It's here.
First season slumped near the end. Is /tv/ gonna watch this season?
>>84331051
>Is /tv/ gonna watch this season
nope. first season was absolute garbage and i have no interest in watching where it goes
Selfbump
>>84331051
First episode was great, completely turned the show around. Hope this isn't one of those cases where they just dumped all the budget into the premiere to hook people in and then meander about doing nothing for the remainder of the season.
Didn't watch the first because it looked like literally not muh Preacher. But last nght I saw a clip from season 2 with the Saint and it was actually pretty good. So I might have to watch it sometime
>>84331051
I'm not into gay porn.
>>84331152
>AMC
Yeah that's probably it
>>84331051
The last episode of the first season was pretty good, but that might have been because the three episodes (at least) before that were shit. I'll give the first episode a go and see what happens, but I'll drop it pretty quickly if it goes wrong.
>>84331384
The first episode already premiered yesterday, tonight is episode 2.
No. Despite the pleasant surprise of the inclusion of the Saint of Killers and the Grail nod, they've completely ruined Tulip, and not because they made her black.
>>84331429
Yeah, I'm in no rush. I just stop reading things when I think I'm hitting spoilers.
>>84331546
TV Tulip > Comic Tulip
>>84331181
First season takes place before the comics.
>>84331750
Except it completely ruins various plot points from later in the comics.
>>84331051
Oh thank god I was about to make a thread bitching about it but here it goes
So a fat pothead hollywood jew took a comic about self discovery and pretty much the American Dream and has bastardized beyond recovery in 1 Season Plus 1 Episode.
It is no longer a journey about self discovery but as Seth put it in an interview with Colbert, "It's a comedy with a lot of gore I love gore".
The characters/antagonists present in the comic were reflections of the main characters hang ups on life. With his goal being to find God aka reason for existence. In order to do this he overcomes many strife's and representations of the bad things throughout his life each time becoming a better person as the comic progresses.
In the end Jesse forgives himself by forgiving and accepting Cassidy who represents the way he views himself a parasite that must prove he is alive, dies and is reborn as he has learned that the reason for existence doesn't matter just enjoying it with the ones you love does. Through his struggles he set out and achieved his dream thus God is dead killed by his hero.
The Saint of Killers was his childhood icon and the saint tracking him down means that he felt he had failed and became a garbage individual.
NONE OF THIS HOLDS TRUE for this fucking series. Jessie is just a fucking asshat arguably worse than cassidy. Tulip is a whore and bitch. Everyone is cool with Cassidy with seemingly no distrust.
FAT POT HEAD JEW PLEASE GO
>>84331750
how? this doesn't make sense
>>84331152
>First episode was great
How was it great?
>Dude weed
>Ah look that chick sucked on intestines
>Then like this guy goes bang bang bang bangbangbang
>And then there is just like this girl in the cage but like she's in there because she wants to be
>Then God goes to a strip club!
>Doesn't perform any miracles just goes to a strip club
If there is any proof that stoners are actually what is destroying the country look no further
>>84331857
>The Saint of Killers was his childhood icon and the saint tracking him down means that he felt he had failed and became a garbage individual.
John Wayne was his idol. Saint of Killers is just one mean motherfucker that's after him.
But yeah, when John Wayne abandons him it's a pretty hefty moment, even if they narrow it down to one word.
>>84332031
Yeah but John Wayne and Saint of Killers was basically the Angel and Devil on the shoulder trope
Saint of Killers was basically John Wayne hunting him
>>84332003
I'm not a comicfag, I couldn't care less if it's like your funnybooks. It's just an entertaining supernatural action comedy.
>>84331857
Also
>Everyone is cool with Cassidy with seemingly no distrust.
Just like in the comic. Despite his fuckups (taking them into a serial killer's den, for instance) Tulip had no reason to distrust him until the guy in New Orleans told her about Cassidy's true nature. And Jesse, until after the returned missing on eye. 'til then, Jesse legit believed Cassidy to be a stand-up guy and had no reason to second-guess him.
>>84332091
It's not even a good comedy unless you are a fucking stoner.
>Girl sucking oil through an intestine
XDXD
>MACE ON BALLS JIM MACE ON BALLS!!!
OMG it's fucking BONKERS!
>Look GORE! OMG WE can not do that
This is basically the lowest brow of comedy around. Nothing but Stoner Garbage Seth
>>84332105
Actually that is correct completely forgot about that.
>>84332003
So, edgy shit happens just like in the dumb comic.
The comic does have a ton of lolEdgy moments, but when it hits, it goes for the knockout.
