I didn't rate the original comic very highly - I think the movie is great, though.
The original felt very of-it's-time, I think people who didn't grow up in Thatcher's Britain would miss references and subtleties in it.
I am bit bewildered that you can’t see the relevance of V for Vendetta in this day and age.
Nowhere did they say it was irrelevant, they said the graphic novel was “of-it’s-time.” That, along with the comment on Thatcher’s Britain, conveys to me that they are saying there are specific things in the novel that are referencing the specific political events/scandals of the time it was written.
Thank you, yes that's exactly what I intended to say!
