Can't believe they gave away the ending in an ad but I guess if you haven't figured it out by now you're pretty slow. Overall an 8/10 show

even grandmas love american gods

in all seriousness though i read the book a few years ago so i'm really digging it, gaiman thinks it's great, and it's so beautifully made.

also satisfies kevin bacon's demands for more dicks on tv

It's quality overall but there's some stupid moments where they get too obvious with the politics.

there were some good moments in the first few episodes, but the bullshit racemixing and casual forced edginess (dick shots) just accumulated to the point where I found it unwatchable.

i'll enjoy the day next year when i hear it isn't being renewed.

>I don't like this fantasy show because it has things I don't agree with in it

It gets talked about quite a bit and the live thread happens, even tho most people dont have starz and just torrent

I love how it triggers the special snowflakes in this shithole

What did he mean by this?

Did Odin stab Shadow with the tree?

Probably because there's only two episodes left in the season and next to nothing has even happened yet. Also I wish Shadow would wise up already his whole "Buh, what is even happening right now?" thing is worn out.

This show has a lot in common with Legion in that it's so pleased with itself for being weird that it just spends all its time luxuriating in its own aesthetic quirks that it forgets to tell a decent story.

If you want a decent story just read the fucking book. It's not a replacement.

I found Legion to be super boring while this is interesting

It's a fun show. Leprechaun actor is funny

>Legion: weird things happen that are nonsensical because LOOOOL MC IS CRAZY HE SO CRAZY!!!! BUT THAT'S HIS SUPERPOWER LOL!!!

>American Gods: weird shit happens that's all tailormade to each god's powers and abilities as well as reflective on what they represent

big fucking difference

I have read the book so maybe that part of why the obliqueness of it is so grating, I already know what's going on.

>It's not a replacement
that's a good way to put it, I find I'm not bothered by how much the show meanders because I already read the book. All that neat aesthetic shit just sort of fleshes out the established universe.

I really hope they get to film in the House on the Rock, I've wanted to go ever since I read the book

dead wife

>series called American Gods
>there are only two American Gods

HOW???? FUCKING HOW??????

>only 2

the copies don't count

it's a liberal soapbox. didactic and trite.

They're all the American version. Not copies; unique iterations

>trite

Sure, but making fun of America and it's nonsensical obsession with guns never gets old

it's a good twist but really shitty when only two of them are unique things that gaiman came up with himself, he was even lazy with some of them

>hurr god of guns? nah I'll just use hephaestus

I'm not watching a anti-american American Gods. If Fuller hates America so much is go adapt the fucking Koran.

I don't find it lazy, it's what every author does...find inspiration and put your spin on it. Besides, the creative process is always derivative from influence. I'm sure his original ideas owe heavily debt to an earlier influence, or they're just amalgamations of other stolen ideas

I think that makes it more interesting. Spoilering because this is kind of the whole concept of the book. Hephaestus, like the other gods already established in mythology, came over with someone, with people who believed in him. The point is that to keep on surviving they need faith/belief and that they find it in unorthodox ways. Like the Odin missile being proposed as a way to make millions know his name, or Czernobog drawing his power from sacrifice. In fact, the Vulcan guns/ammo/sacrifice concept is really fucking cool. I think it would have been extremely hokey if Gaiman had created new gods. This sort of roots it in our reality. I love that.

Same, I canceled my Starz subscription after the 4th episode. I will not be watching anything made by Bryan Fuller ever again.

read the book, actually kind of like the show

shame its filled with so much SJW propaganda

>le gay muslims and white murderers of mexican jesus

mexican jesus went out like a bitch

That's kinda what Jesus does.

Define anti-American. Two sand men sexing? Sounds American enough to me

>I think it would have been extremely hokey if Gaiman had created new gods

except Tech Boy, Media and Mr. World even if he doesn't count are absolutely the highlight of the series and show that the story could've used more modern gods as well

I think it was a good move to use established more/gods to compete with the internet age. Nice way to present the old/new world duality

There's three more.

