Opinions on American Gods?

Opinions on American Gods?

Also, Peter Stormare's performance was a 13/10 for me.

>watching media

>American Gods
>no american actors

What did they mean by this

Is Stormare even capable of going below 13/10?

dropped it after the 3rd episode, it's shit

american actors are dogshit and are only there because that's where the industry is

>muh arab sex

I think everybody did. When are they going to realize that most people don't want peenies fucking buttholes "normalized"?

I mean, the gay sex was hard to watch, but homosexuality is a pretty common theme in mythology.

now that you said it, i just go and rate that episode to 1 in imdb (like Black Sails 2x05, although it was far from this)

I could stomach the unneeded homosex, but fuck these slow-motion action scenes with gallons of blood being thrown everywhere are terrible. Do they think gratuitous violence is still cool and edgy? That shit is just distracting it makes the show seem cheap and tacky. I

Still on the fence about it.

Some changes from the book I'm thinking they're going to have a hard tile to leave up to later on.
Very self-indulgent directing that can grow irritating over time.

But then some incredible performances by actors that manage to carry things in spite of all.
Some pretty cool scripting if that's your jam (I really dig how they managed to leave up to the new gods all talking in clichés, for one).

Overall I'd say worth seeing, though I don't know about its staying power in current planned form.

And yeah, Peter Stormare killed it. Crispin Glover was very strong too. More than I expected. And may just be me, but I love the way Ian McShane overplays things with a hint of ironic contempt (Wednesday's, not his) when in the background.

he talks the same way in every fucking movie...

It's a great show and I think it's fun to watch. Although I wish that Czernobog was played by Rade Serbedzija,because while Stormare has the look,he is butchering the accent.

Yeah that'll show them.

The way people talked about the gay sex scene ("it's basically porn, amazing!") I thought it was gonna be very explicit.

It was nothing. I saw hairy legs and CGI penis and a bunch of mystical shit, but it was a lot less than what I was expecting.

It's very cheesy.

>CGI penis
>he doubts the existence of BIC.

It was just overly lingering both the scene as a whole and each of the shots, it's the kind of stuff you see in soft porn where they can't have the actors actually fucking.

HBO sex in general is generally 10 seconds of tit flopping then if it goes on any longer it goes on under covers.

That picture reminds of the one thing I irrationally can't forgive the show: Wednesday having no beard.

Sticking with his look, is it just me or does it sometimes look like the lighting makes him look blind in one eye? As he should be of course. I'm not sure if I'm seeing it because it's on purpose or because I want to believe.

Yeah he is

They made it look like he's wearing a prosthetic eye, yes.

It's a glass eye m8

>not realizing that this is the crux of the story
>america is not a good place for gods

>neil gay man inspires shlock

no thanks

no

the first 3 eps are kino, past 2 have been pretty boring

Five was better. Cheating whore's backstory seems to be universally accepted as the worst episode so far.

too much cheating whore in the ep. emily can't act worth a shit

Sunday's episode was incredibly fucking creepy. I mean, yeah, it's Crispin Glover so of course it was, but Jesus was Gillian Anderson deeply disconcerting. That entire scene was jus...yeesh!

They're pumping up the disturbing angle of the story which I felt was lacking in the novel, and I really appreciate that.

>>watching media
nice one, user

Pointless, throw away plots.

Laura Moon is a totally insufferable cunt and the actress who plays her is annoying.

The gay sex scene exited only for the purpose of showing graphic gay sex on tv. Gays love to force their shit on other people. Fuller is a prime example of this.

what is gillian even supposed to be? the god of pop culture or something?

I haven't read anything about this story, but so far the gods seem confusing. Like I'm never going to get a full overview of their form, function, origin, purpose, or anything in between. We might be left with a contrived fantasy with no proper world building, not sure yet. I'm enjoying the show, but I hope they don't leave the audience to decide exactly what these gods are, who they are, why, etc.

Heterosexuals on the other hand are incredibly private.

Heterosexuals are 90% of the population

All I understood is this
- they're created by groups of people dedicating their attention/passion to something
- they have supernatural powers related to what people worship them for
- their power is linked to being worshipped
- they have no real purpose or duty
That's it desu. I don't understand who the fuck is black dude supposed to be.

Compared to fags?
Absolutely.
Every single progressive should be forced to do an internship in an infectious disease ward, so they inevitably meet the unsufferable fag who has to describe in lurid detail every deviancy he has ever practiced, just because he's that big of an exhibitionist.

God's are created by humans, and survive on worship and adoration. They are the big concepts that we dream up and then concentrate our attention on. They can be the old gods from the old country (Jesus, Odin, Yahweh, Thor, Osiris, Czernobog, leprechauns, etc or the new gods of media, technology, cars, etc). There's no greater reason for any of them to exist other than that they do. And because they exist, they have all the basic needs that humans have, with the additional need of worship/sacrifices/attention.

What's the matter? Lefties only want to make everyone gay. Why are you being such a cis gender, heteronormative homophobic bigot?! Gay siding is beautiful and you should embrace it Drumpfkin! Go back to Sup Forums with the rest of the ignorant, racist white bigots!

By that token, there's way too many white people on tv...

The only white people there's too much of is white fags. 3% of the population, far more on tv.

Wednesday also gave a line about the old gods atleast giving something back for the sacrifice.
