Gods and Losers
Jun. 10th, 2010 05:59 pmI forgot to tell you about my Tarticles this week!
People seem to be getting over the idea that the source material for adaptations is always better. If this is a fact (and goes beyond an impression I've formed from anecdotal evidence), then it seems that 40 years of media studies has finally filtered through to the general public, and/or that people's experience of stories in different platforms (comic-movie-animation-video game or whatever order) has changed people's attitude toward the presentation and reading of narratives. In that spirit, I found that changes to the Vertigo Comics series The Losers made the story different in very interesting ways:

In Supernatural Talk, we took on SPN 5.19: Hammer of the Gods. The show was really ambitious with this, and left us with a lot of questions.
