Can a Hellblazer Adaptation Ever Succeed?

[@Timid_Snake]

Please watch this video, those animations took me way longer than I expected and I did not need to put that much effort into this. Anyway please enjoy and look out for my next video which will be exponentially longer. I have also created a Patreon page even though I never wanted to make content for money because at this point I am kinda desperate right now, if you'd consider checking it out I would really appreciate it: patreon.com/TimidSnake?Link& You can currently see and comment on my next project script for 5 USD/month. Give me feedback as well.

[@counterstrikelord]

well you did something right since youtube decided to recommended this video to me having never heard of this comic series

[@Timid_Snake]

then I guess one hellblazer thing has succeeded.

[@counterstrikelord]

@@Timid_Snake =P great video btw

[@ggpx1]

Nice video. KZbin urges for more hellblazer content

[@mr.jultra4720]

I loved the Vertigo comics brand that DC had. Hellblazer was definitely one of my favorite series.

[@randyslicker]

Just to let you know, the backstory of John and his rapidly diminishing number of friends is in Hellblazer issue 11.

[@juliasoag]

This video is so well made :)

[@abigailechols9798]

Legends of tomorrow dud finish the Newcastle Incident storyline fron the standalone tv series. That show is goofy af, but is fun; and becomes exponentially enjoyable with the addition of Constantine. At least watch his first season for closure.

If you keep making videos like this you'll get a lot more subscribers. Great effort dude. You've got quality.

I wanted to get the tattoos that John has on this forearms, I just turned 37 and am still thinking about it.

[@Timid_Snake]

go for it, what's stopping you?

[@darkcloud2442]

@@Timid_Snake Absolutely nothing, but I want to get in better shape before I get more ink. And I still have to figure it’s gonna blend well with the rest of my sleeve.

[@Timid_Snake]

@@darkcloud2442 That's fair.

Im not a fan of comic books, and definitely not comic book movies. I was still recommended this video by the algorithm, so perhaps your break into gaining more viewership is close. Its clear you put a lot of work into your content, so I wish you success.

[@Timid_Snake]

This will probably be the last video I make about comic book movies because I haven't watched any new ones in about 5 years. Thank you for writing this comment though.

Thanks, I tried my best.

To answer the question God I hope so. Constantine is a fantastic character that should he so much more popular than he is. On Paper it sounds like he should but that’s not the case. Matt Ryan was like lightning in a bottle in terms of casting sadly most of the projects he was in didn’t deserve his fantastic performance, however given a good writer Matt would be perfect for a new Constantine project that is more mature and horror themed. The way that Matt Ryan portrayed Constantine is unparalleled and he truly shines in the animated films cause they don’t hold back on the adult films. Matt Ryan is so effortless in his transition from Live action to animation and back. He truly IS John Constantine. To me he is to Constantine what Kevin Conroy was to Batman.

[@Timid_Snake]

I was going to say in the video that Matt Ryan is like Kevin Conroy for Constantine because he truly does embody the character in every way. Personally I don't like the animated films because I dislike the DCAU animation style past 2008, I really wish they would return to the Bruce Timm or Jeff Matsuda style.

The TV show Constantine was very good. The acting was good, etc. In fact, I bought the DVD and watched all the extra materials. My main problem with it was that the writers were all 23-25 years old and pretty fresh faced. Having come of age around the same time as Constantine and in the same milieu (in the US), I have got to say that the Hellblazer comics heavily rely on that world to set stories in the present. The real writers (except for one) and not the executive writing staff (who edited the scripts) didn't seem aware of that world, with its politics, substance abuse especially alcohol and tobacco, and the attitude, and they reflected less edged version of their experiences. It is very unfair to ask them to have in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the period nor to include their own experience and underground background (even though it is apparent most of the writers didn't). Having said all that, I also recommend it -- it is a faithful to the comics as you are going to get.

[@asinimali]

PS. I don't think Reeves read the comics until they started filming.

[@thenerdgirl1]

Love the movie but yeah... It's not a good adaptation of the comics and I'd LOVE a better adaptation. I adore Keanu but he's not the right choice for Constantine. At all.

[@Emery101]

Nope…very not pc for the screen unless they adapt the dc reboot of Constantine.

[@ernestoglesby5342]

I wish Matt Ryan hadn't gone woke.

[@Timid_Snake]

thank god he's woke, I wouldn't want it any other way.

Have you ever read hellblazer? John Constantine is a bisexual, anarchist who hates thatcher and plays heaven and hell against each other