You're totally right and I'm sorry I forgot to mention them in my post, because yeah they ARE really good and are another great example of the whole power of faith/belief/sacrifice concept. I just think that the old gods and why/how they exist is also appropriate and fascinating, and that Gaiman using them is not a sign of laziness.

I actually don't remember who they are, are you counting American Jesus?

Men in Black, Intangibles, Car Gods

Why did Anubis meet Dead Wife instead of the Grim Reaper/American Death?

its janky as fuck

How did leprechaun gold resurrect a zombie?

What two are you even talking about? How about Mr world, tv lady and internet kid?

>Masterpiece

The show is a joke. Mexican Jesus from the most recent episode was possibly the funniest most hyperbolic thing I've seen in a long time. The entire thing has to be a comedy in the way Hannibal ended up being.

I think the book is better but the series is not that bad, my only complains so far are that Wednesday doesn't look like the book describes him, I don't really like much of the OC they made for the show, and I feel they have condensated too much of the plot.

I want to see how they handle Sweeney's death, the Spooks, the House on the Rock part, and Shadow's dreams.

According to the book there is a secret horde of gold all the leprechauns take shit from, a pile of gold where the rainbow ends protected by the sun or some shit like that, he made a mistake and gave shadow the coin powered by the power of the sun, life and now he is fucked and will get drunk and die next to a trash can outside a bar

>Sweeney only exists to plot device whatsherface back to life

lel, also why is there an Egyptian theme with her? dead cat, Egypt casino, crocodile bar

Sweeney is more in the book and the series is still young, also, the theme with her is mostly OC of the series, the Egyptian gods have other issues besides her in the book. Also, before someone shitpost the usual "WE WUZ KANGS", the Egyptians gods in the book are also Black and they joke how they were not Black "back then" and how modern Egyptians don't look the way they used to.

And that's been the show so far

>>Town full of evil white people

Boi, you are for a ride if they adapt the Lakeside story

Has a vagoo ever been shown on tv? Plenty of full on dick screentime on premium cable but all I've ever seen was bush

> not a single good white character in the show

I think they substituted the Vulcanfor it instead. The whole child sacrifice sub plot might have been too much even for this show

Legitimately the best show on TV right now.
By far the comfiest anyway.

Muslim gaysex and mexican jesus came out of nowhere, the latter scene being unexpectedly campy but I like it all the same.

Worst part for me is deadwife. I hate how 'quippy' she plays her character. It's not endearing at all. But Shadow makes up for it.

One of the worst shows I have ever scene. Ratings are non existent

>mexican jesus being shot by evil white vigilantes

really made me think

Prop guys not getting the full script? Alternatively, Wednesday was fucking with him.

White vigilantes dripping in Christianity imagery firing prayer bullets to Vulcan.

>It's not endearing at all.
To be fair, they kind of want people to dislike her. She's a cunt and they're playing that to the hilt.

Buddy, thats just the beginning

waiting for the rip to drop for this week's episode. so here is a bumpu

>it's nonsensical obsession with guns never gets old


I wonder if the people of North Korea and Venezuela agree.

>it's a "gay muslim cabbie fucks a dude for 60 minutes" episode
DROPPED

So, regarding some of the gods of the book

>Thor a hero back in 1932
>Horus went crazy and is always in Hawk form eating roadkill
>Ra is a vagabond and crazy
>Appleseed Johnny will probably be killed by Whiskey Jack
>Whiskey Jack will probably a hero

I don't know why they are giving so much screen time to Sheeba in the series when she is killed by the Internet kid in the book as almost "filler"

Also do you think Thor is back thanks to Marvel's or that doesn't counts as believe like the Paul Boyan or whatever his name was

Deadwife being a spiteful cunt all the time is seriously threatening my enjoyment of this show. Was she this much of a cunt in the book to? I read it 15 years ago and I don't remember anything except it being less good than Sandman.

