Remind him that slavs aren't white.

We both laugh.

it was pretty good

Holy shit just watched episode 1.
Is this finally the kino we deserve?

>>82525457
if anything, cloris leechman was coming off more german than slav/ruskie

>>82526805
Yes. Finally it has come upon us.

>>82525242

>Stormare have been typecast as a slav so many times that he's been promoted to a slav deity now

>>82526874
/tv/ is going to find out about it. Maybe we will all finally agree on something. Damn can't wait.

>>82526849

I thought she looked like a genuine babushka.

NEW FAVORITE SHOW RIGHT HERE FUCKING GOOSEBUMB AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DO THE INTERNET GOD AS A BASEMENT DWELLER LIKE IN THE ORIGINAL BOOK ABSOLUTELY BASED SHOW

>>82527084
I feel like the change works better.

New gen of shit posters are all tweens that think they are hot shit edge lords.

>>82525242
Ask him to double the wager, and win but still have him kill you after your contract with your boss is up.

>>82527196

I miss basement dweller internet, i can barely worship him on /tg/ anymore.

>>82525242
Guys, are we getting some exposition, eventually?

>so you're black right?

This character is gold

Do slavs in USA actually look and lives like that?

>>82525242
Standing against a poorly designed CGI backdrop, I throw a slow motion punch at the fake Slav. He blocks with his anus, however, and I'm sucked up into his bowels, where I float amongst the stars until he takes a dump. The soundtrack jumps from song to song over six dozen times from the moment I throw the punch to the moment I find myself being flushed down into the cosmic sewers.

>>82527196
>>82527356
It just shows the writers aren't tards who think Gamergate was about harassment and that all male gamers are fat virgins who should die in a fire.
When Gaiman portrayed him as a basement dweller it wasn't political, but today it would have been, intellectually, in very bad taste.
Glad they avoided that.

>>82527377
Exposition is for losers.

>>82527767
But I want stuff to make sense
I get that these are gods.
That there's old gods and new gods, so gods are born every once in a while I guess.
They're probably immortal in terms of old age.
I don't get exactly what they can do? Change reality wholesale? Only related to their archetype? Don't know
They have a need to be worshipped (even in unorthodox ways) in order to be strong or something. But who the fuck is worshiping odin?

Is good?

>>82527963
They feed on faith, that's true, but see the state they're in, compared to where they probably used to be. That shows they're getting weaker. Which is why Odin wants his war.
Unless I got it wrong.

>>82527993
Is better than your current favorite show.

>>82527731
Gamergate was about morons complaining fucking nonsense. Exactly what a fucking tween edgelord would do.

Who literally gives a shit about video game reviews?

he is getting weaker and weaker. but definition of 'worshipping' is changed today and in the book. watching TV creates its own good, I am pretty sure dressing as odin in halloween or playing age of mythology as odin would also give him some power.

Gamergate is when it became acceptable to shit on people like us because some of us tried to attack people affiliated with far-left media based on real corruption and general con-artist-tier shittiness.

>>82528000
Yeah but why would fighting each other make him stronger?
Getting men to fight, yes.

>>82528135
>people like us

shut up

>>82528188
The new Gods are a manifestation of the power humanity give to new technologies. I figure attacking them would also be attacking what they represent, and making humanity go back to simpler values.

>>82528212
How do normies react when you tell them you enjoy spending time on 4chan?

>>82528241
>normies

shut up

There's barely any new gods.
That's pretty lame.

>>82528135

People shat on you became you turned a non-political issue into a political issue and then acted surprised when the realities of politics struck back at you.

>>82528327
Well we've met two maybe three if black guy is one too.
We haven't met that many old gods either.
Leprechaun, that prisoner dude, Wotan, slav dude and sisters.

Never heard of this show but I love Stormare.

Is this Stormare /kino/?

>>82528513
he's great in it so far

Based Cloris drinking an entire bottle of vodka in one go, good episode

Is there a god that represents the science worship in society now?

>>82528588

Swedes like shitting on Russians is all. You get to do a funny accent and act like a slob.

