V for Vendetta, which then inspired the Occupy movement.

Wealth inequality inspired the Occupy movement. V for Vendetta just had a conveniently thematically-similar visual motif that was simple enough to gain wide adoption.

Do you mean the fact that they wore the mask? Because V for vendetta didn't inspire that specifically in the occupy movement. This was 2011, and anonymous was still a prominent movement back then. Occupy adopted the guy fawks mask from anonymous, who adopted it from v for vendetta.
