>AMC’s Preacher pilot is an ultra violent, shockingly witty, heightened reality tale of supernatural mayhem in a West Texas town — and it’s very different from the infamous gleefully blasphemous trope-busting comic that it’s based on.
>“I don’t know that you could translate it directly [from the comic],” said executive producer Seth Rogen (yup, that Seth Rogen). “Everybody involved felt we should not — including [comic creator Garth Ennis].”
>“We’re fans of the comic,” Rogen continued. “We love the comic. We’re going to make a show we like, so we hope that that translates to people that love the comic as well. But our first and foremost goal is to make a great, entertaining, fun television show that if you never heard of the comic book, you love. We want the show to be fun for regular people without sick sensibilities.”

I fucking hate that piece of shit talentless hack.
>>78814503
That sounds fucking awful. Someone should bomb AMC so they stop raping good comics.
>>78814503
I wish Seth Rogen would fade into obscurity faster. The only thing of value he's done is this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O29A_0quGLQ
That's funny Seth, considering that the HBO show they were going to do was basically shot for shot the comic in live action.
Oh well, I'll watch it anyway.
People are saying the tone's the same so I have hope. Better to be an iZombie than a Watchmen
I personally disagree that Preacher couldn't be directly translated, but whatever. It's conjecture until the finished product is in front of me, but as a very large fan of the original work I'm concerned.
>>78814745
That's a shame because from the quote it sounds like AMC's version will have nothing to do with the story.

It couldn't on AMC is what Rogen should have said.
>>78814745
What the fuck is HBOs problem? They will make the Leftovers and Hey Ladies but passed on Mad Men, The Walking Dead and now Preacher. Who is the retard making these calls?
If I wanted a exact replica of Preacher...then i would go back and read Preacher?
>>78814871
Fuck off shill.
Good, the original series is fedora-tipping anti-Christian BS as if Ennis would dare mock Islam the same way. He's a coward.
>>78814883
Christianity is the most insane and unrealistic religion. Yeah a vengeful petty god that attacks and punishes people and watched your every move. Oh wait that's petty let's make him not interfere at all now.
It's a terrible piece of fiction with inconsistent writing and makes little to no sense, even when taken in a metaphorical sense.
>seth rogan is involved
Well thats one show I dont have to worry about watching.

Someone seems to be still upset about being forced to go to church on Sundays
>>78814973
All Abrahamic religions are ridiculous. But Jesus wasn't a pedophile like Mohammed was.
>>78814871
Why would anyone read Preacher twice? I read until Alamo waiting for it to get good and all it did was get worse and worse.
So it's shit.
>>78814503
Is this all just going to take place in one town?
Is this show really going to be The Preacher in name only?
>>78815041
Maybe he should have gone to a better church, then. My sunday school was awesome.
We spent every sunday being taught about everyone else's religions and beliefs instead of the ones being sermonized upstairs. Until we ran out of religions, and then we moved onto sex ed.
>>78815231
I got molested by this early 20s nun. She'd take me off alone and suck my penis til I came then tell me that this was a part of the service and to keep it secret from my mom or God would be upset.
>>78815051
And Lot offered his daughters to be gang-raped. The Bible and Quran both have shitty heroes.
>>78815296
Are you humblebragging being raped?
>>78814871
You know what? I agree with you.
I don't care for adaptations that are 100% like the source material. As long as the violence and dark humor is in the show, then I'm fine with this.
>>78815328
There are also some daughters in the bible that rape their dad so they can have babies.
>>78815353
Even as a child, I knew that was hot
>>78815296
>>78815328
Yeah but the central figure of Christianity that people aspire to be like wasn't a pedophile like Mohammed was. Most Christians probably don't care about Lot whereas Muslims are batshit crazy for Mo.
>>78815345
Not really, I was too young to really enjoy it. She is responsible for my swallow fetish though. I can't get off if a girl spits.
And lets not forget that time some dudes son got a city of men drunk and then cut off all their foreskins
>>78815399
Dude Jesus was banging a prostitute. Jesus was literally a cuck and given the times she was probably 15. Everyone was a pedo back then.
>>78814848

