I do not trust WB in the slightest to do a story about fighting fascism when they've bent over for it repeatedly.
-
The fascists are going to be woke-coded
-

i shall pirate it then as intended
-
"V for Vendetta: the Prequel" In this blockbuster miniseries we follow Guy Fawkes and the motley crew of the Gunpowder Plot as they plan their explosive demonstration of love for Catholic monarchy.
-
Includes a steamy romantic subplot where Guy Fawkes falls in love with a Cardinal.

How can we piss off Alan Moore?
I know!
-
Sure, but just by mentioning his name he's probably pissed off. He's written some AMAZING stories, but he's grumpy at everything.
-
The wifi password is I underscore hate underscore Alan fifty-eight and it's all lower-case.
-
Lol, a Smiling Friends reference for Alan Moore? Love it.

-
It's also a consequence of late stage capitalism that nothing is new but just endlessly recycled brand new nostalgia

I’m excited cuz if it’s good then I’ll be pleasantly surprised and it’ll be a great time watching. If it’s bad then oh well, I’ll pretend it doesn’t exist. There’s so much schlock out there that I’m desensitized to it all and won’t get my panties in a bunch lol.
Also it’s paramount to find the right person to play V!!😱
-
Assuming that V features in it, I agree that that casting choice will probably be make-or-break. So do you think they'll go with Chris Pratt or Timothée Chalamet?
-
-
I believe the plan is to just film reality. Pretty much lines up with the plot.
-
I saw a gamertag "guy with no fawkes" and I think about that a lot.
-
Oh brother. 🙄
-
To be fair, HBO is a better fit for this than Netflix or Amazon would be.
-
-
I know its unlikely, but what if its just the plot from the comic done well? Anti fascist as fuck and a good time for no one. I think we could do with that atm.
-
The comic really is better than the movie. I want to see the real V depicted in the show, would be excellent. He's truly a psychopath in the comic, a rather irredeemable one at that. Would be great to see the comic plot done well vs the white washing that made V into a hero in the movie. He's very far from a hero, I don't even know if he fits the antihero role either, mostly in the comic he's just a deranged man that's been destroyed by society, has a boatload of bloodlust and seeks revenge through some rather dubious means (and innocent lives be damned).
-
If I had a nickel every time Alan Moore wrote about a deranged man who was destroyed by society...

-
And it will be nothing like the source material?

What V for Vendetta needs is a shameless capitalist cash grab to really seal its supremacy. All hail the mighty dollar!!!
