Better than anything HBO has put out in a while.

like hannibal, yes

I enjoyed the first episode. Will continue until it disinterests me.

As someone who's never read the book and doesn't know what this story is actually about I thought the first episode was enjoyable.

Will watch.
That black chick with the unbirth scene was annoying though, they should have had at least picked a good looking one.

fucken Freddie Rumsen

I really liked it

her not looking that good is the point of the whole thing though

It's guaranteed to be shit after a season or two.

> The two are in a graveyard mourning their respective spouses, who died in a car crash while engaging in oral sex. Audrey, who has had time to mull the affair, is bitter and wants revenge. She argues that the act will provide closure. Meanwhile, Shadow is in something closer to a state of shock. According to Gaiman, Fuller and Green initially proposed that the fellatio take place, but Gaiman said he threatened to take extreme measures if that happened.
>“I’m like, ‘Okay, guys, if you do that, I will go and step in front of a bus, and I will leave a suicide note explaining exactly why this is your fault,’” Gaiman said. “They were like, ‘You really feel that strongly?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I really do. He would not do that, and it’s wrong, and it throws everything out of kilter.’ And they are like, ‘Yeah, but he’s just out of prison. Wouldn’t he want a blowjob?’

Everything is shit
So suck a dick
Nothing is universally loved

I wish they'd ease up on the music. Stillness and silence would make for a classier production. David Slade sucks either way

I liked the introduction, and will continue watching for swearengen

Thought it was pretty good.

this.

After the act.

This is wrong and you're a retarded fag

There's not enough source material for more than one season. Especially working on how close an adaption that opening episode was.

I liked it, and I really thought I wouldn't. Gonna continue to watch.

yea I was expecting some trainwreck but was pleasantly surprised.

Pretty good not amazing or anything. Might get pick up by alot after a while, like most Starz shows.

Based Fuller

Low-T cuck Gaiman has probably never gotten a blowjob from his wife

Anansi Boys is easily enough for another season and it was actually better than American Gods imo.

i got a feeling they are going to drag out Shadow's time in that midwest town for a couple episodes at least.

You realise that Gaiman regularly fucks his fans and has cosplay threesomes with his wife and Stoya.

I liked it, good casting overall (although I'm always a bit annoyed when American productions won't just cast Middle Eastern actors for Egyptians). Something felt weird about the sound mixing though, sometimes the dialogue was hella low.

They already confirmed expanded roles for half the characers including the Djinn and introducing Jesus. Also new gods like Vulcan who is associated with guns

They don't have the rights for Anansi Boys. The BBC do.

> including the Djinn

really? that shit was the only one that actually scared me in the book, that's cool

There's definitely going to be at least two. Season one s only going to cover through House on the Rock.

Pretty good.

Proof?

...

Gayman has been talking about writing a sequel for many years. He'll probably just give his sequel ideas to Fuller so he doesn't have to write the book.

Worth watching for Ian McShane. Dialogue is well written.

Just ignore the CGI.

The books meant to be coming out this year so I think he'll follow through, just depends how much the show influences the book, though he has an insane amount of influence on the show already considering that blow job thing

he fucked her in that

I hate Gayman because he killed setting
>all new "stories"
>Shadow MC again
Come on. His story is over. I don't want gary stu shittery anymore

that scene was hilarious. first she calls him a BIG GUY then she begs him to let her suck his "gorgeous black cock". Is Fuller /ourguy/?

...

To be fair, CGI is really fucking expensive, especially if the show is intensive over the course of a season and there are lots of one or few time use elements.

looked like Leftovers

I don't see them fucking.

I think you're thinking of a different writer.

>CGI is really fucking expensive
it really isn't if you're not in a rush. most of this stuff could be done by a single guy on a computer in india or korea but it'd take many months. studios are in a hurry and compete for very limited slots with a couple big effects companies, which drives the prices up and leads directly to those inflated capeshit budgets that'll destroy hollywood.

Gayman is buddies with HIV Santa Claus though. #grrmisnotyourbitch

>CGI is really fucking expensive
Not really. The prices are artificially inflated so the CGI-companies can make more money. Once the Chinese and Indians get enough processing power, decent CGI will be as cheap as dirt in the Ukraine.

>has an insane amount of influence on the show already
i was looking for it, but haven't seen his name in the credits, tho

He's executive producer, any and all changes from the source material go through him and have to be approved by him

preventing a moment that'd have been way out of character is hardly "insane" influence anyway

>fucking a pornstar
>not being a cuck

yea nah.

He wrote all the extended character roles, new characters and new scenes which were adapted for the teleplay by Green and Fuller

in a threesome. with his wife. at his wife's request.

sounds about as alpha as possible to me.

