DUDE FEMINISM LMAO

The first half of the episode was so fucking terrible. Also why is Odin so powerful anyway? He was worshipped in northern Europe before the advent of Christianity.

it's not a fucking reveal retard

it's literally his deceleration of war

where the fuck is mad sweeney

he's a leprechaun not a god

jesus christ how did Sup Forums rot your brain that badly? It wasn't "dude feminism", it's literally the opposite of feminism. Her power comes from sex. Yes yes, it goes "but muh men come in" but it's literally just saying that men have tried to control that sexuality which historically they have to be more mundane and strict. Her power comes from the dynamic of women and men being different, not equal.

fuck you hes my god

"Fuck it doesn't."

I lol'd

Are you retarded?

It really is a redpill episode, if you let it redpill you.

>DUDE FEMINISM LMAO

The fuck? The "feminist" character is clearly being represented as an antagonist. Even Anansi, the god of the black slaves, is a psycho retard.

The "good" gods are all from pre-Christian Europe, fighting against sexual degeneracy, the media, and modern technology. It's like a conservative's wet dream.

This, but more in general it says a lot about how retarded Sup Forums is that they think the "main" characters are the "good" guys

You're using the classic meaning of feminism, and it is pointless thing to do, if you want to participate in a conversation about modern feminism. And feminism isn't about "equal rights" for the past few decades.

imagine being his but slave

Better start buying Lucky Charms then, or he won't receive your prayers.

I'm really mad they fucked up Mr.Nancy so much. He was fun in the book, loved his tale about stealing the tiger's balls.

They might change him for season 2. But as someone who hasn't read the book, he comes across as very aggressive and chaotic.

I mean what was with the slave thing? It seemed like he wanted everyone to die.

He did. He wanted a human sacrifice to 'bring him into the world'. I'm assuming there were already slaves in the Americas that already believed in him, but not enough to create a new version.

>very aggressive and chaotic
Neither of these were character traits of him in the book.His shtick was being pretty likeable and he might've dressed in an odd fashion but he wasn't a theatrical faggot, nor was he obsessed with the crimes of white men like the series version. The only person who he really was an utter asshole to is his son from the spin-off novel.

>the crimes of white men
hes literally just spinning a story, stop being so ready to be triggered

question: if they really wanted to, could the jesuses at the party just put their feet down and destroy odin, media and technology? IIRC, I read somewhere that the main religions are like elder gods pretty much so they don't care.

I liked white Jesus. It would be kinda cool to see a story about his wanderings, similar in tone with Anansi Boys.

Well i watched the S01E08 as a first episode . muh gods are at wars against whoever means ''progress'' and the cinematography is cringe af, no wonder reddit loves this shit.

lol why does that man look so confused

Also, all the jesus is just ridiculous.

>destroy
He wouldn't be really Jesus then, wouldn't he? Or perhaps is there a version of Jesus created by the gunho rednecks from a few episodes earlier?

So we had to wait a whole season to find out what everyone already knew? After like 3 episodes of deadwife filler?

When will writers learn; human drama is fucking boring in a show full of gods doing political and murderous plotting played by top class character actors.

>Hey guiz, wanna see Odin maneuver allies and enemies into place with his sexy voice and schemes? And the mysterious Mr World played by enigmatic freak Crispin Glover?
>You do?
>That's wonderful! Heres more deadwife, only now its olden days and shes talking oirish! Isnt that great!

>brian fuller
>hedonistic hollywood gay
>indulgent cg homosex
>style over substance like most peacocking homogays
>utterly soulless
>conservatives wet dream

sure.

Mohammed was the prophet, they believe him to be the messenger, but still a man. Or maybe an elevated demi-god, like Leprechaun.

However Allah would definitely be up there. He is their actual god.

"You don't have the juice." Said that millennial tech god that's shitting on our fucking heads.
He has the Jews.

I wouldn't mind so much that they took so long telling their intro stories of they were actually interesting. The latest one was just: sex god, couldn't handle some competition, ran off, got offered a stake in tinder handling the marketing. But nooo, they have to get their slo mo orgy shots in there.

Blame the tech god for the slo mo, you dip. No one knew what a slo mo meant back in Sumerian days.

Admittedly I didn't give a fuck about bilquis and would have liked it better if they went the book route but I thought the episode was pretty solid

Was it kino?

I would say wise, rather than good. The old gods want to control people's lives the weather, like you parents control your life when you are a child. You don't know why you just have to believe they know what they are doing. The new gods just want more and they get that by feeding off of humanities base desires for the same. It is without purpose.

I'm actually really really enjoying the filler.
Or rather I'm really enjoying the fact that they're taking their time traveling from place to place.

Road trips are incredibly comfy. Even moreso when done across America with fantasy elements peppered in. When I watch it I actually feel like I'm in a state between dreams and reality just like Shadow.

I think you have had one too many blue pills, my dude. Time to detox.

