Some stories go so deep into the human conscience that it scares many from facing their demons. Think of it. Corruption, pollution, mad science, crimes against humanity and nature as a whole. That's a lot for the mind to comprehend, especially all at once.
This is old and probably won't be seen. BUT, this costume is next level. It looks so damn good, the eyes, the nose piece, you can almost feel the swampy texture just by looking at him
Right they pick the wrong cast to play The Phantom stranger. Why added someone who doesn't look like the Phantom stranger is beyond me. They are so cheap and lame to pick this dude to be PS. Not judging this guy but it's like if we going to add superman on the show or any movie & they pick someone who is to damn skinny and short to play Superman, everyone would be so upset and piss- off if their did something like that.
@@Pioneer5118 initially it was the Phantom Stranger but now i know the CW plan is introduced a black version of Lex Luthor of another earth. Onestly i don't belive in this Luthor new costume, but i really sospecte is a deviant solution
I would trade Titan and Batwoman for 3 seasons of Swamp Thing, as was originally planned. Such a shame, this is arguably the best live action portrayal of a comic book character ever.
@@SakuraiHikari15 Yeah but current continuity is built upon New 52s backstory. He's currently Judas especially when you take into account the necklace of Silver Coins he possesses. He needs to perform the same number of good deeds to the amount of Silver coins he betrayed Jesus for which doesn't seem to hard considering the amount, but God made it so The Stranger couldn't interfere directly with mortal affairs making this task way harder to accomplish
@@FerretJohn If you want, you could check out the imaginary axis' video on him. Though it's not confirmed, he has some fun thoughts on his origin that you might like
This would be an excellent movie for any film writer who took up the challenge because many fans have wanted to see Swamp Thing in the movies of the DC Universe for a very long time
Swamp Thing, Blue Devil, Phantom Stranger, Madame Xanadu, and Floronic Man. They could have used this to start their own tv universe, like the Arrowverse but more skewed toward horror. Then they had to go and cancel it.
I was shock and so sad when it happen the DC television show that is set in an alternate universe that is part of the Multiverse within the DCCU (Arrowverse) "Swamp Thing" was cancelled a year ago, but now CW has acquired the show and there's still hope that the 2019 Swamp Thing DC television series can be revive for season 2.
Ikr? They keep rebooting that poopy Batwoman show that nobody cares about except for the money-hungry sleazy "critics" and cancel this hidden gem. Smh 🤦
when I saw the thumbnail I was like imagine if the fat dude was the phantom stranger.... and he is. Certainly a more interesting portrayal of the character.
lol I saw that scene and never realised this was the Phantom Stranger. back then. I get what they were trying to do but Phantom Stranger in the comics has such a great look, you cannot mess with that. Long black cloak and boiler hat, white eyes.
one of the powerful in DC... over power but sad thing is he can't interfere!!! his job is to maintain cosmic order!!!! and just guided the mankind.. reason his job is very hard to accomplish....
If there had been an episode of Arrow in which the emerald archer and his team gets to meet the Phantom Stranger as he comes to Star City on an important mission, it would've been good to see how the Green Arrow feels about him and his magic.
Happy 1st Birthday Swamp Thing, the DC television show that is set in an alternate universe that is part of the Multiverse within the DCCU (Arrowverse) 🎂.
It would be good to see the Phantom Stranger appear on Superman & Lois and also The Flash in a crossover in which he asks for their help or they ask for his help.
Suit looks amazing but I wonder if it would help the audiences more if it was CGI cuz this real practical suit although looking very spot on to the comics, just gives off that late 70’s early 80’s rubber suit vibe
*Dude no. Wtf. Lmao. Practical effects > CGI. CGI is garbage, it always looks phony. Practical effects are literally always better. Obviously you need to use CGI at times when a practical effect wouldn't be worthwhile, or with practical effects. You remember the green lantern movie? Remember how stupid his all CGI suit looked? Yeah. So stfu, you are stupid and your opinion is wrong. That is all*
alex toll I never said CGI is better than practical. In THIS case the practical suit while I say looks accurate and good, just looks off so a CGI version may be better as we have the technology for it. Green Lantern? Over a decade ago jackass. Do you watch anything recent? Thanos. All CGI. Hulk. All CGI. Basically any large monster like characters. All CGI. Why do you think they use CGI instead of practical for them? Because they look better and can achieve more human like traits via CGI instead of using a stiff hard to maneuver rubber suit. So no my opinion isn’t stupid and is a valid question for debate. Just like Baby Yoda they could easily use practical while enhancing with touches of CGI. So you are the stupid one since you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about and probably have zero experience in filmmaking in the first place so why don’t you go fuck yourself.
I hate all or nothing comments like that. Just as a couple good examples of cgi costumes, General Zod’s armor in Man of Steel. Hell, Nam-Ek (the tall Kryptonian that fights Superman in Smallville) is completely CGI.
Peter P21 ya he’s probably just a kid that doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I clearly said that the practical is amazing but just looks off as I think the character design needs CGI to make it seem more alive with moving vines and what not. CGI suits are a mainstay in the genre too especially in the MCU where CGI is the reason why the suit looks real otherwise a practical one would just fail to be believable.
The put one of DCs most powerful beings in the show, and could’ve lead to bringing in one of the other most powerful beings: The Spectre, and still cancelled this show?!