To be fair, the techno-god was originally a dark shades and duster wearing tips fedora autist straight outta the Matrix, so honestly adapting it to modern style is kind of okay.

that never happened, but assuming it did, its even double cuck.

>a woman who literally swallows semen and takes dicks for a living, a literal prostitute
>your wife requests she gets to join you two for sex
>your wife literally wants to bang another chick AND wants you to bang an actual prostitute

how is this not being a massive cuck?

weird-ass cyberpunk helmet thingie straight out of an early 90ies direct-to-video flick directed by albert pyun is "modern style"?

Because it fucking two women you fucking moron.

it's a meme show, taylor made for reddit

stoya isn't doing porn now. she's an artist and a writer. she left the porn industry after james deen raped her.

Need proof

I enjoyed the book, and I approve of the first episode, with the sole exception of the "Coming to America"-part, which I am certain would have been better if they'd stuck to the book. Of course, I understand the change, as most viewers wouldn't understand the method of sacrifice and the "eight-legged horse"-reference. Still, it could've been done a bit more tasteful IMO.

Main blacktor simply doesn't have the chops to keep this afloat.

Does cuckold mean something different in Sup Forums-speak?

There's one thing I don't get about the new gods is that the idea is that their power comes from people worshiping them, but people don't literally worship gods of TV and the internet. I mean sure TV and the internet are common in everyday life, but no one actually believes there are patron gods for them, like no one prays to the god of the internet to fix their router.

It depends, will Jesus show up and wreck everyone's face?

Complete, unadulterated shit. Bryan Fuller should be shot. Everything he makes is cheesy and terrible. Middlebrow and unwatchable.

Supposedly he's in the show, so maybe

He wasn't in the book

Jesus has a bigger role than in the book so probably. In the book he's too big to be dealing with the little gods shit and is backpacking in the middle east, or at least that's what we hear in an off hand mention

It's fucking a prostitute and letting your wife fuck and get fucked by another person.
Right. A former prostitute. My bad.
>everything I dont like is Sup Forums

I liked it. techno god was neat

What? do you think someone just types in "add explosion here" and if the computer has enough processing power it will do it?

CGI requires artistry and talent. The reason that CGI is so expensive is because it requires a lot of talent and involved work. Not because they require a lot of processing power.

And?

There's no way you can reframe this as him being a cuck, try as you might.

"Passive worship". If this was in the Malazan-universe, M00t would be an Ascendant by now.

Meant for

The line in the book is somethign like "I saw Jesus hitchiking on the road to Kabul, but nobody stopped to pick him up."

You're a funny guy, I'll gas you last.

last week finished book. it was all right but not worth the hype around it. will try to watch the show but eh..no real interest

Nah, some things we don't like are 'tumblr' or 'reddit', not you though, you're Sup Forums.

Interesting, thanks.

FINALLY someone who shares my hate towards this pretentious garbage.

...

as if anyone would worship him. and max few hundreds now and then thinking about sone guy would ascend anyone

>after a season or two

Isn't the book like 300 pages?

How the fuck do you adapt more than 1 season?

600+, as well additional scenes, characters and character roles written by Gaiman.
Should be about 3 seasons

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoya

I don't know either. Unless they really emphasize the war.

They need to just keep it at one season and just do the novel.

>Game of Thrones adaptation gets 10 episodes for 1000+ pages
>American Gods gets 24 episodes for ~600 pages

Jesus, no wonder GoT is fucking shit.

>ask for proof she was raped
>wikipedia article

maybe in the dystopian future we're creating it'll be admissible, but thankfully not yet

Games of Thrones it's like 600 pages as well if I remember correctly

You didn't specify that was what you meant.

>700 pages
>800 pages
>1000 pages
>750 pages
>1100 pages

An average of 870 pages per book.

Seems like American Gods has a sequel book, so about 900 pages for both novels.

Not convinced. Not digging the casting (but then that was to be expected, so willing to give it a pass) not really liking the tone shifts from the book (just look at the Odin summoning tale).

Not unenjoyable, worst ways to waste away an hour. Will have to do better.

There was an extended edition released a few years back (40 pages longer), and contains a meeting with Jesus in California

the book was a huge disappointment because it was shit while the premise sounded cool

the first and second seasons of GoT are pretty accurate to the books though

Depressing to read.

The 3rd and 4th aren't that far off either.

5 and 6 are where it jumps into full fanfiction.

It's stupid because instead of dragging a successful series for as long as possible until it gets boring like they usually do, they've instead decided to compact and skim it to make it shorter.

anybody just waiting for Ian McShane to say cocksuker?

Waiting for him to grow a beard.

after book 3 they had to start making changes though because affc and adwd just drag and drag and drag and nothing really happens

they fucked it all up but they didn't have much to work with in the first place

Instead of some half decent finale you'd rather have simpson tier never ending series?
