You just reminded me that because The Boys is his most popular adaptation, most people will never know that Garth Ennis has written VASTLY better comics. And now I'm sad.
Crossed
Its annoying, lately all I see when people talk about Ennis is how edgy and mean spirited he is and sure that's an element of his writing (especially in The Boys and Crossed (and I'd argue is kind of what you sign up for when you read past the first issue of those series)) but it doesn't embody Garth's collective body of work, the man is an incredible writer and one of the greats for a reason. It's like basing your entire opinion of Frank Miller's work on Holy Terror, an absolute disservice to the people as artists.
I also see the way he uses that kind of material as schlocky and pulpy, it's in good fun, not the kind of edginess you get out of something like The Funnies.
@Ryan La croix Horsecock is my favorite character in any comic.
the Boys TV show is a vastly better Boys story then the comic is tbh
Not as sad as Ennis is since no one reads the military comics he's super proud of but its his superhero stuff that blew up
Herr Starr was so funny. Kinda outshines almost every other character.
Yeah, but his shrugging off indignities doesn't hold a star to the graphic novel version.
Honestly comic herr star I’m glad is dead. While tv herr star I’m glad had a happy ending
yes. but Ruth Negga is wonderful. Irish vampire and redneck preacher aren't bad either. :P
Most of the casting on this show was fantastic but Herr Starr was perfection.
Pip Torrens really saved the series for me. I was 2 episodes into season 3 and realized that I had come to hate the 3 main characters as childish, impulsive, arrogant, and inconsistent. Waiting for the Starr, Eugene, and David Hilter scenes kept me going.
One of the biggest flaws of this series imo is that Cassidy never fully repairs his relationship with Jesse. The friendship between the three protagonists was a huge strength and I love that Season 2 starts out just as 3 pals on a road trip. It's so sad that it's basically stated that Cassidy never saw Jesse and Tulip afterwards and only showed up when they both died.
@jabron destoroyah L take, masterpiece is being extraordinarily generous
@jabron destoroyah what the hell is wrong with you
@Ben Cooper oh I agree, this guy just keeps calling me slurs and viciously insulting me only to delete his comments like 5 seconds later.
@bencooper7328 he never said or implied the book was bad. Where did this comment even come from? Definitely wasn't your brain
Yeah it was a bit at odds that he tosses his umbrella to burn in the sun and be dead with them.
I don't know why this is the only video on RUclips talking about Preacher. Finally got around to finishing it, such a great show
What pisses me off about the use of power is, the comics perfectly uses the power and had no inconsistences
While the series keeps adding, removing and conveluting the rules
They could have simply ADAPTED THE BOOK and I will never understand the instinct not to do
@@matttriano Ego
@@ZackHeise Production notes from On High. "You can't show that." "You can't have her say that." "You can't have him say that." "They can't be together when that happens." etc etc etc.
One of the biggest flaws of this show. In comics the rules are laid out quickly. We know what kind of power Genesis gave to Jesse, or how Saint of Killers weapons work. They start toying with this ideas, write themselves into corner so they need to invent new stuff on the fly.
Herr Starr is so ludicrous I just laughed non-stop.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE COMICS as the plot is different enough it is entertaining all over again.
I've never read the comic. Maybe I will now.
Different ENOUGH? The comic is COMPLETELY different. Much more entertaining and focused. Fantastic backstory and such a killer premise!
"In what world is a woman obeying a man considered a super power?"
Funny thing that actors for Butcher and Preacher are almost lost twins.
In the comics, the word of god doesnt just control people. It can literally cause phenomenon to occur simply by word of command. So sending someone to hell with a command is not out of the question
Can you give an example? I can't think of one at all.
