>James Bond is a psychopath, Harry Potter is the antichrist, Rorschach is a terrible person, and superheroes are inherently fascist>But the Golliwog is cool and doesn't deserve to be hatedWhat did Alan Moore mean by this?
>>156239624Alan Moore is a retarded Frankfruit
>>156239624Design wise, was it actually cool?
>>156239624>James Bond is a psychopathtrue>Harry Potter is the antichristno but he is a jerk>Rorschach is a terrible persontrue>superheroes are inherently fascistmany writers do end up going in that direction
>>156239641His original creator thought he was cute
Racism: badRape: goodThat's Mr. Moore for you.
>>156239685Retard
>>156239803Not a great arguement but ok
>>156239624Felt like Moore knew that people weren't a fan of this fucker but instead of reading the room he just doubled down
>>156239624>Harry Potter is the antichristThis was mostly just funny
>>156239979Sneed
>>156240008I saw a post years ago by an Anon who argued Moore bringing back the Golliwog's original characterization as a genuine hero COULD have worked if he actually addressed the elephant in the room that the fucker is creepy as Hell and uncomfortable for people to even look at in today's climate for obvious reasons
>>156239624>Harry Potter is the antichrist,People back then used to call HP satanic so I would assume its a satire on them before it being a criticism of the books.
>>156239685And the wog?
>>156239624I actually had a Golliwog knitted for my sister by my mother, I always felt they were rather cute and only realised that they were 'problematic' years later.
>>156240556Jk rowling worldbuilding is called “the death of British literature/imagination” or some retarded shit like that.
>>156239685How is Bond a pschopath? And don't say he kills people. He's a fucking spy of course he has to kill people or be killed.Harry is a literal child so yeah he's going to be a jerk from time to time but on the whole he is a moralistically good person. Rorschark is the most flawed individual but when push comes to shove he doesn't budge on morality and dies trying to bring justice to someone who murdered literal millions. None of your assessments hold weight.
>>156240636Well the books describe him as a blunt instrument, he derides no pleasure in killing but he also has no qualms doing it when instructed. So whilst he's not a deranged killer he's not sentimental about killing which I think technically makes him a psycho, but then it's a bit like that bit from True Lies 'Yes, but they were all bad'.
>>156239624My question is that if superheroes are inherently fascist then why do they save people outside of their home nations? They even save people from nations that are at war with their own nation. Why would a fascist have that kind of benevolence to outsiders? I know it’s a bromide designed to make people act a certain way rather than to think, but what’s even the steelman for a claim like that? Because fascism isn’t just generic authoritarianism, it’s an ideology with its own unique features that differentiate it from other authoritarian ideologies. You can’t really be fascist if you’re not an ultranationalist at the very least.
>>156240669It doesn't
>>156239624>James Bond is a psychopathSaid by no one ever
>>156240669Bond does care about people in his life and genuinely loves his country, though. Psychopaths can only really have one-sided or transactional relationships, which isn’t true of Bond. If anything it’s more like he can temporarily shut off his empathy to do his job, but he isn’t devoid of it.
>>156240788Sexual predator tho.....
>>156240860All good points, I was just trying to understand/rationalise why someone would see him as psychotic. There's also that great exchange in the Man with the Golden Gun (the movie) where Bond explains how he kills on orders and he kills killers, much to Scaramanga's contempt.>>156240909Yes he's not beating those allegations.
>>156239624What few people mention is that Moore enjoys writing these supposed monsters.
You think Alan Moore would hate Lara Croft if he knew who she was given how he wrote not-James Bond and Alan Quatermain (even if he was one of the more sympathetic examples he could've gone with)?Specifically the original incarnation>British heroine>Has zero qualms with killing, an old novel outright had her admit she killed a man while making out with him>Is a treasure hunting thrill seeker who does it mostly out of fun and became rich from it after being disowned by her parents>Only saves the world by pure chance, isn't primarily motivated by altruism
>>156240580I've read the other stuff but I've never read any gollywog fiction so hell if I know.
>>156239624>is kind and caring >people irl hate him cause of how he looksLol lmao
>>156241134Okay when you put it like that......BWAHAHAHAHAAHA
>>156241134Sad!

