The Watchmen: Classic, duh!

Damon Lindelof's Watchmen

Ah – I steer clear of ILE

Shivers at the phrase "true fans"

Uuuugggggghhhhhh

I saw the graphic comic. His mask is actually a woman’s dress.

*mind blown*

i'll give it a chance because i still like Tom King

also DC Black Label has been retaining good cover designers

That 'Batman: Damned' book is really nice. I have it on my stack to read next.

hope Alan enjoys this. maybe after watching the tv series

in his flat in London

Alan famously resides in his hometown of Northampton, sic. surprised at that from you

I base all my Alan Moore knowledge on the public statements of Zack Snyder, as fact-checked by entertainment media

Anyways, within a few decades people would still have forgotten the alien and the cold war would be back in effect, unless Ozymandias would keep bombarding the Earth again and again with new aliens.

just finished the tv show and saw this early thread comment !

ahh ... just re-read - its a quote from an AM interview.
that makes more sense now.

perhaps AM gave lindelof some pointers

Along with his blessing.

If Dr. Manhattan had just destroyed all nukes on earth, like the Star Child in 2001 or Superman in Superman IV, there wouldn't be a need for any of it.

that's not a quote from Alan Moore, it's a quote from Tuomas!

Wait...did no one ever tell you? Perhaps you should sit down for a moment.

morrisp you forgot Alfie O'Meagan from The Nth Man

I've never heard of that! (I specialize in Kubrick & Golan-Globus; I'm fuzzy on everything else.)

This is the I Love Comics board, what do you mean by coming over here with no knowledge of a series set completely outside the continuity of every other comic book in publication that only ran for 16 issues three decades ago

(did that sound like sic? if so please be assured I am only joking)

It totally did sound like sic! Lol

that's not a quote from Alan Moore, it's a quote from Tuomas!

― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid),

so it is.
apologies.
thought he was referring to the AM interview linked above as opposed to quoting himself on a dead ilm board.

TBF, I'm sure many people who've read the comic have thought of Veidt's plan as being flawed in that way, Lindelof included.

If Dr. Manhattan had just destroyed all nukes on earth, like the Star Child in 2001 or Superman in Superman IV, there wouldn't be a need for any of it.

This is discussed in the comic, and Dr. Manhattan admits he probably couldn't destroy all the nukes in time before some of them hit their targets, so that option is off the table.

I don’t recall that, but not surprised it was addressed (why does he have to wait for their launch to be imminent, though? he can’t just teleport around the globe and vaporize them on the DL?)

(Tho I guess the nuclear powers could always just built more nukes... which is a variation on the continuous-squid problem being discussed. How do you truly end a cold war, etc.)
