comment
Canon Foreigner: A number of major characters in the first season are unique to the show, such as Emily, Miles, and Donny. Many of the various denizens of Hell, including Superintendent Mannering, Charon and Hitler, are unique to the show, as is the whole Hell plot line. Denis is unique to the show. He has some elements of Si Coltrane and Eccarius, but Eccarius shows up himself in season 3.

Dirty Coward: Herr Starr, through and through. He proves utterly useless when he teams up with Jesse in Season 3, since he is too afraid of the Allfather to actually help Jesse defeat him, he uses his deaf translator as a human shield to survive a firefight at Masada, and he plots to limit the apocalypse to strategic targets so that he will survive.

 Preacher (2016) / int_13eea985
comment
Arbitrary Skepticism: Cassidy, a vampire, doesn't take DeBlanc and Fiore seriously when they claim to be agents of Heaven sent to reclaim the thing inside of Jesse that gives him a Compelling Voice. For their part, when Cassidy says he's a vampire, despite being agents sent from Heaven, they don't believe him either. Cassidy is willing to buy conspiracy theories about lizard people coming down from space and impersonating celebrities, but as soon as Jesse mentions people in white suits driving white vans around, he doesn't believe any of it.

GrayAndGreyMorality
 Preacher (2016) / int_1b44c21
comment
Gray-and-Grey Morality: On the other hand, almost no one is fully evil either, even the seemingly worst monsters and biggest assholes—there is almost always some Hidden Depths, a Pet the Dog moment or at least a reminder that Even Evil Has Loved Ones. This is a marked contrast to the comic, which not only presents most of the villains as fully and irredeemably awful but also goes to some length to deconstruct a number of morally ambiguous tropes.

Mind Prison
 Preacher (2016) / int_1b8d3822
comment
Mind Prison: Hell, essentially. Here portrayed as a massive prison complex complete with guards and wardens, the inmates spend their time in bare concrete cells, being constantly forced to relive the worst moments of their lives through mechanical projectors. Occasionally, the projectors break down and the inmates are given a brief respite in a particularly miserable break room while the machines are fixed. Breaking the rules here - i.e.: by being kind or helpful in any way - will result in the offender being sent to The Hole, in which the aforementioned worst moments are made even worse through virtual reality.

Starting in the second season, Cassidy shares many conspiracy-style theories about a surprisingly wide variety of things that could be made from the foreskins of circumcised babies. Culminates in the fourth season, when a gangster tortures Cassidy by exploiting his healing factor to circumcise him numerous times in a row... and hands the bag of removed foreskins to a doctor who uses the skin to reconstruct Starr's severed ear.

Poor Communication Kills: Herr Starr gives Jesse a placebo soul to test if Jesse will use Genesis to betray him before taking Jesse to his real soul. Seeing the empty soul vial, Tulip assumes Jesse already has Genesis back and opens fire on Starr and his Grail operatives, who speed away before Jesse can get his soul back.

Red Right Hand: Herr Starr has a star-shaped scar over one blind eye and a shaved head. That's just when we first meet him; as the series progresses, he picks up a scar along his crown, a grotesque ear made from foreskins, and loses his right leg and his genitals. T.C. has a combover and rotten teeth.

Death of a Child: Played Straight by the end of the first season for both kids and dogs. In "Finish the Song", where The Saint of Killers launches his bloody rampage by butchering a schoolhouse full of young children. Sheriff Root's story to DeBlanc and Fiore about parents of three children who lose one of them at the zoo. They leave the other two children with an employee and manage to locate the missing child — only for the other two to be murdered by the employee, one body never being found at all. During a massive brawl at a Middle Eastern sex club, a stray bullet kills the child Jesse came to rescue.