Mohammed had sex with a nine year old girl. He would rub his dick on her thighs when she was six. He was a sick fuck.
>>78815467
I'm not arguing he wasn't, but Jesus did some sick shit in his youth too. The damn Vatican won't even release the whole Bible that's why there is that massive time skip. They say what he didn't in his youth "isn't relevant."
>>78815505
You're making a lot of assumptions based on little.
If there was a slightest suggestion Jesus was at all a sexual deviant people would be all over it.
Whereas Mohammed having a sex with a nine year old is fact.
>>78815404
>I can't get off if a girl spits.
That's some timey-wimey bullshit right there. You already came, nigga.

Reminder that JC's mom was 12 when she was to be married.
>>78815505
you gotta source on that?

Look it up man. If you were raised Christian you'd already know this. It's not like the Vatican hides it.
>>78815551
Okay? Islam is shit, whatever, nobody cares. Islam isn't relevant to this thread. Shut up.
>>78814503
Making the show for anyone but nihilistic people with wicked senses of humor.
>>78815565
The Vatican removed 14 books from the bible in 1684 all pertaining to Jesus' youth.
>>78815658
Yeah? And that's evidence of what?
>>78814503
Fuck this Banshee coat tail riding rape of a legendary story in the hot coals with the with a sack the castrated testicles of the jew cocks that spawned it. Dickless shit aging generation x business man cock sucking pothead junkie cunts.
>>78815603
>If you were raised Christian you'd already know this
Don't do that. It's not like anyone ever mentions it in church
>>78815684
I mean the Deacon at my school blatantly told us, usually someone ask what's up with the time skip.

Christians fucking love Lot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lot_%28biblical_person%29#Christian_view
>>78815658
The books that were removed are usually due to the dubious nature of their authenticity.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all were written within the lifetime that their authors could have lived. The rest? A good deal beyond that point.
>>78815658
No, the Protestants removed a bunch of books from the Bible because they didn't fit their worldview, and that was long before your supposed date. If that were the case, then those books would be in the Protestant and Orthodox Bibles
I don't really mind if they change the plot, the characterization was always the strongest element.
>>78814503
I might actually like this then.
>>78815353
You two are talking about the same people. Those WERE Lot's daughters.
>>78816467
that's fucking bullshit.
The data puts Matthew, Mark and Luke in the next order
Mark as the proto book, circa 60
Matthew as the one that added oral traditions to the books, circa 80
Luke added even more oral traditions and gets put at 90-100
John is put at 100-120
That fucking means that the only book that could have been written by the dude the book is named for is Mark. Every historian worth his fucking salt knows that the New Testament books were picked up and corrected/changed as it fit the Catholic Church views at least until Lutheran's bullshit
>>78817244
Characterization doesn't remain when you remove motivations.

Well hell, if even Garth Ennis says the show shouldn't reflect the comic should we at least respect that?
Oh wait what am I talking about? This is 4chan.
>>78817868
The removed books are still canon. From what I heard, there are stories about Jesus using demigod powers to be a trickster which were found to be problematic.

You're missing the point. Making fun of Christianity is "brave", and "irreverent". Making fun of Islam is "racist" and "unamerican".
Making fun of Jews is illegal.

Those books were gnostic fanfiction that were never canon in the first place.

