Constantine	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Constantine is a 2014 Urban Fantasy TV series which debuted in October on NBC, an adaptation of the DC Comics comic book Hellblazer. It is the second attempt to bring the comic to live action, after the 2005 film of the same name.The series stars John Constantine (played by Matt Ryan), a "Master of the Dark Arts" ("I should change that to 'Petty Dabbler', I hate to put on airs") for hire, a deeply flawed man haunted by the mistakes of his past, stuck in a crusade against the Legions of Hell. Aiding in his quest are Mary "Zed" Martin (played by Angélica Celaya), a mysterious psychic whose visions lead her to join forces with John, and Chas Chandler, John's oldest friend (played by Charles Halford). The first season is a loose adaptation of the "American Gothic" storyline that first introduced Constantine in Swamp Thing, with some elements, plots and characters lifted from the first volume of the Hellblazer comic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series' pilot was accidentally leaked online. Among other changes, the official premiere had a revised ending - the creators wrote out the original female lead, Liv Aberdine (played by Lucy Griffiths), the daughter of an old friend of Constantine's, and replaced her with Zed.Despite its online popularity, the fans' best efforts, and the huge #SaveConstantine presence on social media, NBC canceled the show after 13 episodes. Constantine showrunner Daniel Cerone tweeted that Warner Bros. was attempting to find the show a new home for a second season, but one month later he announced that Warner Bros. had been unable to sell the series elsewhere and thus had released the writers and cast from their contracts, rendering the show cancelled for good.Constantine was one of three live-action DC Comics shows to premiere in 2014, along with The CW's The Flash and FOX's Gotham. Though being on different networks originally made crossovers seem unlikely, Matt Ryan reprised his role as John Constantine on the fifth episode of Season 4 of Arrow, retroactively placing this show in continuity with The Arrowverse. Rights complications however initially prevented Constantine from appearing again, but on January 8th, 2017 it was announced that the show is coming back as an animated show on CW Seed called Constantine: City of Demons with Matt Ryan again voicing the character. Tropes for that show should go here. He was also Promoted to Opening Titles for Legends of Tomorrow - contingent on the series getting renewed after a (highly) acclaimed season 3. Overall, 2018 would see Constantine hold the distinction of becoming the first character to be the title protagonist of three shows. note This one, the animated spin-off, and as a member of the Legends.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The original live-action series can be streamed on CW Seed for free.

Constantine / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Constantine / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The narration from the end of the first episode is lifted line for line (aside from some omissions) from Garth Ennis' first issue of Hellblazer. John gets into an argument with a bartender about who is more influential, The Ramones or The Sex Pistols, and Ritchie has a Johnny Rotten painting in his office. Punk music is a major part of Constantine's life, specifically when he saw The Clash perform. In "The Devil's Vinyl," John listens to The Ramones near the beginning of the episode while practicing a new spell. In the end, he listens to The Sex Pistols to drown out the evil record's magic. His last name is pronounced "Constan-TEEN" like in the movie, rather than "Constan-TYNE" like in the comics. John yells, "I'm a nasty piece of work, chief. Ask anybody." in the pilot. He said the same thing in The Saga of the Swamp Thing #37, one of his earliest appearances. In the pilot, when Liv asks John where he comes from, he wryly answers "The sordid passions of my parents," paraphrasing Zed Martin in Hellblazer #4. At the end of "The Darkness Beneath", Zed quotes another line from Hellblazer #4 nearly word for word. The helmet in Liv's father's cabin looks a lot like the Helmet of Nabu. Behind the helmet you can see◊ the Ibistick of Ibis the Invincible. Pandora's◊ Box◊ can also be seen on a shelf. Calling the phone number given by this post on the series' official Tumblr took the caller to Constantine's voicemail. If they were looking for Alec Holland, he said, they would do better to look in the bloody swamp. Liv's father is Jasper Winters, possibly Baron Winters from DC's Nightforce comics. In the pilot, Furcifer takes on the form of an evil-looking, damned version of Constantine to taunt him. In the comics, John has an actual Evil Twin, the Demon Constantine, who often looks similarly hellish. Zed's paintings include: several comic covers including the cover for Hellblazer #001,◊ Ironfist the Avenger, and Mnemoth. In "The Devil's Vinyl," The Devil is referred to as "The First of the Fallen" a few times. The Devil who appears in Hellblazer, is called The First of the Fallen to distinguish him from the other Devil in DC Comics: Lucifer. In "Danse Vaudou," the first time a driver picks up Phillip the hitchhiker, it plays out like a scene from Hellblazer: Confessional where a young Constantine was the hitchhiker, and Phillip, an older man, was the driver. In both scenes, the driver asks the hitchhiker if there's anyone expecting him because the driver is intent on sexually assaulting the hitchhiker. Both scenes also end in a car crash. The main difference is that while Constantine in the comic was traumatized by the incident, the hitchhiker in the show's version is far more dangerous than the driver. Also in the "Danse Vaudou", Zed has a vision of Jim Corrigan bleeding with a green aura glowing around him. This is a nod to Jim's future alter ego, The Spectre. In "The Rage of Caliban", Chas holds the Sword of Night, a very important DC artifact, belonging to the entity Nightmaster. In a flashback, Chas says he and John saved a family from being eviscerated by "the Monkey King," a demon that appeared in Swamp Thing. In the same episode, Constantine wryly comments to Manny he never punched an angel before, which may be a reference to one of the most iconic scenes of the movie, where Constantine punches Gabriel until she spits blood. The Monster of the Week in "Waiting for the Man" is from the comic that introduced John's niece, Gemma. Gemma is absent and replaced with a Victim of the Week who fills the same role in the plot, however. Fans of The Atom are likely to be familiar with Ivy University, where Contantine's friend Ritchie teaches; however, this version of the university is based in Atlanta instead of the fictional, mid-Atlantic/New England town of Ivy Town.