If the series can balance both things and be half as good, then it'll be worth the watch.
>>84331051
boy the AMC shills are in overdrive today
shit show
[/thread]
>>84332003
lol what a fucking loser
>>84331152
I do hope they dumped the season's budget so this abortion does not get a third season
even Lynch's deviantart clusterfuck is better than this turd
>>84331152
This
I really enjoyed it, but the pace seemed to fast for the entire season to be sustainable at this level
Here's hoping
DUDE FUCK GOD LOL
>>84332082
That's like...the stupidest analysis I've ever heard.
>Hurrr Durrr they're both cowboys so its a dichotomy
That's you. That's how retarded you sound. You drooling fucking retard.
AND DEN THE SUPER BADASS COWBOY KILLS GOD
>>84332499
No it's the mannerisms and the representation of how life really is
Jon Wayne is the idealistic hopeful ideal
Saint of Killers is the gritty realism of reality that Jon Wayne would actually be.
unless you think the reason the Saint is a cowboy is just because COWBOYS ARE COOL BRAH
>>84332420
Seth go to bed
>>84331696
WE
>>84331051
The commercials make it look like a lot of fun but the first season was so boring I couldn't even finish it.
>>84332860
>Too boring to finish
It was just terrible in general
>>84331051
First season was a fucking mess though it has potential. I'll check in once I'm sure I won't be wasting my time again.
>>84331546
yep pretty much dropped because of her
>>84332559
wtf? Context?
>>84334170
It's literally at the end of the comic.Jesse and the Saint of Killers bait God using Genesis long enough for Saint to move into heaven. God is omnipotent when sitting on his throne. So when God returns, the Saint is there waiting for him. And his guns never miss, and always kill
>>84334356
>His guns never miss
Did you even watch the episode?
>>84334399
Not yet, but they kinda had to nerf the Saint anyway
>>84331051
this show is the perfect version of Garth Ennis' vision. it's flawed of course but it is so much better than the comic book.
>>84331113
This, what a terrible ending, really robs any of the magic and wonder that should be. There is also the fact that it suffers from a lot of bloat, things that don't matter stretching out the story for no reason.
>>84335459
seth please...
>>84331051
I want Jesse to abuse Genesis more fuck tulip for keeping a leash on him, jesse should be the one to know it's a last resort kind of thing like in the comics
is this the live thread?
>>84336386
it is now, nigga
Okay, that's just silly.
fucking AMC, I thought this was on at 10, I miss anything beside them failing to kill SoK?
>>84336587
the bullet heading directly right at jessse veered away and killed a truck driver who then crashed into SoK
>>84335944
how did you-- ugh fuck
what was that one armed guy's problem?
>>84336678
He wanted root beer
This is kino
Oh hey, it's one of the angels!
...And now I remember the other one's dead. Aw.
>gets arm blown off,clearly gonna die
>fuck it,one more of my favorite carbonated soft drinks before I go
>last quarter
>go to machine,press ROOT BEER
>FUCKING GINGER ALE
>last. fucking. quarter
>this isn't fair
>die
>>84336678
he was about to die and didn't get the fucking drink he order
This is too high iq for comic readers
>>84331877
Not him but the first season was basically all setup for the road trip. Combined with some of the stuff from the Salvation arc I guess.
>all those free copies of clothes that he creates when he respawns
if it's a clean kill he sells them right?
Holy shit the actor that plays Saint of Killers looks like bald Jeff Bridges
these guys should have a tv show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLb3o65q0vk
did the angels do this in the comics? as far as i read to, they were always like pussies worrying about where god was.
>>84336921
I think he was the bald second in command Dwarf in the Hobbit movies
>>84336839
No.
>>84336980
in the comics after SoK is unleashed by a different angel they fuck off until the last arc where we learn they have been high off their asses since then and drowning in prostitutes
so sort of
>>84336980
Yeah. Only without the respawn. But they decided to just get fucked and wait for the End of Days.
AMC just glitch for anyone else?
kek, he is forced to be nice to cancer kids
I guess they had to bullshit a reason for Jesse not to use Genesis like he avoids it in the comic.
the camera work with this mirror is pretty nice
>cancer kid just wants to not die
>"hah, i'm not telling you my secret kid"
>>84337163
yeah it was an interesting use of the 180 rule. the directing has been pretty good but i feel theres something off about them nailing dark comedic moments.
Tulip sucks so bad as a character
>>84331051
how much sjw shit has this show?
just tell me the truth and i will go back to /pol/
HAHAHAHAHAHA
BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING IN REAL LIFE, GEDDIT?