It's going to fucking suck.
The best case scenario is it tanks after season one. But knowing the dumbfucks who watch anything on AMC I doubt it.
>>78816097
He's used as an example of being the only righteous man in the Sodom. Under the circumstances, offering up his daughters was not the morally correct thing to do, nor is it presented as such, but he was under significant duress.
So no, Christianity does not approve of gangrape to way Islam approves of paedophilia and honour-killing, or the way the Talmud approves of kiddy-diddling.
>>78815433
>He actually thinks The Da Vinci Code is accurate
>>78820868
A righteous man does not crack under pressure like a little bitch and sell out his kin. The meek inherit nothing.
>>78820868
>Under the circumstances, offering up his daughters was not the morally correct thing to do, nor is it presented as such
For its intended audience, yes, it was. The fact that Lot would give up things (because that what daughters are) so important to him in order to preserve sacred hospitality would be evidence of what a moral man he was.
>>78820942
>ITT assmad sandniggers lashing out on Christians
Go back to your caves.
>>78820942
>>78820956
>to him in order to preserve sacred hospitality would be evidence of what a moral man he was.
Being a "righteous" man isn't the same as being a moral man. A "righteous" man is a guy that honors god. Thats the only qualification really.
>>78820942
Hospitality was everything in anciet Semitic culture, especially when your guests are literal angels. It was a no win situation. Righteous does not mean totally without flaws.

Garth will say whatever he needs to, to get that paycheck. Which isn't wrong, really. It's smart.
>>78814503
Here's the thing I'm worried about.
Isn't Seth Rogan like incredibly atheist? Like that fatass with the podcast that talks with Karl Pilkington atheist?
I know for a fact that they're going to make him an asshole but they're going to make him an asshole because he's a snarky drunk who keeps sermoning others on why violence is wrong.
They're not going to make him an asshole because he's a hypocritical little shit who keeps bringing up his father's moral codes while following those of the guy who murdered him and enforcing that twisted idea on everyone. >>78819036
Ennis is really fucking mercenary.
If it isn't for money it's so they'll let him do war stories.
Another show where they went
>We like the basic premise, but fuck the entire story.
Lucifer and Preacher, WB/DC needs to stop licensing their properties so carelessly.
Well, I mean I guess I still have hope for American Gods.
>>78821349
>I realized Ennis was just working through his self-esteem issues
Pleb or not, that's pretty accurate.
>>78821352
>>78821325
Yeah, I think Ellis has the same view about Red, too (he's fine with them altering it because it got him money to buy his daughter a horse).
>>78821239
Cassidy has one of my all time favorite character designs.
It's already a worst case scenario.
>>78814973
God according to Christianity isnt all that big on vengeance. That was added in later.
>>78815505
>Jesus acvidentally killed a friend
>As people started freaking iut he told him to get the fuck up

Jesus' youth has some good parables.

Checkmate athei-I mean Islam.
>>78821239
>no addressing the papacy and Catholic church at all
Why would it? Jesse was a preacher for some non descript Protestant church, not a Catholic priest.
>>78814973
Someone has got a handful of leftist talking points and has never read the New Testament. Stay edgy, kid.
>>78815051
>All Abrahamic religions are ridiculous.
I grew up secular and yeah they're all retarded. Lots of older religions like Hellenistic religions or many Eastern religions are more interesting and make a lot more sense. Abrahamic religions are almost uniquely moronic, at least among the big ones. I mean polytheism explains things about the world better than monotheism, mind you I don't think there's anything to either.
>>78822367
actually believing that shit as an adult is completely insane though.
The Boys is Garth's best work fight me if you disagree
All those people discussing how one religion is better than an other while forgetting that current religions were created 1 or 2 thousands years ago (if not older for some) by people whose world view was barbaric for us.
>>78814503
Are there were-creatures, child-snatching creatures, all manner of things that go bump in the night, or is it just boring-ass satan and demons?
>>78824054
>The Boys is Garth's best work fight me if you disagree
I disagree but it's not a bad choice. I just prefer Punisher MAX and Hitman. I think those two represent Ennis at the best of his ability, stuff like Preacher/the Boys, while good, are a tad too needlessly edgy for my tastes.
>>78815861
600 ad or so, yeah? it wasn't in Rome, it wasn't the Vatican
>>78826653
I like the boys because everything "edgy" actuallycame to play in the story from the stuff that The Seven make Annie do to the guy jizzing under Hugie's door. Even little pieces of dialouge like the Homelander saying he doesn't remember killing Butcher's wife were important in the grand scheme of things
