Another trailer I love: the trailer for Brave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGNe3SB9Fk … The movie was only so-so.

Disagree. In the comic, V is just a person (could’ve been anyone), but in the movie V is a superhero (distant). The movie is anti-fascist and couldn’t help taking digs at George Bush. The comic was pro-anarchist and more timeless. Moore was right, they mangled it.
It's been a while since I've engaged either, but IIRC: I felt the comic took many more digs at Thatcher, and was thus much less timeless. I found the digs at both Bush and Thatcher irritating; parochial local politics doesn't work in fiction, unless done superbly.

Your point about superhero vs. anyone is interesting. Next time I rewatch / reread I'll think about that.

Also look a the comic as a cogent defense of anarchy. An attitude that was missing in the movie. Making V larger than life destroys the anarchy argument because it says some are leaders and some are not. Whereas in the book, it’s clear that everyone can be a V.

Interesting. Not being English, I missed the Thatcher digs but I think you’re right. Agreed it destroys timelessness.
