Alan Moore doesn’t like comic book fans. It has been made clear repeatedly, such as when he called them “emotionally subnormal”, but he never loses the possibility of saying again that let’s see if we read fewer vignettes and go out into the real world more. The author of ‘Watchmen’, ‘From Hell’ or ‘The Killing Joke’ is 68 years old and very little afraid of what they can say about him on the Internet, basically because he doesn’t use it: he has a content curator who passes him what more important. Who could.
Trump and superheroes, relationship if any
In an interview with The Guardian newspaper, Alan Moore holds nothing back, burning all the bridges to begin with: “I’m definitely done with comics. I haven’t written one in five years. I will always love and adore the medium but the industry and everything that comes with it has become unbearable.” It may have been Martin Scorsese in his day who took the hits from superhero movie fans, but Alan Moore is much harsher in his words. Eye.
Hundreds of thousands of adults line up to see characters and situations that were created to entertain children – they were always children – 12 years old five decades ago. I didn’t think superheroes were for adults. I think this is a misunderstanding born out of what happened in the ’80s, when things like ‘Watchmen’ came out.
The author of ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ goes even further, believing that this infantilization of society leads to a much bigger political problem: “I said around 2011 that I believed there would be serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults lined up to see Batman movies. Because that kind of infantilization, which yearns for simpler times and simpler realities, can very often be a precursor to fascism. When Trump was elected in 2016 and we all took a weird political detour, many of the big movies of the year were superheroes.”
Do not worry about the writer, screenwriter and magician, believing that he will not make a career out of cartoons. And it is that his life outside of the comics is going very well giving fiction literature: “It is the purest medium. You have 26 characters and a little punctuation. With that, you can describe the entire conceivable universe.”
