What was the gay sex scene about?
Did he become a djinn? Did the djinn take over his body?
Did the djinn just give him a job?

This show went to shit fast

>>82764606
the book is massively overrated and coasts on an interesting premise that is never really paid off in a satisfying way. there was no chance this show was going to be good.

the fuck's the torrent

How come the black slaves on the boat were shocked to be enslaved when they had already been captured as slaves back in Africa?

>>82767433
been out for hours pleb, get a real tracker

>>82767511
To guilt trip viewers

>>82767511
US education is THIS bad, uh?

>>82767511
Because slavery in Africa was different than what slavery in America was. You can assume they were shocked that they were chained up in a boat

Yeah, no OP. Don't talk about writing when you know shit about it.

no, starz, you'll never convince me to watch something that stars 50 cent

>>82764606

the opening scene with anubis was pretty great, though.

>full frontal
>full gay sex scene between Muslims

I really hope the Muslim community watched this one. Can't wait for their reaction.

Has there been a single nude scene of a non-black woman yet?

>>82767396
I enjoy the book but admit the payoff is disappointing. The side story with the village by the lake was the best part honestly.

Wtf just happened?
His wish was to become a cab driver? Kek

>>82769270
His wish was to fuck another Muslim fag.

Awful show desu. Cast a model to be the lead actor and nothing happens in these episodes.

>>82769270

his wish was to not live his shitty life being a door to door salesman in america and the djinn didn't want to trade cabs anymore.

through gay fuck magic they switched lives

>>82767511
That boat wasn't a good representation of what the slaver boats were actually like. The slaves in the show had ample light and space, and it wasn't nearly wet enough. Slavers would cram as much slaves as possible in their holds, so that wasn't even close to full.

>>82767383
The book was written by a man and the two showrunners are men. You cant blame women for the suck.

>>82767634
Yes it was worse. Especially if they were enslaved by muslim traders rather than other african tribes that jiat hated them.

>>82765248
They switched work life's. Remember, he was wearing the blue suit in the diner when he met with Mr. Wednesday. So he kinda sorta granted his wish since he didn't like selling shit, so now he drives a cab.

>>82770281
>WE WUZ SLAVES

Oh wait, yeah they were slaves. Huh.

>>82765248
Be careful of petty wishes

>>82767511
It was interesting that Ansasi would be so wrong, considering it was a black man that created slaves in America.

They were indentured servants until Anthony Johnson freed himself, became a servant owning landowner and then said "aw hell naw dawg" when one of his servants tried to free himself, creating a precedent for slavery.

Thanks Obama

That opening scene was pretty dope

>>82764606

>>82770791
You forgot the gay shit in episode 3.

>>82770791
Why so triggered

>>82770939
No, he did not.

>>82770938
That was a bit much though; Dafuq is Gay men doing with all these fag shit. And what the fuck, they had the fags on the desert no less. Jinns aren't fags, are they? I know they created fags, or something but they're not butt pirates, are they? Fuck. We have yet to see a White woman and a white man go at it. But fuck, now it looks like we'll be having Shadow boning his dead wife. What the fuck is going on with Kneels Gay Man?

>>82770225
from what i recall, children weren't born into slavery in africa like they were in the americas

>>82770960
And then the fags were in the desert and then the fucking fire fag came fire in the other guys ass and his inner soul caught on fire. What the fuck is this shit? Why can't there be like a cunny god where you get to cum in cunny and then you and her live forever somewhere, where no body judges you?

>>82771122
No, because the Arab tradition calls for castration upon enslavement

I don't mind this show, thought the side stories interest me more.

I do love how full /pol/ it makes people go.

>>82769270
no his wish was to not be a salesmen

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

>>82771751
He let the dude fuck fire up his ass to not be a salesman? Fucking go work at a McDonalds you stupid sand nigger, don't let a dude put his demon dick up your ass and cum fire in you. Fuck! And don't tell me they're going to make shadow put his dick in his rotting dead wife? That'd be too much, even for me.

When the fuck are the MIB showing up, most interesting characters in this shitshow, plus they actually move the plot forward

I wish i had a god for a friend ;__;

I know it's canon, I just thought it'd be funny to see Muslims get butthurt about it.

>>82769057

The girl in Wednesday's bed in episode 2.

>>82773227
he lost the source of his good luck so shit keeps going sideways for him

also his fun usual dialogue

>>82772458

It's been some time since I read the book, but it started with Shadow getting the moon and beating Chenobog at checkers, and ended shortly after they robbed the bank with Shadow finding Laura in his motel room.