>>156239624You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Which seems in line with his usual deconstruction tactics, but it's as pretentious as it is humorous.
>>156241730that's a great exemplo. there is no problem with the cook here, the duponds and Haddock are way worst in desing.
>>156241019Yeah, there’s more of a case for Lara being a psychopath than Bond. I’m not sure she qualifies either, but she’s definitely a greedy thrill seeker who’s not very concerned with other people. Which is fine because she’s not supposed to be a hero.
>>156244456No
>>156239624That he is an out of touch Communist whose moral compass is so out of whack that Fascism is when evil is fought instead of tolerated.He is technically capable, but he is the equivalent of a master painter who only depicts a shitting ass. It will be a perfect representation of an ass in the process of shitting, but that doesn't make it anything but something foul.
>>156239624He's a "wizard" he believes he can change reality by using stories as a spell.His unfavorable portrayals are supposed to change people minds on their idols and in turn change their ways. He views Harry Potter as causing the attitude the causes school shooting and it defiles the Wizard title into something childish rather than dangerous. As a Wizard Moore wants gifted heroes not pawns.James is based on the original books.He hates superhero because people hiding their true identities is dishonourable and should be glorified.Rorschach is a hypocrite.
>>156239624Alan Moore was celebrating a racist toy that was popular among English children until the 80s. I thought you guys would cheer for Moore
>>156244639No
>>156244609He hasn't been a communist since the 90s. Opinion discarded.>>156244639>He hates superhero because people hiding their true identities is dishonourable and should be glorified.No, he just thinks it's overdone and have been used as a tool to ruin comics and movies.
>>156244761He hates James Bond because he believes spies shouldn't be glorified because they hide their identity and commit deception.

>>156244761>"hE's a SoCiALiSt, nOt a CoMmUniSt!"He, like all the other writers who crossed the pond to chide governments for not taking command of the economy to provide for everyone, is a Communist.I will, however, correct myself: there are no Communists, only Fascists and their useful idiots.
>>156239624James Bond is a benign sociopath, not a psychopath.And Alan Moore doesn't actually hate Harry Potter.
>>156246591>And Alan Moore doesn't actually hate Harry Potter.Ehh close enough
>>156239624The gollywog story was literally not judging things by how they look. He wasn't even a black guy, he was a monster.
>>156240788You've only seen the movies haven't you? In the books he's practically a villain protagonist.
>>156240049if anything that's incredibly based,he sticked to the original design even though that shit is cancellation-worthy nowadays

>>156239775>>156239624If you ignore the racial connotations of a black character with red lips. I think he's cute and quite charming.
>>156248072Okay /co/, can we redesign the Gollywog to make him look ‘acceptable’ to modern audiences?
>>156246549Fascism is just a type of socialism
>>156239624Moore's fundamentally British, which is why League is good, it's absolutely filled with seethe at everything that has happened to British Culture as it endlessly quests to become ever more American, so, you get weird digression like "ALSO, IN THE ORIGINAL STORIES, THE GOLLIWOG WAS A KIND MAN, UNTIL THE FUCKING YANKS MADE HIM A RACIST CARICATURE", why you get the section riffing on Beano Comics.
>>156248095Probably not.Pic related is a book covering Ghanian theatre tradition, sounds basically innocuous, right?Small problem, these Troupes were using minstrel makeup, white lips, the works, and significant chunk of the book is the author doing these tortured "WHAT DOES IT MEAAAAAN".Now, keep in mind, this is Ghana, fucking, 99% Black, beyond the original inspiration of Ghanian performers seeing a minstrel show and thinking "Oh, neat clown getup, we can do that", there is virtually no connection, and yet, the book is still obsessed on the racial meaning of itIf you wanted to create a gollywog that could be reasonably said to be descended from the original design, you'd need to defeat the kind of American narcissism that had this book, twenty five years ago, struggling with the concept that an Akan guy in West Africa didn't give a shit about American racial politics, and that anecdotes about Ghanian troupes wanting to bring the act to America and being told "....Dude you can't do that", is normal culture clash, and not some kind of deep residual toll of colonialism
>>156240008Honestly, that's the best thing you can do.Should a cultural artifact be innaccessable for everyone, forever, just because someone somewhere might be offended by it?How did we even arrive at this presumption?There's no law that says you can't use the Golliwog in your work of fiction. It is your right as a free man to do that.