She is not, she is literally just "dead". Personally, I felt she was pretty bland in the book and that was the intention, being a zombie and all of that.

where is the webm with the sex scene?

Okay bookfags spoil the shit out of me.

>Shadow is a god?
>Leprechaunbro will die?
>What's going to happen with zombie wife and why she sees some shiny shit on Shadow?
>Is Odin/wednesday going to get fucked?
>Is there some point where the story goes to shit?

>>>Shadow is a god?
Yes.
>>Leprechaunbro will die?
No.
>>What's going to happen with zombie wife and why she sees some shiny shit on Shadow?
Maybe.
>>Is Odin/wednesday going to get fucked?
Can you repeat the question.
>>Is there some point where the story goes to shit?
You're not the boss of me now.

Last weekend there was a late night torrent for episode 6.

I want to watch episode 7, is it up?

Pls help me

>Shadow is a god?
There's a reason Wednesday knows mommy
>Leprechaunbro will die?
Should be dead already
>What's going to happen with zombie wife and why she sees some shiny shit on Shadow?
Actually, in the book he's a man shaped hole in the world to her, because he's "not really living", but he is a beacon to her and she can always find him. In the end she gives her coin back to shadow and dies willingly after suicide-killing the bad guy
>Is Odin/wednesday going to get fucked?
Yes and no
>Is there some point where the story goes to shit?
In the book? No. In the show? Can't see how it can get any worse.

pls respond

rippers don't do it until later on. keep checking the sites, would guess in an hour or two it will be up if we go by last week.
and it was an ok episode, heavy dead whore wife episode with her playing two characters in this one. but we also get the lepercunt, so an upside i guess. also gay for djinns is gone now.
also hype for next week. chenoweth finally coming on and the nu-gods are in the preview too.

what is shadowpussy the god of? sadness and confusion?

you guys are fucking buttblasted haha

eh, he'll be back

He's Baldur

He's scraping the bottom of the barrel to make due, basically going for every opportunity he can.

Only allegedly.

>Son of Odin
>The viking visions he gets in the novella set in Scotland
>his birth certificate name is fucking Baldur
Thats one hell of an allegedly.

why do you do this?

Fug. Worked for me, I paused it to post it here, then it broke for me too.

its up you faggot

Bless you, faggot

its any page who i can download the torrent? any page of those i have dont working for now like torrentdownloads

Spot on.

It was fake. It's ep 6 again.

can someone explain to a compete idiot what wednesday was doing outside the bank?

>there were some good moments in the first few episodes, but I am insecure to the point where I found it unwatchable.
don't be a fag and just watch some arabs having gay sex you little homo

I liked it for the most part, the tone is a bit too inconsistent and the soundscape reminds me too much of Hannibal and how much better it was, but one thing that i find weird is the stereotypes used in the show.
It feels like the show 'wants' to use stereotypes, but also doesn't want to be called racist at the same time.
I mean you have Sean Irishman O'Eire, and Thor (Perun?) Tsarevich and the Tsarevna Sisters, characters so full of stereotypes i don't know if they can even be serious.
And not to forget the wetback Mexicans, gun-tooting Smallvillers, casino Indians and taxi driving Middle-Easterners.

he was taking peoples money.

banks usually have a slot for deposits, wednesday was saying it is broken and that the deposits would be safe with him

This show gets shilled a lot on Sup Forums.

Here's why

> Hey mang, the ATM and deposit box are fucked. I am here to collect the money for the bank. Here's a receipt and have a good day
> Hello, officer. Yes they know I'm here alone and unarmed, here's my boss' number

i thought that was the atm. how can people be so stupid, just go inside the bank

I dont think those countries have much love for america so why wouldn't they?

People went there to put money, the cash their business got that day, in the bank.
He pretended like the slot for that wasn't working, so they would give him the money instead, making them sign for it so it seemed more legitimate.