I'm pretty sure the timeline e from the book is a little fucked.

>>82773502

This show is not good lol

>>82773227

>>82773617
Jesus you kind of people are fucking pathetic.

>>82773617
This shows pretty good, Shadow is meant to be more racially ambiguous tho.

>>82773889
what other actor could they get this is the closest the could of got to the book

>>82773889
> you got nigger blood in you boy?

>>82773910
I dunno I always pictured Shadow as looking native American tho.

>>82769742
The djinn did this so that when the new gods kill him as part of the upcoming war they actually kill the salesman, at least that was the point of it in the book.

>gay pajeet sex scene

Looks like Fuller has bypassed the subtle homolust Hannibal had all together with this shit

>>82775062
it's in the source material, it's not like he added it just for goofs

>>82775062

>>82773502

Man Egyptian Afterlfe sucks

>Weigh your heart
>Now pick a door


What do the doors mean?

>>82775282

so anubis weighs your heart, right? if you were a piece of shit in your human life the heart weighs heavier than the feather of truth, and you get thrown into the maw of an alligator god.

if not, like in the show, and its fairly balanced, then you get to enter the Duat. the Duat is the egyptian realm of the dead and is full of trials, or gateways, that you still need to pass through in order to enter egyptian paradise, called Aaru.

think like fields of elysium. thing is though, is that the Duat is full of monsters and demons guarding the gateways, usually armed with weapons and with grotesque appearances. its assumed if you fail their tests you get consumed or some shit.

basically that old lady is most likely still fucked.

>>82775469
Sounds like no fun allowed. I'll take boring ole Christain Afterlife.

>>82775552

what's going to be interesting is to see how shadow's wife, having encountered anubis for some reason, doesnt get judged by anubis

>>82773502

Having an Arabian fire demon fuck me full of his demon fire and turning me into an Arabian fire demon is my fetish.

>>82770656
He wasn't wrong, he was weaving a tale .

He's a trickster and storyteller god.

In the show he was trying to convince the slaves to be his sacrifices, and to us he was weaving a moving tale so they we'd see it as more than just sacrifice for him to gain power and influence.

>>82777399
Pacing in the book is also bad, it only starts getting up at the House of Stone.

ITT: triggered /pol/ reverse tumblrinas

This show is fucking awful. McShane is its only saving grace.

I think the third episode was great aside of the gay scene (not because it was gay, but because CG looked like PS2 game cutscene).

The visuals are so clever - like when we see Sweeny's shadow that looks like a real leprechaun. Or how streetlight reflections in Ifrit's glasses look like flame. It worth rewatching for such pictures alone.

>>82773502

I literally discovered that gay arabian sex is my fetish through this.

Thanks, /tv/.

And also this >>82775685

>>82777805
wait really?

>>82777805

I think the gay scene was too much just normal sex, and not enough magic or fantasy.

How is this "bad luck" exactly? It would be bad luck if the pipe had killed him. The driver getting killed wasn't even a minor inconvenience - he got further in that car than he would have if he had walked, including delays from the death.

IN THE BOOK HE CAME IN HIS MOUTH

What was the justification for the prolonged gay sex scene? I'm just questioning how normies who like this show would possibly defend it outside of "wow so progressive."

I'm gay btw

>>82778047

Yes, and the whole scene was like one page from an almost 50 page chapter, not 5 minutes of explicit imagery on an one-hour episode.

Also, it wasn't the book best moment, felt forced for shock value.

>>82778233
Answer the question

>>82778285
The same justification for everything else in the show: artistic freedom.

You're a pretty idiotic and narrow minded person if you think every little thing needs some kind of justification just because you're a self-loathing faggot. You wouldn't bat an eye if it was a straight sex scene.

>>82778327
Straight sex scenes are also garbage. It's filler that doesn't even have the typical excuse of "character development."

How do you think the characters match up to the actors?
And are the other names out? who Is going to play Heinzelmann? Sam? shadows mom?

>>82779027
lakeside hasn't been cast yet, but we;ll be seeing that season 2

Gay muslim was such a whiny bitch. Ooh, it's so hard to live in America, poor me! Be grateful, in your native country you would be stoned or hanged.

>>82770423
No, that's what they teach in actual universities. The idea that white people went to the heartland of africa and captured people and made them slaves is shit-tier public school american education. What actually happened was that other africans would enslave them and then sell them to whites.
Due to your shitty education, you probably also think that making a black man play an egyptian god is accurate.