If anything he's a stand up guy considering his circumstances.>many writers do end up going in that directionThat's more a reflection of the writer than the medium.James Bond is a psycho is you think about him too hard, though. His whole appeal is that he's a walking power fantasy in a snazzy suit.
>>156248720>His whole appeal is that he's a walking power fantasy in a snazzy suit.In the book I read he was depressing as fuck
He is a great English writer.In this board Alan Moore is a hero.
>>156248741Which one?
>>156240632He's right about that. Harry Potter worldbuilding is genuinely shit filled with lazy cliches and exists purely in order to drive a plot saddled with a useless protagonist.

He studied his bandaged hands.>‘When I was being beaten up,’ he said, ‘I suddenly liked the idea of being alive. Before Le Chiffre began, he used a phrase which stuck in my mind . . . “playing Red Indians”. He said that’s what I had been doing. Well, I suddenly thought he might be right.>‘You see,’ he said, still looking down at his bandages, ‘when one’s young, it seems very easy to distinguish between right and wrong, but as one gets older it becomes more difficult.…>‘For those two jobs I was awarded a Double O number in the Service. Felt pretty clever and got a reputation for being good and tough. A double O number in our Service means you’ve had to kill a chap in cold blood in the course of some job.>‘Now,’ he looked up again at Mathis, ‘that’s all very fine. The hero kills two villains, but when the hero Le Chiffre starts to kill the villain Bond and the villain Bond knows he isn’t a villain at all, you see the other side of the medal. The villains and heroes get all mixed up.>Of course,’ he added, as Mathis started to expostulate, ‘patriotism comes along and makes it seem fairly all right, but this country-right-or-wrong business is getting a little out-of-date. Today we are fighting Communism. Okay. If I’d been alive fifty years ago, the brand of Conservatism we have today would have been damn near called Communism and we should have been told to go and fight that. History is moving pretty quickly these days and the heroes and villains keep on changing parts.’

>>156250017I take it Fleming wasn't a big fan of the Labour Party.
To anyone who has read the books, what is the Golliwog REALLY like?
>>156250017Wasn't the Mi6 head revealed to be a Soviet plant years after the fact?
>>156250110I don’t remember how high the conspiracy went. In the movie, Mathis is framed before Vesper comes clean. In the book, Vesper writes a letter explaining how she was a Russian double agent against her will because her fiancé was captured by them.>His eyes were wet and he dried them.>He pulled on a shirt and trousers and with a set cold face he walked down and shut himself in the telephone booth.…>He saw her now only as a spy. Their love and his grief were relegated to the boxroom of his mind. Later, perhaps they would be dragged out, dispassionately examined, and then bitterly thrust back with other sentimental baggage he would rather forget. Now he could only think of her treachery to the Service and to her country and of the damage it had done. His professional mind was completely absorbed with the consequences—the covers which must have been blown over the years, the codes which the enemy must have broken, the secrets which must have leaked from the centre of the very section devoted to penetrating the Soviet Union.>It was ghastly. God knew how the mess would be cleared up.…>The telephone rang and Bond snatched up the receiver.>He was on to ‘the Link’, the outside liaison officer who was the only man in London he might telephone from abroad. Then only in dire necessity.>‘This is 007 speaking. This is an open line. It’s an emergency. Can you hear me? Pass this on at once. 3030 was a double, working for Redland.>’Yes, dammit, I said “was”. The bitch is dead now.’Bond truly did love her and was willing to abandon his life to live with her. That’s what makes the infamous last line of the book so impactful.

>>156250264Oh. Fleming references the Cambridge Five later in “From Russia With Love”.>For this was yet one more of those Committees of Inquiry dealing with the delicate intricacies of the Burgess and Maclean case, and with the lessons that could be learned from it. M had dreamed it up, five years after he had closed his own particular file on that case.>Bond had got into a hopeless wrangle with Troop over the employment “intellectuals“ in the Secret Service.>Perversely, and knowing it would annoy, Bond had put forward the proposition that, if M.I.5 and the Secret Service were to concern themselves seriously with the atom age “intellectual spy“, they must employ a certain number of intellectuals to counter them.>”Retired officers of the Indian Army,“ Bond had pronounced, “can‘t possibly understand the thought processes of a Burgess or a Maclean. They won‘t even know such people exist—let alone be in a position to frequent their cliques and get to know their friends and their secrets. Once Burgess and Maclean went to Russia, the only way to make contact with them again and, perhaps, when they got tired of Russia, turn them into double agents against the Russians, would have been to send their closest friends to Moscow and Prague and Budapest with orders to wait until one of these chaps crept out of the masonry and made contact. They certainly wouldn‘t take the risk of revealing themselves to someone with a trench coat and a cavalry moustache and a beta minus mind.“>”Oh really,“ Troop had said with icy calm. “So you suggest we should staff the organization with long-haired perverts. I thought we were all agreed that homosexuals were about the worst security risk there is. I can‘t see the Americans handing over many atom secrets to a lot of pansies soaked in scent.“>”All intellectuals aren‘t homosexual. And many of them are bald. I‘m just sayingthat…“ and so the argument had gone on

