I hate that John's own show never really got the chance to truly take off because it was exactly what a show with Constantine should be, dark, gritty, violent as hell, and full of moral ambiguity. It's great that Matt Ryan got a second chance to portray the character in Legends because he is honestly the only one I can think of for the role, but dear god is it doing the character a gross misjustice.
In my opinion, DC Universe have too many series. It is saturated. Better apply MCU strategy: interchangable series between main characters. Each series could has its own theme: action / gritty / drama / comedy, etc. But it less bored for the fans.
Matt Ryan is John Constantine. He is literally obsessed with playing this character now. He even voices his character in animation and he is perfect for the role in every way.
Matt Ryan as John Constantine is the definition of perfect casting. I don’t know if anyone will ever top his Constantine. If only he’d gotten a big budget show with no network restrictions he would have thrived for years to come as he is so perfect as John.
i mean. regardless of where it is it needs viewership and unfortunately died there. in fact it was because it didn't have the same network restrictions being on NBC rather than a more appropriate network that it failed.
The fact that Matt Ryan also plays Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed 4 makes moments like these better. Cause you can see John Constantine in Edward and Edward in John.
This series made Constantine one of my favorite DC characters. Keanu as much as I love him, just can't hold a candle to Matt's portrayal of Constantine. Series>Film, The same can be said for Stargate.
I absolutely LOVE how Matt Ryan also acted out Constantine's spellcasting! It's a small thing but just him slapping his hands together and twist out the pentagrams while getting that "I gotta drop a deuce" face really made me love his interpretation of the character more then what Keanu did in the film (although I still LOVE Keanu)
Dang, that evil unicorn is fantastic! It’s literally like something out of my nightmares, so weird to see the bugger on screen. Must say I’d have frozen up and shit my pants in fear too.
I'm here because I just found out that the guy who plays Constantine is the same guy who voiced Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed Black Flag and I wanted to see him speak and see if I could hear it. Yup, that's definitely Edward Kenway.
Why did the guy in the Buddy Holly glasses just stand there while the cursed unicorn is getting attacked? Some people have the survival instincts of a mud puddle.
Matt Ryan is a great actor. I loved both his live action and animated portrayals of John Constantine. And they were both well-written as well. But boy, I cannot get over his outfit. It never looked accurate. In my mind, Constantine's clothes are EXTREMELY lived in, a bit wrinkled, VERY relaxed, maybe a bit dirty, faded, or a bit stained. This version of him always looks like someone cosplaying John Constantine. Doing a great job of cosplaying him, if we were at a con, I'd give him applause. But the costume designer somehow took an outfit that is not supposed to look special and made it look fancy. And that bugs me.
@@FlamesAndShadowsman that would be epic, dresden files needs another show as well, idk how somme really crappy shows get several seasons but these characters get screwed, it's nuts.
I am watching the series again in 2024. Is it me or is there a touch of Dr Strange in John's spell casting? I think that this came first but I might be wrong. It's a n outstanding series and Matt Ryan is sublime.
The continuity folks must have been having a bad day whenever the second clip was filmed. Goes from having a bloody lip at 2:14 to clean faced at 2:16.
Constantine man I watched his spin off series it was good really good shame it got cancelled loved the movie such a good character anti hero but powerful not meny in the DCU can match him for magic
I never got to watch this when it was fresh, but this is John Constantine. I mean, the special affects are not great, I see a lot of Supernatural type of repeat patters, but still it looks fun. I'll have to make some time for it.
The costuming is great and awful at the same time. He looks exactly like his comic counter part, but... wrong? That tie doesn't look like he did it at 9am but throughout a hard day he's let it go loose. It looks like someone precisely did the tie to look that way. His trench coat doesn't remind me of a hardened detective, it looks like something my exgirlfriend would wear to dinner. His hair doesn't conjure avid blond punk vibes, it makes him look like he's on a professional ice skating team.
Yo wouldnt it be great if matt ryan came in as this universes constantine for a fun cameo role in the keanu reeves constantine movie?? Like he shows up the last 1/4 of the movie and helps out with some big spell or whatever. That would be dope.... i would be all for that
I mean they could not let him eat the real thing, could they? Put the joke aside, they need to put out harmless stuff here bcs people otherwise wanna find the real thing and eat it.
Fun y how the best moment of this video came from Constantine's own show on NBC ane not the crap they had him do on the Arrowverse, which watered doen his charavter and didnt even reference the NBC show. No Chas, Zed, Papa Midnite or Manny ever appeared
She would like him, she hates horses too much. 😜 I AM NOT MARRIGED. Likes strong actors, we are alive: René Halle could be his upgrown son, he works. Don't be scared.
