Not only that, the show needs to confirm God, Heaven and Hell. I've read that AMC may circumvent the God, Heaven and Hell aspects of Preacher to avoid religious fallout. HBO wanted to do the same thing... So for all we know Genesis is an alien and the main plot of the comics doesn't exist.
I am not religious and don't give a fuck, but if they go with "Martian Niggers"... It is not "Preacher" and I am done with it...

I was pleasantly surprised I started reading Preacher months back finally (totally ashamed of myself I worked in two different comic shops for fucks sake) and I was expecting to hate it from the trailer and how none of the main characters look like they do in the comics. I dug it though. The guy playing Cassidy was the highlight. Not sure how I feel about Tulip yet.

Well they aren't rushing, unlike Constantine. No wonder it got cancelled, they amputated too much and came off looking like a Supernatural ripoff (ironic I know).

Just watched it. I'm a little scared of what it may become, but so far it has captured the whole over the top satire just well.

Tulip being black kinda annoyed me at first, but then the focus of my rage became the motherfucking character they made her into. Tulip is supposed to be the stoic and moderate Jesse's and Cassidy's madness.

Great show. As a huge fan of the comics, I have to say that I really enjoyed the first episode of the show. It was great to see my favorite characters come to life and exciting to know that, even though I've read the comic, I'm not sure what to expect -- but it feels totally authentic.

Eh? I feel like all the character motivations and relationships are totally bizarre. Tulip on speaking terms with Jesse during his time in Annville, Cassidy somehow running into some vampire hunter shit on a private jet and in touch with someone else in on the whole vampire conspiracy angle, Jesse wanting to be the BEST DAMN PREACHER LIKE HIS DAD, being on speaking terms with Hugo Root (who doesn't have a face like a bulldog licked a nettle) and providing guidance to Arseface (who can totally be understood without subs)

It's weird. I'm going to stay on this wild ride, but I'm gonna bail if these changes don't end up making sense. About the only change that sat right was Jesse and Cassidy meeting in a bar fight.

Preacher is set in the 90's or 80's but so much of it draws from an idealised western memory that bits of it feel ripped straight from the 60's and 50's. Jesse's whole character is the kind of deep south archetype that doesn't really exist in popular culture any more, he calls his father daddy, he smokes, he rides horses, he has almost outdated notions of justice and so on. The big divide of the series is Old meets new and it's represented by the fact that it's almost literally cowboys versus businessmen.

Did you finish the comic? The backstory shit you get on Cassidy towards the end paints him in way worse light than the voodoo guy's memory of him.

The fact that he [spoilers]survives, becomes human again and goes on to have cameos in other Ennis shit like The Boys and Fury[/spoiler] is way too good for him, given the shit he's done over the years.

Great. It's bad enough it's on AMC in the first place, the network that will give a censored 'fuck' to literally every show (including the Preacher pilot) EXCEPT their hugest show The Walking Dead because of certain sponsors. Chris Hardwick (a huge liberal himself) literally has to be a 'tard wrangler for liberal guests on his own show because AMC is terrified of offending anyone and losing shekels. There was one guest, I forget who, who wouldn't stop bringing up Congress and got a talking-to during the commercial break.

My thoughts on the pilot as a person who was a big fan of the comics:

I liked it till the ending, when Jesse annouced he would still remain the town's Preacher. While I get that to you guys antitheism=fedora, the entire comic is pretty much Ennis' criticism of Christianity and I love it for that. But Jesse remaining a Preacher is a totally 180 from the comics, Jesse hated being a preacher and wanted to escape it because his mother's side of the family where a bunch a crazed, rich, and fundie rednecks who's men all became preachers, and the family killed his father (Who was 'Nam vet, not a preacher who wanted Jesse to become preacher too. It sucks if there toning down the series, and I won't watch if it becomes that, I'll probably blame the AMC execs more then Rogen.

Tulip is okay, although she wasn't the type of wise-cracker you see in the show, she's way more serious and angry. Cassidy was probably the most accurate.
>>
So what this dialogue the same in the comics?
>>
I heard the rumor is that the show will stay in the town, not the entire American-spanning travels they do in the comics. Jesse will be a sort of vigilante who protects the townspeople.

Which is kinda of like the "Salvation" story-arc, considered the worst arc of the series.
>>
I feel that if you're doing a series that's batshit insane, it doesn't work if you do the modern TV thing of introducing dozens of side plots at once and leaving them all unexplained and hanging.
>>
>Tulip
>blonde and white in the comics
>now played by a nigger

Why do they do this every single time?