Mythology Gag
 Preacher (2016) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: One of the promos◊ for the show is a recreation of the first issue's cover◊. In the pilot, Tulip notes that Jesse cut his hair and that she doesn't like it, referencing the mullet Jesse sports in the comics. We actually see Jesse sporting the mullet in several flashbacks. A Nirvana sticker can be seen in Eugene's locker. In the comics, Arseface was a huge fan of the band and apparently considered Kurt Cobain his hero. When Kurt committed suicide, Arseface attempted to follow suit. Jesse's favorite actor is John Wayne. In the comics, it is taken further as Wayne (his face conveniently hidden in shadow) serves as Jesse's conscience. In season 3, he has a dream sequence in which the character appears. The Great Ganesh has a poster of Bill Hicks on his dressing room wall. Hicks makes an appearance in the comics, and Jesse is a big fan. When the main trio is doing research on the Saint of Killers in the library, one of their sources is the actual Preacher comic book special that tells his story. The episode "Dirty Little Secret" contains Tulip and (undercover) Featherstone bonding while playing the song with the same name as the episode title by The All-American Rejects. This is also the first episode where the band's lead singer Tyson Ritter appears.

Bury Your Gays: The two rival mascots hang themselves together. An aftershow special revealed that there was an unrequited love between them that was only very subtly hinted at in the show. The second season reveals that Pedro had molested Eugene at some point prior to the series' beginning. As of 2x02, both DeBlanc and Fiore are dead at the hands of the Cowboy. In the episode where Fiore dies, he tells Cassidy in a roundabout way that they were in a sexual relationship.

Good Thing You Can Heal
 Preacher (2016) / int_3456f3c5
comment
Good Thing You Can Heal: Cassidy is extremely prone to taking what would be mortal wounds to a normal human, often through random mishaps. Simply getting shoved out a window causes him to get a glass shard stuck in his neck. In the middle of a third-season firefight, he's the only main character to get shot, and Tulip calls him a bullet magnet. In "On Your Knees," the Saint of Killers spares Tulip by knocking her unconscious on his path to the Preacher, but snaps Denis's neck in the very next scene. Luckily, Denis is a vampire by this time and survives.

Death is Cheap: When angels die on Earth, they reappear moments later, none the worse for wear...but leaving their old bodies behind. It's better for them to be killed than wounded or incapacitated. The exception is the Saint of Killers' bullets, as neither DeBlanc nor the Seraphim get back up after he shoots them. Later on, Fiore has the Saint shoot him in order to end his misery. By the end of the series, Jesse and Tulip have both died and been brought back to life, and Eugene has been to Hell and back twice.

Bittersweet Ending: The apocalypse is prevented, but Cassidy had to kill the innocent Humperdoo to stop it. Jesse gives God a "The Reason You Suck" Speech when he realizes he's needy and uncaring before releasing Genesis from his body. The Saint Of Killers shoots God dead after God refuses to stay out of Heaven. Jesse and Tulip have a daughter and grow old together, eventually dying. After their deaths, Cassidy decides to move on to the afterlife via Suicide by Sunlight. Eugene becomes a rock star and Herr Starr has his looks restored and gets away with everything.

Stylistic Suck
 Preacher (2016) / int_415b3315
comment
Stylistic Suck: In the first season finale God on his heavenly throne looks horribly cliche and cheap, and for a good reason: it's an angel pretending to be God, who is missing. Later on, it's revealed that it was actually the soul of a human actor who thought he was auditioning for a part as God and was murdered so his soul could be taken into Heaven. In the car chase in the second season premier, the film stock suddenly gets a lot of scratches, and the color balance changes to resemble an old 1970s exploitation film. A flashback to God exterminating the dinosaurs is done in deliberately cheesy stop motion.

Cold-Blooded Torture: Subverted when Cassidy promises Jesse that he can make Fiore change his mind in two and three-quarter hours, and Fiore comes into his hotel room to find Cassidy wearing a leather apron and brandishing a blowtorch. Cassidy's ploy is actually to teach him how to make and use a whole lot of illegal substances. Played horribly straight with Pat, head torturer for New Orleans gangster Viktor. Exaggerated with Frankie Toscani, head of The Grail's "Advanced Torture Class".