>>82779179
Nope, you have no idea what you're talking about.

>>82779120
Wait, season 2??
They cant wrap it up in the next 9 episodes..?

>>82770423
What did you mean by this?

>>82779212
Yes, I do, that's how slavery worked the vast majority of times. Roots isn't an academic work, anon.

>>82779222

>>82779259
Will Shadow fuck Bastet in this season or the next one?

>>82779288
i think next season, i haven't heard any casting for Bast yet and i think S1 has wrapped up filming

>>82779272
>Read a history book once in a while.
I have, you have not. What's the Oyo Empire? Kong Empire? Ashanty Empire?
Africans warred with other africans, enslaved them and then sold them to whites. This is how the overwhelming majority of blacks were enslaved.
I understand you've been taught otherwise, I'm sorry for that, americans are pretty ignorant about history in general.

Do people really think this?

>>82779784
He's the first character we meet ;) I wanted him to be CIA guy

>>82778198
I laughed my ass off at Mexican Jesus.

I'm really not enjoying how "normal" Shadow is.

He's supposed to be ridiculously obedient and almost never questioning. I know we throw the word around a lot but it seems like he's almost autistic. He does what he's told and it ridiculously competent but comes off really cold and emotionless.

I know, you can't sell a show with a ridiculously stoic black guy who never gets angry. Maybe I need to give it more time as its only been three episodes. I don't know, maybe they'll have him drop the whole skeptic act after this season when he sees all the crazy shit on the merry-go-round.

>>82780519
HE KINDA WANT TO DIE LATER ON HIS WIFE EVEN TOLD HIM SHE IS MORE ALIVE THAN HIM AND SHE IS DEAD

>>82778139
No purpose other than to include short stories of random gods with no relation to the main plotline. Gaiman also did this in Sandman.

Does Jesus ever appear in the original book?

>>82780601
yea, after the end of the book

>>82765248
They included that in episode 3?
It takes place halfway through the book.
Its the only homsex story in the book though. It only feels forced on account of every show trying to be progressive.

>>82767511
>Nothing like this was in the book
>No tiger's balls

No real update really. If the rumours are true that Gaiman is going to integrate parts of his planned sequel then there may be more stories regarding the new gods.

>>82780601
They cut the chapter where Shadow hallucinates/meets Jesus while holding vigil for Wednesday.

There's nothing notable about the encounter. Jesus is a really chill guy who sympathizes with the fact that Shadow is tied and strapped to a tree dying for others.

>>82781437

bigger problem is forcing some political shit through the show

>>82781437
it was tastefully and beautifully done

Third episode was a lot of meh. Gay sex scene was way too long and cut out a huge chunk of the episode when we already had a 'Somewhere in America' segment with Anubis. Then they kind of just quickly scuttle over Wednesday scamming people and Shadow learning how to make snow appear.

>>82770938
>instantly muh diks

>>82769196

American gods is at its best when it's Shadow going for long walks and occasionally visiting people with Wednesday

It's at its worst when it progresses the actual plot in the last third

I like when he buys warm clothes

Will there be more gay sex?

Asking for a friend..

>>82782123
No, at least according to the book. In the show, who knows. Maybe Mr.Jacquel and Mr.Ibis will be gays this time.

>>82779222

>>82779833
that is legit what he's doing, though

anansi is much like a tv evangelical who "cures" people, preacher-like demeanor but in it for himself

>>82780984
I'd be pretty okay with this

seriously, there's no way to please everybody when it comes to ancient egyptians, because every fucking eurasiafrican race seems to put a claim on "that was us"

I haven't seen the episode yet but it's being called the most explicit gay sex scene ever aired on TV.

Is it more explicit than the gay sex scene from High Maintenance?

I wanted to like it, but making Anansi an edgy faggot was sad as fuck. The Anansi book is probably my favorite from Gaiman and they turned him into shit.

>>82779333

>thinking I care if you think I am racist or even if I am racist

Doesn't change the argument that Africans enslaving Africans and selling them to the Dutch or whoever else doesn't absolve people later down the chain of purchasing, enslaving, and continuing the practice after it was stopped elsewhere.

>>82779333
Slaves existed forever, but Europeans (and Arabs) in the 16th through 19th century made it into a giant industrial and most importantly global enterprise. It's not like they invented slavery, but the rate of acquisition and the range of transportation was on a scale never seen before. You can say that there was always slavery in Africa, and there was, but that shit was small potatoes.

