New Media is vapid, stupid, overly sexual, and obsessed with power, just like new media is. I can see how such subtlety may not register to TV IV Goons, the group of people who couldnt figure out that Mr. Wednesday was an aspect of Woden on a TV show called American GODS, a show about GODS.

Chernabog posted:When the book was written social media was not a thing yet, so while I'll miss Anderson I am actually glad they took the opportunity to bring the character and plot to the present. The tentacle scene was in line with other stuff that the show has done and it was obviously meant to be creepy like "new" media and surveillance are in the real world. Or a more graphic visual on New Media being in bed with Surveillance. Like seriously, do y'all who bitch about shows like this even take a second to think about your criticism before you smash your face on the keyboard?

The idea behind Argus was that he was charged by Hera to watch over Io, who was one of Zeus' fucktoys. The thought was that because he had so many eyes at least some would be awake at a given time. He actually does make a great god of surveillance.

I just don't get the complaining about this show in this thread. How many of you, before this episode, knew any version of the Buile Shuibhne? There is so much mythology and social commentary on this show but apparently there's not enough explosions or some poo poo? I just don't understand y'all sometimes.

1) that spear isn't gone. It's in the Sun's Treasure, the Horde, the Pot O'Gold At The End of the Rain's Bow. All you gotta do is kick the poo poo outta Sweeney and he'll cough it up. 2) So far the only way that gods can die, that we know of, is by suicide or by starvation. Seeing how I double he's starving (St. Patrick's Day in Chicago or Boston?) and Shadow clearly killed him, I'm guessing the Mad King will be back.

So has no one else noticed the "Somewhere In America" liners hidden in scenes, like when Thor commits suicide or right before the black kid in Cairo, IL gets busted for drugs?

wormil posted:Orlando Jones was good but his slave story wasn't integrated into the storyline so it was like episodes of a different show inserted into this show and made the series preachy, not better. Seems like they could have written him into the story better but the show kinda sucks anyway so I don't care. ...what the gently caress are you even talking about?

Jerusalem posted:It happened under the old showrunner yeah, but the new one is the guy who told Orlando (or just the world in general and Orlando had to read it like everybody else) that "being angry" isn't productive for black characters and that as a middle-aged white man he was the one who could best write from a black male perspective. The writers for This Reality are just really phoning it in nowadays.
