Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake For King James's sake! If you won't give me one, I'll take two, The better for me, And the worse for you. A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope, A penn'orth of cheese to choke him, A pint of beer to wash it down, And a jolly good fire to burn him. Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring! Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King! Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

Yea I liked the movie but some parts seemed to be things the source material didn’t have
The morale of the source material is "england became dystopian because they've killed all gays in the holocaust camps and society can't be decent without them".
Really? It was focused on gays?
V for Vendetta is basically the coronavirus scam if it were conservatives using it as a pretext to seize power instead of what actually happened IRL.
Literally the plot is political party A creates a virus, uses it on their own population to instill fear, comes up with the cure (which they had beforehand) to get the populace to vote for them, and then once in power continue to use fear of war/disease/poverty/etc. as a pretext to enact Soviet level control of the populace.
The difference between the movie and IRL is that in the movie it was a right wing party, and the hero of the story is a lefty(?) who was experimented on who goes on a Kill Bill rampage of vengeance against those who wronged him. IRL it was the establishment who did it and no one has been punished.
The only real reference to lgbts is a short segment where V makes up a story about a lesbian who gets persecuted for being a lesbian as a motivation for the secondary protagonist.
Considering it was made by the Wachowskis it is surprisingly based if you ignore some of the very proto woke stuff.
I saw the movie a long time ago. Will look for the graphic novel