James Bond is not a psychopath. I don't know how anyone could possibly read the novels and come away with the idea that's he's anything other than a man of action with a heart of gold and a conscious that bothers him sometimes. There are dangerous men out there with dangerous plans, and somebody's got to go out and stop them. Anyone calling him a psychopath came into the novels with preconceptions that they used to pick and chose which portions of the novels they wanted to focus on and come away with Avery incomplete and juvenile view of the character and the world he operates in. He's a pulp hero, a direct descent of Phillip Marlowe with a dash more snark and a bit more of a temper. He's here to get the job done and by God, he's going to follow his code of honor to make sure it gets done right. When he fails in upholding his code, he is morose and downtrodden but he always gets back up on that horse to do the jobs only he can do.
>>156245905I always interpreted it as some polite, traditional, greeting among his people where you wish good things upon the other person. Like how in some cultures you can greet people by wishing them peace or prosperity, Gally does so by wishing them something good to eat and a source of sexual satisfaction.
>>156250858>other than a man of action with a heart of gold and a conscious that bothers him sometimes.Does it reach down to his dick?
Reminder that Bonds pussy hound tendencies are most likely borrowed from Roald Dahl.
>>156250989Absolutely. Bind has on a few instances refrained from pursuing a woman who refused his advances for their own reasons, whether they're in a committed relationship already or are not interested in him. Of course this isn't usually the case, given their nature as thriller novels, but Bond has not always got the girl and he has never forced himself on a woman. He's had more than one experience of actually falling in love and committing himself to a certain woman, but fate seems Hell bent on cutting anything but his trysts short with tragedy. It's one of the governing forces in his life and character development.
>>156250989Bond doesn’t have nearly as much sex in the books conspired to the movies. Most of the time, there is one singular girl he is interested in. I’d argue Bond’s only true romances were with Vesper Lynd and Tracy diVincenzo. He lived withTiffany Case for a while, but it was clear they weren’t right for each other. I really like the monologue he gives when he stops pursuing Gala Brand at the end of Moonraker.>Bond turned back and Gala’s eyes met his squarely.>“I’m going to marry that man,” she said quietly. “Tomorrow afternoon.” And then, as if no other explanation was needed, “His name’s Detective-Inspector Vivian.”>“Oh,” said Bond. He smiled stiffly. “I see.”>There was a moment of silence during which their eyes slid away from each other.>And yet why should he have expected anything else? A kiss. The contact of two frightened bodies clinging together in the midst of danger. There had been nothing more. And there had been the engagement ring to tell him. Why had he automatically assumed that it had only been worn to keep Drax at bay? Why had he imagined that she shared his desires, his plans?>And now what? wondered Bond. He shrugged his shoulders to shift the pain of failure—the pain of failure that is so much greater than the pleasure of success. The exit line. He must get out of these two young lives and take his cold heart elsewhere. There must be no regrets. No false sentiment. He must play the role which she expected of him. The tough man of the world. The Secret Agent. The man who was only a silhouette.
>>156251480I might have to actually read these books
>>156251498They are genuinely a treat. They’re written with a lot of detail given to the world and take you back to what life was like in the time period. It almost feels like a different world at times.

You think Grant Morrison's aware how much Alan Moore dislikes James Bond while he writes that upcoming comic?
>>156251480He's so much more than people give him credit for. I think a lot of people never paid much attention to the character moments that were sprinkled throughout the films that alluded to his depths. >>156251498You should. The novels are good reads and they give you a deeper appreciation for the character and what got left out of the films

>>156251498Aye, my personal favourite is Moonraker, but read the original Fleming run as they’re all pretty short and sweet.

