The general 'this is how it should be done' tone of the post and the supportive comments is using Moore as a standard. Eilowyn's analogy definitely wants to use Moore as a standard.
But I'm happy to agree with you that a conversaton about the two works could potentially be productive, so long as the aim is not to say that Joss fails at being Moore. I don't think you are reading Aycheb's stance quite right, but I'll let you two converse about that. I haven't read Promethea so I can't have a substantive conversation about it. If we agree on the general point that Moore is not the measure by which Joss succeeds or fails, I walk away a happy camper.