Edit: actually I remember one. Jesse makes the henchmen at Angelville spontaneously combust
@@andrewdunn8778he send Eugene to hell
Yesssss let's gooooo
Now I just need a Black Sails retrospective and I can die happy
We need more people to preach the good word of Black Sails, I can only do so much on my own
Wow this is so wierd...I was just thinking the same thing
Yes please Mr retrospective man 🙏🙏
One of the weirdest shows in Terms of quality i ever watched. Thank u for covering it it's really overlooked
YES! Nobody EVER talks about this show and my favorite channel just has!!!
Thank you for covering this show. You hit the nail on the head when it came to the show's depreciating quality. Regardless, still a favorite show of mine when it was airing.
How does no one mention that the punch line of the entire show is just "Jesus tap dancing Christ"

Humperdoo: yay!
more like jesus's severely mentally retarded tap dancing decendant
Superb summation!
as someone that read (and loved) the comics, but only saw the pilot of the show, it sounds like the show got trapped in the swirl of uncertainty that is being a tv show on AMC.
If they'd known going in that they'd have 5 or 6 seasons, they could have fit a straight adaptation of the source material into that. But everything being up in the air until S3 (or even S4) made them reshuffle plotlines at the cost of necessary connective tissue.
Main example, Odin Quincannon didn't even show up as a character for the first 3 and a half years of the comic run.
Preachers first season is seriously one of my favorite shows ever. The ending was so unsatisfying that it makes it hard to watch again
I stopped watching after season 3. I may watch it, but have heard not so good things about it.. Plus the Jesse, Tulip and Cas were always separated.. Which is why I loved the show.. Was the three of them together..
It was okay to have side eps.. where they go off on their own. But half the season they were always apart... I didn't like that at all.
@@jamillajohnson6108 yeah honestly once God revealed himself and all the mystery was answered it just went to shit. Which sucks because it was such a great show
@@francisoffilth7953 The hardest thing for writers to do is create a GOD character compelling enough to reach that hype, due to the omni presence.. If you can't write GOD... Just leave it be as a figment/ elusive being....
The ending of the show should have been to finally reach GOD and him/her be something completely different than how everyone who has come across GOD perceived him/her to be... That way when the audience, Jesse, Tulip and Cas finally met him/her... We all have this idea in our head... That's ALL WRONG.
Very few shows get the GOD character right and my favorite writing of a GOD character is Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the character of Glory... A GOD stuck in a human body as it's prison.. Only being able to show her true self for short periods of time.. That was great writing on a character of that magnitude while showing a weakness to them...
In Preacher maybe, had they used an actual dog shown in every single ep randomly as all hell breaks loose around it and our main guys.. Then at the end we see this same dog and poof it's GOD all along... So many things could have been done..
I just didn't like the constant separation of the main characters that was my biggest issue... They dropped the character driven plot lines to fill with action back drops... While a lot of people didn't like season 2. I LOVED it.. The season was more contained without being contained... Taking place in Denis's apartment in N.O. which is wild in itself... Side ep's that derailed you, but always circling back around to the three of them..
100% with you.
Was a pretty big fan of s1
Lost interest in s2
Gained it again in s3
And s4 was just a huge mess.
A shame they did not capture the magic of s1 again
i'm in the same boat, i adore seasons one and three, two is fine but not as engaging even though i do really like the grail characters, and i have completely repressed season four because of how disappointing it was.
S1 of Preacher is one of the best of the decade and so underrated.
Season 1 is great! Unfortunately it kinda goes downhill after that. Season 2 started great but kinda dragged, season 3 really started to lose me, and I didn’t really care for season 4 at all.
@@nickfitchner3218 Exactly Nick, spot on. But yeah szn1 was such a banger.
@@nickfitchner3218 s1 is he weakest, gtf0
Season 3 was the best. S2 had the best atmosphere. S1 was good but not as good as the otherd
I think Preacher sending Eugene to hell was more of an example of how powerful Genesis really is. When he did that, it was a moment of passion, and we know the power of Genesis can be so much more if developed over time, when Jesse is force tossing God like a sack of potatoes. Unfortunately, they never really dive into what Jesse could do beyond using the word, until the end.