>The latest one was just: sex god, couldn't handle some competition, ran off, got offered a stake in tinder handling the marketing

Actually this dense. It was a story of how female power comes from sex and how men will always seek to control or minimize that power (which though commonly said by feminists, IS true).

And it was about the rise of the Islamic governments and how Iran restricted women's liberties greatly after the Islamic fundamentalists took power.

And lastly, Technical boy wasn't offering her market shares in Tinder. She's a goddamn sex goddess. It's a commentary on how dating sites are marketplaces for sex where a sex goddess could be sufficiently and easily worshipped to the amount that she likes. He also revamped her looks and made her young again (the age of most of the gods is metaphorical, the younger ones are still worshipped in some capacity, the older ones are simply figureheads from another era).

Is it really wisdom to refuse changing with the times? Humanity is progressing in a certain direction, why shouldn't their gods as well? If anything, they represent conservatism and 'the old ways'.

Also, the new gods have given them plenty of opportunities to come into the modern era. Bilquis was sleeping on a street, diseased and starved. They didn't need to help her, but they did.

You must be talking to yourself, kid.

It is if humans to irresponsible to look after themselves.

S I X T Y M I L L I O N

No. It was pretty much porn.

It's fine to have sex scenes in shows, but Jesus, that took it to an uncalled for level of graphicness...

This show is really good and I really like it, but there has been no show that's ever tried this hard to appeal to liberals in the history of television. It says a lot about how good it is (I really love Neil Gaiman and Ian McShane, and all the cast is golden) that I'm willing to overlook such frequent and extreme liberal pandering.

But I will say this much, the djinn had an impressive dick. That looked like 8 damn inches limp....

He didn't revamp her looks, she did by eating their souls through her vagoo.

And yes, those themes were blatantly in the story. My point that it was unnecessarily long you fucking autist.

Honestly, why would you take someone's post about excessive slo mo orgy shots and accuse it off being a thematic criticism? Get your head out of your ass.

I think he was talking about the fiery eyes.

And yet somehow other shows manage to adapt a whole book into one season beautifully. See Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel, a book that's about 35% longer than American Gods, did it in seven episodes.

Humans aren't irresponsible at all though. The latest episode shows just how much the gods throw their weight around, while humans are leading happy lives. If anything, the gods are irresponsible.

The liberal boogeyman you have in your mind doesn't actually exist.

I don't think liberals out there are actually hungry for man penis on TV, Muslim or not.

This is just another example of an age old tactic (the shock tactic) movies and TV shows use to make a name for themselves and differentiate themselves from other shows. Most recently used successfully by Game of Thrones. The producers don't have any agenda in mind other than making money. They're not liberal or conservative, they have no inherent values of their own (just like the new gods in the show). They're just thinking of the bottom line at the end of the day and whatever can garner them the most money or attention.

This is where conservatively minded people would argue that despite this, stuff like this are eroding our values. I disagree though. It's just a bit of penis. That's what some humans look like in their natural state, who cares.

I like both shows.
But British shows have way more experience with condensing shows into fewer episodes.
And I'm honestly enjoying every minute of American Gods so I'm not complaining.

I don't get what the fuck is wrong with extreme liberal producers/writers...

How hard would it have been to just do an adaptation of the source material and leave your personal agenda out.

This and Bill Nye were ruined because of it, modernizing the old Bill Nye show wouldn't have been difficult and was the original formula was a proven success.

The legacies and hard work get tarnished because of tarnished because of self righteous halfwits who feel their own agenda is more important than creating the best possible show.

What personal agenda was in American Gods?

Fuller wanting that Djinn dick

>Leave the agenda out and keep it like the books
>Everything that conservatives are demanding a safe space about is directly taken from the books

Also shut up faggot no one cares if you get offended

It was a sex scene, who gives a shit?

>enjoying every minute
>6 out of 8 episodes are just filler
Pack up and go home lads, the medium is dead

Dude, the context of the show, will book, is the modern world going to shit.

And it doesn't matter who is responsible, short attention spans, rampant medical illness, multinational corporations starting pointless wars for profits. It is bad news and and the old gods want to do what Wednesday said in the latest episode. Take away their toys so they realize that the super market isn't a magic portal to infinite food.

The book was written to appeal to, as Tyler Durden says, a generation of men raised by their mothers.

>Conservatives literally advocating excessive censorship of tv shows they don't like because they're offended
Way to be the exact thing you complain about yet again retards

Are you really this daft?

Look if someone has personal beliefs, that's cool and they are entitled to them. But when it overruns the core thing it is attached to, that's when it has become a problem.

When I commit myself, one hour a day for a television show about American gods. I expect to actually see the plot unraveling, action or visual effects scenes.

What I do not expect or desire is the deadwife getting more than what her allotted time should be. Going off on SJW narratives and feminist monologues. The level of filler was absurd and Fuller was clearly not the right man for this project.

There was very good reason this show had abysmal ratings and each week it continued to dwindle.

How fucking hard is it to give people what they want instead of what you want....

