>>83023409
Imagine you spend multiple millennia guiding the dead to their afterlife and suddenly one of them just disappears and goes back to living, it'd pique your interest. I think he's just along for the ride, but story-wise she'll be his way into whatever Odin's trying to accomplish.

Was that it or Odin's intervention in her death that triggered something?
As he said it the "circumstances of her death commit" him, not her life.

>>83023301
Yep though both traits shouldn't be even possible to work together. Her body would've been fucked from the strength that she was using unless Technical Boy's boys are fucking pinatas.

>>83020332
I'm glad I dropped this shit in the 1st ep.

I actually loved this episode

>>83020332
Is this a degenerate show?

>>83025313

I'm thinking Odin has something to do with it, if only because Munnin and Huggin sighting right before the car crash, but also, she's waiting for them in the hotel room... and while she can track Shadow down the way she sees him constantly, she couldn't be where he's going to be in advance unless someone passed the info first...

Now that could be Anubis or Thot - provided some power, but also very possibly just Odin passing the info down to them, preparing some move.

Kinda saddened on that casting choice - not that the actor is bad, haven't seen enough of him to really judge yet, but while Jacquel was certainly meant to be dark skinned (fit the representations), Ibis was supposed to be more ambiguous.

Is it me or is it something US casting have you problem doing?

?

>Laura wanted a pet dog so Shadow said he could be her puppy and the name stuck

vs

>You are like a lost puppy I think I'll call you that forever lol

Why the change?

In fairness, however, for an almost completely OC episode this could've been a LOT worse. Laura could be more "careless" in death, the none stop Audrey/Laura quipfest felt way out of place and character and WE WUZ GODS will never not wind me up, but the fleshing out of the hows and whys of Laura was interesting. Should've been 30 minutes max, though.

>>83025771
Didn't actually know the birds were Odin's, that makes sense. Although, Anubis was going to send whore to the dark, right? So if Odin planned out her death and handed her to Anubis, he'd have done it with the expectation that she'd be destroyed (because there's no way he planned on Shadow getting the coin and dropping it on the grave, is there?) making her destruction his entire plan. So why help her now she's back?

>>83023484
I want to be able to know with confidence this is just shitposting but...this...is just shitposting right? They didn't actually do this, did they?

>>83026124
>this...is just shitposting right? They didn't actually do this, did they?
Why not both, anon?

>>83025956
Says the frogposter.

>>83026124
Technically it's embalmingfluidposting.

>>83026105

When your plans go haywire, you change the plan.
And letting her finish whatever she has to do seems like the fastest way to let Anubis end the job.

Munnin and Huggin is just my interpretation, might just be a red herring, but then it does seem that way given how everything about Shadow leading to those events seem to have been planned (up to his chaperoned time in prison).

so how much am I going to hate this show if American Gods is one of my favorite books?

>>83020413
it was kino you fuck

>>83026408
Eh, might hate it quite a bit thanks to them changing Anansi's backstory and a couple other things.

>>83020413
It's the exact same scene, but the context is completely different, and the cliffhanger is not the same. Episode 3 cliffhanger was
>Wait what the fuck how is she alive?
while episode 4 cliffhanger (if you can even call it a cliffhanger) is
>What's gonna happen now?

>>83026408

As a fan of the book, I think it's hit or miss so far, but if you can forgive the misses, I think the hits make it all worthwhile.

I pretty much don't like the cinematography and directing, aggravating at times, but the actors make up for it.

The checkers game with Czenobog alone makes it worth seeing I'd say. If that doesn't give you a desire to see more I don' know what will.

>>83026408
It's a ride, anon. Some bits have me going "FUCKKKK DIS GON BE GUD", some bits have me sperging out: "Why are they deviating? Shadow was supposed to say X here" and some bits make me fucking rage and immediately fast forward (Anansi, fuck I'm mad again). You can't not watch it though, so get started.

Yeah but... he's Odin. I don't see why he'd be so afraid of some zombie skank that he'd let her go about her business instead of dropping a fucking bolt of lightning on her and calling it a day. I suppose we just don't enough yet to really speculate.

>>83026510
>Episode 3 cliffhanger was
>>Wait what the fuck how is she alive?
No it wasn't. We already saw him drop the coin. We already saw the coin fall into her grave. We already saw the importance of that coin and had them bang on about it for five minutes earlier that very episode. Even before we saw her in the room we knew the coin had resurrected her because we were paying attention.