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Jesse almost gets his soul back from Herr Starr at the very beginning of Season 3, but due to a misunderstanding, Tulip betrays Starr prematurely. Jesse spends the entirety of Season 3 attempting to get his soul back. Jesse and Tulip successfully free Cassidy from Masada in the first episode of Season 4, only for Cassidy to refuse to leave out of self-loathing. Cassidy and Tulip spend the first half of Season 4 working up to breaking him out again.

Love Dodecahedron
 Preacher (2016) / int_4523420b
comment
Love Dodecahedron: In the first season, Jesse and Tulip are exes, though Tulip still calls Jesse her "boyfriend" rather than her "ex" most of the time. Emily has a rather obvious crush on Jesse, too. Jesse, on his part, seems basically oblivious to Emily and determined to resist Tulip. However, what would be a regular love triangle gets complicated when it turns out that both Tulip and Emily have other prospective paramours: Emily is in a Friends with Benefits arrangement with Miles, while Tulip seems to be developing a similar relationship with Cassidy, and both Miles and Cassidy are clearly quite smitten with their respective lady friends, adding a whole extra layer of complication when both women would much rather be with Jesse. By the end of the first season, Miles and Emily are dead and Jesse and Tulip seem to be getting back together while Cassidy looks on enviously, apparently trimming this down to a normal Love Triangle. By the end of the second season, everything is derailed on account of Tulip apparently dying after being shot by Lara.

Saying Too Much: Lara slips up, mentioning Tulip robbed banks in Dallas, which wasn't part of their conversation. Tulip first agrees she must have just forgotten, but then when she's still suspicious, Lara gets F. J. to come over acting like her supposed abusive ex-boyfriend when her identity is questioned. This works to make Tulip believe it.

Road Trip Plot
 Preacher (2016) / int_4885c04b
comment
The comic's Road Trip Plot structure has been completely revised so that each season can focus on a single area. The first season is turned into a Prolonged Prologue set in Annville, while the second season takes place almost entirely in New Orleans. This allows the show to reuse locations and maintain a more consistent cast across each season.

Death by Adaptation: DeBlanc and Fiore get shot dead by the Saint of Killers, when both of them lived by the end of the comic. Jesse's mother is established to have been killed by his grandmother, when the source material had her still alive by the end of the comic. Jesse stomps Jesus de Sade to death, when in the comics the worst Jesse did was rough him up.

Our Angels Are Different: Angels are indistinguishable from normal humans aside from the fact that they're immortal. If killed, they reappear at once from the nearest door; thus, the only way to stop them is incapacitation. So far, the only exception is the Saint of Killers, whose gun destroys angels and sends them to an unknown fate. Most are middle management types, but one warrior-like seraph shows up as well.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the season one finale, Cassidy and Tulip sum up Jesse's plans to roam around, get into adventures and meet strange characters. It sounds an awful lot like they're pitching the show's future seasons. Cassidy even enthusiastically states, "I could go for that!" In "Monster Swamp," Cassidy tries to explain the situation with DeBlanc and Fiore to Jesse, gets sidetracked, and says, "We gotta get you out of here! Road trip! You've gotta know that's where this is headed!"

I Never Said It Was Poison: Eugene asks if Jesse will give Genesis back to the two men in the motel, only for Jesse to quickly remind him that he never said anything about the two men in the motel. This is how Jesse figures out that the Eugene he's been talking to is actually just a figment of his imagination. Lara nearly blows her cover as "Jenny" when she mentions Tulip's time in Dallas, which Tulip hadn't mentioned. She's able to get out it with some quick thinking and some help from Hoover.

Jesse returns the favor several episodes later by helping Cassidy dispose of the animal carcasses and the mayor's body.

