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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

@StrangeBrainParts Жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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.

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.

This was my first Vonnegut. Had no idea there was a GN of it

@luciferfernandez7094 Жыл бұрын

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.

@StrangeBrainParts Жыл бұрын

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.

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 . 💀
