Has there been any writer with a bigger grudge than him?

Probably, but I don't blame him for having a grudge. He puts out Watchmen and the only thing the industry and the fans take away from it is how gritty it is. So all the clones that come out are just dark and gritty with zero substance. Almost all of his work has been repurposed for a quick dollar. In the past few years we have seen a Watchmen prequel, a DC event centered around the Watchmen, and it doesn't end there. Tom Strong has shown up in the new Mr. Terrific series and Promethea showed up in Justice League of America. We aren't too far off from V showing up in Batman.

Lots probably, yeah. The "grudge" is made legendary by fans and media. To him it's, "eh, fuck the big two I'm gonna a do my own thing, now on with it..."

BYRNE.

such a sad timeland

The grittiness is literally the entirety of what Watchmen was, though. It was just first and well written.

The newest DC event is literally DR MANHATTAN VERSUS SUPERMAN: GRUDGE MATCH so he ended up being totally justified.

DC made the exact mistakes with comprehending Watchmen that he knew they would

1. It was not first
2. It was a reaction to the direction the industry was going in. It was saying "this is the logical extreme of superheroes taking themselves so seriously: something that's no longer really superheroes at all"
Instead of taking this as a message that Marvel and DC should take a look at where they're going and keep themselves rooted in idealism and fantasy, most writers and fans chose to fully embrace the cynical future that Watchmen was showing.

Moore himself doesn't seem to have that much of a grudge since he really only complains about the people who fucked him when asked by interviewers, he doesn't really go on incoherent ramblings without notice like how Sup Forums perceives him to be. That being said, he got fucked pretty royally by DC. They essentially scammed him out of Watchmen's rights then stole his ABC line right from under him not long after. I'm surprised he's not more bitter.

>The grittiness is literally the entirety of what Watchmen was, though.
That's a really shallow reading of Watchmen.