 Preacher (2016) / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: Cassidy lacks the monstrously bloodshot eyes that he has in the comics. Eugene Root (AKA Arseface) is also less disfigured than his comic counterpart◊, but this has an in-universe explanation: the shotgun was a good foot or so away from his face instead of right under his chin. Odin Quincannon in the comics looks almost like a bald troll doll. The TV version doesn't augment Jackie Earle Haley's appearance with any prosthetics.

Safe, Sane, and Consensual: A bit zig-zagged. Betsy has bruises from her interactions with Donnie, but she candidly states that she "likes it", and her facial expressions seem to suggest that she's getting a little turned on while talking about it with Jesse. Their son believes that his father is abusing his mother, but Donnie takes him aside and tells him that adults are "complicated" and that the noises he hears from the bedroom aren't him beating her. Later scenes make it clear that they're engaging in consensual BDSM play in the bedroom. The characterization avoids Bondage Is Bad when the couple makes a Heel–Face Turn at the end of the season.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Preacher (2016) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: The comic's Road Trip Plot structure has been completely revised so that each season can focus on a single area. The first season is turned into a Prolonged Prologue set in Annville, while the second season takes place almost entirely in New Orleans. This allows the show to reuse locations and maintain a more consistent cast across each season. Jesse doesn't wear white pants, as he does in the comic, because they would look weird in live action. They don't look strange in the comic, but even Cassidy comments on how odd they are. Cassidy doesn't keep his shades on at all times, since that would limit the actor's ability to emote. Consequently, his bloodshot eyes are dropped. Cassidy's ability to function in indirect sunlight is greatly enhanced so that the character can appear in more scenes during the day. Eugene appears to have briefly taken John Wayne's role as Jesse's Imaginary Friend/personified conscience, though the Wayne character does make an appearance during a dream sequence in season 3.

Driven to Suicide: Subverted; Donny's aforementioned Disability Immunity is set up as if he's realizing the futility of the assault on the church and deciding to end it all in an oddly convoluted way. Tracy Loach was going to commit suicide but was talked out of it by Eugene until he kissed her, which drove her to go ahead with it, with Eugene shooting himself soon afterward. Both survived, but she was a vegetable and he was horribly disfigured. Herr Starr attempts to take his life after losing his right leg and his genitals. It fails, and he only manages to mutilate himself further in the process.

comment
Adaptational Badass: Both versions of Tulip are an outstanding shot. However, the comics version of Tulip is a straight-laced person who tries to become a hitwoman but gives up immediately after seeing a picture of her first target. Her show version is a Boisterous Bruiser career criminal who delights in fighting and killing. Starr is given many more opportunities to be badass than his comic counterpart, and his humiliating moments are usually less pronounced until Season 4. For example, in both versions, he's raped by male prostitutes, but in the comics, he's horrified and develops a complex about it, while in the series he accepts it with stoic indifference and continues working in the middle of the ordeal. Eccarius in the comics is an insufferable poser who bases his whole personality on cheesy vampire fiction. Cassidy kills him for being a murderous asshole. In the show, he still enjoys the trappings of classical vampirism but has a sense of humor about it. He is also quite a bit more powerful than his comics version as well as Cassidy himself, forcing Cassidy to enlist Les Enfants du Sang to help bring him down.

comment
God Is Evil: God reappears to The Grail in the final season, and plots with them to end the world so he can replace humans with a new dominant species that loves him blindly. As shown throughout the series, he's uncaring about both human suffering and innocent people being sent to Hell unjustly, and he tortures Jesse, who still has faith in God despite all this, just because he's the only person with the power to stop him.

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the comics, Jody and T.C. are vile, sadistic and reprehensible villains, while the show makes them more morally gray. T.C. in particular is a much more sympathetic character who lacks many of the comic character's worst attributes and is generally pretty Affably Evil. Jody is also less mercilessly evil and even joins forces with the main characters for a period. Sheriff Root in this continuity noticeably lacks his comic counterpart's racism and homophobia in addition to being less abusive towards his son. Odin Quincannon is still a demented Corrupt Corporate Executive, but is more cordial towards Jesse than he was in the comics and isn't a racist.