The way they changed Laura's character is kinda going to change the whole value of her later speech to Shadow,

Gonna be hard to take seriously the complaint of how she felt *he* was empty and hardly there, when *she* has been so much more so than him in the show.

He feels strongly devoted to her.

>>83026703

I don't think it's so much fear as much as getting rid of unwanted influence.

Spoiled, it's been told directly in episode 2. Not like is was ever meant to be much of a secret either.

>>83026845
Not a bookfag. Czernobog calls him Wōtan, another name for Odin. It's not really hidden, Anon. Don't bait bookfags into posting spoilers.

if him being odin was in any way a spoiler for you, i'd suggest reading up on mythology and paying more attention

Dropped this slow ass shit after the third episode (5 minutes of sweaty sodomy and lava semen was the most ACTION we got)

So is this one of those you need to have read the books to enjoy ?

I mean sure, McShane is great as always but the other characters are so one-dimensional that I can't even give a shit about any of them.

>>83026105
>So if Odin planned out her death and handed her to Anubis, he'd have done it with the expectation that she'd be destroyed (because there's no way he planned on Shadow getting the coin and dropping it on the grave, is there?) making her destruction his entire plan.

I really doubt that he planned anything beyond her death out. Mortals usually don't come back after that.

>>83027287
Yeah but Anon's theory was that Odin was the reason she went to Anubis. If he was sending her to Anubis the only reason would be because he knows she ain't beating that feather and what awaits her after that.

>>83026845
how did you not know it was Odin, they almost out and call him that. They DO call him Wotan but just from the one eye and the ravens you should know him to be Odin.

>>83026105
Seemed like it wasn't planned but rolled with it plus
>many is the man who would take any version of his lost love
>rather than leave his love lost
>He will say thank you

Assuming thank you here refers to faith in the gods involved.

the book is "better call saul" tier in terms of a slow burn.

>>83029466

I think he's technically Everybody.

>>83029408
I know, I've read the book. Granted, I read it like 10 years ago, but still.
Anyhow, I've liked the episodes so far, but this one did not move the plot forward at all.

My hope is that we're finally going to have a definitive answer on who the nameless god in Vegas is.

My pet theory for years has been that he's Hades.
Either way, I'd love to have an answer on that.

>>83029654
It is very clearly implied in the book and even the series who he is.
Gaiman has also confirmed it.


>>83029497
It's pretty much a road trip book with mythological beings.

>>83029774
I don't even remember what Gaiman said about it. Maybe he doesn't even know it himself.

>>83029774

Isn't the strongest theory for the nameless god is that he is actually Mercury. Continuous expansions to the theory also puts the nameless god as Shadow's mom.

>>83030252
>Continuous expansions to the theory also puts the nameless god as Shadow's mom.

Things have been getting out of hand with the theorizing!

First time I hear about Mercury but then never been connected to the fandom. Wouldn't make much sense to me.

Especially given Mercury's place in Western esotericism.

These episodes work best when you can marathon the season

Honestly I really like this episode. One of the only flaws with the book was that shadow and his wife didnt really have a personality between them. This episode characterized them really well as a well meaning but ultimately short-sighted pair. Sure it didnt move the plot forward but it very strongly defined the wife and helped us understand the mindset of the show's version of shadow.

8/10 honestly

>>83022876
Watch Rust And Bone. It's the only way to be sure.

Honestly too much of the episode was wasted on her, you could have cut about half that shit and kept the same character development.

There was some good character development and the the bit a back story was a nice touch, the other half hour of filler and shit seemed a bit of a waste. Honestly it felt like an excuse for the cliff hanger.

The bit where she Zombied and lost/reattached the arm happened at about the same time.

Anyone else get a bit of a WTF/HA moment when it looked like Anubis was setting up to shove her in the hot tub?

>>83026408
Good start, a few rocky bits. A lot of focus on the sex scenes and over the top gore(lots of blood and arms flying off). The actor they have for Odin does a damn good job.

I would say its worth a watch but you will probably skip a few scenes.

Anansi for example goes on a rather meta rant of future abuses. The dude is not a seer of the future, how the fuck does he even know that? Why is he even bitching about that when the current events of that time period are already shitty enough?

