My gf and I love the tv series, but we have have this question about the overall DC universe and if the events from preacher cross with other characters. Can anyone answer this?
Is their identity that well hidden? 🤦♂️ What's your theory?
The last we see of him is he gets out of the hospital in Australia and after getting hit by a car trying to play Closing Time. He tries to play it again but it sucks so he plays some punk instead and everyone enjoys it. Is that the last scene with him at all?
I've watched the series several times and can never determine this scene - Cassidy is doing laundry in New Orleans at Denis's apartment. He comes across a pair of women's underwear and looks at them with some dismay.
Does the underwear belong to Tulip, causing him to think about how this could be his domestic life, his laundry intermixed with hers?
OR
Does the underwear belong to a random woman Denis brought back to the apartment and Cassidy realizes Denis is getting out of control?
Both fit. Cassidy seems to do a lot of thinking this season about both Denis and Tulip and his own desires for family... And I can't figure it out.
I always dreamed that someday Steve and Garth would return to the PREACHER universe to do a "Son Of A Preacher Man" one shot about >!the boy Jesse and Tulip would've wound up having.!<
But, with no Steve, it just wouldn't feel right.
My husband and I have been looking for a new show to watch and stumbled across Preacher. We are on season 2 but both of us are getting a bit annoyed at Jessie and Tulip. They are hard to root for and their relationship is toxic and not fun to watch(for us.)
Do either of them have character growth at a point or should we just find a new show to binge? I am actively wishing for them to be onscreen together less.
So I just finished watching the show with my boyfriend and we're both confused now. I tried looking it up and can't find any answers. Does anyone know what, exactly, happens after the Saint of Killers kills God? I know in the book he goes to sleep on the throne, but like what happens to every who dies thereafter? Do Heaven and Hell still work the same way, with distribution of souls? Or do the souls have nowhere to go? Or, does it not matter at all since that would typically be the job of Charon? Did Hitler take over Hell in the books? If so, what happened to Hell after Jesus killed him? And most importantly, what happened with Cass? Did he actually walk into the Sun?
His blood? I'm confused
Why does Jesse not give a single shit that everyone in the town died? Am I missing something? Does he not know the town exploded? His friend Emily and her kid just died and he never has mentioned anything about it.
Really enjoying this show, it's right down down my alley and I'm surprised I never watched it sooner. After that last episode.. seeing the dog in the opening theme really hits different now. Jeeeeeez. 😂
I like the wtf moments in the show, from the "go to hell" scene to Humperdoo, this is turning out to be a pretty fun show.
I don't entirely mind that they mixed up the storylines and changed how things unfolded more or less. It did initially bother me that season one started basically in the storyline where Jesse is the town Sherrif going against Quincannon (though, they changed a little too much for my liking in some respects).
But it was the characterizations of the main players. Jesse did not have nearly the defiance and bravado as the comic counterpart. As much as I like Ruth Negga, and I don't inherently mind that they cast her in the role, her being a southerner instead of from Boston, and making her dad a criminal just sort of ruined the core of who she was. And her dynamic with Jesse was all over the map and did not do the comic couple any justice whatsoever. And Cassidy. It's like they didn't know what to fucking do with him. He should have stuck by Jesse much longer into the series than he did.
I was also really annoyed by Jody not being the emotionless asshole he is from the comic and the fact that the series made me actually like TC. In his own way, he was kind of adorable. The show should have made you hate and detest them, and it didn't.
I feel the only ones they got right, as far as a tv version of, was Starr, Featherstone & Hoover. Though, I would have much preferred to see Starr really berate Hoover more than he did.
Oh, and the Saint of Killers. Graham McTavish really nailed him down very well.
My friend Bruno Shepard made this 3D sculpture and i thought it would be pretty cool to share it.
Hot take time and I'm ready to get blasted.
The comic is my all-time favorite. Ennis really crafted an amazing story that hooked me from start to finish.
I started watching the show a few months ago, took a break and am picking it back up now that it's on Netflix. I don't mind the deviation from the source material, I like the supporting cast and the tone and setting have a good feeling to them.
