I got bored with the novel very quickly because for the first 100 pages or so it didn't feel like it went anywhere. Maybe being a show will make it more entertaining.

Wait until /pol/ finds out his wife in the show is white.
>>
>>80456324
He was always meant to be kinda half-black. A prison guard asks him if he has Nagger blood in him in the opening chapters, so its clear he's not 100% Baldr white. That being said, if he was as black as this dude the guard wouldn't need to ask. I always imagined him as a Native American, which seemed thematically sensible to me.

So, ultimately it was just a choice for representation and/or a choice made by Gaiman years after the book's original publication.

I've always imagined him as a thin black-ish dude, so I'm ok with the actor they chose to portray him. I don't think it was ever mentioned what colour was his skin, but I might be wrong.

he was mixed race in the book so if you imagine him as white that's your own issue.

His dad is fuckin Odin and his mom died of Sickle Cell Anemia and is described as "not like" [pale, skinny] the women Wednesday was usually attracted to. His skin is referred to as coffee and cream, which is a definitively brown color, albeit a light one.

Some of the CGI looks a little ropey, there's a shit load in there that wasn't in the books, and the gospel music choice for that particular trailer was a fucking terrible idea, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

Didnt Shadow get followed by his dead wife or something for a while?

Anyway I always pictured him being Native American. There was always thunderbird imagery used around him with Odin. I always thought Odin just got with a native chick who actually worshipped the old gods power structure.

>>80458964
They were old black undertakers in the fucking book. They were lousiana cajun niggers for gods sake.
>>
>>80458921
Yeah but it was only visually apparent that she was deceased under day/bright light. She wasn't zombie-tier in her decomposition.

As for Shadow's ethnicity, it's clear he's "dark" in a Native American sense, but nowhere near black. The fact that the prison guard asks him if he's got nigger blood in him obviously means that's he's mixed but more light than dark. You wouldn't ask a 50/50 mixed if he had nigger blood in him because it'd be as clear as day.
>>
>>80459076
Wrong again, reddit:

"“Well,” said Mr. Ibis, smiling just a little
smugly, “we go back a very long way. Of
course, it wasn’t until after the War Between
the States that we found our niche here. That
was when we became the funeral parlor for
the colored folks hereabouts. Before that no
one thought of us as colored—foreign maybe,
exotic and dark, but not colored. Once the
war was done, pretty soon, no one could
remember a time when we weren’t
perceived as black. My business partner,
he’s always had darker skin than mine. It
was an easy transition. Mostly you are what
they think you are. It’s just strange when they
talk about African-Americans. Makes me
think of the people from Punt, Ophir, Nubia.
We never thought of ourselves as Africans—
we were the people of the Nile.”
“So you were Egyptians,” said Shadow.
Mr. Ibis pushed his lower lip upward, then
let his head bob from side to side, as if it
were on a spring, weighing the pluses and
minuses, seeing things from both points of
view. “Well, yes and no. ‘Egyptians’ makes
me think of the folk who live there now. The
ones who built their cities over our
graveyards and palaces. Do they look like
me?”
Shadow shrugged. He’d seen black guys who
looked like Mr. Ibis. He’d seen white guys
with tans who looked like Mr. Ibis."

are you retarded. Ibis looking the way he does has to do with him and how he deals with his godhood and how to maintain it, not how the reader, thru Shadow, sees them.

The Gods themselves equate their situation with that of running a business. They choose to look how they need to to different people to get the response they want out of their faithful.

They play the same con that the new gods play, they just have a more lassie-faire attitude about it.

No, the most important thing to remember is why we named out weekdays the way we did. You know that, the entire book falls apart by the 2nd chapter. I was genuinely surprised when the reveal happened because it was so obvious I didn't think Gaiman would do it. Good book regardless.

Mate you're talking absolute fucking bollocks. Read the passage above. He's literally explaining how he has the same appearance as "his people", the people of the Nile. At no point anywhere is it even remotely implied that he shape-shifted into a nigger to appease the people around him (which would be a really good idea during slavery-era USA, wouldn't it, you fucking ape?).

Shadow was not a black guy in the book. He was literally discribed as non-descript. His name Shadow came from just being there, but never defining anything. He is supposed to be an everyman out of time and place. Some leftie producer saw his name was Shadow and just went with a black guy.

Not quite right. She has to take a night job with poor lighting so people can't see her decomposing and she does start to stink from decomposition about halfway through the book iirc. But she's more like the undead since she has super strength and full mental faculties.

Are you implying the average overweight 19 year old female Gaiman fan isn't a lesbian or bisexual?
Are you implying the vignettes where a taxi driver has gay sex with a genie and a succubus sucks a man into her vagina and eats him were for children?
>>
>>80460133
Would you need to question whether this guy had mixed heritage? I would've thought it was apparent to anyone that wasn't blind. The fact the question was asked means that it wasn't as apparent as this guy that Shadow was mixed. He was therefore intended by Gaiman to be MUCH lighter.
>>
>>80457850

I think Gaiman used him as an example for who he would've cast at some point.
>>
>>80460227
Deepest lore: it was an actual skinwalker native american spirit trying to pull him back to his old life and old ways. He became the nu-man and Crowley'd himself to escape it.

>>80460314
I'm implying that women were the target audience of the book and are the target audience of the show. There are things in there not for the target demo, but the book was written with a narrative structure a woman's novel would have. And by women I also include fey men like Gaiman that function the exact same.