>>83027189
Nope. Poor fuck was set for life with the coin and dead bitch wont hand it over. He is going to choose between slowly fading away and a cold whiskey soaked nap.

Shits kinda sad.

I just can't find him credible because of it.

Hugin and Munin Named for thought and memory. The two ravens that bring Odin news of the world.

They are likely a fair part of how Odin knew so much he shouldn't about Shadow and Lora. Probably not a sign of his interference, just his interest.

Like Hannibal, this show is a triumph of style over substance, but I find it an entertaining piece of nonsense with engaging characters.

Much as I hate niggers, Shadow is one of the least nigger niggers on television right now, and as for the gay sandnigger buttfucking demon fire cum and vagina vore sheboon, well they're just fantasy elements unrelated to the disgusting politically motivated shit that television pukes at me every day.

Was he meant to be pulling some kind of trick in that shot, with the notes? Or was he just buying something in a more showy than normal way? I couldn't see anything tricksy, but I ask because it focused on him while he was doing it. Am I looking into it too much and it was just showing him being a personality?

Sorry for being retarded.

>>83020332
I was promised a lot of cgi erections in this show. They couldn't at least get a cgi dick in Emily Browning's mouth? That's the whole reason she was put on this earth.

well I just started watching

even if it's not faithful, I feel like it at least does the mood and atmosphere of the book justice, and that's enough for me

>>83047907
nope this is the show's way of fleshing out Laura's character more

Gaiman explained that he's happy that with the show, he can explore more of hsi female characters in this story because he was unable to in the novel

I think Kristin is afterwards when Shadow and Mr. Wednesday escape

I get that they needed to flesh out her character, just a shame it had to take a whole episode before we get back to the good parts. At least Thoth and Anubis were in this episode.

>>83038036
pretty sure he said ibis & jackal

>>83025946
But they don't, they had a modern Egyptian woman who died and was taken by Anubis. It's more this weird half expectancy thing Americans have of Ancient Egyptians.

It's frustrating because while WE WUZ is funny Ancient Egypt was diverse as fuck and there were (a few) black dynasties, but the majority of the dynasties were from the direct region (with only the last few being white).

I don't know it's just America's inability to find Middle Eastern actors for anything, or what.

OR could be they just don't want to deal with the endless baboon shrieking that will come if anything remotely not blacked is cast related to Egypt, just look at the reaction to the shitty movie gods of Egypt.

>>83049356
Gods of Egypt had like 99% white gods though, not actual Middle Eastern actors either

saying that they should all be black is stupid, but so is casting a Danish guy

Americans just see "diversity" as their own country's diversity supplanted everywhere

This show has mad style. Also I probably laughed harder at this scene and the framed photo of the dickpic than any other show in 2017.

almost dropped this show last episode but i'm glad that they went with something a lot more straight forward this time around

There is only so much 'world building' and episode filler I can handle in one episode

Shadow
Ibis and Jackal
Anansi
Zorya Polunochnaia

>>83049953
basically yeah, but the show explicitly paints her as someone you should despise

How much gay and/or erect dicks are in this episode?
How much pointless sex is in it?

I'm considering dropping this because its spending too much time on pointless shit.

>>83050067
It's a good episode with no erections.

>>83049953
You're not supposed to sympathise with her at all, just understand her motivations

>>83050067
The Coming to America bits are far from pointless, but there's no dicks in this episode

When's Bernsen gonna show up?
Haven't seen him since Major League.

>>83050067

There really only was a problem with episode three because it had two parts that were functionally 'Coming to America' parts even though Jackal is apparently a mainstay character

I'd argue Sam Black Crow is pretty likeable, but yeah, it's a show about GODS and gods tend to be bigger than life but not likeable

Oh, that's true. Not sure why the Djinn bit wasn't a cold opening, but I suppose this episode didn't get any.

Anansi stole tigir's testicles, that monster!

It does spend its time meandering on pointless shit but it's mostly a woman looking bored for twenty minutes to get across the point she's bored.

>>83049953
I don't think that's the case, Laura's problem clearly was that she had a clinical depression, but instead of seeking some professional help she just waited when some catharsis magically heals her. Ironically, she got it in the end, with catharsis factor being her own death or near-death of Shadow.

