I search for new Grant Morrison interviews daily
so do i, sadly there aren't enough of them
"America has lost its sense of the future" -years before the pandemic! LOL!! So bitter sweet, as Im not allowed to work, since Im not vaccinated, yet I do not break laws, I am not in debt, I do not do or hang with people that do hard drugs, wtf... I have no future
I feel so blessed to just have started that Morrison journey
@@Alonodahave you felt the magik yet? It’s like a ride, at least it was for me. I’m trying to get back on now. The first time though about 5 years ago, when I first found Morrison and all this kind of stuff I had some really magikal stuff happen while doing Sigils and stuff.
@@johnnieriot13 Great stuff! hope it works for you for the better... I don't consider myself much of a practitioner in that sense but learning and experiencing manifestation in many ways... so grateful for my way :)
Actually I lately got a book by Jan Fries - Visual magick. he's a great artist as well
Good interview. Tofu Batman came from the interviewer's misunderstanding when Morrison was talking about Toffee Batman (just like there's a flavor of Kit-Kat for every audience, there's a Batman for every audience)
Yeah, that interviewer must be kicking himself... Im replying like six years later! LMAO!! ...hey, whazup'? lol!!
I want to hug him so much! Thank you Grant!
"I've done everything I could do with American comics". I really wished he would have done more Marvel stuff. FF or Avengers, etc...
I can picture a future where we have Hobbit style homes with tech bits sticking out. Having a mixture of high tech and earth friendly buildings.
"How do you make a theme park interesting?" He already did that in Seaguy!
Thanks for taking over heavy metal grant your doing a brilliant job.
Your doing a brilliant job of bringing back the heavy metal I know and love keep it up.
I love Grant
Cool interview, some good questions!
Holyshit Morrison is the new editor .......might have to check it out...
11:47 "I love shanghia and the scene in the clean some Greek bonds..." the Closed captions bring this interview to another level.... Tofu batman ha
:52 straight up!
YES!!!! More of this, please. Most sequential web sites are just flogs for Marvel and DC -more Heavy Metal, Image, Black Mask, and Berger Comics =PLEASE! "Americans have lost their sense of the future right now..." no shi+, man, a bunch of 'Americans'/consumers obsessing on who around them is either from the 'city' or 'country', or who is 'liberal' or 'conservative', and then 'Americans'/consumers LOVE to then obsess on being mean/alienating/hateful towards others 'different', people here are entitled to be 'upset' or 'afraid' and get people fired from work, or not even hired, and the job just gets outsourced... Fu(k 'American''/consumer superhero comics, as all their variant covers, brand identity, advertisements and gimmicks enjoy those dollar bins they will soon end up in.
Cities are not even allowed in 'the USA' (people here would rather leave home/family/friends and go to overrated Denver than improve livability where they grew up), as everything is about strip malls, traffic, parking lots, everything is asphalt, and junk food, and REMOTE office parks, and REMOTE condo complexes and NOTHING CATERS TO HUMAN BEINGS GETTING AROUND PLACES W/ANY KIND OF DIGNITY. The USA caters to cars, alienating bigoted 'entitled' behaviours, and consumer anti-culture. We do not matter in 'America'/consumer land -unless you like not having long terms savings, and being surrounded by OxyContin/heroin/meth/cocaine (there is a serious heroin epidemic in 'America', and it is not a coincidence that the largest consumer market is the number one spender on narcotics = our 'environment' caters to nothing else here, but hate, consumer, alienate, judge, debt/fees/hidden fees, spend-drive-spend-traffic-screens). It does not matter if there is a 'republican' or 'democrat' in 'power', the USA is a fake country.
It makes sense that Grant wants to hire more foreigners at Heavy Metal, since they are the only ones in 'America' that will be able to afford, or be interested in reading Heavy Metal magazine.
>>> Did everybody from 'America' flick their finger at their screens enough yet making that good effort to alienate and avoid acknowledging others 'different' for today???? Gooood, now tell me how you have gripes about Marvel, and never talk about alternatives like Image, Black Mask, and HEAVY METAL, like a good 'American'/consumer that thinks places lke Seattle, and Denver, and Phoenix are actually 'cities'... (I know.riiiiite_ you are ignoring me flicking your finger at your screen).
This is why I left io9
@@huntercressall9728 Im not familiar enuf w/io9, but this is amazing, I think he was correct, yet now, we live in a police state w/the "carbon footprint" tracking that will be started in a few years, and more vaccines keeping me from getting a job will be mandated.
@@SequentialGeek io9 became a bullying site claiming to be about speculative fiction and futurism. It became a socialist struggle session where even if you simply didn't espouse their particular brand of socialism LOUDLY enough, you were pilloried. It got so bad that they enforced a tiered comment platform where contributors could bury unpopular posts so that they could not be read. io9 was a platform for bullying anyone who "didn't quite agree".
@@huntercressall9728 there would had been a time where I would had not believed you, yet now, after the past few years, no way, I totally believe you. I really dig this vid of Grant Morrison, though, especially him pointing out at the time the concept of "future".... Thanks!
The thickest accent. I love it.
Big Box ...that's nothing. you wouldn't understand 1% of a truly "thick" Scottish accent
something about the interviewer antagonizing, shout out to grant for tolerating him
what did Grant answer to the last question?????
Maybe, just maybe, he said: 'To skew a comment on this...? That's my answer.'
Q: "Which is cooler, Marvel or DC?"
A: "Which is cooler, Marvel or DC? Um, does cool come into this? That's my answer."
Right on! That bloody Scottish accent, man...
we need a tofu batman and a starbucks superman writed by morrison
Sounds like a bunch of losers who hate hard work and complain about first world problems. Not really what I would consider heroes.
I'll help you out Grant, I checked out your submission guidelines and we'll see if you like what I have. I'm American sure, but don't worry I'm heavily influenced by Moebius, Druillet, and steampunk and can't wait to see if my stuff is what Heavy Metal is looking for.
8:55 I’ve always hated this part. Grant said toffee, not tofu. Glaswegian accents really aren’t that hard to understand.
I’d believe in his magic if he could grow some hair. That would be magickal
He can, he just doesn't care lol
Napoleon Dynamite's brother?
Pink toethumb!
Mr. Slave?
Jesus Christ
Overdoing Tofu shxt
"The American comic scene and market is cliché, stagnant, and creatively DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!.
