One of the notes I remember them writing about in a article was " We should try and get more men into the show". Yeah I got my wires crossed, it's Saga he didn't want to adapt because he felt that live action wouldn't do it justice.

It's weird because you would think he'd have some minor connections with regard to actually getting a pilot off the ground at least, but yeah no pilots for any of his stuff. There's a lot of comics properties now just being bought up because "Comics" , but poo poo all for them actually coming to production it seems. The best adaptation is still Izombie.

"that doesn't make sense" They're wondering why Genesis picked Jesse of everybody, and why he was able to survive where others weren't. That or they're just shocked at seeing Arseface!

Zaphod42 posted:"that doesn't make sense" I figured because the other people who it went to would use it for their own, selfish purposes. The African Preacher said "I can do anything!' then exploded, and then we could easily believe the Satanic Priest and Cruise would have the same reaction, while Jesse would not Rhyno posted:I could got for an NC-17 animated film. Spider tits would be an R at best. And I knew Y would die because there is no way anyone would greenlight a show without a majority male cast, even in this day and age.

Hollismason posted:I thought AMC got away with using 1 gently caress or whatever in Breaking Bad. In the original broadcast of IFT, the 'gently caress' was muted out. It was just really blatantly obvious what word Skyler was saying that got muted. So even if you didn't actually hear hear it, you thought you heard it. AMC still has to bleep out 'fucks' in their shows. They're still a basic cable channel, and basic cable channels still aren't allowed to say gently caress before midnight. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Jun 1, 2016 |

None of them are under the FCC's thumb. They just all have similar "standards of decency" that say that cursing and boobies are too much but drug kingpins killing people are just fine. Wouldn't want to scar the poor, impressionable children with vulgar things. Now watch Walt dissolve this guy's corpse in a bathtub with some lye.

Really enjoyed the pilot. As someone who's read Preacher a bunch of times, I'm happy with every change they've made so far. I don't think it's one of Ennis' high points and the less they feel obliged to stick to the source the better. Still enjoying the little hints - Ratwater whisky, Eugene talking about how he can't hear God anymore, which is a big one, and did anyone notice the blueprints Tulip has during the ending montage? "Grail Industries." Gonna be a fun ride I think.

I really like they're taking a Marvel Cinematic Universe approach to the source material, cherry picking the ideas and building stories that make sense in this other context. I prefer that so much more than a near beat for beat remake of poo poo I've already read, to be honest.

Just a reminder that when Preacher was in development hell, Ennis flat-out told a former producer that it wasn't necessary to completely stick to the comics.

Mark Millar is the same way. Which is probably one of the reasons why he has multiple films made of his work. Some things only work well in specific mediums.

I don't think Alan Moore cares all that much about the changes but has had problems with all the poo poo that comes around an adaptation. Like the time he was involved in the lawsuit saying that he only wrote League of Extraordinary Gentlemen because the studio wanted to rip off some other guy's script. Or producers who have false statements that this one was the one he was totally cool with like with V for Vendetta.

Just re-watched the first episode. What was up with the cowboy hat dude eating the teabag at the end? I'm guessing it was to show they aren't exactly human, but I'm wondering if there's some sort of symbolism to it (like a weird way of tea leaf divining or something)? E:V Thanks. I never closely followed the comics, wasn't sure if it was something that character did for a reason. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Jun 6, 2016 |

Could the dialog not be "hey Preacher..." "Preacher, I..." "Hey Preacher" so much. God drat. I just want the show to be Tulip and Jesse at this point so I don't have to hear every 3rd word be Preacher. Anyways, Cassidy vs the mystery dudes was awesome, and the meat monger guy was creepy. Though It kind of looked like they just took those peoples land for nothing.

I feel that it seems a little disjointed at times, but I'm willing to stick it out for a bit, see where it goes (esp. since I see Jackie Earle Hayley has a role). I'm kind of torn on the characters so far. Not a huge fan of Tulip, think Cassady is a riot, and Arseface just makes me feel bad. When somebody shouted 'murderer!' in the baptism scene, were they shouting at him or his dad? I'm guessing maybe there was some suicide pact action but Arseface botched his attempt.

It's a little bothersome, like as soon as you notice someone with a vocal tic, then can't not notice it. Agreed on the Cassidy/cowboy hats fight. I liked the shot of the severed arm and the chainsaw slowly chattering down the aisle toward Jessie. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Jun 6, 2016 |

That's how you address a Preacher. You don't say " Hey Jesse". Although really they should refer to him as Pastor ,but it's a southern thing to refer to a Pastor as Preacher as in " Howdy Preacher". I thought this was a excellent follow up episode. Although, not sure about the direction they seem to be going with Tulip, but I love the characterizations so far of Mr. Quinton ( Jackie Earl is a inspired bit of casting). Cassidy and Jesse have that great friends who argue chemistry between them. Jesse's a mean as hell drunk which is great. Loved it. I liked the first episode but this one was waaay better. Really great. Also, pretty sure that Tulip and Jesse have a kid some where. Also, I am huge Preacher fan and that was the poo poo when I was a teenager and going to the comic store. I've read pretty much everything Ennis has done and don't have one problem with this adaptation. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Jun 6, 2016 |

While true, it's always said by an actor with an emphasis. Like they're told "You gotta remind me people about the name of the show". I like Cassidy calling him Padre because it feels natural, and Tulip says it in a mocking way. They were really vague on what that dude was doing with the girl. What he molesting her or just jerking it thinking about her? From the earlier part of the episode, I thought maybe there was a Hooker he kept visiting or something, so he was sinning but it was just cheating on his wife, but then nope, he's a kid diddler.

The impression I got was that he was just using confession to feel better about himself so that he would be "forgiven" then he could go on thinking and obsessing about her. Jesse went after him because he knew that the guy eventually was going to do something because he knew he could be forgiven for it. Sort like " Well I guess I'll just kill this guy and then confess so that I'm forgiven by God and no longer a bad person".
