Haven’t even watched it yet but had to comment I’m so happy to start my Sunday morning with a coffee and some Strange Brain Parts!
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you.
Slaughterhouse five is one of those life changing novels I read as a kid, and the influence on Alan Moore is unmistakable.
Indeed! If you read it at a certain point in your life (that point differs for every individual) it can be a revelation.
@@StrangeBrainParts You sound like Phil Williams, one of the reporters on the local news channels here
You get this book at the right age, your brain chemistry gets changed.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!Loved it. It truly is a wonderful version of the original.Thank you so much for doing this piece, after watching just a little, I got the book.
My father introduced me to Slaughterhouse 5 when I was around 13. The movie, first, and the book came later. I would be interested in the graphic novel adaptation. The Story has certainly left a mark. Cheers for your first video since the hiatus. Thank, you!
Awesome bro
No! You're the awesome one.
@@StrangeBrainParts no you
Oh yeah? Well...no, it's you.
@@StrangeBrainParts no you!
Glad to see you back!
So excited to see you back at it. Slaughterhouse five was one of the most interesting novels we read in high school and I had no idea that there was a graphic novel. Excellent video as always.
Read the novel to Slaughterhouse-Five a few years back. I still consider it one of my favorite novels of all time. So happy to see it has a graphic novel adaptation.
So I'll be pleased to read the line "So it goes" again when I can manage to pick up the graphic novel.
Slaughterhouse 5 was the first novel I read that reminded me of something important. Just because the Allies were "the good guys", just because the Nazis were evil and needed to be stopped, did not spare the innocents trapped behind their lines of the unconscionable sins of war.
Welcome back with a great reintroduction and immersion into your subject's context.
I read the novel 44 years ago as a college freshman and wrote an essay about why this book *shouldn't* have been censored. My fellow students showed *zero enthusiasm* after I read it in my English class! If only they knew...
I read it around the same time as you, also Clockwork Orange. I'll have to read S5 again then see the movie again. 42 years later.
Well done! And great to hear from you again!
Fantastic video. I just finished the graphic novel and I’m so glad I found your channel.
Missed your videos man. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! I will continue to do my best.
Excellent as always. Wasn’t aware this had been adapted. Will have to track it down.
It was adapted about two years ago and I somewhat avoided it because I was too familiar with the novel. But...I had to give a read and review on its own merits.
Ahh, there’s that beautiful voice I adore 🥰 thank you for another lovely video
And thank you for watching. Or listening, whatever the case may be.
@@StrangeBrainParts Thank you, Sir! 😊
yaaaay. He's back!
Wow, I'll have to check this out! I love Vonnegut, didn't know this adaptation even existed.
Incidentally, have you seen the new Grendel Omnibus? The print quality is excellent and it's a wonderful, mostly complete collection of Hunter Rose stories with some sweet new material at the end. Good price too!
Oh! I did not know there was a new omnibus available. Well, once I get all the software I need I suppose I'll be saving for that. Thanks for letting me know.
Babe, wake up!
New Overlord Comics video!
Let them sleep. The video is going to be around for a while. :)
I actually never thought of Billy Pilgrim as delusional. His surreal experiences are just as random and outside his control as his experiences at war and I always took it at face value. It has been a while though.
So hands down Slaughterhouse Five is one
of the greatest novels of the 20th century the cataclysm of the Dresden fire bombing so late in the war no hard military targets all German civilians and POWs and the annihilation of the “Florence on the Elbe “. PTWEEAT!!!!🐥🦉 I can’t bear reliving that harrowing novel experience Vonnegut lived
it I never want to see it again . 💀
Great surprise before going into work.
Looks interesting. I'll make a note of it
On a similar level, I would think some of Phillip K. Dick's novels, like VALIS or UBIK would also be very difficult (though not impossible) to adapt to any visual medium.
Great review of a brilliant book
I could talk about it for a significant amount of time.
Dammit, looks like I'm buying another graphic novel.
My apologies to your wallet.
...In an unstuck universe
This was my first Vonnegut. Had no idea there was a GN of it
Slaughter House V is one of those books which adapted to other mediums just doesn’t work for me: what I took from the book is a very clear and horrific image of Dresden in ruins and a scary portrait of pts: the absurdity of the aliens when presented in the movie, and the cartoon style of this gn just doesn’t work for me. Maybe a Kurtzman or Sacco could have been more proper for this material.
Recommendation: a great adaptation, the kind that is both respectful to the source but also becomes it’s own thing: City of Glass.
That's absolutely fair, to be honest. I resisted this adaptation for a while for, well, basically the reasons you mentioned. But I tried to look at its merits as a translation. The source is always going to be the best version. Always.
I've read City Of Glass and agree with you. It's something I should dig out and go through again.
Such a great adaptation!
Nice new video
Your videos are amazing do you have a pateron?
Thank you! I do not have a Pattern, but you can always donate through the Thanks button right under the video, if you wish to contribute.
I read the book. It was good.
I missed u
*…and so it goes.*
This is the kind of pretentious drivel I find utterly boring. Nothing against people who dig it. Just not my kind of storytelling.
What sorts of books do you like?