There must be fighting constantly which spirals out of control.
>>156256735Interesting thing. I would add whatever happens to the ones who graduated and integrated into regular british life? You have sanctioned magicians roaming around Albion.Does the northern irish have warfare magic knowledge too?

>magic in modern society is hard. This was maybe my answer to Rowling, whom, as much as I admire her, I do quibble with. Harry Potter had a very medieval philosophy: that if the magicians where integrated into british society, Albión would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Rowling can say that Potter defeated Voldermort and lived for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Rowling doesn’t ask the question: What was The Chancellor tax policy? Did he deploy magicians into Irak War? What did he do in times of the Surveillance State? And what about all these irish? By the end of the war, the irish are gone but all of the irish magicians aren’t gone – they’re in Emerald Island. Did Harry Potter pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby irish, in their little irish cradles?

>>156257637Well, that's the same shit as superhero comics. If all these superpowered people and super geniuses are around why haven't they ended world hunger and cured cancer? They're too busy fighting gorillas with laser guns in space I suppose.
>>156258904Anon, it's a parody of George R. R. Martin's criticism toward Tolkien's world building
>>156251032So…the BFG is symbolic?
>>156251032Can you elaborate?
>>156259045No.Did you know Ian Fleming wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
>>156259084I know Ian Flemming was friend of Anthony Eden, nothing else.
>>156259084>No.Is aright, I love you regardless.
Alright be real with meWhat voice do you hear from him?
>>156259177I imagine a minion cute type of thing.
>The Golliwog can be exempt from racism accusations because he's not actually be a black guy>Literally the next page after he fully reveals himself
>>156255817The only correct answer
>>156259198is this from Tempest?
>>156248476Then>writing industry: male>desired audience: male>female writer creates male (female) protagonist>becomes one of the biggest IPs aroundNow>writing industry: female>desired audience: female>male writers create female (male) protagonists and male (female) supporting cast>"why is the industry collapsing?"
>>156240909>Sexual predator tho.....>>156240935>Yes he's not beating those allegations.It frustrated me how Daniel Craig's run was to emasculate him, make him gay, a feminist, cause him to fail whenever he acts on his own initiative, and refuse him agency if a woman is present.Even the plot was reversed compared to old Bond. Girl first, national security second, to the point where the summary of at least two of his movies was "Man tries to save girl. Fails. What a loser."
>>156259177It’s either treble-base or some ethereal child.
>>156259177This looks insane. I can't wait to read it.
>>156240669being a blunt instrument doesn't necessary make him a psychopath. It's more so he's not allowed to show emotion because in his line of work showing emotion can get you killed. Purposely stoic is a more accurate description. Psychopath implies he's incapable of showing emotion, he can and has shown emotion towards the ones he loves dying like Tracy Bond and Vesper Lynd.
>>156256072He does appear in the third volume, but only as one of the many bit-part cameos that the book is filled with.
>>156259241Black Dossier.
>>156259275Men are the only people who actually love their hobbies. Women are in it for the social aspects.
>>156239624AAAAAH AYIIIIE ALAN MOORE IS A CARD-CARRYING SOCIALIST EEEEEE HE KEEPS TAKING STRICT LEFTIST STANCES ON FICTIONAL CHARACTER, HE CAN’T DO THAT IM GOING INSANE AAAA SAVE ME MCARTHY!!!
>>156261120Unironically this. You realize that other people can read Rules for Radicals, no? The playbook is out there for everyone to see, and entertainment is a valuable tool for gathering public support, as well as moving the Overton Window in one's favor.
>>156261131I just hate to watch you guys beat around the bush your entire lives. Reach a settlement and move on!
>>156259275I don’t know, Agatha Christie is one of the best-selling authors of all time if not the best-selling at one point. I’d also be remiss to not mention Baroness Orkzy for creating the Scarlet Pimpernel and therefore by extension setting the template for every cape hero since. However you’re right in that they found success in writing men.
>>156261604>"Ayooo, these exceptions disprove your argument!"Why are floppyfags so retarded?
>>156259045Fleming and Dahl were friends during the war and Dahls intelligence job was to get close to high ranking American officers wives and "pump them for information".He complains about having to fuck this particular woman too much in one of his dispatches.