>>82528563

>Pej dat majn hies mahni

>>82526880
It took years for me to figure out he was Swedish.

>>82528820
If you read his book, he is kinda an asshole.

He starves his children and wife, steals left and right, and pits his two sons against each other.

Wonder is we are going to see Fat Charley and Spider? John Boyaga for Fat Charley.

>>82528820
I hope so. BIG MAGNIFICENT BALLS!

>>82528327

What other new gods would there be? You already got media and tech which covers most modern bases. Maybe a political correctness monstrous deity.

>>82526880
I just watched John Wick 2 yesterday.

Starts with Stormare as a Russian mobster.

>>82528893
I don't remember Swedens shitting on Russians ever. They're too busy being faggots and kissing muslims butts. Stormare is the literally only one cool sweden guy.

Always.

Anansi Boys's rights has been sold separately, it's supposed to be a BBC miniseries with no relation to this series.

>>82529129
There's Mr.World, who's supposed to be Globalization.

>>82529556
That sucks, they would be a great companion piece to it.

Anansi Boy's is so much more up beat then American Gods. I think personally it does a better job with the magic world then American Gods. And I wanted to see how they address the animal kingdom is a separate pantheon and that Mr Nancy doesn't even need to fight if he didn't want to.

My guess is he really liked to fuck with people since the shitty things he does just to kill time. Then again he also gave a dying woman the time of her life because he loved her and he could.

>>82529556
Wew and here I was tolerating this shitty first season just in hopes we'd get to the good anansi boys stuff in season 1. Guess I'm out. The first book is absolute shit. All potential and no payoff until book 2.

>>82531202
i hate 4chan

>>82529973
this is especially ironic since gamergate brought a massive influx of redditors and normies to this site

>>82527993
it's based on a neil gaymen book, so no.

>>82531202
American Gods is already popular you dumb fuck.

>>82531436
Hardly.
Come back when you fucks are posting like it's GOT-tier viewers and then we can talk.
It's popular, yes. But it's not hated yet.

>>82531147
Perpetually on her periods.

>>82531538
American Gods is never going to get GOT numbers/mindshare. But Gaiman has a following and American Gods itself has always shown up on those best of modern fantasy lists and has inspired a lot of works in the same vein.

>>82531147
night shift

>>82531121
You're missing the point here. AMERICAN Gods. Fake accent is important. Mad Sweeney triggered Irish, Zoryas and Chernoboh triggered slavs, Anansi triggered niggers. They all are subtly wrong, because these gods are american. They are distorted, monstrous incarnations because they were brought so far by immigrants.

>>82525242
I often bounce between slav lands and central Europe. Can confirm food/meals are sacred. You don't show up without edible gifts either.
The only thing they should've added: FORCED SECONDS AND THIRDS.
You think you can just come over for a meal and have one normal serving? You will be attacked and shunned unless you take several more heaps after your plate is empty, often you'll get more shoved in before finishing the first helping.
OH, you think you're done after three bowls of Sarma and mashed potatoes? You're dead WRONG!
Enjoy another three to five slices of heavy ass pie/cake/dessert.
Protesting and struggling is pointless, just gotta let it happen.

>>82527963
Bryan Fuller doesn't do exposition. He will show you, visually. And sometimes a phrase here and there.

>>82528067
>Who literally gives a shit about video game reviews?
No one, that's the point. GG wasn't about that, it was an excuse made on /v/ to shit on gamer grills.

Bryan fuller has a horrific curse of making some of the best cinematic television and have shit rating, getting cancelled or having troubles getting his stuff seen.

Im still mad about hannibal being dropped.

So far, I love American gods purely for aesthetics reasons because it's a CARBON COPY of hannibal style wise.

