If you guys think AMC's 'Talking...' shows are bad you should see Talking Thrones which is way worse.

Did you know Ennis, McCrea and Peter Tomasi pitched an animated Hitman show to Mtv back in 2003? Tomasi spent two weeks creating stand in characters and locations for every DCU hero and location they wouldn't be allowed to see. He used to show the pitch notebook off at conventions and they had a huge amount of material put together for the pitch.

You'd be creating superheroes for no other reason than to take the piss out of them, which is getting into Monopoly Guy territory.

Eau de MacGowan posted:It's been a while since I read the comics but wasn't Tulip the level headed one? Yeah, she was (I guess I'll spoiler since it's comics but clearly different character) a girl that Jesse met when he ran away from his hosed up family, fell in love with and then seemingly abandoned when his family found him and forced him to come back home and become a preacher. When they meet up by chance in the beginning of the series she hates him for leaving her but doesn't know the real reason. She's no-nonsense, knows how to use guns but despises them because of a traumatic event from her childhood. Her relationship with Jesse is pretty much the central theme of the book - he wants to protect her like an old fashioned cowboy, but she doesn't "need" his protection. They definitely didn't come from the same town, and he hadn't become a preacher when they first met - they stole cars together, which was the "big criminals" they had been Seems they're taking the "she can take care of herself" part to the extreme with this version.

I mean, they already used a gently caress in the pilot and just clunkily muted it, so. We'll probably get the lighter, but it'll probably be CGI'd to say "SCREW COMMUNISM" or "F**K COMMUNISM" on TV and only be in its full glory on the blu-ray. e: related note, you can actually buy the lighter for yourself. It's like $25 including shipping on Amazon. WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 11:12 on May 30, 2016 |

There was a scene in Breaking Bad where someone left a note to another person saying "gently caress YOU" but they blurred out the middle two letters. There's nothing really stopping them from actually saying gently caress, it just really depends on advertisers being okay with it.

It sure looks like they've changed Jesse's dad's origin, now being a preacher and all. This being 20 years after the comics being published, I can see them dropping the whole Vietnam War, Medal of Honor-recipient dad angle completely...RIP Gonny. Speaking of which, it being 20 years on, I wonder what Arseface's raison d'etre is? It can't be Cobain, can it?

Yeah, fair to say the present day setting does kind of reduce the cultural importance/potency of figures like Cobain or the Duke, somewhat. And how would Custer Snr even get the lighter in the first place now, he'd probably have still been in school when Wayne died. If they bother keeping it, it's going to need an all new story behind it.

It really depends on whether or not Jesse is supposed to be Dominic Cooper's age. Because he was born in 78 and that's old enough that his dad could have been in Vietnam.

Even in the comic Jesse is an "old fashioned" guy. 20 years ago John Wayne movies weren't exactly modern - wouldn't be that big of a stretch to keep him a fan of old Westerns. And I can see them making the lighter Jesse's grandfather's rather than his fathers, handed down from father to son. The part that I'm really "interested" in seeing is how Jesse's dad ends up being a preacher without ruining the character

Enjoyed the pilot. Glad to see Rudy getting more work. Kickass VFX on the scene where he jumps out of the plane. The angle, perspective, really sold the freefall.

Yeah in the comics Jesse was 17-18 when he met Tulip and she was 21 (scene where she buys him a beer because she's of legal drinking age), and I think the main series picks up just a couple years after then, so he's early 20s in the comic. Think the show is going for more of a mature Jesse who has spent a few years preachin, and his "dark past" with Tulip will be when they were younger, probably skipping town together or something along those lines.

I just reread the comics (parts hold up, others don't) and they explicitly say they've been together about 10 years by the time the comic's over, so they're early mid thirties by that time.

I've been re-reading them too and just read that it was 5 years since Jesse left Tulip, so he's 23-24 when the series begins with Tulip being 26-27.