>Cassidy does speedballs with an angel
I see no error in this plan.
oh he's shooting him up, I thought he was gonna torture him
>you will never get paid to get high/simulate getting high and fucking around with Gilgun
Cassidy is too fun
Were they both reading Christian comics?
i had to turn subtitles on because of gilgun's accent
What should buy from taco bell if I just want to shit myself to death?
>>84331051
I laugh my shit out with that fake-God in the church scene in the season finale, so yeah... I will watch this new season
>>84337785
Are you watching right now?
so now a womanlet is going to kill a man 4 times her size?
Not Bob Sapp is ok, right?
He's just sleeping.

tulip's superpower is she's a hitman so you just have to let it go
>>84337913
She sure HIT that "MAN" huh?
>90 pound waif murders the fuck out of a big nigga
of all the things in this show that's unrealistic it's having a friend like Cassidy and someone in love with you like Tulip. it just doesn't happen in life. unless you're Johnny Depp or some shit. and i bet he doesn't have a Cassidy.
> Most TV shows are either boring or filled with cliches
> This is genuinely original and exciting
> People are shitting on it because it's not a shot-for-shot remake of the comics
This is why we can't have nice things
>>84338000
>having a friend like Cassidy
reminder Cassidy is in fact a shitty person and a shitty friend, Jessie just doesn't know half the shit he's pulled yet
>>84338044
>shitting on it
literally no one is shitting on it for that
>>84338000
>t just doesn't happen in life. unless you're Johnny Depp or some shit. and i bet he doesn't have a Cassidy.
Of course he doesn't. He IS the Cassidy.
I keep on expecting Fiore to blow up from a long range SoK attack
>>84338050
he's better than most of my friends irl
They put a bill hicks poster in there! They at least kind of care about the source material.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
That sucked.
the audience reaction is probably the most realistic thing to happen on this show so far
>Talking Preacher
Hardwick, do you regret that monkey's paw?
>>84338325
>does Hardwick, a literal who, regret getting paid to nerd out with famous people and fuck an heir to the Randolf Hurst fortune/media empire
>>84338325
> constant paid gigs
> literally a model wife
> dropping stand-up specials whenever he feels like it
Dude is in his '30s but has his life set
Another fun episode. I don't care what /tv/ says, this show is good.
kevin pereira is the sellout we deserve, but instead we got chris
>>84338044
I adore this show, and I'm thankful for all the shitposting and shitting on it because it isn't the comics.
Because as much as I like the show, from everything everyone is saying about the comics, I feel more and more like I would love the comic way more. Like the dude earlier in the thread who showed disdain for Rogen being like "its basically just a comedy with lots of gore huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh" and anon calling him out for being 100% wrong, I'm happy to hear that. I still really like this show, but still. Comic sounds fantastic.
>>84331877
Did Cassidy fuck that angel?
>>84332003
>God goes to a strip club!
gotta admit it's a novel plot vehicle...
>>84337840
nigga an undead cowboy from hell is chasing them because an angel paid them to and you're mad that the combat is unrealistic
>>84332003
isn't is past your bedtime grandpa?
>shitting on the Saint of Killers
fuck off, why are you even watching this show?
>>84338380
Pretty sure it's 40s
>>84338617
pic
>>84338617
Cassidy would not rule out homosex to get what he wants, so who knows.
>>84331857
thats way too generous a reading of preacher.
its mostly a product of the '90s that constantly screams "bet you didnt think we could do that in a comic!". today we'd call them edgelords.
proof:
>constant poking at cristianity
>eugene shooting himself bec of cobain
>eugene's dad literally fucking himself and then killing himself
>>84338617
hell yea b
>>84338617
confirmation, they fucked
What happened to that The Boys series that Rogen and Goldberg were supposed to be making next?
Edgy shit the tv show.
>>84339178
I don't know; It's not like Rogen and Goldberg haven't been busy writing and directing other episodes for television
>>84339178
it might be good
>>84338617
>>84338713
I loved Fiore being completely dumbfounded at the idea that him and DeBlanc were gay though
>>84331051
Yep.
I thought it was terrible. https://youtu.be/9bwLtZz7TuM
Saulbros get in here, mommyfu just got confirmed as a regular in this as "Featherstone."
>>84339559
She looks nice.
>>84331857
You haven't actually read the comic have you.