>Color palettes
>dramatic tableaux and scenes (shadow walking on skulls in the forest to face the fire bull is literally will graham walking in the woods looking for the hannibal-deer-monster)
>use of totems, each first 10 minutes introducing a god is like the killer of the week making their designs in Hanni s01
>odin is hannibal and shadow is will but this time they're cooperating instead of confront each other
>gillian anderson back to playing a prime upper class milf maintaining a cold facade
>production based in toronto
>sound design identical to hannibal, down to the sounds effects and instruments

I've been waiting for this for so long but I'm seriously afraid this is going to get cancelled too. Adding 15 min of running time while maintaining the same slow editing pace and being on a less watched network is not good news.
And the Lecter universe has way more fanatical fans than american gods Im afraid

and this time it's going to be impossible to discuss this show on tv because main actor is black, interracial marriage, more sexual themes in the show triggering everyone here and a more social themes.

Young pope and Am gods are the only two dramas this year to be high caliber.

>>82532776
Surely you must be trolling. Next thing you're gonna tell me Anita Sarkeesian deserves to be alive.

>>82525242
I aint playing shit with this guy. He's always playing a crazy guy, laughs before he slams a knife in your eye.

>>82532776
Don't even respond to gg defenders. Every time someone disagrees with their opinions and worldviews they take it as another reason to feel oppressed and defend their garbage movement even more rigorously.

>>82532864
True.

Anyway, let's get back to topic. I really need some nice webms.

>>82532813
I can't get over Hannibal either.
Almost two years and it feels like a fresh stab every time I remember it was stolen from us.

Problem is that his way of filming and storytelling does not appeal to a wider audience...

>>82532864
You guys (won't even call for obvious samefagging) don't know what you're talking about, or are trolling. I won't bother.

GOAT SHOW
visually stunning, need webm

>>82525242

>>82525421
Is good?

>>82532849
Was thinking the same. Im pretty sure Fuller used some sort of 4rth wall trick on the audience.

Every semi-decent film goer has seen the stormare typecast. In constantine, fargo, prison break, he always schemes or fuck people over lol.
Which made me wonder if Fuller willingly used the actor to increase this sense of inevitable disaster. Greek style fatalism. I can only scream at the screen WHY ARE YOU MAKING BETS WITH PETER STORMARE YOU DUMB FUCK but I cant help watch the obvious trainweck.

Given the themes of religion, divinity, spirituality, shadow seems like a hercules. He keeps finding himself in incredibly difficult positions ( refusing that blowjob after 3 years of jail, fighting magical irish fairytale character, attacked by the minions of a brutal childish god, wife betrayal/death/best friend ).

Even for a tv show thats a lot of adversity in just a 2 episodes. He seems to have little g. Feels like something from Ovid. Little grasp on reality, no control over events.

>>82531199
No one reads video game reviews. Who gives a shit.

>>82533332
>shadow seems like a hercules
which makes me wonder, who or what saved him from the "lynch mob"?

Gorssly simplified it goes like this.

There are gods, archetyoes and myths.

Gods: like odin, thor, Bast and anubis. Does what they are expected to do.
Odin feeds on blood sacrifice ( a BLOT) which is the sacrifice of men unto his cause, he can do "magic/miracles" regarding to his tales, and can at maximum do the stuff he did in the snorri sagas. IE change form, imbue magic items, con ANYONE (he is a guile hero) and can do MAX or MIN based on how many people believe in him and what is sacrificed unto him,

Archetypes: like johnny apple seed are told in both miraculous, and mundane manner, and live pretty much as long as they are told, they have more "down to earth" stories, but are around for a longer time

Heroes: more or less like perseus, Arash and sigismund are men born of god unions and have the potential to become hotshit, but are not necessarily all that great. they live like men but are a tad different.

Grossly simplified. They need faith to do awesome shit, and if not they can do bare things, Seducing one person, sure, fraud, sure, walk out of prison no chains attached? nope too much hassle.

They age and lose effect when the sacrifices wear off. BUt yes, they endure and exist as logn as there is someone who knows of them.

The point is they do not LIVE in their own opinion if no one believes in them, they just are. They all want power. And there is only so much to go aroundö

>>82535885

Fucking this.

