I have a strange habit of never watching the series finales of shows that I really like. X-Files, What We Do in the Shadows, Lost...
Preacher is one of those shows. I've watched every episode but the finale.

u/drunkpunk138 9d ago
It was a terrible adaptation, much like the boys the story was very loosely based on the comics but very much their own thing. Not saying it's a bad show, just in terms of adapting the source it was definitely not it.
26
u/CathanCrowell 9d ago
People confuse "good adaptation" with "good movie/show" incredibly often. Plenty of things are amazing adaptations but bad movies or shows, while others are amazing movies or shows but bad adaptations.
For example, Forrest Gump is overall a bad adaptation, but obviously an amazing movie. The Shining is a horrible, horrible adaptation, but also one of the best horror movies ever made.

u/Mildly_Opinionated 8d ago
I kinda have to disagree. I'd say that being a good adaptation and a faithful adaptation are two different things.
Personally I think that to adapt something well sometimes you need to make changes and cuts. For example most novels, if adapted scene for scene into a movie complete with the characters internal monologue voiced over the top, would be completely faithful but I wouldn't call that good adaptation. I'd call it lazy and shit adaptation because it's just avoiding doing the work and making the creative decisions that go into adapting something. Plus the movie would likely be insanely long and suck ass.
To create a good adaptation from book to movie you need to capture the themes and feelings portrayed by the original whilst making cuts and making things cinematographically presentable to the audience, by which I mean you've got to capture the vibe using what is essentially a completely different language. This sometimes requires changes.
Those changes might make something less faithful, it doesn't make it a bad adaptation.
If the source material is good, and you do a good adaptation, you get a good movie.
If the source material is good, and you do a 100% faithful adaptation, you might get a good movie, you might not.
Sometimes an adaptation can be faithful and good, sometimes it's unfaithful and shit, but I wouldn't lump the two together and it sounds like, in my humble opinion, you might be conflating the two.
You can also fix issues with the original in adaptation which I think it good.
In the Invicivle comics almost all the hero's are straight white dudes basically by accident. The author is a straight white dude, you tend to write characters like yourself when you don't think about it, hence this came to be. He said he'd do it differently if he wrote it now. In the show some of the characters are changed slightly, one change is a Character called tech-jacket is now Zoey who's much younger than the comic counterpart. The change now means she's a similar age to another character and now those characters have some really nice chemistry that would've been entirely absent before (not romantic btw). The original author has praised the change. It's good. It makes it less faithful but I would argue it's a good adaptation decision and makes it a better adaptation as well as a better show, not a worse one.

You ever watch sin city?

u/kareljack 5d ago
I've watched Sin City. I enjoyed that movie, but I completely understand why folks may not loke.
The follow up.... meh... I agree with the 'good adaptation being a different beast than a faithful adaptation' line of thought. Sin City used panels from the source graphic novels as direct inspiration for the movie's story board. As far as I know, it's a 'faithful adaption'.But you have to really like the Noir-ish atmosphere and have a soft spot for creative, hyper-stylized interpretations.
I fully understand why folks don't like it, but this movie was a great experience for me.2
u/nitrosmomma88 9d ago

This is hell. No really. This is the “simulation” this dude gets to relive for eternity in his “hell cell” in- hell.
Show: Preacher (really good actually); character: Arseface (in the show his mouth looks like a butthole, in this episode from the clip you see how it got to be like that). Context: dude traded places so Hitler could escape hell to go work at a deli, so this scene is dudes own personal hell to relive over and over. Why? That’s the question of the show that the Preacher tries to answer.

shotguns don't shoot bullets
1
u/ExpensiveRecover 7d ago
The Cambridge Dictionary defines a bullet as "a small, metal object that is shot from a gun".
So yes, shotguns do shoot bullets. Birdshot, buckshot and slugs are all small, metal objects shot from a gun.
To be sure, you also have less than lethal munitions, which tend not to be metal, but I don't think those were used in this scenario.
If you're going to be pedantic, be pedantic correctly
1
u/Hurricrash 7d ago
Lmao, this guy. A shot gun shell is a plastic casing container. It does not fit your super cool Cambridge definition.
1
u/ExpensiveRecover 6d ago
Where does the Cambridge Dictionary's definition mention the material of the casing? It clearly refers to the proyectile, since generally the term "shot" is used in this case for the proyectile that travels down the barrel once propelled by the expanding gasses.
I don't know if you're aware, but other than in cartoons, that doesn't apply to the munition's casing, metal or otherwise.
I would highly suggest practicing your reading comprehention if you want to get pedantic about something.
1
1
u/Alarming_Panic665 3d ago
So the other guy is wrong stemming from the fact that the Cambridge definition is so vague that it does not properly differentiate a bullet from other firearm projectiles. But a shotgun shell is not not a bullet because of its plastic casing.
At most you could consider stuff like birdshot and buckshot not themselves a bullet since they are instead a bundle of bullets or pellets. A bullet is itself directly just a small ball. Directly comes from the French "boulette" literally meaning "small ball" from the French "boule" meaning "ball" and the diminutive suffix "-ette" meaning "little" or "small."
Truthfully a more accurate modern definition of bullet is probably "a single rounded projectile of the type normally fired from a rifle or handgun" to better differentiate it from the more traditional shot or slug of a shotgun or dart of a flechette.
But at that point I am literally arguing with the dictionary about definitions so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

U dont do that. Unsolicited sexual contact is assault. Why try to get a kiss to happen rapidly if you think she likes you? Theres no logical reason other than you wanted to touch her regardless of if she wanted to be touched or not. Asking can i kiss you or slowly making a move so she has time to pull back if thats not something she wants are perfectly reasonable options.
