Crow Jane posted:Didn't Mad Sweeney get an origin story though? With the Irish girl who came over as an indentured servant? It's been like five years since I've read the book, I could be completely misremembering. Yes, there's a "Coming to America" bit that explains how Mad Sweeney showed up.

The railroad god is in the book but IIRC he doesn't really do anything other than get mentioned in a scene.

It was funny how Mr World couldn't stop himself from tipping his hand to Shadow by repeatedly asking him if they had met before. Also casting two people as Mr World and Low Key makes sense because you just can't do the same thing as in a book where you have Mr World show up and just not mention what he looks like/have Shadow overhear him and then go "he sounded familiar but Shadow couldn't place it." muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 19:09 on May 29, 2017 |

At the end of the book at the battle between Old Gods and New he explicitly lays out that Low Key and Mr World are the same guy. It was part of Odin's plan to have both sides play towards his goal. IIRC though Mr World wasn't specifically called out as a New God in the book, he was just the head of the organization working with the New Gods.

He was still called that in the credits for the first episode, they just never said it out loud.

Ibis and Jacquel. Medullah posted:I guess maybe it's because I know a lot about Norse mythology but I was talking to a non book reader about the newest episode and (as I mentioned earlier) I was surprised they revealed Wednesday's true identity so early. He was confused, and still doesn't know. In this episode Mad Sweeney calls him Wotan but that still might be too obscure for some people.

You know, I don't think the book ever implied that Wednesday manufactured the car accident.