>>83050226
I have no idea, not a bookfag

I just thought the Coming to America sections were like world building for other gods that might be introduced later or just to bolster the mythology of the show

I know but she's so cute.

>>83049959
Wtf did Mr Wednesday do wrong?

>>83050303
Well wasn't the first one for Wotan/Odin/Mr. Wednesday? I imagine we'll get ones for Czernobog and Sweeney soon enough too, I imagine they're more there to explain why these guys are in America to begin with.

>>83050339
The last episode implied he killed Laura.

I really hated her blond friend too for getting over her rage so easily. Fuck this literally gay ass show. Wasted an episode only to end up waiting for the next week. We already knew she would come back to life from the first episode. The flashback should have been condensed into 10 minutes so we could start the actual interesting parts instead of dragging out with a bunch of unnecessary shit. Anubis was good. How they met was good. Her cheating and prison was good.

Didn't need to watch everything.

Wait so all this happened because Shadow dropped Lucky Charm's coin on her grave?

>>83051691
There was Kali, briefly.

>>83052098
That was no ordinary magical coin drawn out of the air by a leprechaun.

>>83051938
Yeah, his casting is fine. It's more a gripe against general Ancient Egyptian casting.

Am I the only one who thought that Laura is going to eat Audrey? I through her stomach ached because of zombie hunger and she wanted some brains.

>>83051938
No he wasn't.

The races saw 4 different races in the world white, black, yellow, and red (they considered themselves to be the red people).

None of the Egyptian deities (at least the main ones, though there's hundreds of minor deities) were depicted as black. Virtually all of them were depicted as the Egyptian "red" people.

Blacks were depicted differently in Egyptian art and almost *solely* as slaves.

Pic related.

But blacks like to culturally appropriate Egyptian culture even though it was distinctly a Middle Eastern, not theirs. Current Egyptians are the closest match for the ancient ones and they're red-ish skinned Arabs, not blacks.

Blacks were in mud huts and eating bugs with their best invention being the pointy stick.

Forgot to include the picture showing how the races were depicted. Egyptian art does not depict blacks usually in any other role but some type of slave.... blacks rarely, bordering on never, held high positions in Egyptian society.

>>83050227

A bit later but >>83026724

There is a change, and it's significant enough that other changes will have to be made, or things will stop making sense (or anyway mean something else altogether).

Straight out of the sun's treasure cove.

>>83052394
>>83052441
I realize Egyptians had many colours my only point is Anubis was depicted very black. Look it up, most of the artifacts were black faced

>>83052975
Do you men his dog head? Because his body varies in art from jet black to pale yellow.

>>83052975
Well, the head was a black jackal, I'm aware of that, but ever depiction I've ever seen, when depicted as a man with a jackal head, he is Egyptian "red" rather than the jet black ink that they used to depict the sub-saharan negroes.

Question for those who had read the book - how do you think, why Laura saw Shadow as literally shining? Was it because of Sun coin or because after death Laura sees Gods in their true nature, and Baldr is a god of sun, depected as being so beautiful that light shines from him?

>>83033586
Because Atheism is fucking retarded in a world/reality where Gods exist.

>>83050339
Selfish, backstabbing cunt with an overinflated ego and sense of self-importance. Ayyyy great, likeable character. Amazing redeeming qualities.

>>83051567
She was actually B L E A C H E D though by the BWC.

>>83052098
>>83052191
It was a magical coin representing the sun itself, which as explained later, he shouldn't have been able to get and it was an accident. You can deduce that it basically makes you immortal (in terms of protection), and shadow just dumped it onto her grave. Which is why Zorya had to give him the moon, a lesser protection, but at least something.

>>83053243
No, if anything, it's the other way around. These gods exists merely because some people still believe in them. If nobody believed, they would seize to exist. So unless you want some retarded, bitter, old faggot messing with you for no discernible reason, drop the idolatry.

>>83052400
>Show is called American Gods.

This is blatantly untrue. Nubians in particular are clearly shown as a different race, but there's no annotation of slavery with them in particular (or any of the other races there, really). Part of what makes the WE WUZ shit so annoying is that there's been Kushite dynasties, Ptolemaic dynasties, but mostly dynasties just from the Nile river delta.

It's these kinds of weird misinformation posts that makes talking about Ancient Egypt such a fucking disaster.
