Which are pretty common ideas used in characterization in a lot of fiction. And they weren't even what Watchmen was about. The main themes of Watchmen were morals, responsibility, and power.
Thats some of the themes. However many would consider that breaking a few eggs to make an omlette and history kills truth were the main ones.
I've also heard it argued it's a story about the messiah complex.
Let's be honest as John Byrne said, it stops being serious when a genetically engineered, psychic brain is teleported.
I have never heard Moore speak critically of V for Vendetta. What exactly did he say he didn't like about it?
Lots of stuff, he said he now understands it could never happen in the U.K. because civil writes have been eroded and we have big brother here, however it is a camp big brother.
