesnt mean he would be reelected.
>makes vietnam big
>gets hated for it
>dont use manhatten, because he is the a-bomb, to make his vietnam situation worse
Why didnt he use an abomb in our history? Because he couldnt send the biggest bomb. Thats why Manhatten said "what no president before him asked of me"
So Nixon would be elected instead of johnson in both, our and watchmen, realities.

Because LBJ wanted to get reelected. Thats why he didnt used the a-bomb in our history.
And Nixon was ruthless regarding to justify the means.

simpsons-style needs to die holy fuck

Well iirc the only Presidents mentioned in the series (the Moore-Gibbons one ofc) are Truman, Kennedy and Nixon. In the absence of any information to the contrary, we can assume LBJ was JFKs VP and then POTUS just as in our timeline. One reason LBJ was put on the 1960 ticket was to bring in the South who were skittish about voting for a Catholic. Theres no reason to think thing went differently in the Watchmen timeline. Even if we take LBJ away entirely, whoever took over from JFK would have wanted to win the Vietnam war as soon as possible so they would still want Dr M to do it.

>And Nixon was ruthless regarding to justify the means.
LBJ was every bit as ruthless and reckless as Nixon and then some. He wouldn't blink at using Manhattan. The comparison with nuclear weapons is weak since Dr. M can destroy enemy Vietnamese soldiers with precision, en masse and with little or no collateral damage. He can teleport all North Vietnam military and politicians into a Saigon prison camp like he did with the Washington rioters

The only other thing I can think of is how in the 11th chapter Ozymandias said that Comedian was minding Nixon in Dallas and that no one was sure why Nixon was there. Since Moore had involvement/approval in the RPG which outright said Comedian killed JFK (as opposed to implying it in the comic), the possibility is that Nixon was manipulating things that far back to undermine LBJ or whoever was in office after JFK died. Hell, for all we know Watchmen Nixon with the help of Comedian could've manipulated things to give LBJ a shorter term.

I do think LBJ definitely should've considered using Manhattan though.

which is strange because Nixon was fucking at his lowest in that period. "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore" was in 62

That brings up another question, why does Comedian work for Nixon?

>"lmao what if I didn't know what plagiarism meant and started a thread on Yea Forums pretending that I did"

>based squatch poster

Yeah after he loses the 1960 election he's washed up, why lift a finger to help him? And its not like Kennedy and Johnson were choirboys who wouldn't have plenty of dirty work for him to get off on. I can see the Comedian being used to subvert Cuba/kill Castro with their blessing

And for that matter what Dr M doing during the Cuban missile crisis? He can turn the plutonium in the warheads into lead and who'd be the wiser?

lmao what if I write a story set in an alternate 1919 where there are public suicide facilities but being homosexual is still taboo?

We don't know. We know from Moore's Watchmen that Kennedy didn't bother sending out Manhattan to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis (Jon says it in his narration).

>What if Alice, Dorothy and Wendy had lesbian sex and bonded over how they all got raped?

Didn't remember that, but thats crazy on JFKs part to neglect the option. Not even send Dr M (who can no doubt be invisible if he wants) to have a look at the missile sites and see whats what? I'm glad the Comedian shot him now, he's unfit for the office

Ruthless doesnt mean he would do everything like Nixon. Not since he descredited his rival with a "He will bring an atom war". He cant suddenly use Manhatten and do what he accused his rival of. Than all his liberal programms would be dirtied by using manhatten as a killing machine.
Nixon used him because the americans were tired from the vietnam war, while under Johnson was accused by killing so many vietnam people.
So its very understandable LBJ wasnt ready to use Manhatten.

Building up new power? He was angry when he lost. He was sheming in the background. What if he wasnt working alone but with a cartel?

Maybe he wanted to threat than show how op the us was? Or did they fully know what he was capable of at that time?

>Ruthless doesnt mean he would do everything like Nixon
Given his other options I can't see why not. Secret Pentagon reports were telling him the war was unwinnable as far back as '65 iirc
>Not since he descredited his rival with a "He will bring an atom war". He cant suddenly use Manhatten and do what he accused his rival of.
LBJ being a hypocrite? Yes, really unlikely
>Than all his liberal programms would be dirtied by using manhatten as a killing machine.
How unlike what happened in reality!

el zorro chino...

