If HBO's "Watchmen" has even one hater, it's the original comic's creator, Alan Moore. Three years after the TV series debuted, the English writer said he rejected the Emmy-winning series as his own.
"I would be the last person to want to sit through any adaptations of my work. From what I've heard of them, it would be enormously punishing," he said in a new GQ interview published Tuesday. "It would be torturous, and for no very good reason."
Before "Watchmen" debuted in 2019, Moore said he received a "powder blue barbecue apron with a hydrogen symbol" (inspired by his character Doctor Manhattan) and a letter from the showrunner. (Moore didn't name him, but Damon Lindelof was the showrunner.)