Jesus destroyed the temple with the false worshippers in a fit a rage

I agree with everything but the lady paragraph. When it takes up so much of the show that it takes away from the story, I care.

I don't even watch most modern TV shows, but I enjoyed American Gods.

So the medium is dead in spite of it.

So watch something else you idiot. Not a single person is making you watch this

>watch American Gods because I liked the book and wanted to see supernatural shit happen
>drop the show because of all the shitty filler and all the liberties the show has taken

And to think I was hyped as hell for this bullshit, damn shame

You seem to be whinging about a perfectly normal phenomenon. This is an adaptation to TV, of course there are going to be differences. They might emphasize or encourage those disparities as well, if they feel it might make the show a better experience.

But complaining about the dead wife "getting more than her allotted time" just seems petty. Also, have you not noticed the 'feminist' character has been introduced as a significant antagonist? She's the "bad" guy.

I watched in spite of it, that's how much I enjoyed the visual effect work, the intrigue of mythology and if the climax of action will occur.

I probably won't watch it next season, but I'll still shit on Fuller for misappropriating $60 million for being more focused on pushing an agenda, instead of making an entertaining series.

She is also a sociopath. As was made clear in the scenes portraying her before died.

Jesus is to nice a guy. Gabriel, Michael or the Big Man upstairs could probably fuck shit up.

I honestly don't see a reason why anyone would watch the show after reading the book. Mystery is what made the plot interesting, the fact that the reader is only ever aware of as much as the protagonist is and that made you want to keep going.
Without the mystery the story just feels dull, especially if it's in a tv show format and you have to waste time with filler episodes.

>Bilquis is in a bar for a date with a man she met online. She takes him back to her place and into her bedroom. They undress and he tells her she's perfect. She asks if he doesn't think she looks "spent" and he replies that she is sexy. They begin to have sex with Bilquis guiding him. She asks him to worship her with his words and body and to pray to her. He worships her with his words as she starts to ride him. He prays to her and exalts her as she keeps riding him, swallowing him from the waist down, telling him not to stop and to give her his body and his life. She finishes consuming him with her vagina and relaxes, rejuvenated from his willing sacrifice.


CRINGE

yeah and everybody puts sex in shows now, so what the point besides some clear lack of originality

As just recently said in the Jesus episode, every different iteration of Jesus was created because people saw a different face. While the Islamic (abrahamic god) has no face or bodily manifestation so I assume he gets no body.

Also, the executives probably vetoed it.

>and they are entitled to them.
Only liberals speak like this.

You can read the book in a couple of days and they want to make 5 seasons so...

Christians let's do a survey.
What do you think of when you think of God? Or how do you imagine God to look like?
Pic related is how I imagine God.

Would've given me a boner if the supposed sex goddess wasn't a hideous nigger bitch.

Shouldn't he just sort of walk by face covered by a big ass flame. Jesus should just be like " Don't mind him he's cool"

Butt Hurt Euro-Fag detected

That could be, I don't affiliate with either side. I might have more "alt right" views, but I don't care to call myself one or ever associate with them.

The gay sex scene was a bit much for me, since no one wants to see abdul and jabar the cab drivers naked or fucking each other. Then to have it drag on for as long as it did. This is coming from a guy who has had multiple relationships with guys.

Mohammed is a prophet, not a god you utter fucking cretin.

Plus no writer with any common sense will risk his career for portraying Mohammed/Allah on film.

This, it did go on for way longer than I thought needed.

I loved the book but this show is just boring and entirely too Fuller-y. It feels more like a spin-off of Hannibal than the book.

I imagine her like in dogma. So cute and perky!

im completely ok with adaptations being adaptations, but im still bummed about two things:

1. anansi is far better in the book
2. not enough murmuring about nothing in particular during the road trips

>Also why is Odin so powerful anyway?
I think it's a mix of respect and power since he was the first god to sacrifice himself. Same way Jesus is so powerful.

He chased the sellers out, he didn't destroy the temple. That would have been irresponsible.

Besides, Rome destroyed that temple after Jesus's death, since Jews didn't learn to not host their insurgent meetings in the temple in the interim.

probably way behind you lads but
1.did I just see graphic gay sex for the first time ever?
2.where they muslims/muhammed
3.how did this not cause riots or have the muslims not seen it yet?

seriously man they did that attack just for charlie hebdo drawing a cartoon and this show gets away with muhammed fucking a cab driver or was the driver muhammed? this show is just crazy.

A djinn ain't muhammad. And the guy is just a cab driver, not a god.

was it literally muslim gay sex fire magic? this screen I am using is old as fuck and really dark and I really could not even tell it gay sex but looked like some cum fire?
I never expected to see something like that on a tv show.

Are you from india or something...

Just really bad at typing on new keyboard and could not see the scene clearly with a shitty old screen,I would totally bn OK with flags for Sup Forums tho if that's what you mean.
actually all boards could use them when you think about it.

it was shit

how did apple know to escape??
