Should Social Media be treated as a separate god to Media in American Gods? I've had a few talks about this and people don't seem to agree. What does /tv/ think?

Do you think we'll get a social media only god?
>>
>>84274626
social media isn't included in media but in the internet faggot. he does a great job representing this cancer.
>>
can someone explain how you can kill a god with a sword if gods are created by people who believe in them? people still believe so how can he stop existing?

Nah, they'll kill one of their main draws offscreen between seasons. Don't be silly.
>>
>>84274626
I was thinking this, yeah. Normies literally worship facebook, instagram, tinder etc through their dedication to their phones
It's separate to watching tv/the news/films since they aren't worshipping the information they're girve, they're worshipping themselves and the platform that allows them to market that
And it's also separate to just technology

>>84274799
>>84276227
Neither of these are explanations in the slightest
>>
>>84274721
believing in them brings them into existence so if they get killed they'd respawn if people still believed in them. Worship gives them strength but belief gives them existence. People worshipped Vulcan but only by proxy (guns) but didn't believe in him so when he died he didnt respawn

>>84276282
If people believe in a god, and Im talking actual believing, it "dies" and then comes back after a while, see Mexican Jesus for example. The problem with the old gods is that nobody actually believes in them and they go through plots holes and shitty plans to get "praise". The plot of the book and series is how the old gods don't want to disappear, sure, if you leave them alone they could live for ever, but if they are killed, and that's what the new gods want to do, they wont come back.

We get a god of 'technology' who is a toad smoking twat. Yet he encompasses all the technological developments of the USA? Mediia is perfect. Technology is shit.
>>
>>84274626
I think Social Media would fall under Media's purview. I mean, the newspaper is or the town crier is media, and so arguably, this god has been around for some time and only now enjoys extreme influence. I think the myriad jesus' is a good example of how American Gods blurs the line between belief and lore, there probably is a 'god of social media' and could be portrayed as one of Media's daughters? Maybe some vacant little girl who spends all her time looking at her phone and taking selfies? Could totally happen.

Contemporary religion's gods have no reason to be a part of Odin's war, they are neither reliant on or threatened by the New Gods, that's why all the Jesuses didn't give a shit about what was happening at the party

WHERE THE FUCK IS LRH

>>84276282
Gods kill in a different way. Easter said that to Laura didnt she? So it makes sense gods can permanently kill each other. Belief formed the gods but they are not solely beholden to belief.

So I heard that although this show was scheduled for a second season, Starz has not and will not announce a release date, and that if it does happen it could be more than two years before Season 2 gets released.

McShane will be 77 years old when that happens.
>>
>>84286718
No. She's legitimately ugly and unfeminine. She was always a "convenience lesbian." Meaning she was really a dyke but didn't want to give up the convenience and benefits of being with men. It really shows in her unfeminine looks. Dykes can never hide it.

Oh so then you just have shit taste in women.

Based gays.
>>
>>84287047
Because NBC had input and didn't want Fuller to totally gay things up. Of course things changed in the final season, and that's why it got cancelled.

This guy is ratings poison. Even the ratings for this show prove it. It's hard to see how he keeps getting work. He must give a good blow job.

>>84287117
I never saw anything Fuller made before Hannibal, so it's hard to judge whether Season 3 was some actual shift in his career, but the NBC explanation makes sense. Hannibal started off great, but it seems like Fuller started giving the fans what they said they wanted, rather than, you know, being a good showrunner and giving the fans things they didn't expect or know they wanted, the way the first two seasons did.

This show just went to shit immediately out of the gate. The Laura character ruins the show. The worst part is she's barely in the book. At the end of Season 1 she already has more screen time than either of the main characters.
>>
>>84287290
Laura is an asshole and I love it.
>>
>>84286682
Actually in Satanism, men in masculine roles and women in female roles is sacrosanct. The visage of Baphomet is not a "satanic" symbol.

not that expect tranny faggots to have education enough to know this, which is probably why they're all starting to get pentagram tattoos
>>
>>84287350
You realize there's more than one form of satanism right? Apparently not.
>>
>>84286743
They spent $60 million dollars and could barely break a 0.24 in the ratings. There won't be a season two no matter what they said about it being renewed. That's why they're not announcing the release date.
>>
I still want to see that god of poop. It clearly should exist in the universe of this show.
>>
>>84287423
They already planned 10 episodes and a faster pace for season 2,I imagine it's difficult to get an ensemble cast like this together to film.So that plus writing out the script for S2 is probably going to take a bit.

This show is such hot garbage, is the book this bad as well? do they every explain what happened to all the other gods? or how some gods are reboots of others, like Vulcan being a reboot of Hephastus, (the Roman gods being reboots in general). what about the fact that Technology & Media are thousands of years old? Do any actual American gods appear? spoil the fuck out of it for me I dont care jesus there was more filler than your average fucking anime.
>>
>>84287598
Nah, it's probably never going to happen. They'll keep putting it off until finally they give some excuse about why season 2 is never going to air.

It will, because it's not a Starz show. It's an Amazon Show and it's doing well on Amazon Prime.

It is unlikely that it will air on Starz next year though.

I hope it will.I know fuller might be busy though.Wonder if amazon will pick up hannibal.

>>84288412
Hnnng
>>
>>84276285

this is the correct answer. It's what gives the new gods power over all the old gods. The New gods offer to re-brand old ones. The rebranding gives the old gods some power. Ultimately though, no one believes in them, so the new gods have control.

Are writers finally realizing that perfect at everything female characters like Rey are boring?
>>
>>84290658
Wish they'd find a mix.I didn't really have a problem with ruth though.
>>
The show has suffered because they made Shadow too emotional, too surprised by everything that's going on around him. I don't mind the other character changes but Shadow being such a gigantic whiny bitch baby is a really unwelcome addition.

>>84290658
Ruth is an asshole, but she's trying not to be.