They did do a great job bringing the characters to life, especially tulip and cassidy.
I made it all the way to the guy who deafened himself. The "WHAT" killed me. And also convinced me to go watch the show first before I watch this video. Thanks for that
It was great to get a retrospective on this, I dropped it early in Season 3 because of how rough 2 was compared to 1. It's good to know that I wasn't missing much seeing how bad the fourth season was.
Preacher to me is like Heroes. The first season is the only one I need and the only one I watch
Awe I miss that show now
S2 is way better than S1 tho.
To be fair: the comics suffer from the same loss of pacing and story for suite 2 and arguably 3. Suspend your disbelief, ignore plotholes, and you'll be able to appreciate the full series. At the end of the day, it's entertainment and art. Opinion is valid because it's an opinion, but as a comic fan, I'm about to have my fiancee watch the show for the first time, and honestly, it's a good time still!
As someone who never saw the show but read all of the comic, it sounds like it's actually a pretty good adaptation, and you might be giving the TV writers both too much credit and blame. Because the comic also starts out very strong, then meanders around and struggles to find new highs, occasionally does so, occasionally misses, and then just sort of ends (though it treats Cassidy better in the end from the sound of things).
Well, not to spoil the series at the end. Cassidy did not get a really good happy ending.😢
@@mr.icannot5641 Yeah he does. He's essentially given a fresh start after all the pain and misery he's inflicted on literally everyone around him except maybe his first circle of friends. Cassidy screws everyone, willingly or not, but gets de-vampirised and a blank slate. That's more than anyone who has his history could ask for.
@@thebuddhasmiles no, in this series real action series, he died by committed suicide
@@mr.icannot5641 oh okay. My bad
Exactly this. I loved the comic to be sure, but as much as I did, it's a goddamn slog sometimes. All things considered, I think the show did a better job, over all. Opinions and assholes though. The things I missed most from the comics were the shorter side stories that helped develop character, but on the tails end of that coin, I don't feel that including them in the show would have helped at all. For what it's worth though, its a genuinely great adaptation. I think if people these days could remember how SHIT comic movies and shows used to be, the wouldn't be so quick to judge a single weak season as harshly as they do. Even at its worst, it was STILL better than most of what was around at the time by a pretty large margin.
Thank you for this retrospective. I'm saved ... from hours of meandering boredom.
I've subscribed and liked, as all should do. Your work rocks!
I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to say that your videos have all been wonderfully made. There is so much Fantastical wordplay that I can't get over. That I don't want to get over, and I won't! Thank you for doing what you do!❤
I am so entertained right now, I have a bad headache and laughing is making it worse but i'm about to watch all your videos.
Ruth Negga is absolutely incredible. I’m hoping she will do more movies and get numerous awards.
Up the Irish🇮🇪
Ayo that name. do people get sued when they say her name?
Have to disagree, Ruth did a good job. But I absolutely hate her portrayals of tulip. Just to much childishness ignorance. I couldn't stand it. She pushed way to hard in many many scenes. It just came off unlikeable to be. I'm sure Ruth did other great shows but I didn't like her in preacher. She annoyed 😠 the piss out of me.
@@hulkimania yeah, you have a valid point. As I not as familiar with Preacher lore I don’t know what to compare her with. For me there are actors I like or dislike. Purely arbitrary. My daughter loves Nicholas Cage and I think he’s a horrible actor. Same with many others. There is no accounting for personal taste. Oh well.
@hulkimania
Agree. Hated her. Almost put me off watching the show entirely, she was such a ridiculous character to me. The one bad part.
this show is just so absurd and stupid. I absolutely love it. binged almost the whole show in a week or two
my man, I dearly love the show, it went so balls to the walls, even some friends, who are usually not interestedin such shows gave it a shot. I'm highly anticipating what you have to say about it. This is my first encounter w/ your channel, hopefully it's not the last!