Shit reviews for things are given all the time. Have been for years. The only reason Gamergate became a thing was because it was the perfect storm that pitted legit fucking awful misogynists vs the very worst feminism has to offer, before dragging people whose views aren't as hardline or fucking bullshit as those two extremes in.

It's literally the autism of hardline feminism vs the autism of hardline meninism.

Who the fuck gives a damn about a shitty review source? If they give shite reviews ignore them. The Sun gave the Green Lantern film a glowing review, ergo if I see a review from The Sun, I know it's probably bollocks.

Gamergate is actual legit no fooling autism at its zenith on both sides.

Americans don't know the difference. For real, you don't.

I did a semester at the University of Virigina on an exchange course and the amount of people who seemed to think the "British" accent came in two flavours, Posh or Cockney was honestly depressing.

I can't imagine why that would be different for Slavs.

>>82528820
They died to feed his power. Better to do that than die for white people who would just exploit them. He literally said "why not die for something bigger than yourselves?"

I took it that their sacrifice was what gave him the strength to actually make it to America, but I'm fully aware that edges into headcannon territory.

>>82529852
Anansi Boy's was always separate to American Gods though. I mean you could kind of link them, but Gaiman was always clear that they were independent works.

>>82538969
I honestly don't remember. Look up the back story of the Gods that get mentioned. You can tell Gaiman really did his research and went out of his way to weave the lore into the story.

What I got from his dialogue though, given that I honestly can't remember because it's been about 15 years since I read the damn thing, was that he and his brother used to represent black and white. polar opposites, but nowadays their power is considerably weaken and that line is blurred and they're both just grey

One thing I really like about this show is its use of nudity. It isn't done for titillation or to be crass, there's something more primal to it.

I have no real desire to see dicks, but I like that we're in a place now where a picture of someones dick can be used to drive home a serious point about betrayal on a TV show instead of them just having to skirt around it lest it offend.

Ditto with Bilquis being shown nude. She's a lust God so of course she's shown that way. That's just how it is.

I know it's not the first show to do this, but I just like how carefree it is with it. It's not meant to be a big thing like in Game of Thrones a few years back where every episode had to have a sex scene or at least some nudity. it's just there.

The thing that twists my melon is Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday.

I remember my dad watching reruns of this shitty 80's tv show called Lovejoy about an antiques dealer who basically solved crimes and noticed forgeries in the South East of England because he was THAT shit hot at being an antiques dealer.

All of a fucking sudden he's in John Wick, and now he's Mr. Wednesday

Since when did his career take off again? Since when has he been such a good actor?

>>82534183
Not sure if this is bait or if people genuinely get their understanding of Norse mythology from Marvel

>>82539483
Deadwood AND Hot Rod

>>82539503
The latter my freind, which given that I'm a colossal comicsfag is depressing as fuck

Even Stan Lee, as big a hack as he is, freely admits that he just cherrypicked the shit he liked from Norse Mythology and bullshitted the rest because it made something that sounds cool.

you shouldnt be surprised by this. i know some people that think norse gods only exist in marvel, like their invention.
no clue that this was a real religion at some point

>>82539547
Ah I don't know those. You know how dads stereotypically like an awful TV show and you just don't get why? For my dad that was Lovejoy.

In terms of old shite British TV from the 80's and 90's, it would be like Peter Davidson or Richard O'Brien suddenly making a comeback

I mean I like him, I think he's terrific and I might go back and watch Lovejoy now that I'm old enough to appreciate decent acting, but it just sits weird with me.

Never count an actor out I guess.

>>82539771
i first heard of him when he made an appearance in got and everyone was masturbating over him like he was some god of acting

>>82539483
>Since when has he been such a good actor?

always

When the book was written capeshit with norse mythology wasn't a thing outside comics.
The Wednesday=wodan=odin connection isn't as obvious. I wonder is Shadow feeling slow on the uptake is due to recent mass exploitation of norse/german myth in games and movies.

>>82539483
>Since when has he been such a good actor?
He's one of those actors that chooses his roles carefully and while never being HUGE manages to be respectable and p great.