>>
>>69974954
It was more like "Fuck you I can take care of myself", while Jesse was trying to act as a supreme gentleman leaving her behind all big fights.
>>
>>69974954
Eh, kind of, there is a part in the comic were Tulip tries to explain feminism to Jesse and he admits to reading a bunch of feminist books at a library because he had nothing else to do.

I wouldn't call it feminist though because Mulitple times Jesse lies to Tulip that he wants her as back-up for a big fight that he's getting into; but ends up leaving her behind so she won't get hurt. She usually wants to break-up with Jesse after but he begs her for to come back which she always does.

Overall I would say it's a libertarian comic rather then a liberal one, mostly cause the love of guns it shows (Pretty sure Ennis is a gun expert).

It's weird, it celebrates American cultural and critiques at the same time. The most obvious is America's overall Conservative Christian beliefs being condemned over and over and God being shown as having a huge ego.

At the same time it's hugely influneced by American Western films, a genre known as being pretty conservative in it's messages. But Jesse, while kind of making himself to be a cowboy, is very much against racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry.

Jesse's beliefs are pretty much the same as Bill Hicks'. Hicks does make a cameo in the comic.

does it have the Americana road trip vibe?

How good it is as an adaptation and how good on its own?

Big fan of the comic book. The best arc is one of the early ones when he gets back where he grew up.

No road trip vibe like the comic, rumor is that it will stay in the town with Jesse as a vigilante type protecting the town.

Okay on it's own, not good as an adaptation.
>>
Honestly, if they wanted to make a bigger impact they totally should have had the church blow up, killing all the townspeople when Genesis finds Jesse, like the comics.

>mother's side of the family where a bunch a crazed, rich, and fundie rednecks
And that's an understatement if anything. They were batshit insane with who knows how many murders under the belt, the most dangerous bunch of people you could meet in the area

At this point I'm just interested in how far off from the comics they are, since the producer has to have actual balls to stay in any way true to Preacher

It's really underwhelming.

I don't like how instead of adapting the plot, they're mish mashing elements from it all over the place. Also that scene of Tulip making that ''cool'' joke (unfitting for her comic version, too) just tells me what the writers think makes a character ''cool''.

They're already introudcing a villain that doesn't appear until after the midpoint in the comic.

I was looking for a new good show to follow, but Ill give this one a chance for a few episodes at least

is it really that bad? I havent read the comics
>>
>>69964878
Well the southerners in Preacher are racist. There's a whole arc about Jesse being the only non racist in the entire town, it's kind of downplayed now that Tulip is black in the tv show.

That image actually highlighted some of the issues with the comic's narrative, that opening sequence tried too hard to ape Pulp fiction but Ennis couldn't emulate Tarantino's dialogue successfully enough and instead his exposition dumps became rather trite. Of course it was probably impressive from my teenage perspective back then.

The story in the show is quite different and it's too early to judge. For example, not killing Jesse's flock right in the first episode for pulpy shock value was a right decision. I think Calvary(2014) is how Preacher should be done, not road trip swashbuckling adventure type ( I mean we will get there, but not in the first fucking episode where there's barely any depth to the characters). There are a lot of potential and meaningful themes in exploring the town people and their culture for a few episodes.

But yeah, the casting sucks.
>>
>>69975065

I loved the salvation arc. It felt like a western. Like High Noon.
>>
>>69975605
Odin is the villain of the first season in the tv show, meaning that Salvation IS the first arc, somehow. So maybe Tulip being black is going to be the replacement for the black deputy and all the racist shit will be directed towards her?
>>
>>69979410
Really? An explosion killing people is pulpy shock value and somehow wrong? It's the whole thing that kickstarts the first arc and there are consequences from it.

>>Jesse's a Mary Sue
He got the shit beaten out of him multiple times, especially by Jody. Only when Jody's already an old bag of bones does Jesse beat him. Tulip morally rips into him and exposes what a tryhard gentleman he is who thinks lowly of women. God stops him from using the Word and rips his eye out. Cassidy beats him with one punch. Herr Starr kills him with one shot.
>Tulip
She got captured, beaten up, tied up and shot in the face. That said she is an extremely good shot, but that's what you get from being raised by a gun-loving hick, hunting game since you were a toddler.
>edge
Over the top. The actual serious scenes was the character drama like Cassidy's backstory.

It had some good scenes. It had some bad scenes and weird camera/direction. I'll keep watching it but I don't have high hopes.

It was okay. Nothing to differentiate itself from other flawed characters dramas on tv. Except for the supernatural aspect this show doesn't offer anything new.

They shouldn't have let Seth Rogan get his hand on this.

If they fail the Preacher, they won't make anything good with The Boys, it's way more darker and complex. I mean, this comics is not even Punisher Max level, it's some serious satire of the whole industry.
