The Western Holy See has always been quite perverted, and it did a lot of dirty things in the Middle Ages, and the American drama I bring to you today is related to religion, but it is not about how to preach, but a large-scale American drama of a fantasy nature, it is-
"The Missionary"
The protagonist is a god stick, relying on his superpowers to "preach", and he has gained a lot of confidants along the way, and the degree of "yellow violence" is still considerable, and friends who like fantasy and color scenes should not miss it.
Okay, without further ado, let's get started.
Synopsis
Based on the comics by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, the show is about a missionary named Jesse Custer who has superpowers and can make people do whatever they say (enviable).
He and his ex-girlfriend Tulip, as well as the vampire Cassidy, have experienced a lot of wonderful and bizarre things together.
The story begins in a small town in Texas, where Jesse is involved in a series of supernatural events because of the superpower of the "Voice of Command" (which sounds awesome, but it's also full of dangers).
Tulip, Jesse's ex-girlfriend, is a hot-tempered girl who specializes in "proselytizing" with guns and explosives.
Her relationship with Jesse is quite complicated, sometimes sweet and greasy, sometimes distressing.
Every time she appears, she is quite shocking, either with a gun or with an explosion.
Cassidy, an Irish vampire, acts as a "laugh maker" in the show.
He has lived for hundreds of years and has seen a lot of the dark side of human nature, so he sees the world quite pessimistically, with a little humor at the same time.
His relationship with Jesse and Tulip is quite complicated, sometimes they are friends, sometimes they are chaotic, and their interaction is quite funny.
The show is not only about the adventures of the three of them, but also talks in depth about the topics of faith, redemption and revenge.
There is a lot of satire on religion and social morality in the play, and it seems that the West itself feels that its Holy See is quite ridiculous, so it is conveyed through film and television entertainment.
Visually, the director and team have put a lot of effort into making the style of the comics well restored in the play.
Each shot has a dark aesthetic feel, with high-contrast colors and exaggerated light and shadow effects, making the whole show look like a living comic.
As the plot progresses, the three of them begin to explore the source of that mysterious power, encountering a complex world of religious leaders, angels, demons, and various supernatural creatures.
There are proclamations of the universe in it, as well as the prophecy of the end of the world, and the plot is quite rich and attractive, at least not boring.
Not only the plot, but also the "Yellow Storm"
In this drama, the scene of "Yellow Storm" is part of its style, which can be said to be essential, otherwise there will be a lot less to watch.
For example, Cassidy, the vampire "brother", adds a lot of adult color to the play.
His immortal life allowed him to experience countless pleasures and indulgences, and these experiences are also shown in the play.
In some scenes, Cassidy indulges in various parties, sharing carnal pleasures with all kinds of people, etc., and is full of alcohol and drugs, which makes people blush.
In addition, there are some dark elements with a bit of excitement and horror, such as the vivid depiction of the punishment in hell.
One of the scenes shows a sinner repeating his sins in hell, and the scene is really bloody, but it looks quite refreshing, and I believe it will satisfy your expectations for fantasy dramas.
Not much else, but this depiction of extreme violence and sexual content appropriately reflects the supernatural and religious themes of the play.
THESE ENDS
Jesse's journey is not just physical, it's spiritual.
He has to control his superpower and keep it from being abused, while also finding a way to redeem himself.
His inner struggles, as well as conflicts with fate and free will, are at the heart of the play.
The play also constantly reveals the stories of angels and demons, these characters are not good guys and bad guys in the traditional sense, they have their own emotions and motivations, breaking the routine of traditional religious stories.
In general, although the drama "Missionary" may be a bit wild, a little absurd, and a little big in scale, these are exactly its charms, and friends who like these can watch it.
