It reminds me the Watchmen. Alan Moore talked about how he despised the fans that identified with Rorschach :
Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I meant him to be a bad example, but I have people come up to me in the street saying, ‘I am Rorschach! That is my story!’ And I’ll be thinking, ‘Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me and never come anywhere near me again for as long as I live?’”
A few years after this interview he wrote the TV show, where the main antagonists are the Seventh Kavalry, a white supremist group that follows Rorschach's teachings.
- kaihanga 4y agoAlan Moore's not associated with HBO's Watchmen show. In fact, if you're seeing a version of his work on TV, in movies, or... any other format than his original comic you can be assured not only does he have nothing to do with it but he likely despises it. I like this quote from Lindelof - the HBO Watchmen showrunner - on Quartz's piece for the show's debut[1], “There is no version of Watchmen I could make that would please him. Not only that, but there’s no version of Watchmen I could make that he would ever watch.”. Moore's a genius and the HBO Watchmen show's amazing. I adore that both coexist. 1 - https://qz.com/quartzy/1732050/why-alan-moore-wants-nothing-to-do-with-hbos-watchmen/ https://qz.com/quartzy/1732050/why-alan-moore-wants-nothing-...