And yes, that does not absolve the tribal kings of selling other people (or their own) for petty bribes, but you can't pretend the "whites" aren't primarily responsible especially in the late 18th and 19th century, where it also became an issue within countries themselves and how slaves were treated.

Sure, it's stupid to think that it's just a bunch of white dudes with guns stomping into Africa and forcing people onto boats, too. But the whole "Africans did it first!!!" excuse doesn't fly for the scale of colonial slave trade.

>strawman
Every goddamn time you see slavery in american media it is "le ebil whitey".
I don't think I've seen a single american mainstream movie depict how much shit they did to themselves before white people came to africa and during the height of the slave trade.
The only example I can recall is stuff set in modern times, like Blood Diamond, because it is undeniable due to the fact that IT'S STILL FUCKING HAPPENING THERE.

>>82785452
To be fair within America itself it generally actually was "le evil whitey" for a pretty long time. Americans just aren't remotely interested in movies that aren't about themselves, so the African narrative is kind of lost.

I'm liking it a lot, especially the casting. McShane and Stormare in particular have been brilliant, and Whittle grew on me. The CGI is a bit wonky sometimes but the design is good enough that it doesn't matter.

This is coming from someone who gave up on Hannibal because the writing started to become very grating, even though the visuals were amazing.

>>82785452
>Le slavery is still happening today myth

Yeah that was all shut down by the 60s and Roots did a good job depicting African slave trade to Europeans.

And white people in America were evil from 1700s to 1980 so yes sir this is truthful. Stop getting butthurt.

Neil Gaiman has a similar approach to Terry Pratchett: Gods gain power through faith. The more people believe in them, the more believable they become, which is a feedback loop.

The idea of the new gods (and some of the old ones) is that time spent believing everything you see, taking it for granted, created them. A "faith" in Media, for example.

Because it's Bryan Fuller directing the show.

Why are people surprised that faggots always put this kind of shit on screen when they get the chance?

He made Hannibal all about homolust as well, even though it makes no sense and it isn't like that in the books.

>>82764606
American Gods seems to be an exercise in style over substance. It's nice but kinda disjointed.
Shadow Moon is really passive for a protagonist. Some of those disconnected scenes like the Anansi and the egyptian afterlife are pretty good in their own right.

How is the book like? Similar?

Nice visual style, but ultimately empty.

>>82786558
Believe me, Shadow from the show is a fountain of energy and emotions, compared to the book's Shadow

>>82785685
>>82785772
Also, as mentioned by Wednesday when discussing how there's a Jesus for every race, when different cultures have their own ideas of what a god is like, new versions of that god come into being.

It's what coming to America actually means - somebody makes a sacrifice to the god in America, an American version of the god is born. I seem to remember Shadow meeting the original Norse version of Wednesday near the end of the book, for example.

He's got one eye, the ads have him with a pair of ravens and Czernobog calls him Wotun. If they haven't worked out who he is by now they never will.

>>82786757
I think he was referring to the fact that he's not the real/only odin.

>>82786757
>Czernobog calls him Wotun
Wotun isn't exactly a word that most people have heard

>>82786776
Fair point. You could say the conversation featuring Mexican Jesus implies the existence of other Odins too, though.

>>82786820
It could also have meant that people saw Odin differently and not the fact that there is more than one.

Did I say that, you complete morons? I was refuting the claim that whites enslaved those blacks in the first place, they didn't, slavery was already a thing, and they offered monetary incentive for it to increase, it's still a horrible thing to do but it's not what the guy I replied to was saying.
Therefore it doesn't make any sense for those blacks to be completely surprised at having been enslaved because in all likelihood they had already been slaves for months.

They have to be specific to that god of war? Because plenty of soldiers in africa have gods of war they worship.
>American soil
But isn't Odin european?
>Means Wednesday gains squat from it
How is he still alive then? I mean, nobody has been dedicating wars to Odin for like a thousand years.

>>82789184
The battles have to be dedicated to Odin for him to draw power from it, it has to happen on American soil because Wednesday is the American Odin. OG Odin in Scandinavia is fine.
Wednesday is still around because he fucks virgins and cons people, because that's treated as sacrifice and trickery as well. That's a hamburger and small coke compared to the five star banquet a battle would provide, though.

>>82789184
the point of the whole shit the character says leads you to the idea that if people believes that killing each other will make him stronger,then it will do it.
also he says he is old as fuck but he has never been aout of murrica.
