I would love to listen to a podcast of Alan Moore moaning about the entertainment industry. What are the chances that they broadly understood anything since? This tends to make me feel less than fond of those works. Did they not understand ‘Watchmen’? ‘Watchmen’ was nearly 40 years ago and was relatively simple in comparison with a lot of my later work. When I saw the television industry awards that the ‘Watchmen’ television show had apparently won, I thought, ‘Oh, god, perhaps a large part of the public, this is what they think “Watchmen” was?’ They think that it was a dark, gritty, dystopian superhero franchise that was something to do with white supremacism. He believes that HBO changing the story of Watchmen takes away from the message of his original work: He has his opinion and he ardently sticks to it. He has never seen any movies or shows based on his work - watching them would be a “tortuous” experience - nor does he accept having his name attached to them. Moore’s steadfast stance on adaptations is almost admirable. Please don’t bother me again.’” Alan Moore chagrinned that the public associates him with HBO’s Watchmen I don’t want anything to do with you or your show.

The show won 26 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited Series. Look no further than Damon Lindelof’s smash hit HBO series Watchmen (2019), which served as a sequel to Moore’s comic. Even if you haven’t read his comics, you’re probably aware of the movie and TV adaptations of his work, most of which Moore has “disowned,” even when they’re big hits. From Watchmen to V for Vendetta, Alan Moore is the mastermind behind some of the most beloved graphic novels of all time.
