Insane WATCHMEN creator ALAN MOORE: "Hey BLACK LIVES MATTER! I hate DC Comics so TAKE ALL MY MONEY!" 

Love him or hate him, Razorfist's take on Alan Moore ages like the finest of wines

Imagine sending your money to scammers that actively hurt the people you say you care for.

I wish I could be blissfully ignorant and lack self awareness like Alan Moore.🫠🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks Ethan!🙏✌️❤️🫶

And Here I Thought I Was A HUGE Alan Moore Fan. I Guess I Was Wrong.

THE INEVITABLE END OF THE ATHEIST BUGMEN

Alan Moore has been living in his own reality for decades. This only proves it further. I'd listen to him for anything to do with comic book writing, but I would laugh at him if he told me the time of day.

I wouldn't put it past Neil Gaiman to do something similar.

So I guess he wants them to buy more mansions...

Despite this guy being a magician and or wizard, it's funny how he got duped by BLM, but he's one of many I suppose. I've never been one to worship at the altar of this guy. His work does nothing for me.

Rorschach was the hero of that story, and nothing can change my mind.

If even half the stories I've heard about him are true, and I have no reason to think they're not, he's always been nuts. it still amuses me that someone who, at the time, was a well-established writer and knew better actually made a deal that left the date of the material reverting back to him open-ended like that. He's just whiney about it now that they did what a business would do and hold on to it as long as they can get away with it. If he was a newbie I could understand that but he wasn't. Its also kind of amusing to hear someone whose biggest works are all built around recreating characters created by other people whining about what other people do with 'his' characters. It is kind of amusing.

Alan Moore's Lost Girls explains a lot about him

The hallmark of modernism is the death of the heroic. In fiction and real life.

You mentioned John Byrne at the end there, and at his current age he is doing the ultimate Comic Book Creator flex; he has made his own X-Men fan comic, how he wants it done. I think that probably deserves a bit more attention than it's getting.

Alan Moore and Shane Davis have a similar look in their eyes…

Michael Caine had the best response for a project of his that he didn’t care for, his response to being asked what he thought of Jaws the Revenge, “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”

Something tells me Alan Moore's mind is no longer in mint condition.

Alan Moore vs Steven King... special guest ref... Mark Hamill.

I like Alan's work. As a person, he's probably in the bottom 40%. He demands you read into his work as he demands. You have to view the characters as he demands. He wants the lockstep. Great writer, trash person.

He's basically saying, "take my money and flush it down the toilet". Maybe that's his intention.

Moore is just bitter the characters we were supposed to hate, are the best characters in the Watchman. Moore's a commie, makes sense he donates to them.

Moore probably has a massive amount of skeletons in his closet and is trying to absolve himself.

Moore's early stuff is brilliant, still holds up. His later stuff is all over the place and some of it I quite frankly can't even look at.

Alan Moore thought SO HARD at the first half of his life, that there weren't any useful thoughts for the second one. But, Snyder's Watchmen actually had better stuff than Moore's comics. The plan of blaming Dr. M for the deads and the scene of Rorschach's death were better at the movie.

I think likewise you have to take anything Moore says with a Potato sack's worth of salt. He's in the habit of saying or doing provocative things so that people choose sides in the comic industry and lock horns with each other, all the while he's sitting in his armchair raising a toast to Glycon going "look at them argue over little old me!" Drama farming I think they call it. Good writer in terms of potential skill, sheer attention to historical detail, but catch 22 on whether he's a good influence.

Remember when Alan Moore was relevant? Black Lies Remembers, Pepperidge Farms Matters.

I don't get these comments, Moore was always a pretentious hack.

Comes across to me as self-absorption. It isn't about him making art that connects with people and in some way affects their lives. It's about him making art for himself. It's all about him, what's in his head, what he wants. It's all about ME.

Honestly... if he was donating it as charity, then he would have done it silently. Announcing donations like this is not for the charitys sake. Its for brownie points and social credit. Truly good charitable people do it and don't expect anything in return.

I loved the blokes work from 30 years ago, but yeah, he's been round the bend since back then.

If Alan Moore cares about black lives, why doesn't he support Eric July?

The only colour that matters is green.