...absolute tragedy.
@@arnavbhattacharjee2035 😂😂 its true😅
YUP. Just like how they had leads to the SPECTRE and still canceled Constantine.
Absolute headass.
It was cancelled because they lost some deal, i think it was a tax break, and it made the show cost too much for a smallish streaming service.

In Superman and Lois series and will be interpretate by an afro-american actor

Picked up now on cw

I did not know that there was a series! In the 80s, Swamp Thing was one of the best comics being published.
If they actually make the phantom stranger look like the way he do in the comic books that will be nice
Swamp Thing is one of my favorites
A new Swamp Thing movie coming... lessgoo

This probably wasn’t even his final form.
This was such a good show
This show did not get the chance it deserved. Even if the guy doesn't look anything like the Phantom Stranger.
WHAT A SHOW MANNN. I CRIED SO MUCH WATCHING SOME SCENES
I freaking love this show, why did it get cancelled and not batwoman like bruh this is amazing
They had the Spector on Constantine
I'm not trying to knock Macon Blair's performance, but imagine if they had managed to convince Alan Moore to play the Phantom Stranger.
The swamp thing and the stranger's interactions are exactly like john marston and the strange man
Great looking swamp thing!
All the budget went to swamp things design I see
Dang, i need to watch this show
I still miss this show😞
I thought he was The Presence
He did mention that he is the “Stranger” and a “Phantom”
Ahh .. thanks for the info
one of the powerful in DC... over power but sad thing is he can't interfere!!! his job is to maintain cosmic order!!!! and just guided the mankind.. reason his job is very hard to accomplish....
Phantom guy and studio guy is same entity. The presence!! Dc god equivalent to marvels one above all..
@@lalaplaysrmg998 No, he is the Phantom Stranger, both this guy and the studio guy. This is not the presence.
It's time to put Swamp Thing in the DC Universe movie
We were finally starting to get into the extended Dark/Vertigo universe they even had Blue Devil wtf I'm so mad 😭
Anyone think that the phantom stranger is either the spirit of tge green or the previous swamp things spirit
Nope. Read the comic u fool
He's Judas Iscariot
he is Judas dude!!! one of apostle of Jesus!
@@jpf7942 actually no...his story varies...
phantom stranger is actually isaac..
3 minutes of my life i'll never get back...
The fact that this show was cancelled is a fucking crime.
Canceling this after one season while giving Batwoman three seasons just about sums up the state of DCs live adaptations atm.
How did i miss this ..
Wait that guy talking to Swamp thing was the Phantom Stranger!?!?!?!
Bruh… why is the phantom stranger some guy w a goatee
I know accuracy isn’t everything but surely a fedora and cloak aren’t hard to come by
I had no idea they had this show i love the first swamp thing movie
Any chance for the Phantom Stranger to be seen on any of the shows in the DC Universe that are spin-offs of Arrow?
Nice
If there had been an episode of Arrow in which the emerald archer and his team gets to meet the Phantom Stranger as he comes to Star City on an important mission, it would've been good to see how the Green Arrow feels about him and his magic.
I like to think that was Abel from House of Secrets instead of Phantom Stranger. Of course the Phantom Stranger can look like anybody if he needs to.
Damn it this show was good, great writing, great story. 4kkkkkkk U DC
Really should bring this back
The Phantom Stranger looks better without a beard.
that Guy is the Phantom Stranger?
Yes
What a flop, ikr
@@ShatteredPlainsTransverser who said it was a flop, huh.
Eh. Doesn't fit the bill for me, but great concept.

This show was better then titans and possibly better then doom patrol. I'll die by that statement
Imagine what Anton Arcane wouldve looked like.
The Green Will Not DIE!!!!
Holy moly there were way too many cuts in the first minute of this clip that I felt sick
“Phantom from the Dream” you say
Never mess with the Green
Phantom Stranger should've looked cooler, wtf was that shit.
Swamp Thing. The Plant Hulk of Nature.
I didnt even know this was phantom stranger
I can't believe they also got Adrienne Barbeau back in Swamp Thing!!!! Alice Cable from the 1982 Wes Craven movie!!!!!!
I was think this series have only one episode
Nice grammar 👌
Last WARNING!!!
Where is the scene where he pulls up?
It would be good to see the Phantom Stranger appear on Superman & Lois and also The Flash in a crossover in which he asks for their help or they ask for his help.
Where can I stream this? HBO Max?
what is the deal with the guy that's trapped in the town and can't leave? just started watching the series and little confused about that one, thanks!
2:03 ...He means Arcane. Dr. Anton Arcane, Abby's stepfather.
The had the opportunity to use phantom stranger in a show and they put in one nobody watched, not once in the cw either
The hobo stranger
I would have liked Stranger in his classic look but they're in a swamp so this version will do.
The warning is from Parliament Of Stones and Trees right? Do the Floronic Man, Blight, Sethe, Upsidedown man exist in the multiverse?
DC was like; “this is too good, let’s cancel it, and do more mediocre flash episodes”.
dude wait til you eat the fruit
Show: Swamp thing
UA-cam: ah yes Game of Thrones
funny mike
WHY DID THEY CANCEL THIS GOD DAMMIT
What Movie Is This Please Tell Me Please
The 2019 isn't about the Swamp Thing that's for sure
Man, I wished they'd have dressed him in his cloak and hat....
So why did they canceled Swamp Thing again?
We need a man to play the magical skinny dude in good suite... oh here some bum .. perfect
