Because it was a flop, Fox settled out of court to make it all go away and this upset Moore more (!) because he felt it was tantamount to admitting that he had plagiarized it. After that it's not surprising that he wants fuck all to do with Hollywood. |
Well, except for the fact that noone was an ounce of sense believes Moore plagiarized anything, and the studio settlement was simply a business decision.
I do admire his committment to his principles, although I think compromising every now and then is a good thing. And, heck, noone really was at fault in the WATCHMEN situation. DC put it into print, it sold, they put another edition into print, it sold, repeat all the way to present. I'm not sure what he would do differently with WATCHMEN if he ever got the rights back, anyways? DC's always presented the work in quality editions, what would he do that's significantly different or better? Dave Gibbons seems to cope just fine without anyone suggesting he's a sellout. Heck, Gibbons might be happy that he doesn't have to deal with Moore's ideas of what is good business.
But, beyond that, I really don't think there's any other criticism that sticks to Moore. He's a talent that continues to experiment and expand the medium. If he doesn't want to work for DC or Marvel, we're not any poorer for it since I'll take From Hell over The Killing Joke any day.