>it's a "2 minute interview of Joe Gilgun talking about the pain from Nairing his balls" episode
>>84339260
At the very least being on Cinemax instead of AMC means they can go full EDGE with it.
the show is shit desu you cant capture the magic of the high velocity world of preacher in current times
>>84339842
They can do it if they can keep it to two seasons.
>>84339954
Meant 4 seasons. A little drunk.
season 1 was good. holy shit i can't believe how bad season 2 is and i'm not through the first ep. what the fuck happened here?
That fucking filter on the car chase scene is so stupid. They did what they needed to do with the color correction and the tacked that nonsense on. Pisses me off.
>>84340083
Is today opposite day?
>>84340278
no... explain why this retarded road trip of literally finding god is a good story arc
>>84340331
Why would you watch a Preacher tv show if you hate the very premise of Preacher?
>>84340413
i don't hate anything. i am genuinely wondering what you're talking about. season 1 was better than this.
>>84340496
The road trip to find God is the entire plot of the comics. Season 1 was just a prequel to that. If you really don't like that story arc it's best to stop watching now because this is the rest of the series.
>>84340549
yeah fair enough i didn't read anything like this in the comics. i guess i just don't like this in general then.
>>84331051
Absolutely not. I watched the pilot and it was without a doubt the most reddit thing I've ever witnessed. Okay maybe that's an exaggeration but it's definitely between Ash vs Evil Dead and Rick and Morty when it comes overall reddit rankings. However just the fact that it's anywhere near that spectrum turns the show from "must watch" to "must NOT watch". Just awful.
>>84331051
Didn't finish the first one... boring shit with terrible humor.
>>84340873
For what it's worth, they listened to the "boring" complaint and it's quite fast paced with a lot of action this season. Humor hasn't really changed though.
>>84339178
We'll never get a fair adaptation of this scene.
I like it so far. The Saint is cool. The locations (Texas) is pretty neat.
Nothing makes you fuckers happy
>>84336775
At least the Saint was nice enough to give him quarters when he needed 'em.
>>84341258
>>Nothing makes you fuckers happy
4chan in a nutshell.
>>84341258
Most of the hate is from season 1 being a kinda slow prequel, so it's gonna be hard to shake that reputation and win /tv/ back over. I was around for the livethreads through season 1 and /tv/ did seem to give it a fair a shake with Cassidy being a board favorite, but wiping the slate clean with a cow poo gas explosion really made it all sorta pointless and you were robbed of even the sunk cost of being invested into all those people. At the very least we should've had the sheriff survive and looking for Eugene or something. The high octane season premier was a great start, but things shouldn't wind down too much or people will get impatient. Obviously you can't have every episode being a warzone, but more stuff like the brilliant strip club owner scene (with Cassidy scuffling with the security guard on the monitors behind them) would keep people hooked without having to have every scene be the absolute craziest thing you'll see on TV all week.
>>84340003
Five seasons of this shit and I'll be good desu
>>84340189
>being this mad
>>84341258
Not to mention the pacing is fucking incredible
This is just what I needed after that shitshow Fargo just had
>>84331051
So casual viewers would think the show takes place in the town that blew up so all those characters and background plot mean nothing now.
Shit, man.
The first two episodes were fucking great. Hope they can keep up with this type of pace.
These 2 were the only thing that made season 1 watchable and they are dead now.
Every other character on the show is unnecessarily obnoxious and hard to watch. Cassidy might be the exception but not enough for me to keep watching.
>>84332091
If you could read, you might have learned that this is a huge missed opportunity
>>84331051
the first episode of this second season was shit within the first five minutes
>>84331051
the comic was bad (like written by some highschooler with infantile sense of bravado, oh yea a preacher who punches bad guys and his vampire buddy) I don't have any expectation to begin with, the show actually made sense and delved into the motivation, too bad the comedy was really out of place and the main actress (or anything related to her) is bad.
Show really is just fucking awful. Dropping it now.
>>84346390
lmao, what a fucking pleb, the first episode of the second season was shite in the first 5 seconds
>>84346438
But that strong no nonsense black female lead.
It is so original and edgy.
i am really liking how this show throws clues around for people to make theories about and then does nothing with it other than using it as a "fuck you" to the audience.
>>84346601
Don't forget cuntface is going to buddy up with Hitler to escape hell and seek revenge on the preacher.
Don't cut yourself on all of this edge.
>>84347186
Noah Taylor is playing Hitler again? Cool. Max was a decent movie.
>>84331051
No, I stopped watching mid season 1. First episode was promising but they fucked it up and got all preachy and pseudo-deep with it. Why did this shit get renewed?

No way I'm watching this shit for one more episode, let alone season.
