    •  7 лет назад +2

      Only to find out 20 years later, they'd both stolen it off Michael friggin' Moorcock. You couldn't make this shit up . . . .If you could, Moore would claim to have written it first, and that Morrison had built his whole career from clumsily plagarising his work. While on the other hand, vehemently claiming never to have actually read any of Morrison's stuff.

    It's kinda said that these two seem to hate each other so much (or at least Moore seems to hate Morrison).
    They're both fantastic comics writers and helped breath new life into the medium.
    I guess they both just have fundamentally divergent worldviews and sensibilities which makes them clash as people. Moore deconstructed superheroes (by his own admission) in an effort to destroy them, while Morrison deconstructs superheroes in order to reanimate them for a new era. For Morrison, heroes are a source of inspiration, while Moore can't see them as anything but immature power-fantasies of little boys.

    • @MrGeorgFTW
      @MrGeorgFTW 6 лет назад +2

      Eoin O'Connor If you haven't, read 'Last Alan Moore interview'. Here's a quote:
      " admirers of Grant Morrison’s work would please stop reading mine, as I don’t think it fair that my respect and affection for my own readership should be compromised in any way by people that I largely believe to be shallow and undiscriminating.”

    • @mathewsimoes1639
      @mathewsimoes1639 5 лет назад +1

      They have a similar philosophy and view the written word as being powerful. They both view their work as magic. They are so fckn similar... except Morrison has only used rape once in a story (wonder woman earth one).

    • @Vindsvelle
      @Vindsvelle 4 года назад +3

      Voltairine - Your remarks are plainly false.
      If you think Moore sees "superhoes as immature power-fantasies of little boys", you've clearly never read _Miracleman_ or _Supreme_ .
      "I guess they both just have fundamentally divergent worldviews and sensibilities which makes them clash as people."
      Also incorrect. Moore dislikes Morrison because of Morrison's decades of alternately idolizing and condemning Moore in print, both in his own writing and in interviews. He went on about Moore, voluminously, for years and years - dozens of times, out of a frustrated sense of seething professional and artistic envy, embittered that he was neither as successful, as talented, nor as famous as Moore and could only produce crude facsimiles of Moore's work . Meanwhile, Moore only discussed Morrison three times - and only when DIRECTLY asked.
      The printed record - Morrison's own words - are unequivocally damning and prove once and for all that there was never anything resembling a "feud", only a third-rate chihuahua of a Moore impersonator named Grant Morrison snapping at Moore's heels.
      Here is part six of a seven-part, assiduously researched examination of Morrison's obsession with Moore and provides point-by-point research for each of Morrison's (indefensible) claims. This is the final word on the matter. Morrison hasn't got a leg to stand on and is a hack with no artistic integrity (but then one need only read his work to know that).

    hahaha this is the perfect metaphor for who's the best writer debates. Although my two cents. Alan moore is the better metaphorically deep writer. While Morrison is the better adventure story writer, making stories flow in ways and making us think in differnt ways.Although to poke fun at moore he'd probably demand you remove his name from this video as it bastardizes his work. (Like if you get my joke)

    •  5 лет назад

      You can't realistically beat Gaiman on any kind of Theological level or magical duel, because he's a Scientologist, and therefore too top tier to get involved on anything other than a legal level. And his writing style, although very different to my Khaos bois, is every bit as good. In fact, you could argue that its better, because his creative characters and Worlds now have their own Universe. I know GM restructured the DC Multiverse, but he didn't create the component parts of it himself.

    • @alphonseelric5722
      @alphonseelric5722 5 лет назад +1

      @ Morrison is not near Gaiman's level, I agree.

    • @alphonseelric5722
      @alphonseelric5722 5 лет назад

      @ I feel Gaiman can dabble with same Grand concepts that Morrison does and he has done so frequently, but what sets him and Moore apart from Morrison is that, more often than not, Morrison variably fumbles in his execution. His script is not as tight as either, his writing flow is not as smooth and clean, this, sometimes, makes his work feel jarring which is really the only criticism he gets since he always has great ideas for stories. I agree that a literary work should be demanding to make most out of it but I feel that with Morrison, half of that is because of his subpar transitions from panel to panel and occasionally, dialogues which feel out of context. Also, I don't think flawed, dysfunctional characters are exclusive to Morrison, Sandman is as much about it's human characters as it is about mythological figures.

    •  5 лет назад +1

      @@alphonseelric5722 I have noticed this with Morrison. He'll take on a huge project, like "Invisibles" and although it's brilliant, there are certainly some flat bits. And although he writes some stunning stuff, he seems to have trouble when it comes to wrapping it up. Compare "Invisibles" with Warren Ellis's "Transmetropolitan". Both comparable in length, both stand-alones, and completely original, but Transmetropolitan is tight. It has a well defined pace right from the get go.It's got a proper middle, a proper ending. And Warren Ellis never asked me to participate in a synchronised masturbatathon so that his sales would pick up.
