"We thought we'd find out from the 3 eyed crow, but in the show, we learned nothing. Nothing at all. Bran is just special because he was born wealthy."

"they can find you wherever you are! "

It didn't mark their location. He already knew their location, or at least he knew where they were going and had sent wights to stop them which, in turn, would've told him they were there either directly or through their deaths. But touching Bran allowed him to nullify the magic that prevented him from entering the…

If you are this bad at reading, then what did you like about "Preacher", the pictures?

Honestly, I think that Jesse and Tulip were NOT supposed to end up together, and Ennis backed off at the last minute because he liked them both and wanted them to be happy at the end. (Possibly Jesse was supposed to die, because that is always an easy endpoint for a writer to conceive early on.)

You said "later on", so I naturally assumed you meant beyond season one. Not dumping every single character into the first season is, again, *good* adapting, you have to have a hierarchy of characters. Setting up Quincannon so that "Salvation" fits into the story as a whole better does not require setting up every…

Putting Odin Quincannon in now virtually guarantees that Cindy will be represented in some way, because it means that they won't have to justify spending an entire season on characters that we've never seen before in a place that has no connection to the overall narrative other than Jesse's presence (including the…

One of the trades, I think it's the second one, he wrote the whole intro. He was also briefly connected with the project as an "executive producer" because he was trying to help shepherd it through development.

It is definitely one of those zeitgeist things which felt amazing and fresh as it was happening that hasn't aged well. I still think Ennis is a very good writer overall when he's interested and engaged in what he's doing, but he also pumps out a lot of stuff that seems to be just exercising his muscles rather than…

I think there is more to defend in the misogyny than the homophobic stuff. The sad thing is, the juvenile stuff got him his rep, so he sometimes publishes stories that are JUST the juvenile "humor" with none of the good writing. It pretty much kills "The Boys" from having any merit or value.

"prodigal son" would mean that he's on the run and "son of a preacher" — ok, sure, his actual father wasn't, but the whole "it's your family destiny" thing fits fine. So he's on the run from his overly religious family. Sounds like a good place to start a "Preacher" show to me.

What that suggests, to me, is that the "Salvation" arc will be about actually going home, rather than going to a completely unrelated place and having an adventure that has no direct tie-in to anything else that happens in the story. Which seems like a good thing (as much as I love "Salvation" in the comic, it would…

I think you should go back and read the first arc with no knowledge of what comes after it; you'd be surprised how much more Jesse reads as "disillusioned officiant" than "shellshocked survivor". (My guess is that he is going to have fled them and wound up here, rather than having accepted his fate with them; the…

I think that Ennis tends to write women that, at a glance, fit a very hacky comic book fantasy mold. Tulip is a bad-ass hit-girl that just wants to have crazy sex, Tiegel is a bad-ass cop who is a virgin but just wants to have crazy sex, etc. And the structures that he sticks to tend to also emphasize the men rather…

The book definitely calls him out on his patronizing treatment of her, but I can totally see the argument that it does so on the last 4-6 pages of a 75+ issue story that otherwise doesn't do so clearly.

I have always thought "Hitman" would be well-served by doing animation in the "Waking Life" style, but designed to look more like McCrea's art. And hopefully it would be part of a DC Animated license so they could get Kevin Conroy to show up as Batman.

That's Oscar-nominated director Adam McKay, though.

Rule #1 of this show is that Dean is always right in the end, which is kind of annoying really but you just have to go with it.

I think I like the show more than both of you as a good-enough comedy, but I do agree that it leans too much on that kind of joke and structure.

I didn't know who they were, and I thought that it was the same actor doing both and that the one shot they were in together was a deliberately lame split screen like a TV show would do… so I guess I read way more into it than was really there!
