Not bad, a lot different than the comics but I actually enjoyed some of the changes, Cassidy is basically ripped from the pages.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
Knew nothing about the comic and loved the 1st episode. Main dude killed it, really liked Tulip too.
Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
yeah cassidy is great so far. definitely different than the comics, but i'm trying to separate the two in my head for the time being. loved the idea of genesis hopping from preacher to preacher looking for a home and making unworthy folks explode lol.Tweak Da Leak wrote:Not bad, a lot different than the comics but I actually enjoyed some of the changes, Cassidy is basically ripped from the pages.
did that plane scene ever happen in the book? like it felt familiar, but at the same time i don't remember it.
Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
I read the comic a couple years ago and I can't remember a fucking thing from this episode.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
Enjoyed this, definitely a promising start. I barely remember the comic beyond the broad strokes, so I can't even tell what's new in this.
Hoping they didn't mess with the basic concept of Genesis though, it seemed more like an alien than a religious thing. He did say Word Of God in a way that might as well have had 'FORESHADOWING' in big letters above him though, so hopefully it's still on track.

I didn't even know Preacher was a thing before the AMC hype started up, I'm really looking forward to 2 weeks from now.
The violence is over the top in the best possible way

Love this show, don't understand the story or characters all that well yet, but boy is it fun to watch. Chainsaw scene was the shit.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
2nd episode confirmed it, i'm all in. I like that they're not dumping an exposition overload about what's going on, just kinda letting the viewer figure it out along with the characters. IIRC the comic laid it all out upfront because it jumps into the story as it's already ongoing, but doing it slowly builds nice tension.
ppl who don't know the comics at all, wait till you see what that cowboy is about, cause HOLY SHIT did they nail it

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
yeuh, i think theyre taking a bunch of the one of stories that happen during the later events of the story and implementing them in new timing
i want to read the whole series over again, a lot to digest and think about.

AMC is 2 for 2 with the graphic novel shows so far. Love the show.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
As much as I'm enjoying this now, if the pace of the overall story doesn't pick up more I can see myself getting bored with this soonish.
Individually, scenes like this week's cold open are fucking amazing. But you get 1-2 of these per episode, while the story crawls along for Jesse to catchup with Superhero 101 concepts like great power/unintended consequences.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
I'm sure we'll find out but, what the hell do the flashbacks of the cowboy have to do with anything?

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
this series is all about the long play.
its going to amount to essentially looking over your soldier and panicking as the cowboy gets closer.

don't google it, will probably end up being cooler that way.
Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
nah I don't want to know, I just can't theorize what dude's story is.

Show gets better every week.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
gotta give them credit, this last episode made a lot of the slow burn worthwhile. Suddenly Tulip and Cassidy have actual character archs and purpose and there's some context and depth for Tulip and Jesse. Jesse's heel turn was dope too. Good shit, hopefully they'll finally do something to reveal the big picture in the next one (7 eps without establishing the central premise of the series is... a long time)

I haven't read the comics but they stated season 2 will start where issue #1 starts. Spoiler if needed, sorry.

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
dammmmn this last one was really crazy
wondering if S2 and the roadtrip will be about getting Assface out of Hell... although the setup for the original premise of the comic is pretty linear based on how things ended at the church

Re: Preacher may get AMC treatment?
it was a really neat way to handle this because I doubt they have the budget to actually show hell like we'd want, with demons and lakes of fire and all thatRamen wrote:So hell is a Western? Sounds pretty cool actually.
after this clever bit I'm really curious how they're gonna handle next week