My biggest and only gripe I have with the show is Jesse Custer. I like and respect Dominic but man, he just really drags the role down. Idk if it’s him, or the writing but I just don’t dig it. It's the constant, overly dramatic, soft spoken exchanges where he just goes on about something from the bible or his past or how shitty people and deities are. I have a hard time not mentally tuning out when he goes on one of his speeches. I feel like I'm watching a soap opera at times. Every other character has smooth, believable dialog that keep me engaged and amused but then Jesse comes along and goes on some long rant about finding God like he's auditioning for some college drama production.
Now, he has his moments that make me not completely hate him and when he shines, boy does he shine in the role. I just find that he's the weakest character in the show writing wise (I'm only up to the end of S2) and that's a shame since he's the main character.
With that being said, I'm still heavily enjoying the show. It's not like Jesse is some horribly written character, just one of the weakest compared to the rest of the cast of characters.
Does anyone know if Boo Berry is a sponsor of Preacher? It seems like this cereal is in every episode it could possibly make a cameo in, including a suspicious amount of the characters saying it is "their favorite cereal".
I think I’m on my 4th or 5th watch thru right now and I’m nearing the end and I just thought to myself I don’t think I’ve seen a demon in this show yet. Yeah there are the people who run hell, those 2 people who were trying to find out who doesn’t belong, there’s satan, the angel of death and the saint of killers but do we ever see an actual demon? It’s been over a year since my last viewing and I know I’ve missed some things each time but I just don’t remember any. Unless we see them at the end of the series cuz I’m not there yet but idk. I figured I’d ask Reddit. Are any of the people we see definitely demons? Maybe it’s the voice changing thing that’s meant to give it away.
Hey everybody, I was planning on putting together a Saint of Killers Halloween costume for the holiday this year, and I have been struggling to find the different parts of it online. Was just wondering if anyone here has done this before and if anyone might have any recommendations for what to buy. If you do have any ideas, please let me know! Thanks!
I recently finished season 4 and I was wondering if anyone else thought it was weird that the killer of saints could kill god. Wasn’t he just a regular person? And what gave him special powers in the first place? And even if he did have special powers, why would God create something that was powerful enough to kill himself and the Devil?
I’ve started watching preacher on Netflix and am only in the third episode of the first season. It seems good, but I’m kind of wary of the whole show because I don’t know if it’s going to be dark the whole time or if preacher is even a good guy. Is the overall story worth the investment and is it like Lucifer because it reminds me a little bit of that show.
So.. I just noticed that an archangel’s normal blade can block a bullet from SoK
But literal God, the creator cant block? move, stop time, move the bullet etc?
The literal creator’s aura, shield, skin, energy
Is weaker than the archangel’s blade ?
Why even put this BS in there? It undermines everything.
At the end it’s shown that genesis can control God (ridiculous in my opinion but sure)
So why didn’t Jesse make God his puppet? Say commands that make him invulnerable, manipulate God instead of planning that SoK can kill God?
What if he couldn’t? Jesse released Genesis and would have no protection?
Why not just use Genesis? To be a better God through God?
Like command God “you will not play sick showy games with humanity” etc
Seems so BS.
Also, can an arch angel mate with more demons and create more Genesis?
I’m a Texas native. Come from 1830’s Appalachian travelers and my whole family has the classic Texas drawl.
Jesse and Tulip have the worst gaddamned fake Texas drawl and it ruins the whole show for me. They sound like a parody skit aimed as a roast toward southerners.
There’s waaaaay to many hackneyed southern sayings that none of us use, it’s cringe. I’m a bonafide hillbilly and it’s just synthetic as fuck.
And Tulip spinning her tires every time she puts the car in gear is also absurd.
Heyyyuuuh heeyuk burn rubber, insert southern phrase, repeat.
The producers could have hired some Texans to hand out with the cast for a while to get the proper cadence.
It’s like a Texan faking a British accent that sounds like an Aussie. Or worse, when a white dude talks black or Hispanic around people of different races.
I love Theo Von, minus when he does that shit.
I'm sitting here in New England at 11pm listening to an annoying bird tweet tweet tweet. I said "shut up bird" in an authoritative tone and inflection. The bird stopped tweeting