I think they made a huge mistake not bringing back several season 1 characters for other seasons. I get they wanted to do the comic thing and blow up the town. But they also tossed their most interesting characters by far in the trash. They could have brought them back - not like people can't escape from hell in this universe. I kept waiting for arseface to have a reunion with his family or something. It never quite found a real firm direction again after that.
I loved the comics. Never made it past the first episode of this show. It was weird, even for Preacher!
I wouldnt say its a bad show, but I was pretty disappointed with how they re-wrote the trio's dynamic... it's the heart of the comic book. Just as a quick explanation : The BFF nature of Jesse and Cassidy is almost non-existent in the show, yeah he's there, but they never seem to agree or have fun together, in the book it's like a ''bro at first sight'' kind of situation because they agree on almost everything. Tulip and Jesse are supposed to be completely in love, Tulip may know Jesse is dangerous and unpredictable but that's also part of why she's falling for him over and over. Most of the time in the comics when Jesse and Tulip fight, it end up in sex. So when Cassidy starts falling in love with Tulip it's a huge drama moment, especially because he goes behind Jesse's back and Tulip doesn't entirely consent.. Which make Jesse's return intimadating and peak drama. In the show Tulip seems annoyed by Jesse (and she's right, he's such a push-over in the show)... The saint of killer was pretty cool but then again how the hell could you ruin him, he's such a simply badass character.
Season 2 just lost me, I remember just not picking it up again when season 3 started.
I miss Preacher so much. I wish it had continued. I think the different seasons pacing was deliberate as it could not have continued at the level of season 1. Being from an older generation that watched "American Gothic" I was quite happy for sub plots to evolve that did not serve the main story ark. I loved the Preacher comics when they came out and at no point was I disappointed with the show. Big respect to all the actors who worked on the show - you really captured the spirit :).
Thanks for your time and effort to piece this together.
I forgot how good the bad guys were!
The show wasn't amazing, but I'll always see Dominique Cooper as Jesse Custer.
"I'm 14 and I think this is deep" kind of describes both the comic and the show apparently. I read the comics and I thought it had some funny moments but was uneven and focused too much on castration. I was curious how the show turned out but not curious enough to watch it. Thanks.
Exactly dude, Garth Ennis is pretty much the original Redditor so that description fits perfectly
53:11 The reason is simple: Jesus tap-dancing christ.
Thank you for leaving out Eugne's ending it was pretty dumb to be honest! and added nothing to the show this really was one of the strangest series I've ever watched and damn. The Sanit of Killers was way too OP and it felt like nothing should've been able to stop him.
He was like that in the comic as well, it was just better written and presented. They don't need to trap him in the original, they negotiate with him bc he isn't really a villian there.
In the comics Eugene becomes a rock star still as arseface, I’d like to think if the show had one more season he’d become an indie rocker, maybe he would have an awful podcast
I loved this weird show. I own some of the comics as well.
If Preacher was edited down to be 1/3 it’s current length, I think it would have been a huge hit.
I missed the last 2 seasons so this helped round it all out. I loved this show even with all the missteps outlined here
lol, I forgot about the great visual pun of Jesus Tapdancing Christ.
Wooo hooo!! Seeing you’ve uploaded a new series reflection is one of the best news I see all week! Only watched the first season of this show…curious to see what your take is!
Everything about this, Yess! just yes! Awesome job on this, fully agreed on everything!
"with all the persistence of Howard Hamlin following up on a job offer."
That's quite persistent.
Bro, I love your channel and your content. You should feel very proud of yourself
The comic series is SOOOO much better. I actually stopped watching the show when I picked up the comics and never turned back lol
I've avoided the show for year as I I always imagined it could never live up to the graphic novels... Looks like I made the right decision..
I do love how the god is the most generic looking, God, the white beard and stuff.
