  • Exorcist, Demonologist, Master of the Dark Arts… and definitely not the kind of magician you’d hire for your kid’s birthday party. Welcome to www.WatchMojo.com and today we’re exploring the comic book origins of John Constantine, aka The Hellblazer; not only a working class magician and con man but also a detective who specializes in the occult.

      @@rommelgonzalez2730 admittedly haven’t seen them all, but from the ones I have, tonality seems a bit off, and changes to established arcs like the Hush ending were fucking stupid.
      Marvel made Civil war, and made changes that made sense within that universe. DC are using pre established storylines with their correct names, then changing just enough to still have some sense of “whodunnit” for people who’ve read the original. You’re not creating new fans then, you’re simply rehashing with no stakes for the pre-existing ones.

      To add even more problems, the show couldn't dwell as much as it wanted to in the gore, the trash and the punk, he wasn't even allowed to smoke on screen, despite being one very important trait of his design and personality.
      In the end, he pulled out a valiant effort but fell nonetheless.

      Thanos Becomes Darkseid yes I know he is an anti-hero. Hence the “hero” comment. Taking things out of context. Also Garth Ennis was not the man to create Constantine, that was Alan Moore in issue 37 of Swamp Thing. Don’t try educating someone who has read the full Hellblazer comics (even the modern ones) and who is also a collector of comics Garth Ennis has written. He has written some superhero genre stuff and not just anti-hero’s. I mean I prefer his non D.C. and Marvel writings.

    • @ImperialAgent

Marvel is great but they aren't as good at making their non powered characters relevant when iron man Thor, The hulk, and The vision are around, the movies do a better job than the comics do for goodness sakes its actually pretty amazing. The tv Shows that are animated do the best job of showing the relevance of the non superpowered guys even amongst them, And since Batman is literally the number 1 best selling hero comic of all time (even above superman, to my own surprise) DC does the best it can to do lots of animation, as batman proves himself not simply worthwhile within a pantheon of Gods, but superior he has at this point taken down the justice league twice. And the second time they weren't "slowed because they were under mind control" it was literally superman going nuts and abusing his power and just killing anyone who didn't agree...(the injustice gods among us game was based off this series)

      Not sure how I would feel about that. Legends is all about a bunch of washed up D-list superheroes, Constantine is B-list at worst. He's also had a movie and his own series. Also hus usual enemies and adventures would make him feel out of place on that team

    Constantine was one of the best series I watched when it came out. Even surpassing Game of Thrones in my opinion.
    Let's also not forget that Constantine is also in DC Universe Online.
    For the whole Keanu-Constantine, it wouldn't be wrong to consider it an alternate reality considering all the multiple ones that exists in the DC Universe.
    Especially considering that Keanu-Constantine is significantly more violent as opposed to sheer cunning that the TV-series Constantine is.

      They both want to save everybody but are unable to, they both had to make personal sacrifice to save the day, and often they had to sacrifice others (cue to the Tenth who outright admit manipulating people into dying for him).
      The main difference is that Constantine is a hardcore believer in the self determination of the humans, while the Doctor "Heal" whatever he comes across, effectively intervening in other's affairs.
      Also, Constantine makes no apology for his action, and shows how it ruins him physically and mentally, while the Doctor usually hides it behind a childish attitude.

    As much as I love the fact that he's on Legends now, he doesn't really fit the cheesy and fun tone of the show. He fits a dark and somewhat scary tone of a show much like his cancelled solo show. And Matt Ryan does a terrific job at portraying Constantine. His Constantine feels like it jumped straight outta the comic book!