>>82539984
It really is obviousI could tell that he was Odin right from the off when I read it about 15 years ago

To this day though, something that really fucking bugs me is that I didn't clock that Low Key was Loki. It's so fucking obvious it's painful,
but I didn't. Just one of those things that stares you in the face that you don't see I guess. To this day I over analyse names in books just in case though, so it obviously left an impact on me

>>82540146
maybe that's the point of his character, being a deceiver and all

>>82540059
>>82539939
Oh I won't argue with that now, but in terms of pokey 80's shows? Imagine if you'd head nothing from Hasselhoff since Baywatch and then all of a sudden he's this amazing actor.

I feel guilty for not noticing him.

>>82540146
Yeah. I am a Scandinavian, so I got it easily as well, but I thought it might be different for someone with another cultural background.

I also missed Low key and felt super stupid

>>82540146
>>82540277

I didn't get it either until the reveal, even though in hindsight its astoundingly obvious.
Gaiman truly is a master ruseman.

>>82540277
>>82540434
I'm glad it's not just me. My missus didn't either so that gave me some solace.

It's so fucking obvious when you say it out loud, which is probably why they haven't actually used his name on the show yet.

/tv/ unironically likes this shit?

mr. world, stock market, mr. town, and a plethora of other ones i think like industry, transportation, etc. I'm pretty sure if I remember the book correctly, the guys that got killed at the end of the first episode were actually supposed to be men in black, and mr. town's friends. Conspiracy theory gods.

So, the lynch mob killing... Laura, or Loki?

>>82541790

The black choppers working like psychopomps to take the soul of the dead. Modern Valkyries.

I liked that touch.

The gods of The Market. Can't remember how they were called off the top of my head? The Intangibles?

>>82541889
The only thing that annoys me about the show is how they went with weird droogs rather than men in black. I feel like they're going to skip over a lot of the new gods unfortunately. And we're not getting hinzelman til season 2. Also looks like lowkey doesn't come back til season 2 as well.

>it's a "bryan fuller cinematically jerks himself off for an hour on the screen" episode
nope not falling for it again

>>82542247
i figured that too, i switched off hannibal somewhere along the line

difference is that he actually has good writers with him now, unlike hannibal

>>82542153
I felt more to me that they updated the New Gods with a more modern aesthetic. The problem with the Novel is that it will always be a product of its time as a reader will always be able to envision more new gods as time goes on.

I don' think they're going to skip some of the new gods. If anything, there will be more

>>82542153
>how they went with weird droogs rather than men in black.
I agree with the other anon, I think they weren't supposed to be the Men in Black, but just goons for the Internet kid, he called them "children" right? Which made me think they were the embodiment of the average psychopathic kid playing violent games or something like that..

>>82542575
right but in the book they aren't the kid's goons, they are actual gods. Could be wrong though.

>>82542247
he gets really excessive and annoying with the random cutaways and slow mo

>>82542765
The goons we saw in the show are probably not gods, just some manifestation that acts as helpers to Technical Boy. I mean, you can say it's some sort of anonimity thing, or avatars, or whatever, but I'm sure the Men in Black will show up at some point. There's only one book and this show wants to go for at least 3 seasons.

>>82542765

When I saw Low Key, I said, LOKI because I'm not an idiot like a lot of people. Although, Valen being a Mimbari not of Mimbar did catch me off guard. And to think It was written that way because the actor was a hopeless addict, even though it comes off as if it was intended that way.

Mate Slavs being good at chess/checkers is a well established thing.

It's one of the only things the US would allow as a positive stereotype of the Soviet Union.

Space shit? Nah. Fuck the fact that the Soviets, a Communist nation won every aspect of the space race BAR landing a man on the moon, it's the moon that counts.

All them filthy Slavs are good for intellectually are confined games like chess.

I'm about as far from a commie as you can get, but the lengths the US went propaganda wise to pretend nothing the USSR did was ever of merit is both genuinely fascinating and at times hilarious if you properly look into it

Didn't expect that at all. Shows a nice bit of cultural awareness from the writers.