Black-and-Gray Morality: Fittingly for such a Crapsack World, no one is truly good in this series. Even John Custer, who was the one who urged Jesse to be a good man in the first place, appeared to have regularly belted his son in front of other children just to "set an example." He also arranged for Tulip to be taken away by DHS when she and Jesse were kids, citing the inevitable trouble that family brings, prompting Jesse to pray for God to kill his dad. Whoops.

Bait-and-Switch: "Monster Swamp" begins with a scantily clad woman fleeing from men with rifles. They catch up to her and shoot her with a paintball as part of a consensual sex game. Then she falls into a sinkhole and dies. "El Valero" leads audiences to believe Donny has been Driven to Suicide since he sees no way to overcome Jesse's unstoppable power, putting his head in his car trunk, putting a gun to his head, and firing. It's later revealed that he was actually deafening himself to get a Disability Immunity. Throughout "Puzzle Piece", we're led to believe "Brad" is a special operative of the Grail, especially when a hulking man in a mask attacks Jesse's security detail. Turns out, that man was actually a run-of-the-mill New Orleans drunk. The real Brad, or B.R.A.D., is a guided missile the Grail fires at the apartment building the trio are staying in.

He winds up with an Earn Your Happy Ending after all of this, despite being a villain, with God granting his I Just Want to Be Beautiful wish after he finds Humperdoo.

Art Shift: The Cowboy's segments are far grittier and more serious than the present day ones, both in the color palette and what actually transpires. When we finally see him in Jesse's time, the sheer intensity and attention to detail of his grizzled appearance surrounded by the color and light and diversity of the present reinforces his aura of extreme danger and ruthlessness. The flashback Cold Open of "Angelville" is filmed in black and white.

Revenge: Tulip's main motivation throughout the first season is to find and kill a man named Carlos as payback for his betraying her and Jesse years prior. The full reveal comes in the season finale: Carlos took off with the money from a bank heist the three of them were pulling off, purely to spite Jesse and Tulip for their happiness. The icing on the cake? The stress of that betrayal caused Tulip to miscarry her and Jesse's baby.

The Omnipotent: God claims to be this, but given Tulip and Cassidy are able to kill Humperdoo and wreck his plans for the apocalypse, and the Saint of Killers is able to get the drop on him in Heaven, it's a bit of an Ambiguous Situation.

Prolonged Prologue
 Preacher (2016) / int_967fb42a
comment
Prolonged Prologue: The entire first season is essentially this, as it's spent introducing us to the characters and basic mythology, resolving the situations that the characters find themselves in at the start, before setting them off on a central Myth Arc more closely in line with the story from the comics. In an aftershow special, Seth Rogen revealed that this was deliberate, to explore in detail things about Jesse and his motivations that the comic glossed over.

Foreshadowing
 Preacher (2016) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The logo on Jesse's Ratwater whiskey bottles look suspiciously like the silhouette of the Cowboy's upper torso and is named after the town where the Cowboy went on his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. When questioned on his tattoos, Jesse states that the Jolly Roger was given to him by a "mean old lady." The same tattoo is later seen on the forearm of John Custer's murderer. Those who know the comics know this is in reference to Jesse's evil grandmother. When Jesse asks Fiore and DeBlanc how God could allow Eugene to end up in Hell just because Jesse said so, all they can offer in response is an awkward silence. This is perhaps the first implication that God has left Heaven, and presumably that couldn't have happened otherwise. When musing on the nature of Hell, Odin Quincannon says that maybe it's being forced to relive the worst moment of your life over and over again. Turns out that that is exactly what Hell is, at least for the Cowboy. Later on, it's revealed that this is a standard punishment as Eugene, Hitler, and (it's implied) everyone on their cell block is undergoing the same torment. Jesse is also subjected to this near the end of the last season.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Preacher (2016) / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires extend their fangs when they feed and can survive grievous wounds and heal them quickly, though it requires them to consume a lot of blood. They seem to be at least slightly stronger and quicker than most humans. Holy water doesn't harm them at all. They can eat, drink and use the restroom. Drugs affect them, though they seem to have more tolerance than humans and can build up a superhuman tolerance over the years. They can function during daylight hours and in indirect sunlight. In fact, it seems that just having a bit of shade over their head is enough to let them wander around in broad daylight. Direct sunlight, however, will cause their skin to burst into flame and eventually immolate them. Vampires can develop additional powers, including shape-shifting, flight, and greatly augmented strength and speed, but only if they turn lots of people into vampires.

