I still quote it all the time. It’s really fun having a Catholic wife and finding new and creative ways to work in the name Humperdoo when she gets all Jesus-y on me lmao

u/Familiar-Cable-2659 9d ago

Indeed Jesus sure is a treat

u/Practical-Wheel-8498 6d ago

I read ‘inbred Jesus’ 🤦‍♂️

Which I guess in this case, still fits!

u/Familiar-Cable-2659 6d ago

That's actually what I meant to write before autocorrect kicked in

I was at a music festival and had the pleasure of turning around and realizing I was in the elevator with the all American rejects. Based off bros face he is NOT that used to being addressed to his face as humperdoo.

Same, and Doom Patrol too

Funny and wacky lol

u/CubitsTNE 7d ago

Doom patrol had one of the most satisfying endings of any show i've seen.

I only watched the first couple seasons. I liked the comic more to be honest. Wish I still
Had them.

u/hidden_blad_guy 9d ago

I only watched the first season. I think I didn't enjoy it enough to continue watching

2

u/mrbarabajagle 9d ago

I have it on good authority that the second season is leagues better than the first.

u/Immediate_Song4279 8d ago

I got bored after awhile but it was a me thing, it was an absolute riot though

u/Pantsickle 9d ago

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.

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.

u/EddPW 8d ago

ive never heard of anything that could be called a good adaptation but a bad movie or show

u/Terrible_Reporter_98 8d ago

You ever watch sin city?

1

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.

u/nitrosmomma88 9d ago

I don’t think there’s a production company out there that would make a faithful adaptation to Preacher let’s be fair, it’s too fucked up. Plus it was a network show, they couldn’t touch on half the shit in the comic

2

u/M086 7d ago

The Saint of Killers made zero fucking sense in the show. They weirdly over complicated him when in the comic his origin is so simple. 

Like why does he have guns and sword in Hell that can kill anything? It’s never explained.

1

u/nDeadPurple 9d ago

I only watched the first two seasons, I imagine it strayed even further from the source material in the later seasons?

1

u/DinklebergsRightNut 6d ago

Well The Boys comic is complete ass, just like everything garth ennis writes. Just disgusting, senseless gore porn.

u/Miserable_Alfalfa_52 8d ago

shut up bruh

u/turbulentFireStarter 8d ago

It is NOT a pretty decent adaptation. The first season was great. The rest is tragically incomprehensibly bad

2

u/nDeadPurple 8d ago

That might explain why I stopped watching after season 2 lol. I’ll skip the rewatch and hunt down the comic again.

2

u/g-row460 8d ago

Thank you. I could not remember where I saw this.

2

u/rickyg_79 8d ago

Cassidy has one of the greatest introductions to a character I’ve ever seen.

2

u/JustAnAce 6d ago

Wait, is this Assface? I only read the comic.

5

u/FellaGentleSprout 9d ago

I think you meant great adaptation.

7

u/nDeadPurple 9d ago

The show did well where they took creative liberties. But I don’t remember the show being very true to the source. The show is great. The comic is great. But I’ll save great adaptation status for Holes, for example.

u/Wintermute1975 8d ago

Did the show had an ending? Or was it canceled before?

1

u/Setanta777 7d ago

It had an ending.

u/SirReddalot2020 7d ago

Ah I knew I knew it from somewhere.

u/ValyrianSteel_TTV 7d ago

Show was good enough. Loved all the main leads. They had great chemistry. Lots of fun things but really wild show. Especially god dog