I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to refer to me as Loretta. -Alan Moore probably

He has always been pos. It is infuriating what he and his acculates did to Steve Ditko simply because Steve was openly apposed leftist world view. People like Ethan still carry on talking points of the slander campaigns of the past of Steve Ditko to this day. It is despicable. Which I would think Ethan would understand what happened & what they did if he studied the history at any length. He was a successful industry leading creator, creating the art and story behind Spider-Man & Docter Strange, to name a couple. They decided to cancel him when he decided to speak publicly about his beliefs. He was Libertarian, Ayan Rand style objectivist. The Watchmen book was specifically designed as a take down of Ditko, his characters and philosophies. The commie media was more than happy to celebrate it as the seminole work of the era to oust the Spider-Man creator. Which work for DC to take down the their competitors flagship character image, by slandering Steve, and it work for Marvel for any further negotiations with him leveraging th public against him regarding rights with his past creation and any future work. Alan sucks and so does everyone else who joins in on the slander/canceling campaign.

When it comes to Alan Moore I love "For the Man Who Has Everything", The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (before the sodomizing cannibalism in volume 2), and I believe his "Twilight of The Superheroes" would've been his Magnum Opus had he went through with it (I took bits and bobs from it for the superhero world inside my head as well as a pinch of Watchmen [only that America won the Vietnam War and that’s because Captain America spearheaded Operation Vulture in early 1954 before reds trapped him & Bucky in stasis]). I hate with a passion Watchmen, I hate what it did to the genre, but I can't lay all the blame on Moore because it goes back further to Claremont & Byrne and what they did to Northstar, unforgivable. If a demographic commits more violent crime than any other group then it stands to reason that they will encounter the police more often.

There's a fine line between genius and madness... You have to admire the way that Moore can step so easily from one side of that line to the other!

Alan Moore? I thought he became a Wizard and went to live with the Hobbits.

Hey not everyone can be smart

Now, I want a Watchmen wrist watch.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. Moore has fallen into the deep morass of darkness.

The man's allowed to send his money where ever he wants, but I wouldn't personally send it to BLM the organization because they are grifters. There are better organizations that do the same thing.

This is basically the equivalent of having that uncle who was rumoured to be into drugs in the 60s but for whom you always had a soft spot cheerfully announce that he's decided to castrate himself with the pocket knife you bought for him last Christmas, or maybe amputate a little finger. This is the moment we all listen to him with kindness and patience, gently suggesting that he should give consideration to accessing professional support from the nice man who's come to visit.

He must be on his way out the door. I expect him to be an asshole but this. Just wow

Why don’t he just set his cash 💵 on fire in his yard instead cause it’s going to burning down businesses anyway

Moore is overrated.

HEY ALAN!!! MY BLACK LIFE MATTERS! SEND ME A CHECK!!!!! I'll wait.

That is a spot-on impression of Alan Moore.

Thanks Ethan! Can wait to get dark harvest (I got it all) and my red box CyberFrog 3!🇺🇸

"Moon Bat" Hahaha!

Y'know, I wanna say its absolutely hilarious that Moore picks the middle of a writers strike to stop giving his money to writers and instead give it to an obvious scam, I don't think anyone outside of the writers themselves gives a damn about the strike lol Moore is to me the pinnacle of "judge the art, not the artist", I enjoy his stuff, but man does the guy have his head up his ass

The 'Watchmen' film was awesome. It was extremely accurate to the comic. It obviously coildnt include everything, but you have to admit the easter eggs were terrific. Also, the ending in the movie made so much more sense than what's in the comic ffs lol

Funny he’s giving away the royalties to the … adaptations… not the books.

Alan Moore is going the way of Stephen King, great writers losing their minds to bad political views

It's so funny he gives it to BLM because he doesn't like what they've done with the watchmen tv show which was basically a BLM tv series.

I can't lie, the Watchmen film adaptation is still my favorite comic book adaptation.

Dunno, thought the Watchmen movie would have been hollywood cash grab trash due to the weird clips they showed in the trailers. But was pleasantly surprised it was quite decent. Even more so when the ultimate cut released and got to see even side stories in the movie done quite well. V for Vendetta can't really understate how that helped shaped future Anonymous movement, be that a good thing or a bad thing probably depends on perspective. a Lot of people weren't aware of Alan Moore's work, that was introduced to him by these films and now big fans of his catalogue. Watchmen HBO tv show was utter garbage, glad it got cancelled.

So glad I bought my Alan Moore stuff off the stands back in the 80's and will not be giving this dope any new money to burn.

You can only smoke so much weed before your brain turns to mush.

The story I believe I read that came straight from an interview with Alan Moore was that DC had made an agreement to publish Watchmen once and then after it went out of print the rights would revert back to Alan and Dave and they would own it after that. Remember, DC thought Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns were going to both be commercial bombs. But as soon as it became a surprise hit they decided to renege by keeping Watchmen in print, in perpetuity. Which, on the one hand, is what you get when you don’t sign a contract and make handshake deals. So Alan said ‘Fine, I’m waking away and never looking back then.’ Very Ditko-esque, btw.

