Watchmen was not anti-capeshit. Not even fucking close.
People see Watchmen as something different now. They think it's a story against the darker tones for Superhero books when it's not. It's the book that helped kick it off.
Moore's pitch was literally "Wouldn't it be neat if we had a story about Peacemaker dying and the other Charlton characters exploring his dead?"
He turned into a story that poked fun a tiny bit at the superhero concept but never outright demonizes the genre, just pokes at it a bit.
It's also in line with the general tone of a majority of his work. Even his capeshit work.
Moore also will have no room to talk about this shit because he did the exact same thing with Harry Potter in LXG. He blamed him for the downfall of modern literature by making him the anti-christ.