I was genuinely looking forward to this when I saw you post it was your next retrospective. You're amazing
I loved preacher. They blew it up in the final season as does every show. Gotta ruin it so no one else can come along and fix it proper. But I really liked it. The entire story was decent. Amazing videography effects. Soundtrack. It was good. Had great potential
41:43 Ah, a man of culture
Preacher has the same problem as most adaptations, instead of following the story already put forth they start making up their own stuff and get lost. It was mostly an okay watch but it could've been so much better.
This is now the third time I've watched the first 10 minutes of one of your retrospectives, paused it, binged the entirety of the show you're covering, then finished the rest of the video. You're doing the lord's work Slip
God damnit
In my opinion, Preacher is probably one of the best comic books of all time. It’s a house of cards of various characters and plot lines that add up to a climactic ending that will break your heart. One of the coolest aspects is you have no idea what it’s really all about until it jumps up and emotionally gut-punches you during the final pages.
The idea that a bunch of TV writers thought they could improve upon it is laughable at best and infuriating at worst. I turned it off after two episodes when I realized they were going to completely fuck-up adapting one of the best comics I’ve ever read. And now it’ll probably never be done properly. And a bunch of people who never read the book will think that THAT garbage is Preacher. Good job fellas. All I can hope is it leads some people back to the book.
I know I sound like one of those insufferable types who pooh-pooh any diversion from source material, but I’m really not. I love zany new takes on established characters and I recognize when it’s a good idea to switch things up like in the case of The Walking Dead. But Preacher is not that. It’s an intricate novel of a comic book, and required no updating, no changes. The arrogance of those who chose to do so is matched by their apparent laziness and inability to justify the endless changes they made.
Yeah, that's about how I felt too. The first season felt coherent, like everything was in place from the start and the season was all about gradually discovering it. Everything after that felt like the writers were just frantically coming up with random stuff as they went along. Season three and four were still somewhat entertaining just for seeing what batshit insane thing would happen next, but didn't have much in the way of narrative weight. It's kind of sad how Starr, who commanded armies, wasn't as scary or convincing a villain as Quincannon, who commanded a bunch of idiot rednecks. 😛
love this channel thank you
That HIMYM clip….PLEASE GIVE ME A 5 HOUR HIMYM RETROSPECTIVE!!!!!!!
Yes jesse coming back to life episode confused me too and nice ending to the video that scene killed me!
This channels so goddamn good man
I enjoyed Preacher on and off through the wild S3 finale. The shows enduring value, however, is introducing Corey Wolfhart to the world.
I just found your channel today (the almighty algorithm correctly surmised I'd enjoy your Dexter videos), and I haven't read Preacher in years but I belive the way his power works is that once the listener hears the command, they are compelled to obey and we have the power to go to hell, we just don't know how to tap into that (or maybe there are usually barriers).
edit: I abandoned this series in season 2. While I was fine with changes from the source material, the direction they took in season 2 bored me beyond words, and the Adolf story line was also off-putting and pointless. I don't recall if it was in the source (I recall that Arseface had some adventures) but if it was, this was not a successful adaptation of that.
What made me edit my comment was I reached you going into season 3, and ... nope. That's not Angelville and the adaptation to me abandons what made it so chilling. His grandmother was a super conservative christian fanatic, not a loan shark purveyor of voodoo running an underground fight club. And Jody wasn't just meant to be big, tough, and sadistic, he was meant to look like a cajun version of masculine icon, the one who shapes Jesse in his own twisted way. In fact, that's a running theme missing in the series: Jesse confronting male archetypes with God being the final boss (with the ironic twist I won't go into here).
Anyway, I made the right call.
Hoping to see you channel grow an prosper as you make vidoes as excellent as you have been!
