「Swamp Thing 」鑑賞

Kingink アメコミ・海外テレビ番組

またちょっとVPNをゴニョゴニョして、DCコミックス（失礼、「DCエンターテイメント」ですな）の映像配信サービス「DC UNIVERSE」に加入してみたのであります。正直なところ価格の割にはラインナップは乏しいし、コミックの読み放題サービスもちょっと使い勝手が悪いような気がしますが、「タイタンズ」「DOOM PATROL」（まだ観てない）に続く第３のオリジナルシリーズとなるこれを視聴してみたら意外と面白いのでございます。

原作は植物と人間が融合したモンスターヒーローのスワンプシングを主人公にした一連のコミックで、かつてはウェス・クレイブンが「怪人スワンプシング」として映画化しているほか、TVシリーズ、さらにはアニメシリーズなども作られており、実はよく映像化されているキャラクターだったりする。

原案はレン・ウェインとバーニー・ライトソンというアメコミ界でも屈指のクリエイターたちだが、コミックが本当に有名になったのはアラン・ムーア御大が80年代初頭にライターに就いたときで、初っ端から「スワンプシングは人間と融合した植物ではなく、人間の記憶を持った植物な」と従来の設定をひっくり返し、それ以降はイギリスの魔術師ジョン・コンスタンティンが登場したり、世界の植物界を統治するパーラメント・オブ・ツリーズが出てきたり、さらにはスワンプシングが宇宙での冒険を繰り広げたりと、それはもう革新的なストーリーを繰り広げていたのであります。このコミックによってイギリスのライターたちがアメリカで活躍する機会が広がり、のちのヴァーティゴの立ち上げにつながったのは間違いないだろう。

んでこのTVシリーズのほうですが、賢明にもムーア御大のプロットは殆ど使わず、プロデューサーのジェームズ・ワンの映画を彷彿させるような、サザン・ゴシックのホラー作品に仕上がっている。

舞台は湿地帯に面したルイジアナの町マレー。そこでは植物に関連した謎の疫病が蔓延し、人々が病院に担ぎ込まれていた。マレー出身の医師であるアビー・アーケインは、疫病の原因を突き止めるために数年ぶりに故郷に戻り、そこでエキセントリックな植物学者のアレック・ホーランドと出会う。何者かが湿地に投棄している植物活性剤が疫病に関連していることを疑ったアレックは単身湿地に乗り込むが、何者かに撃たれて沼に沈んでしまう。そこで彼の体は活性剤と交わり、アレックはスワンプシングとして蘇るのだった…というあらすじ。

ただし話の主人公はあくまでもアビーであって、アレックことスワンプシングの登場はかなり抑えられている。アビーは過去に何らかの理由でマレーを離れており、いったい何があったのか？が徐々に明かされていくほか、湿地に関わる町の有力者の陰謀、さらには幽霊が出てきたりと、いろんな謎が絡み合っているのだが決して詰め込んだプロットにはならず、次はどうなるんだろうと思わせる内容になっている。

登場人物も多彩で、マット・ケーブルやジェイソン・ウッドリューといった原作でもお馴染みのキャラクターに加え、マダム・ザナドゥやファントム・ストレンジャーといった他のコミックのキャラクターも登場。かなりマイナーなブルー・デビル（の中の人）までもが登場したのは驚きました。アビーの叔父でスワンシングの宿敵であるアントン・アーケインが出てこないのが意外だが、いずれ登場するのかな。

役者はアビーを演じるのが「ゴッサム」のクリスタル・リード。有名どころでは有力者の妻をヴァージニア・マドセンが演じていたり、ジェニファー・ビールスとかが出演しています。「スター・トレック：ヴォイジャー」のティム・ラスもチョイ役で出ていたな。

製作ではゴタゴタがあったみたいで、当初１シーズン13話の予定が10話になり、さらに税金免除の見込みが間違ってた（正確な理由は不明）とかで開始直後に１シーズンでの打ち切りが決定されるなど不遇な目に遭っている。DCコミックスの虎の子作品「サンドマン」はNETFLIXに行ってしまったし、「DC UNIVERSE」自体がなんか不調なのでは？という声も出ているけど、数話みた限りではこの「SWAMP THING」かなり面白いので、今後も頑張ってDCコミックスの映像化に挑んで欲しいところです。

  25. Circular slots may enable resonances to build up between the diaphragm and the section plug-resonances which trigger wave cancellations and a corresponding reduction in frequency response on the resonance
    frequency. Because of the velocity of wave propagation via the diaphragm
    material, the middle of the diaphragm moves barely later than the perimeter.
    Sato, G., In memory of Dr. James R. Wait IEEE Antennas & Propagation Society, IEEE.
    James R. Wait, Technique of geophysical exploration, U.S.
    Based on their joint research, the 2 engineers have been awarded consecutive U.S.
    Many variations exist in phase plug design, however
    two types have evolved to match two main diaphragm varieties:
    dome and ring. The part plug extends high frequency response as a result of it guides
    waves outward toward the listener relatively than permitting them to
    work together destructively close to the driver. The radial design is
    less complicated to provide, but it surely does not differentiate between sound waves from the perimeter of the diaphragm and sound waves from the center.

    In horn loudspeakers, the section plug serves to carry sound waves out from all areas of the compression driver diaphragm by means of the compression chamber to
    the horn throat such that every pulse of sound reaches
    the throat as one coherent wave entrance.

  44. GTA Online? yet the game slows down when you use the weapon wheel and your radar has the special ability bar. So the question is, how did you get your online character in single player? There is a weird glitch where I got killed by some douchebag when entering my garage. It spawned me outside my garage, and for like 30 seconds my character operated as if she was inside her apartment. So I couldn’t run, equip a weapon, or anything like that.

Sometimes when joining leaving GTA Online, the game glitches. It sends you to single player with your multiplayer character but you cant do much at all. This is apparent in the video by the special bar by the armor bar and the slow motion weapon wheel.

    “Amazing game I’m a big Cartoon Network fan this is the best.” What do you think about Cartoon Network GameBox? Do you recommend it? Why? Cartoon Network is now figuring out that, for shows as good as the ones in its roster, it’s only natural to make sure every part of the property is up to snuff. And after some trial and error, games like Steven Universe’s and OK K.O.’s console debuts are encouraging signs that at least one TV channel has figured out how to make its games as good as their shows. No stage is like another, because they are all unique to the character they represent. Do your best to unlock all the characters and try all of the 50 mini-games prepared for you! The challenges range from throwing punches to keeping your friend balanced or even avoiding obstacles. Still, there are many other missions in store for you!

  47. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running
    off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet
    browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let
    you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Kudos
