The world is so bad, there are piles of messy things, but I'm not afraid of troubles.
Constantine, famous, once Keanu Reeves was still booming, he played "Detective of Hell" I don't know how many girls' hearts were raised.
In the American comics world, his nickname is even more famous than the handsome smoking man in the movie-"Scumbag Kang".
How scumbag, scumbag, today an animated movie tells you the truth.

My scum
Just because the opponent is strong and scumbag
This version of the animation itself is based on the original series, which is equivalent to the integrated version (each episode is about 6 minutes, a total of 5 episodes).
The story is very simple. The devil kidnapped the soul of Zha Kang's friend's daughter and forced Zha Kang to do something for it-destroy other demons in the same city.
For the city, for the sake of his friend's daughter, Zha Kang had to follow (but how can our protagonist easily obey).
But for the sake of drama and more excitement, the movie adjusts the enemy.
The big Boss in the film is the man behind Zha Kang who was frustrated in his life after using magic for the first time-Negar.
In the original comics, it took away the girl Zha Kang was trying to save in the "Newcastle Incident", cursed his friends, and gave Zha Kang a two-year sentence in a mental hospital.
In the animation, this scene is reproduced and adapted.
As for the two ruthless men in the original book, Berul became the disguised identity (and skin) of Negal; Miktranti Kutri became Zha Kang's "demon thugs".
This design is naturally also to highlight the power of Negal (after all, it is the Boss that did not win). But being strong is only one aspect, and the other is insidious.
It imprisoned the soul of Zakang's friend's daughter in the body, and dared not to follow it, and directly sent the little girl's soul to hell. With this threat, Zha Kang could only do things obediently.
The front is not good (it's just not good, people are hiding in the old nest), want to be lazy and still be monitored, human beings are so weak and helpless.
Zha Kang can only use the following three abuse methods to do things.
For example, Shiji let the "demon thugs" fight against Negar's many opponents. But when they are used up, they will be eliminated directly.
For example, deceive Negal opponents, let them be forced to fight with "devil fighters" (one stone with two birds is also powerful).
For the girl's soul, he even dared to lie to Negal: threatening to open the gates of hell and destroy Los Angeles (but was seen through).
Scheming, using means, this is Zha Kang's method, what can be done, who said that the enemy is too strong and the human being is too weak.

My scum
Just because of the high cost of magic
Just like the demon of Negar, the whole story is covered. Magic, the most important tool in Constantine's world, also has its own operating principles.
Constantine's magic is very similar to Riman's "Fullmetal Alchemist", regardless of magic or alchemy, they both need to pay a price.
However, if there is a slight difference in the contest between spell casting and demons and gods, it will be overwhelming. The price paid is almost nothing compared to being alive.
Earlier in the "Newcastle Incident", Zha Kang, a newborn calf, used a magic business trip pool at the cost of a bunch of passersby being killed; the girl to be rescued went to hell; he died in a mental hospital.
Improper use has a price; correct use also has a price.
At the end, the elimination of Negar's powerful spell is achieved by sacrificing the affection, love, and friendship of Zhakang's friends.
Of course, Zha Kang could also tell his friends Chas the consequences, but at that time, reluctance was another matter.
Even small magic has annoying things, such as the swarm of flies that gush out when trying to see if a friend's daughter is harmed by the magic system...enough.
Even if you don't use magic, the magic world can play with you. Like those little evil scumbags.
This is the consequence of using magic, just like taking drugs. Can only sink into the sea of bitterness.
Zha Kang's fate has been doomed from the very beginning. If you want magic, you will get scum, use tricks, use your brain, and let yourself pay the least price and benefit the most.
03
My scum
Just because of world scum
Speaking of Zhakang, being so unscrupulous and fucking is probably because the magical world itself is terrible.
After all, compared to angels, gods, and demons, human beings with magic are still weak.
Compared to the magic boss with a face and a face, the second-rate Zhakang is still weak.
But like [Devil City], you didn't look for anything, but things disgusted you.
How can you live if you are not scumbag at this time?
Working for the devil is death, and failing to save a girl is also a dead end. Enemies have humiliated their enemies. The old account and the new account come together, and the world is not scumbag.
What's even more disgusting is that she was trapped and had to fight alone: the righteous sister who had just shown her, turned around and flirted with the devil, and the united front alliance collapsed instantly.
In this dangerous world of intrigue, how can you live without scum?
However, there is one thing that Zha Kang is still reliable (only referring to movies):
The world is so bad, there are piles of mess, but I, Zakang, is not afraid of troubles, don't care about anything, it will definitely be solved, of course...you don't care what you do.