I used to have respect for Alan Moore. After I saw this article, Alan Moore has completely lost his mind. He could had given his royalties to St. Judes Children's Hospital.

Surprised he hasn't renamed it watchwomen.

Big fan of his older work but now I think he's taken the crazy train to wokeville

Watchmen is rather boring and pretentious as a comics story, but fascinating as a look inside the head of a hippie sociopath.

Well… now I can’t buy any Alan Moore graphic novels, because I refuse to support BLM.

Well I guess I ain't giving allenmore my money anymore

he could have given the money to an animal rescue organization to continue their good work but instead of doing that he was so egocentric , narcistic and vile that he dumped the money into an obvious dumpsterfire so that it was all ruined by his own stupidity .

"I really tried to like it. I mean.. I really , really tried... I guess the tribute to Warner Brothers was... humorous?" says Ethan Van Sciver regarding the private screening of the upcoming "Cyberfrog: The Musical" Hope any future adaptation of the beloved fighting frog is done with as much passion and talent as the artist who created him. Cheers mate ^_^ edit: Musical directed by Michael Bay. With original songs by Awkwafina

Nigerian Prince on line one, Alan...shall I say you're in?

So Moore can now add "race traitor" to his resume as well.

Someone in blm getting a new mansion soon.

Uncle Ethan, Alan Moore is from the English Midlands, so his accent is closer to what we call Brummy. A video in which you try to master the Remy accent would be fantastic. You could then move on to Scouse, Jodi and take. I myself am a take, although I speak the regional variant known as dda.

Alan Moore is the Dung Eater.

US: Alan Moore couldn't get any crazier! Alan Moore: HOLD MY BEER !

He seemed so smart back in the Swamp Thing days, but then I guess he did too many drugs.

I literally loled when you said rub sand into his Vag 😂😂😂

Ethan could convince Allan More to support the Help the frogs by supporting Cyberfrog:Blood Honey Campaign to save the frogs

Well you know what they say about a "Fool and his Money"!

Ethan, u don't like the V for Vendetta movie? I wasn't expecting that. I love that movie, watched it countless times. Not ur typical comic book superhero movie.

I had a series of Watchmen pin-back buttons that came out right around the release of the comics.

If there is a superior race of aliens actually out there, I hope they have a self-awareness beam. Kind of like the POV gun in Hitchhiker's Guide.

Watchmen was produced in the mid 1980's when self published comics were gaining huge momentum. If ownership of the story and characters was so important to him, why did Moore not just turn in a passable story to DC using the actual Charlton characters and later on self publish the Watchmen story as a creator owned independent title? He could have easily done this.

BLM organizers need another mansion plus party expenses.

Alan should just mind British politics, he's 0 idea of anything sociopolitically in US

Don't have time to watch this video now, but from what I've read Moore is planning to give his screen royalties to BLM, not his comic book ones. Given that he appears to loathe most screen adaptations of his work, if that's his choice it's fine. He could have given to a far better cause than those shysters though.

When court jesters are made to think their opinions count = the current entertainment industry across the board.

Great news for new BLM head Cicley Gay who won't have to file for personal bankruptcy for a 4th time.

Moore has never really been in touch with reality. Great creative and creative voice! Reality.... well

It’s almost October and still no Rekt planet. No way in hell you’re delivering RTB by Xmas like you said.

Silliness. Yes he is just throwing away his money and to an organization that doesn't do what they said and say they will do.

Early life and personal life are not explicit, but they check out.

I met Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neil at a signing in London years ago. Honestly they were both very nice and chatty. This is him going senile though if he's going to donate his royalties to organisations that simply use it to buy mansions for themselves rather than help their community.

Old wizard trolls big studio.

Why is it DCs obligation? They should send it to Alan Moore and let him send it to whoever he wants...

I heard reading doomsday clock is a new form on North Korean torture!

You said it best. He hates the world. Always has and his writing reflects it. This is just gross...there are children with cancer. There are hungry people. There are worthy causes that could use the money generated by the horrible adaptions of his work which he "hates". 😆 He is everything that he deplores about humanity.

Hey Ethan I was wondering if you’d make a video about Bill Willingham telling DC “fuck it my Fables series is now public domain!” I thought it was a badass power move he pulled and was curious what you thought.

Buy Large Mansions thanks you for your donations Alan.

Imagine sending your money to the biggest scam in the history of the 21st Century.

A so called wizard has confusion cast on him, it’s super effective

Didn't he do something with Wildstorm? ... which is essentially DC?
