The Watchmen series went on to become a critical success, but in a recent GQ interview, Moore finds the discourse surrounding it confusing. Similarly, he wanted little to do with Damon Lindelof’s 2019 adaptation of the latter comic for HBO, prompting Lindelof to channel Moore’s spirit to say, “Fuck you, I’m doing it anyway!” He found the Wachowskis’ V for Vendetta an oversimplified Americanization and fought to have his name removed from Zack Snyder’s Watchmen film. Moore conjures characters and worlds, lets them live lives of their own, and occasionally pops in to smite them with disapproval. Not that he’d like this comparison, but author Alan Moore often takes the proverbial “watchmaker God” approach to his creations. Does he know it’s Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Regina King?
