The ONLY thing I didn't like about the movie was the absence of the Bearnies, because to me they represented us. I felt like Alan Moore was using them to say that we don't need superheroes to save the world, that being a herd animal mankind needs empathy more than anything else. For instance at the beginning of the book the old bearnie is paranoid about everything and young Bearnie is apathetic, two of humanities biggest problems, but as as the story progresses and the threat of war becomes more likely he realizes what's really important which is of course looking out for one another. I also heard Alan Moore say in an interview one time that the best thing about growing up in a poor neighborhood back when he was a kid was the sense of community which he feels is vanishing, so ah further validates my theory :P.

I'll let the unnecessary gore, the idiotic prison fight scene, and everything else slide because despite all that I've watched the movie like four times so thanks Zack Snyder but you still missed the point of the Bearnies!

OANST you really think Alan Moore is a douche? Why, the guy just doesn't want to whore his work, I don't know him personally but he seems to just genuinely enjoy what he does and seems very likable from everything I've heard about him. Oh and can I have your PSN yet?
