Haven't read the book, but any chance this will be good?

I don't want to be THAT guy but...the diversity I'm see here is a bit...much
Jeremiah Harris
Bryan Fuller's the showrunner, so probably, that said HURR DURR NIGGER PROTAGONIST WITH WHITE GIRLFRIEND CULTURAL MARXISM KEKKEKKEKKEK

>Ian McShane as a God
How can it possibly be not good?
Leo Rogers
My hardcore SJW friend has been shilling this on Facebook a lot, but I'll give it a fair shake.
Xavier Torres
Better blame the faggot that wrote the book then
Charles Morris
Hannibal is plet tier at best
Jacob Evans
The book was a really fun read, McShane is great, and Fuller makes some nice looking shows. I'm sure it will at least be decent.
Hunter Miller
No.. Looks pretty faithful to the book and as far as I remember race was mentioned once while describing the character and then nothing really after.
Ethan Martinez
You're a plet.
David Ramirez
>heard the book is great
>don't know whether to read or watch
Jose Foster
>52%
Seems about right
Henry Moore
they might add stupid shit like that just for the show but Hannibal didn't have any of that so who knows
Asher Brown
>half of the people in trailer are white the other is black
that isn't ENOUGH diversity...
Jaxon Cruz
Looks like it might be good. Casting seems spot on (especially for Wednesday and Czernobog) but...
Easter is definitely not thick enough.
Noah Lewis
Just read the Sepinwall review
It's going to be KINO

The show looks a lot worse than the book from everything we've seen so far.
Nathaniel Bell
It's about the gods of foreigners. There's going to be some dark skin.
Zachary Campbell
SHADOW WAS SICILIAN WHY IS HE A NEGRO HERE
Mason Lopez
But..that was in the original book
And that book is really short. Also, the casting is perfect besides Easter. Christina Hendricks should have been Easter.
Chase Anderson
Go for the book. Show looks like it'll be as faithful as it can be but that may not be enough. Especially if they don't capture the comfiness of Lakeside, which they won't even get to until season 2.

Yeah, I'd put money on it being good.
Jacob Barnes
>race was mentioned once while describing the character
Shadow was racially ambiguous throughout the whole book. Some people thought he might be black, others thought he might be native american. So he was mixed race at best. I personally pictured him as native american when I read the book. Partially due to the name, I guess. Shadow Moon? Come on.
I'm also kind of worried that tech kid god is going to turn out gay. Because fucking look at him.

I've seen the first episode but never read the book. It is very high quality and I want to see more of it.
The first episode also has a woman grow enormous and consume a guy with her vagina. Is that in the book?
Jack Diaz
where did you see it?
Owen Diaz
>Is that in the book?
yes
Isaiah Mitchell
Why isn't he a nerdy fat kid?
Nathaniel Thomas
Yeah, that's in the very first chapter.
Henry Wright
I guess they thought the "hipster douche" stereotype is more relevant to the tech kids these days than the "fat nerd" stereotype.
Joseph Wilson
watch first, read after. youll enjoy both more this way.
this.
Ryan Martinez
Reading the book now.
I like the interactions with the various Gods, but I don't give a shit about Shadow at all. He has zero personality. Bella in Twilight had more character. Shadow's zombie wife is the best character in the book and she only has a handful of appearances.
Elijah Moore
it'll be heroes tier comicon panel crap
Benjamin Martinez
>Native American is blackwashed by a Euronigger
Brandon Taylor
Work.
If anyone has any questions about the first episode I can answer as well.
Jeremiah Richardson
I hope we get a nice long scene of Emily Browning sucking Dane Cook's dick.
Ryder Cox
he represents modern technology/the internet. when the book was written, that was the trenchcoat, katana and fedora faggots. now it works better if hes a normie. from the trailer, he looks like if tumblr and an apple store had a baby, which is perfect.
Leo Jones
fuckin this
Bentley Harris
I'm actually kind of interested in this. I hope like hell they actually use 'Who Loves the Sun' in the bar scene.
Chase Roberts
The book was great, Ian Mcshane can do no wrong.
Ethan Hill
If this is the kind of show that plays The Velvet Underground, I'll check it out.
Dominic Rodriguez
>mc is called shadow
wew
Would be a real shame if they ruined this masterpiece
Nolan Sanders
This. The book and McShane are both great. I don't know anything about the show runner but it doesn't look horrible. I expect season 1 to be fantastic at least. I don't know how far they can stretch the book though.
