Trillhouse posted:So what happens on like, Indian Reservations? Since they don't worship Easter and have their own rituals and sets of gods, wouldn't their agriculture be fine? Pretty sure most people celebrate the spring equinox to some degree. They made a whole point about this not being a christian Easter, and resurrected Jesus is just a hanger on.

I wish they hadn't tried to make Wednesday's name reveal into some huge deal. Gee, I wasn't sure which one eyed war god who talks to ravens he was already, so surprising. I now also wish that Ian McShane played Odin on the MCU as well. And appeared in everything I watch.

Crow Jane posted:I once read a quote about how Jewish people sort of view their god as one who would respect/be proud of a bit of rules lawyering where religious laws and biblical interpretations are involved. As Judaism's direct descendant, it would make sense that there's a large degree of it in Catholicism as well. Can't say I disagree, tbh, and it makes for some of the cooler mystical bits of both religions. Protestantism is just so dry by comparison. Jewish rules lawyering is absolutely loving hilarious. I especially love the Sabbot Phone. I'd love to see a depiction of Yahweh looking over a phone and declaring it technically acceptable, which as we all know, is the best kind of acceptable.

Crow Jane posted:I think so, though they all kinda blended together into a blur of dramatic teenage murders after a while. My school banned them after a couple kids tried to use them for book reports and the teachers realized how insanely violent and smutty they were, and pulled them from all the classroom and library shelves I was such a dumb oblivious kid in middle school. It never occurred to me how hosed up those books were until I looked up at my parents faces after I finished reading my book report to them. It was the one where the high school perv timed a camera to take pics of the girls locker room shower and accidentally took pictures of a murder. Also cocaine was involved somehow. counterfeitsaint fucked around with this message at 11:25 on Jun 26, 2017 |

This reminds me of the pseudo April Fools joke about the Church of Google. Google is the closest thing to omnipotence that human beings will ever encounter and should totally be a god on American Gods.

Everyone she fucks ends up devoured, him saying nah you're not gonna devour me seems like a fair response. I mean, I know goons are desperately looking for someone on screen they can relate to, but you might be reaching a bit too much in this case.

I wonder if they have double backups for when both Tennant and Scheen and also their first replacements are all revealed to be rapers.

I think American Gods was going to be one of those shows to release a season whenever, like every two to three years, so they probably haven't shot anything yet.

Fuller makes good TV but at this point why would anyone even hire him anymore? If you bring him on, you've got like maybe a 25% chance of getting a single great season of a show that's critically acclaimed but with poor ratings before he bails on you, and basically no chance of getting a second season out of him.

I just hope that Fuller realizes that he is making a reputation for himself as someone you can't trust to stay with a project. Is she even really involved? I thought her son had taken over the vampire sex book empire entirely now.

I don't know man, if this show is going to keep moving at a glacial pace, it might be better to just wait until the season is over and binge it. Also: The Something Awful Forums > The Finer Arts > TV IV > American Gods: "How the gently caress is that an upgrade?!"

Other than the whole 'disappear for 2 episodes' thing, I wonder how much story they changed for New Media. I have trouble picturing Gillian Anderson being in that scene instead if she had stayed. Maybe if she was dressed as Madonna or something.

I thought the multiple eyeballs thing was cool.  The sacrifice thing burning down the Library of Alexandria was kinda dumb, and the network cable dildo loving New Media felt kinda silly and crude, even if I get what they're going for with surveillance and new media being uh, closely connected.

I didn't really know what was going on with the new guy either, but in an enjoyable sort of way. I'm curious what's going to happen with him, I guess his name is CEO? He was obviously human and grew up human, and I thought gods just sort of poofed into existence. Is CEO going to become a god now, or just a useful tool for them. I'm not really asking because I'm not going to read the CIA document of book spoilers that will be the answer, just commenting on the episode. Orlando Jones losing his temper and slipping into an African accent was pretty loving amazing, great acting. Might be my favorite part of the show thus far.

Were those the same dwarves that were in God of War? I don't know Norse Mythology but there can't be too many sets of dwarvish blacksmith brothers who make weapons for gods. I assumed Columbia was an earlier version of Media, the mannerisms were pretty similar, and I figured they really wanted to emphasize that the new gods frequently change and remake themselves, and that's why New Media exists and don't pay attention to all the silly nonsense about actresses leaving the show. Otherwise echoing the same sentiment as everyone else.

I've given up on this show going anywhere or reaching any conclusion and now I enjoy it more based entirely on the style of various old gods interacting in badass ways in modern America. I would have preferred that they had planned everything out ahead of time to last 3 seasons and then be over, so we might actually get a great conclusion, but if that's not going to happen I make as well enjoy this incredibly expensive production of awesome things happening until it suddenly comes to an end and stop complaining that they're not doing something that they obviously have no interest in doing.

Most of the previous episodes I could at least appreciate the style and world building, but that was kinda poo poo as an episode and awful as a finale. New Media's not even fun as a character you love to hate, she's just meh. We were supposed to understand what even happened? Shadow got sucked into the world tree and then they both disappeared and he saw the funeral home as a child's toy and wiped away all the cops which made them disappear and then the whole world forgot about the nationwide manhunt? What?

Orlando Jones was probably the best part of season 2, and that is a pretty huge loving accomplishment for a show that stars Ian McShane of all people. How a show survives loosing so many amazing actors will be interesting to see. Oh well, I guess it's back to selling magazines door to door.

Fire everyone and make Orlando Jones the new showrunner. In fact, cancel American Gods and lets just have the Mr. Nancy show featuring Mr. Wednesday because thats where all the good poo poo is.
