Grant Morrison - Deconstruction

[piratejenny66]

Grant Morrison FTW x

[BallsMonkey]

This is why Grant is the best writer in comics today.

[GaEv4]

This is why, despite things that he has done (like his take on the Red Hood *shudders*) I love this writer

[jackwearing]

Don't get why people struggle with the accent. It's not even a particularly strong Scottish accent, to be honest...

Anyway, I think the contrast between his ideas and the ideas of other writers like Moore are very interesting. He's a clever guy, and a great writer.

Morrison does have some cliched tropes & a style that at best was taking stupid characters and concepts especially from DC's history and crafting good stories with them.

At worst his villains are the same one note cliches" mwahaha evil" without any motivation or philosophy or fun or charisma, Drugs are the mark of a morrison story & ridiculous plot twists, out of character behavior by long-established characters, and of course gratuitous sex and violence

[johnnythunder19]

Grant Morrison is the best. ever

[kungfuhustler84]

this guy gets it

[LordBifford]

Grant is a big romantic. The problem is sometimes his romantic ideals feel so disconnected they can feel like delusions. The art of romance is to take a person who lives mostly in reality and fan the embers of whatever romantic notions he might still cling to. You cannot just abruptly take someone to Narnia - they must stumble through the wardrobe first.

Final Crisis felt rather weird. It's a fantasy world that may make perfect sense to Morrison, but it was so distant for me.

[WeepingSpectre]

i love his voice..and from what ive read of his hes a good writer

[TheLouise116]

he make me proud to be from glasgow

Anyone who thinks he is a genius is under this man's spell. The spell is called Grant's bullshit. Everything he has done, has been a rip off of something he has read or watched. Animal Man = Swamp Thing, Zenith = Miracleman,  Bible John = From Hell. Arkham Asylum is not a story, its a book filled with concepts. Read it! Now he wants to say his works of deconstructing characters is different from the original title that began the modern era.

[elliottcborders]

@youngace187 Alan Moore didn't create comics, Grant's been messing with them just as long and he doesn't go missing/crazy (without documenting it into a psychedelic storyline) for years and waste his talent like Alan is now

[SovereignBeing]

mm sexy...

[ZipBlockBloody]

I love how he does not want to make realism just make a good Superhero comic.

[artemisharper]

I love listening to him talk. XD

But I also LOVED Animal Man; keep on doing great things!

[archer1949]

This motherfucker is a GENIUS!

[8FtSpider]

Thank god for Morrison.

[NearXLifeXExperience]

@8FtSpider and Jim too.

[stigler30]

Did you understand one word he said?

[doogsby]

@stigler30 Don't be so pathetic.

[stigler30]

@doogsby Whats pathetic about not being able to understand someone else's accent very well?

[doogsby]

@stigler30  Okay - where are you from, Mars? It's just a Scottish accent, it's not that hard to figure out.

[stigler30]

@doogsby And it's a super thick Scottish accent at that. I'm from America I don't hear accents like that everyday.

[FonedykSosajedi]

@stigler30 WOCh "Trainspotting" SEVEROL TAJMZ; JU'L HAV NOW ChRABOL ANDErSTANDING HYM.

[anntkrst]

Thats right Grant, but you did do Animal Man and that was part of the deconstruction phase, and it fukkin rocked.

[Votapardo]

The only comic book writer I love to reread again and again.

[hanshotfirst1138]

@Votapardo Him and Moore. And Gaiman perhaps.

[BMUHTDER]

A wonderful artist. One of the greatest creative thinkers of our time for sure ^^

[liverawkstar]

@BMUHTDER

no doubt,

He entered my own personal world of "who" I consider great mystics/philosophers when I saw a vid of his disinfo con 2000 lecture

[Coalkey23]

Oh, Grant...

You can swear as MUCH as you want, man
