So by far the scariest part about AMC’s new show Preacher, is that this television adaptation of the twenty year old comic series is, according to reviews, far less violent than the original story. For just a taste of what this show is offering in terms of explosions, and I do mean explosions of violence, check out the opening scene:
Preacher: Something is coming. War! Oh, yes. Right and wrong, the light and the darkness are at it again. But we are not afraid. No. No. No. No. We know that the deliverance will come. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! A prophet! This is written. This is promised. The Book of Revelation 19:11 says, "And there before me was a white horse whose rider is called Faithful and True." Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! "He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the word of God!" Be... Quiet! I.I.am the prophet. I am the chosen one.
Again, this is the apparently toned-down and family-friendly version of Preacher.