But then Nana's eyes become black voids and her mouth gapes open, spilling black goo, which terrifies Liv. Zed is an empath who can't always control her ability. Also, it turns out that her psychic abilities are caused by a tumor in her brain.

Constantine / int_3f45f1e6	type	Adaptational Heroism
Constantine / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Chas has an active role in Constantine's good deeds and is fairly competent at helping out even besides his immortality. In the source material, he is more often than not simply roped into the insane things that go on around Constantine, often only to the extent of being press-ganged into being John's driver, and is ill-equipped to handle the supernatural. His wife Rene also gets an upgrade, going from extremely abrasive, controlling and rarely sympathetic to being generally unsupportive but understandably so, considering how things look from her perspective. Gary Lester is made more sympathetic than his comic counterpart, who was much less accepting of being the host for binding Mnemoth inside of. Constantine himself also comes off better; in the comic, he doesn't sit by Gary's side so he wouldn't have to be alone while being eaten alive, either. It's easy to imagine the comic version of Papa Midnite working to fix things when his magic goes off the rails and brings the dead back as ghosts who cause havoc for practical reasons. When this actually happens in the show, however, he seems to have at least some genuine concern for the people who are caught in the middle. Further, in "Waiting for the Man," while he uses his dead sister for information, he also seems to be actively trying to bring her back. In the comics, he not only would never willingly give up her use as a tool, she has to team up with Constantine to escape him. John. His addiction to magic and meddling with forces mankind was not meant to know is downplayed to, instead, focus exclusively on the Newcastle Incident as his motivation. This version of John is The Atoner and wants to make up for his crimes (as well as avoid damnation) versus the John who is a rebel without a cause. This isn't that far from some comic portrayals of John, albeit significantly Lighter and Softer.

If they continue to say yes, she 'makes them pretty like her' and stabs them to death. As in the original legend, the only way to avoid being stabbed is to avoid answering the question at all.

He dies becoming the new vessel to hold in the Hunger Demon. "Danse Vaudou" has three women (a grandmother whose grandson died in a car accident after she kicked him out of the house; a model who lost control and disfigured another model in a blind rage, leading to her suicide; and a wife whose husband died of cancer while she was away) whose guilt is enough to drive them to consult Papa Midnite to try to talk to those they wronged. Unfortunately, it's also enough to raise those people from the dead and turn two of them into monsters who kill anyone who happens upon them and the third into a being that makes his wife sick instead of himself. Anna Marie turned to pledging her service to a convent to repent for what happened in Newcastle. John, himself, appears to be primarily motivated by the Newcastle Incident in order to help other people. It's helped along by his fear, if he doesn't, he'll be damned forever.

He attempted to Summon Bigger Fish in order to deal with the possessed girl, only to lose control of the demon he summoned, resulting in it tearing the girl body to pieces and dragging her soul to hell. He starts the series in an asylum because of it. The same goes for all of his old friends who were there. Gary, for instance, was high when the ritual began and ran and hid under a bed while Astra was dragged into hell. Papa Midnite did something to his little sister that led to her death. Anna Marie feels that introducing Constantine to the world of the occult was her greatest failure given he took the path to hell.

A man must trap and put down a demon permanently by allowing it to possess his body and then die slowly and painfully after performing the right ritual. A woman uses gypsy magic to raise earth spirits who are really the souls of dead miners to do her bidding, first by killing her husband.

But then Nana's eyes become black voids and her mouth gapes open, spilling black goo, which terrifies Liv.
