Why is he so grumpy?
>>80877913
because dc and marvel are terrible
Because he´s old and people only know him for writing comicbooks
He was right.
>>80877913
Because everyone thinks the characters he created to critique certain philosophies are unironic heroes to be admired/emulated.
Also because his pet peeves has become pop culture's favorite things.

He didn't expect Euron to win the kingsmoot

He's old. His first wife left him for their live-in girlfriend. His country's shit and gets shittier by the year. He changed Superhero comics forever and instantly regretted it when people only copied the edge and not the sophistication. People only ever talk to him about things that make him mad in interviews when he only want to talk about comics which make him happy. Jerusalem STILL isn't finished yet. Grant Morrison does the magical equivalent of pissing in his mailbox. His curse on every single person involved in making the Watchmen movie didn't work. Well meaning passerby's mistake for him for a derelict and keep giving him blankets and canned food. He needs to smoke thirty spliffs a day just to perform basic human functions. He lives in Northampton.

Imagine if every person who comes up to you only wants to talk about the same 3 or 4 things you wrote in a very short period of your life.
It's like being a rock star, except without being rich.
Because it's been 20 years and nothing has changed, comic books still circulate the same characters for commercial use and none of the characters he wrote about ended up aging at all.

no matter how hard he tries he can't write moral ambiguity, he always compulsively tips the scales then denies he ever did

If Moore is the principled uncompromising ideologue Stallman, then who is the pragmatic practical get-shit-done Linus? Gary Groth or Eric Stephenson?
>>80880727
Stephenson for sure
>>80877913
He's an artist. You can't understand his pain.

I've heard this general thing before, but what the hell is it talking about?

Decades and decades ago, Moore was writing a comic called Marvelman/Miracleman (the name had to be changed due to various legal issues).
Morrison liked Miracleman, so he sent Moore a request for permission to write a Miracleman story, and he even sent Moore a script for said story.
Moore read the script, didn't like it and rejected the request.
Morrison was butthurt and started talking shit about Moore at every available opportunity (Morrison refers to this phase of his life as his "enfant terrible" phase).
Morrison has since outgrown his shit-talking punk phase, but I don't think that he ever apologized to Moore.
Now it's Moore's turn to be butthurt, and he says negative things about Morrison whenever interviewers ask him questions about Morrison.
/co/ likes memes, so /co/ pretends that they're in a magical wizard war which consumes their entire existence, but that's just /co/ meming it up.
Sage because meme threads are dumb.
