Watching the Preacher t.v. series makes me wonder if Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg really understand the Preacher comic book series at all. The comics aren't really about religion. Instead, they explore issues of masculinity like honor, friendship, brotherhood, standing up to injustice and other things girls don't understand. The series is basically a Western and Jesse Custer is a cowboy who was raised by a marine corps veteran and John Wayne to always have his buddy's back, protect women, and stand up to the bad guys. Instead, the television series focuses on Jesse as a preacher and changes entire aspects of his backstory and personality to reflect that. I suspect this was done because writing the arc of the rise and fall of a preacher is easier and in this current climate mocking religion is far more palatable than promoting masculinity.
It's a real shit adaptation of the comic so far, Tulip and Jesse's relationship is the driving factor of the book yet its impossible to see them even like each other based on where the show is heading.
I work at the studio, they gave copies of the comics to literally every one but I never saw one being read and they all ended up in stacks around the offices

>Use the iconic line "Until the end of the world" from the comics during a scene where there is absolutely no buildup or meaning
I have never raged so hard in my life

the optimist in me would say thats because they all already read them

A motherfucker gets his eyelids cut off with fingernail clippers in the comics, m8. It's just as edgy as everything else. It's not better or worse than the show. Hell, if anything, I give the show credit for not going the Snyder route and doing a Watchmen-esque copy/paste job.

I wish that were true
Also Cooper probably thinks I'm a prick and I yelled at Lucy Griffith once and she was nervous around me ever since
>>71965138
Storytime that shit
>>71965138
Why are Lucy Griffith's boobs so small? Can you ask her if she's ever considered getting implants for me anon?

Cooper probably thinks I'm a prick because I would always stop him at the gate coming in instead of waving him through and for the exit gate closing in front of him all the time while he was leaving, the exit gate was on an auto sensor though
I yelled at Lucy because there was a late call time and I'm processing the extras as they come in, anyway it's night and her windows are tinted and she tries to just drive through behind another car so I yelled for her to stop and what did she think she was doing before realizing it was her
She was super apologetic after and would stop at the gate to say sorry and chit chat a bit
I think she thought I was still mad at her, especially after everyone was getting lunch from a food truck one day and she kind of cut the line to ask for some condiments and by chance I was the one at the front and she got all flustered again

If they get picked up for a 2nd season I'll ask her the next time I see her

Every major actor I've met has been pretty cool except for Vivica Fox, she's a diva
Directors, producers, and small time actors are more likely to be pricks

to be fair, I enjoyed the Pilot as well as the second episode. I also enjoyed the 3-stooges-fight. I also enjoyed assface initially, before every scene of him turned into a repetition.
then I realized that we're 6 episodes in, and in essence, nothing has happened since episode 2.
even worse,last episode LITERALLY nothing happened, with even a feint of resolution in regards to the previous episode taking UNTIL THE VERY FUCKING LAST 30 SECONDS
not dropped b/c i can't drop shit I started watching like the masochistic fuck I am, but I really started hatingt it.
