At TCA in 2019, showrunner Damon Lindelof fielded a lot of questions about his upcoming Watchmen series for HBO. Specifically, he was asked about how the small screen project may or may n…

co-creator, Lindelof sent him a self-deprecating letter that attempted to recognize Moore’s gripes while establishing a connection. “Dear Mr. Moore, I am one of the bastards currently destroying “That wasn’t the best opener,” noted Moore. “It went on through a lot of, what seemed to me to be, neurotic rambling. ‘Can you at least tell us how to pronounce “Ozymandias?” ‘ I got back with a very abrupt and probably hostile reply telling him that I’d thought that Warner Bros.

Moore continued, “I explained that I had disowned the work in question, and partly that was because the film industry and the comics industry seemed to have created things that had nothing to do with my work, but which would be associated with it in the public mind. I said, ‘Look, this is embarrassing to me. I don’t want anything to do with you or your show. Please don’t bother me again.’ ““I would be the last person to want to sit through any adaptations of my work,” he said.

i mean, he didnt like the movie either so no real big shock here

When do we get a season 2

Not necessarily a bad thing as it allowed the showrunner to do his own thing. I don’t think Moore was involved with the Doomsday Clock comic run either. Moore is 68, he said he’s done with comics. I think he’s earned the right to be a cranky old curmudgeon.

I know how everyone loves this show, but the comics are all about how both sides of the story are right and wrong at the same time. While the TV Show has an almost perfect heroine fighting against Nazis. It didn't understand the idea of the original source IMO

Love to see it

Alan knew they was bastardizing his work, good for refusing to be a part of it

I can understand not wanting to be involved but the way he said things doesn't put in him the best light.

Such a prick

It’s unfortunate he’s missing out. What a powerful, beautiful story. 🙌💜

Watchmen is great and really underrated show. It was a unique style of storytelling. Also actors, visual and soundtrack were amazing and much better than all another comic book series

Rude

Such a shame tbh I respect Alan but this is an L for him