It Gets Easier: The first time Tulip feeds a pet to Cassidy, she spends the whole day playing with it, petting it, and trying to give it one good day before it dies. A few days later, she has a house full of animals and is casually talking about which pet stores won't sell to her because they suspect something.

Room 101
 Preacher (2016) / int_a3a6fdb2
comment
Room 101: In hell, this is "the hole", where prisoners who act nice or break the rules in other ways are sent. When Eugene is sent there, it's revealed to contain a device called the Extrapolator, which twists the prisoner's original torment into something much more personally damaging. In Eugene's case, it's Tracy accepting his kiss but then revealing that she's fallen in love with someone else...namely Jesse, who comes out of the bathroom. Seeing them kiss drives Eugene to kill himself. The Extrapolator's effects can be resisted, but it works to subvert the resistance so that the punishment still happens. Eugene has to undergo several iterations of this before the backdoor in the Extrapolator room will open.

Cutting Back to Reality: Jesse Custer accidentally uses the power of Genesis to send Eugene to Hell; however, in "El Valero," he manages to call Eugene back to Earth, leaving him unharmed but desperate for a glass of water. While he drinks up, they discuss what to do with Genesis; however Eugene happens to mention something that Jesse hadn't shared with anyone else, immediately arousing the preacher's suspicion... and then we cut back to a shot of the suddenly-unoccupied pew in front in front of Jesse, where the requested glass of water is still sitting, untouched. Turns out that the rescue was just a guilt-induced hallucination. Jesus considers becoming a bank robber. He accidentally shoots someone during a heist, only to snap back to reality and realize he should probably just be on lookout.

Take That!: Cassidy complains about the film The Big Lebowski many, many times over the course of the series.

One of the neo-Nazis is wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat from Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. This is a reference to accusations of a link between the alt-right supporters of Trump's presidency and white supremacist groups.

For the Cowboy, it's reliving the last few days of his life, starting with the journey to Ratwater to get medicine for his daughter and ending with killing some kids in a school and all the occupants of the bar where the preacher hung out. The cycle is broken when DeBlanc and Fiore show up to set him after Jesse. For Eugene, it's the day he talked Tracy Loach down from killing herself, only for her to shoot herself anyway because he kissed her. He then tries to shoot himself rather than face Mrs. Loach, but the gun misfires, leading to his disfigurement. For Adolf Hitler, it involves a disastrous lunch date in which his artwork is criticized by an art dealer, he chickens out in standing up to some Communists, his girlfriend leaves him, and a Jewish man takes the last plum cake, leaving him ashamed, alone and hungry. And for Jesse, it's the night his father was murdered.

Political Overcorrectness
 Preacher (2016) / int_b6db5695
comment
Political Overcorrectness: Parodied in the first episode as part of an Establishing Character Moment for the town of Annville. A radio host references the change of Annville's mascot from "Chief Red Savage" to the more "politically correct" mascot of "Pedro the Prairie Dog," and tells listeners to give the new mascot a "West Texas hello." This consists of a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on the mascot and its apparent only supporter. The next scene has the sheriff referring to "Chief" as a "beloved cultural icon." When Jesse insists that it could be worse, he says he knows about worse; worse is a Japanese man marrying his pillow.