He doesnt want to be a hypocrite if he wants to be reelected. They were chanting "how many kids did you kill today, Johnson"
Accusing someone else to want to thow a-bombs than doing it withmanhatten would mean are his programs really good and can we trust him?

>Or did they fully know what he was capable of at that time?

Bay of Pigs invasion was in 1961, which was like a year after the government revealed Manhattan to not just the US, but also the world. Cuban Missile Crisis was a year later.

Manhattan says that JFK stayed silent about Cuba in 1961, so that implied the Bay of Pigs invasion was a failure. That said it doesn't say anything about the Cuban Missile Crisis, though; maybe Manhattan did prevent that for all we know.

January '71 is insanely late to bring Big Blue in. Nixon should be asking as soon as he's sworn in. Every insider knew there was no conventional path to victory since the mid sixties.
If the CMC doesn't happen...well that changes things immensely. Might even remove the JFK assassination if you buy certain conspiracy theories (Military-Industrial complex think Kennedys weak over how he handled it, lets get rid of him)

>Nixon was ruthless regarding to justify the means
and singlehandedly did more to reduce tensions with the communist bloc than literally anyone else in history. don't pretend like he would have dropped the bomb, that's stupid.

I like Nixon but he did contemplate using nukes in Vietnam

'Mr. Nixon's abrupt suggestion, buried in 500 hours of tapes released today at the National Archives, came after Mr. Kissinger had presented a variety of options for stepping up the war effort, among them attacking power plants and docks, in an April 25, 1972, conversation in the Executive Office Building in Washington.
''I'd rather use the nuclear bomb,'' Mr. Nixon responded.

''That, I think, would just be too much,'' Mr. Kissinger replied.
''The nuclear bomb. Does that bother you?'' Mr. Nixon asked. ''I just want you to think big.''
The following month, Mr. Nixon ordered the biggest escalation of the war since 1968.
nytimes.com/2002/03/01/world/nixon-proposed-using-a-bomb-in-vietnam-war.html

But then so did LBJ:

From the outset, LBJ was determined not to lose Khe Sanh. He pressed the chairman of his Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Earle "Buzz" Wheeler, to make sure that Westmoreland had everything he needed to hold the American outpost. Johnson put the issue of tactical nuclear weapons on the table almost immediately.
On Feb. 1, at the behest of Johnson, Wheeler queried Westmoreland on the feasibility of tactical nuclear strikes at Khe Sanh. The following night, LBJ phoned Wheeler to press him yet again on whether nuclear weapons might have to be used to save Khe Sanh. The chairman forwarded the president's concerns to Westmoreland.
dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/10/24/sensational-story-lbj-saving-america-nuclear-war-vietnam-wrong

It might remove the conspiracy theories, but then brings in the idea of Nixon deciding to strike back at Kennedy early on. I guess you'd have to assume that in Moore's Watchmen, Comedian got along well with Nixon to stay loyal to him, or Nixon offered something that was tempting to Comedian.

How much did they know about what Dr. Manhattan could do during the 60s? They showed footage of him taking apart tanks with ease in 1960. I'd assume by LBJ's time they knew much of what powers he had.

Scawy.

It *is* fairly coherent Internet, tho. Needs an apostrophe.

I would read a grocery list written by Alan Moore; it'd definitely be heads and shoulders above most comics offered today.

Third-degree butthurt. That's deep tissue damage -- the whole ass sloughs right off.

You'd just ask him in, say, 1960 and he'd say 'In 1967 I discover I can change size' etc

Pleb.

But unlike an atom bomb, Dr. Manhattan is precise in his attacks. The only reasons I can imagine that LBJ wouldn't want to use Manhattan would be:
-Nixon and Comedian coerced people to give LBJ bad intel about Manhattan
-Comedian killed LBJ like he did JFK and Hubert Humphrey became President (I don't know how much of difference that would make though, and I can't remember if Humphrey was ever referenced in Watchmen. Also did they say what number president Nixon was in Watchmen? Was it still 37th like in our world?)
-Watchmen Universe's LBJ is dense indirectly due to the existence of superheroes in the 40's
-Manhattan didn't disclose all his powers like said

is it brainless action with bare boned plot, rife with juvenile machismo and ended with the good guys winning the day? Like in the majority of capeshit?