I'm sure we're going to get something referencing a god of transportation due to Odins reluctance to go on a freeway. I don't buy his bullshit about wanting to see the country and all that.

>>82548244
the freeway/highway god is pretty powerful, there is also the railroad god one of the oldest of the new gods

>>82529129
Only mentioned in the book,(but it is confirmed that the show is gonna add new stuff) god of drugs, railroads, cancer.

Im in the exact same boat anon. Totally loved Hannibal, and everything about AmGs is perfect from the production team to the casting - I hope the fact that Starz scooped them up negates or at least minimizes the risk of cancellation.

Also loved their injection of a Mark Lanegan song in ep1, and just noticed his voice by the end of the intro song when I watched ep2. fucken epic.

The only show Fuller has seen to three seasons was Hannibal, and that was a fucking miracle of pumpkins.

Dead like me was taken over by someone after season 2.

>>82532813
Hannibla really got dicked over more than anything else by Liftetime

Fuller had a whole 5 season long story planned out that would have introduced Clarice and play out the story up to him ditching Will for her

but fucking lifetime holds the fucking tv rights currently to Clarice because they had planned at one point to make a lifetime series focusing on her. They blue balled Fuller hard so he had to improvise, which fucked over his story

He's Anasi, probably the most well known African god

He's basically this tiny pissant god compared to all the other African mythological figures but he's by far one of the smartest and most clever and at times a real douchebag, but for the most part he is viewed as heroic because he always manages to overcome adversity by outsmarting his foes

considering he was wearing a tailored suit a few centuries ahead of its time he probably briefly traveled back in time for a quick snack

>>82549312
that was Horus, unless I'm thinking of a different scene, or maybe this is in the extended edition?

their faith and sacrifice, but yes

>>82531258
Everyone does

>>82549393
fuck yea he did, he purposely knew which buttons to push so that not only would the slaves kill themselves and their slavers but they would do it all in his name to maximize the sacrifice

plus as someone mentioned in a previous thread, something like that would have made headlines back in the day and been recorded in history books so as making it a recurring and constant source of power for him

That said everybody that's read the book understands that the vast majority of the gods you meet in this show aren't really good guys regardless of what side they are

It's not a "fuck white people" It's that Anansi riled up the niggers he doesn't give a fuck about for his own purposes in the same way that Trump riled up the american right for his own ambition and he doesn't give a fuck about the right.

I mean they're likely liberal but a lot of liberals didn't vote for Shillary and still consider Trump to be a conman.

Saying that voting for Trump believing that he gave a shit about helping anybody isn't the same as thinking you should have voted for Shillery. Never assume that somebody that dislikes one political side is for the other.

There's more treebeards out there than you'd think.

I'm a fun of Bryan fuller shows but the first episode really turned me off. The second ep was admittedly better but I'm not sure of the series still. It seems like it could go to shit in a heartbeat

>Literally worse than any "Kill Whitey"-niggers.

I know you're trolling, but you know hwat's funny? All those opiod addicts are from Appalachia, the ones who always vote Republican. By taking away mandatory rehab like Obummer's bill had, he's litterally killing off the people who voted for him because now they can't afford to get help and will die from overdose because they can't get treatment.

The Democratic party is fucking stupid, rainbow colored haired trannies ruining any sort of discourse, but at least they aren't stupid enough to make sure hundred's of thousands of their own voters die each year.

does he find fibonacci in this show?

>>82551782
No. The salesman was at fault. When the salesman realizes he's a Djinn he asks if he grants wishes and the Djinn says, "I do not grant wishes".

Then after they fuck the salesman says, "I wish to see the world through your eyes" and the Djinn repeats (tearfully) "I do not grant wishes".

The very next day everyone thinks the salesman is the Djinn and the Djinn has left behind his clothes and such, thus granting the wish, "I wish to see the world through your eyes". Remember Djinns are fucking assholes and twist wishes if you word them poorly, which is exactly what happened here.