Soul Eating: The beginning of "Sokosha" shows a poor couple selling something, which we later find out is the man's soul, which the company then sells to rich people as cures for ailments. Later on, when Jesse gives the Saint of Killers the one percent of his soul that was extracted, the Saint promptly eats it.

Cassidy gets his revenge on Frankie Toscani by shoving a rifle up his ass, leaving his body propped up on it after pulling the trigger. While in Hell, Jesse has a tube of ants fed up his ass.

The Saint of Killers and Eugene crawl through the center of the Earth after the Saint shoots a hole through it.

 Preacher (2016) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The repeated obscene or mocking messages on the church sign in S1 are a shout-out to the Couch Gag with the hotel sign in every episode of Fawlty Towers. Cassidy hates The Big Lebowski and analyzes the relative quality of the rest of The Coen Brothers' oeuvre. (He calls Miller's Crossing a masterpiece in a later episode.) After his brawl with Fiore and DeBlanc, Cassidy grabs a chainsaw and says, "Right. Say hello...to my little friend!" Jesse likens the aftermath of the Sundowner Motel fight as "a bit like Pulp Fiction". Jesse's favorite actor is John Wayne. When DeBlanc and Fiore wait for the bus that takes them to Hell at the John B. Robert Dam, the show uses the same location and camera angles from the scene in Breaking Bad where Jesse Pinkman (and later, Walter White) waits for the vacuum cleaner repairman. Showrunner Sam Catlin was a writer/producer on Breaking Bad. Emily watches Psycho, which is implied to inspire her to take extreme and immoral action due to feeling trapped (much like Marion Crane in the film). After Emily locks Miles in the same room as Cassidy, the camera angle is similar to The Shining, when Jack Torrance talks to Grady while locked in the Overlook Hotel's pantry.

Lighter and Softer: While it's still very much a Crapsack World, it's a little less cynical and gruesome than the comics it's based on. Season 3, compared to the rest of the series. It concludes on an Earn Your Happy Ending for all the main characters except for Cassidy, who is captured by The Grail as the Season 3 Cliffhanger, in contrast to Season 2 which had a Downer Ending and Seasons 1 and 4 which have Bittersweet Endings. There's also more time dedicated to defeating Arc Villains and less time devoted to interpersonal strife between Cassidy, Tulip and Jesse.

Adaptational Wimp: Cassidy lacks the Super-Strength he has in the book, making him about a match for Jesse in a fistfight. In the comics, fighting Cassidy takes a heroic act of willpower from Jesse and no small amount of Villainous Breakdown from Cassidy to make it competitive. In the comics, the Saint of Killers is an Invincible Villain who can No-Sell a nuclear bomb. In the series, he's much less powerful and gets briefly knocked unconscious in a bus accident.

Ludicrous Gibs: Until the Word of God finds Jesse, it makes anyone it floats into explode, starting with an African priest, a Russian Satanist priest, and even Tom Cruise at a Scientology gathering! Also Bloody Hilarious, as the African priest was proclaiming his status as a prophet before detonating into a cloud of Pink Mist, and Tom Cruise exploded in front of hundreds of people - on camera! His public funeral service is a shot on a TV in a later episode. Season 3 has the Word of God enter a number of other people, with equally messy results. Due to being a vampire, Cassidy survives jumping out of a plane without a parachute, but the impact destroys the lower part of his body. It's a bloody mess of mangled flesh with his intestines as the only recognizable organs.

Grief-Induced Split: Tulip and Jesse were expecting a child together when a bank robbery job went wrong. Carlos, the third member of the job, was upset about the couple's fooling around. By releasing a security guard and escaping without the other two, he threw a stressful wrench into their plans that resulted in Tulip miscarrying. Jesse and Tulip ended up going their separate ways after that. In the present, Tulip wants Jesse to help her find and kill Carlos for the betrayal that cost them their child.

