Forest Gump

Does Major Pain count? What was that one with Clint Eastwood as the drill instructor? Hamburger Hill? Maybe Soldier or even Starship Troopers, which has almost nothing to do with the book(typical).

More like The Zeta Project. A robot design for combat refuses to kill.

"It's 'Iron Giant' meets 'Up'."

You loved Kelly's Heroes? I guess that makes us besties now.

I’m thinking this could be a rejected G.I. Robot pitch that Johns didn’t want to go to waste.

@@BoSmith7045 Thanks!

@@renomaniquis4008 You maybe on to something a story like this shouldn't go to waste.

Redcoat has been out since 2 months ago. 2 issues in now.

@@alexphillips4644 I read the trades. I'm not a huge fan of periodicals. No shade to people who do, of course.

No, I haven't read any of them yet.

In all fairness, they'd offered him back the rights in exchange for writing Moore stories but he denied them, and you can't expect to just not use their IP's. Also, Watchmen itself was quite a clear ripoff of Charlton heroes, Rorschach being a pallet swapped Question and Dr Manhattan a serious interpretation of the Allen Adam Captain Atom, only for Alan to be annoyed when others take inspiration from his stories, such as Morrison.

The one rights of creator that isn't itself evil, is the Swedish patent of bluetooth that was made public. That was the last great innovation that actually did anything right on the CREATORS, the Chinese manufacturers with ANY hope for decent profit margins. In the west the only "right" is that of usury. Alan Moore "owning" his chracters is the same thing as saying he owns all the printer ink in the world in the shape of his characters, he's actually siding with the unrefillable cartridge lobby and Monsanto seed copyrights, NOT creation. This "intellectual" property intellectualizes everyone only with doublethink. That you, in "capitalism", are made illegal to use your star trek replicator IN THE COMMERCIAL MARKET because it' copies somebody's "property", but you get to monetize it through AdSense and google like a REAL capitalist. And it's not only specific items, it's rationalizing everything AS collective property, and having no other language to express it. Japan for instance doesn't and CAN'T have "anime", because it's like Derrida's Hauntology/ontology: in Japan they just say "animation" and there's a single word for it, no racial component to cartoon vs. anime. So is it any wonder, that when TOEI animates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with cheap Asian labor, that's called AMERICAN culture? What cultivation was there, when USA stole a concept of ninja and made it the cornerstone of Batman, and TMNT, and every Western Cowboy film ever? Steaing samurai battles and reframing them ahistorically as guns at noon, "American culture". That's jsut salting the earth unless it's branded US collective property, same as 700 000 000 American people who US citizens call NON-American. Try that in Africa, Call a Billion people NON-AFRICAN for not living in Egypt or being muslim. That's like being called "American" for living in annexed Texas and practicing protestantism in English. Or living in Crimea and calling yourself Russian. That, is Western Comic Book Artist, Alan Moore. That is spitting a fat loogey, on Marcelo de Sousa and Osamu Tezuka and Jean Giraud, as some backdrop, marginal "comic book" artists, for not being POPULAR in US media despite inventing all this crap to STEAL the RIGHT to COPY of. Even Genndy Tartakovsky BARELY is accepted when he gets inspired by global artstyles more broadly. John K. got his entire "anime style" stolen by Spongebob despite US cartooning having nothing but that and Adventure Time, everything else is Disney Afternoon japanese exports or drawing fromt the well of theatrical Disney. "Copyright" is death of the industry. And it is death of academics because you pay $40k to access the corporate owned LICENSED MATERIAL: it's literally illegal to LEARN and copy things into your brain.

@@projekttaku1 Moore originally intended to use the charlton heroes. i dont think that was ever denied as such.

@@rakdos36 the issue is that he's complaining about the abuse of creator rights when he got his start using a preexisting character with dubious rights, Marvelman, and intended to do the same with Charlton characters. But he gets mad when others do the same with his characters or take inspiration.