The entire middle of the book when he is stranded in a fairytale town of perfect america where he is close to a woman companion but respects her as an equal that goes on for way too many chapters. Or the part where he is an excon trying to get his shit together so he assumes the persona of a gentle giant that doesn't want to step on anyones toes.

That's not what was said, read the post again. The distinction between how blaxk Shadow's actor is and how black book shadow is can be clearly observed by the fact that no-one would be in any doubt over show Shadow's ethnic makeup, yet the fact that book Shadow's ethnicity is questioned/mused upon several times throughout the novel is proof that it is not as cut and dry, ergo Shadow should be MUCH lighter than he is portrayed as.

>>80472542
Yeah, its a fucked up rollout. The trailer is neat and all, but the what the fuck factor of the first third of the book or so is a good portion of the enjoyment.
>>
>>80472589
Hope they show this in the show.
>>
>>80472740
waay too much information, the firs trailer nailed it, this didn't, wtf? their obviously compressing the story if their giving this much away this early, bet you find out who loki is 1/2 through s1
>>
>>80472794
yea, the scene was funny af desu
>>
>>80472977
>widow of dead friend tells Shadow his dead wife died while sucking her dead husband's cock
>funny af
Careful with that edge.
>>
>>80473157

No, you're just a teenage edgelord.
>and i'm pretty sure neil intended it that way,
Is that why everything about the scene was solemn and bleak?
>learn how to black comedy autisit

i'm old kid, guess things like that r just funny to me, then again haven't read it in years, I just remember the whole bit being bleakly funny
>>
>>80468209
Literally the first chapter, by the prison guard.

Retarded faggot.
>>
>>80473924
Well, old kid, I guess you must find all tragic circumstances to be "funny af."
>>
>>80475374
nah, that one was tho, but tbph anything involving drowning is horrible for me, so the whole icelake thing was pretty fucking harsh
>>
>>80475432
The icy lake is a completely separate storyline, fucko. Shadow's wife dies in a car accident but a child is later killed and put in the trunk of a car that slips into a lake as the ice melts. Get your shit together.
>>
>>80475606
yea thx ya dumb shit what I'm saying is some tragic things I find funny like being blowjobbed to death, and some I don't, like being drown alive, understand? no? don't really give a fuck
>>
>>80475673
No one drowned, fuckwit. That old god killed children every year and put their bodies in the trunks of those cars to disappear. Shadow only went in the lake to prove it.
>>
>>80475836
fucks sake, stop being so contrain, shadow alomst drown, I almost drown, that shit is fucking scary for me, some cheating couple drunkenly dying in a crash cause she was giving him a gobby, while the husband is is in prison, is funny, why are you still having trouble understanding this?
>>
>>80456324
I've got a black friend nicknamed shadow so I kinda saw him as black from the beginning.

Especially the anasi boys I read as black. Kinda carlton/will is the way I saw them.
>>
>>80476031
the anasi boys are black, Shadow is mulatto at most
>>
>>80476117
well tbf my bud shadow is half black half mexican but at the point if you're half black most of everyone in the world is gonna see you as just black

but whatever
>>
>>80456090

Native american gods?
>>
>>80476233
>shadow is half black half mexican

>pic related
>>
>>80476324
nah I meant my bud we call shadow is half black half mexican and cause of him when I read american gods I saw shadows as some black dude


btw the trailer looks solid. Idk why I'm stuck on this nitpicky race bs
>>
>>80476405
ah, the trailer gives too much away and the music is wrong, the first one was better, show still looks gud, the casting is incredible, mostly easters wrong
>>
>>80472693
I know American Gods is better but I read Anasi Boys first for whatever stupid kid reason and I think because of that I don't hate it as much. It felt like a fun goofy romp and I liked the whole power of music shit. But then again I was young and nostalgia is a lying bitch.
>>
Dropped.

>>80476464
I think the vast majority of the viewers will not read the book nor ever will read the book.

I don't know what sort of criticism is that the trailer gives away too many spoilers. Exactly what did we see in less than one second clips that gave away any major plot points that would ruin some person ignorant of the story's enjoyment of the series. I recognized everything and nothing in the trailer spoiled anything in particular - some random scenes that have no meaning if you don't know anything, which will be the case for most of the people watching this.

>>80476867
the War, your not suppose to know what wednesday is doing until about 1/2 way through, its kinda important
>>
>>80476909
I got the impression Wednesday was rallying for power the moment he started going around and the fact that all the new gods were fucking about doing things.

Maybe the meeting on the Ferris wheel happened half way through the book but I don't think the fact that there's a conflict is hidden at all. I really think it's not possible to miss that a war is going on in some manner.
>>
>>80456324
WTF? I thought for sure he was navtive american. Like I thought they talked about it in the book. Isn't his name Shadow Moon?
>>
trailer gave away everything, even odin's involvement.

I wonder how the stupid low-key/loki shit is gunna work.
>>
>>80477358
1/2 norse 1/2 native american
>>
>>80475909
It's hard to understand anyone who writes like such a retard.
>>
>>80460280
i regret i read it. i read stardust before so i couldnt wait to read gaiman's best regarded book.
it wasnt terrible but i felt like there was no payoff throughout the whole thing. the only part i truly enjoyed was the comfy snow town.
>>
>>80478192
Good point well made, fgt
>>
>>80456090
>Main character is literally called Shadow