 Preacher (2016) / int_e8e56799
comment
Blue-and-Orange Morality: The main conflict of the series comes from the fact that while God gave humans free will, He does not really understand it. Jessie goes through a series of temptations and tortures meant to convince him to try to usurp God's place in Heaven but he stays faithful and refuses. God punishes him because there were a few moments where he considered accepting the offer. In God's way of thinking the only good people are fanatics like the Grail who will obey him without question or imbeciles like Humperdoo who do not understand good from evil.

Exact Words

comment
Exact Words: One of the limitations of the Word of God. After gaining the Word, Jesse commands a man who constantly yammered about his uber-controlling mother's harassment to visit his mother, and "Be Brave, Tell The Truth, and Open Your Heart." He does so by bravely hopping a plane to see her, telling her everything he's ever wanted to say about her treatment of him (which she seems completely confused about)...and cutting his chest open and pulling out his heart to show her before falling down dead. Jesse commands Odin Quincannon to "Serve God." He didn't say which God. Turns out the only God Quincannon believes in is the "God of Meat." When Eugene angers Jesse by trying to get him to take back his command for people to forgive him, Jesse yells "Go to hell, Eugene!" Cue nasty sound effects and the church program Eugene was holding fluttering to the ground. Jesse tells T.C. that he's not mad at him enough to shoot him. Then he commands him to shoot himself.

comment
Groin Attack: Tulip stomps down on one of her attackers during her Establishing Character Moment. Cassidy kicks Fiore in the nuts during the chainsaw fight scene. Later on, the Seraphim punches him in the groin. When one of Quincannon's men tries to rush the church with a musket, Jesse shoots his junk off. In the first episode of the second season, Jesse orders a cop to Mace himself in the groin. He sprays for several seconds, in visible agony the entire time. During the first half of the fourth season, Cassidy is held prisoner by the Grail. While their prisoner, he is used as the subject of an advanced torture class with an experienced Italian mob torturer as the teacher. Said torture involves taking advantage of his Healing Factor to circumcise him repeatedly and harvest his foreskins for various purposes. Halfway through the fourth season, Herr Starr is forced to admit to God that he has lost custody of Humperdoo while in Australia. God punishes Starr by compelling a dingo to bite off the whole package.

Spotting the Thread: Jesse's first real clue that the being who appears before the congregation isn't God is that at one point he picks his nose. The masquerade quickly starts falling apart when Jesse calls him on it. Jesse realizes he went to Hell, not Heaven, when Fiore praises Jesse for forgiving his friends. Jesse hadn't. Jesse realizes he is still in Hell after the Saint of Killers apparently rescues him: the Saint is talking too much and has a horse rather than traveling on foot.

Season 3, compared to the rest of the series. It concludes on an Earn Your Happy Ending for all the main characters except for Cassidy, who is captured by The Grail as the Season 3 Cliffhanger, in contrast to Season 2 which had a Downer Ending and Seasons 1 and 4 which have Bittersweet Endings. There's also more time dedicated to defeating Arc Villains and less time devoted to interpersonal strife between Cassidy, Tulip and Jesse.

Running Gag
 Preacher (2016) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: In the first season, someone keeps changing the All-Saints Congregational sign in Annville to say joking, sarcastic, and/or obscene spins on the original message. People griping at Cassidy to fix the church's air-conditioning. Fiore and DeBlanc handing over their whole wallets when they need to give someone money. At least once a season, Cassidy finds a way to bring up how much he hates The Big Lebowski, often comparing it to other Coen Brothers movies he likes better. Starting in the second season, Cassidy shares many conspiracy-style theories about a surprisingly wide variety of things that could be made from the foreskins of circumcised babies. Culminates in the fourth season, when a gangster tortures Cassidy by exploiting his healing factor to circumcise him numerous times in a row... and hands the bag of removed foreskins to a doctor who uses the skin to reconstruct Starr's severed ear. In season 3, Herr Starr dons a wide range of hats to hide the scar that makes his head look like a penis. He sometimes changes hats between scenes. Eventually Jesse uses the Word to stop him from wearing hats to cover it up.