Preacher is one of my favorite comics, next to Transmetropolitan and the Invisibles. I like almost everyone involved in this show, but I hated it. I remember bitching to my wife about how much they ruined one of the best comics ever. I highly recommend reading the books. Way more over the top than the show.
you are very good at what you do. but clearly , this show is exhausting. wonderful premise. awful execution. Love your work.
is it crazy that the best kenyan rep ive ever seen was the first 2 minutes of this show 😭 😭
What a glorious show this was ❤
I thought it was a fantastic adaptation for the time they had to adapt it. Respect and love for the source material. Lots of personality and style. Great acting. Didn’t quite hit the emotional stuff with Cassidy and Jesse like the books maybe even the saint but still did some things better than the books (herr star god humperdoo ) this was a hard thing to adapt so I give them a lot of credit. Hit that bitter sweet ending and cameos of every storyline they didn’t have time to fit. One of my fav sleeper shows
What a dumb idea to have someone else to make a deal involving your soul. Yeah they definitely needed reserch !
Amc and fx have had a lot of underrated shows during this era
This show was a rare testament of comic faithful and getting exactly what we wanted in a tv series.
I've just finished the BCS retrospective after just finishing BCS after just finding out about this channel, and suddenly this video comes along on my recommended. This channel is a joy.
That said, I'll never watch Preacher on the grounds of the comic book being progressively lamer (and the ass-face one-shot being one of the most insulting depictions of depression/suicude attempts/abusive parenthood I've ever seen in media), but I'll sure as hell enjoy this retrospective nonetheless.
The venture bros reference didn't go a miss nice job
I wanted to cry when this show ended
After Season 2 i just watched the best scenes on youtube. Guess I made the right choice
Herr Starr is the peak of Ennis and that will never change
The comics are so much better
In retrospect, i admit Preacher was flawed, but i was immensely addicted to the show as it was airing. And my peak of the show was season 3 finale. After I've collected the whole series i will start rewatching it
Just from watching this video it sounds like this show really paved the way for the American Gods show. Too bad American Gods only had one good season though
I'm a HUGE fan of the Preacher comic book.. I've read ALL the graphic novels..& as ALWAYS... even tho i ENJOYED the the television series..as usual it's BETTER to watch the TV adaptation BEFORE you read the books..
Btw did you REALLY have to BLUR OUT that scene with the arrow thru the head?? RUclips allows MUCH more BLOOD in reality based COP SHOWS
The funniest part of this show is that Humperdoo is played by the lead singer of The All American Rejects
PREACHER: How NOT to adapt a best selling comic to television.
Or : How to fuck up Ennis story without understanding the dynamic of main trio and muddling everything with tons of boring stuff.
If you haven't done it already, can you do Legion and The Bridge. Marcella and The Fall, also. Oh, and Halt and Catch Fire.
Really wish this series was easier to find on streaming, I've been meaning to rewatch it but can't bring myself to pay $80 for a digital copy
So much of your description of this show reminds me of The Leftovers. Or at least your description of season 3.
I loved this show
They actually found God pretty early when they went to New Orleans.
He asked someone if they had seen God and that person took him directly to God.
You even had a clip of him talking to Tulip still wearing the dog suit he had on in the city.
Did you use the music from Carn-evil in this? I respect that.
Just started the retrospect. I’m excited to see what you have to say about it. In my opinion, the first season was BAD ASS. Everything else mostly sucked big time.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I never even knew this show had a 4th season and now I realize that I had watched it... lol
So basically the problems with it are why AMC's programming sucks: generally an interesting concept but they screw it all up because they're trying to make "art" and decide to destroy any tension and care by stopping everything to do character pieces and essentially monologues.
And building minutes long of suspense that are way out of place
Too bad they couldn't get my favorite comic to live action.
"A big C word gets in his way" I say the word that I think it is & my wife gets mad at me for saying it.
This show is like Supernatural on steroids:D
I'm a fan of the books but I realise that stuff has to often be changed when changing the medium. However if you can't think of anything better, leave it be. I think that was my problem with Preacher in a nutshell.
I really wish that God was just messing with everyone for the final plan. Like the whole reason he decided he needed the tap dance was because he found it funny.
in the shows defense...it's kinda like the comic wich was great at times, and others would meander into a dozen chapters in a side plot like the bouyu stuff hehe.
Loved Preacher. Thought it was great
