Why is nobody talking about this? I realize GoT is back but this show is seriously golden.

Once Upon a Time for edgelords

Except it's literally not? Have you seen it or read the book? It's on par with classic novels and the very best of television.

I didn't think the book was that good, specially the end and his weird obsession for that carnival area or whatever it is.

I thought the concept was better done in Sandman

Nobody is talking about it because it sucked. Definition of style over substance. Shit, unlikable, boring characters. Next to no plot. Bryan Fuller jerking off every episode with eccentric visuals.

The book was decent but the concept was always great. This show could have been awesome but it wasn't, at all.

weak ass troll

Because the season ended with nothing much to speculate on. We just don't know (inb4 book) happens next and we'll have to wait and see.
It's not like GoT where there's a 1000 characters that you can guess the fates of.

When the episodes were airing we had discussions about it, multiple threads a day
Mainly because Sup Forumstards would get absolutely buttblasted over it and had to vent and sperg in here

How was it Sup Forums related? Never seen it

Because they decided to stretch a single book out to five seasons, meaning nothing goes anywhere for the first eight episodes and half of the screentime is given to a character who's barely in the book and is transformed into a generic depressed misanthrope (with super-strength for some fucking reason) to justify the additional attention.

Also, purely as a book-reader, I think pretty much all the characters have been butchered. Even Shadow.

Less laura, more shadow and mad sweeney and change the whole thing, the book's ending was absolutely garbage, change odin's plotline, add more gods obscure or not. Maybe less dick shots

no this was one of the worst shit nuggets i've seen in years.
and i fucking love brian fuller. but this is ASS.

>more nigger shadow
fucking why? doesn't he have a career in softcore porn to get back to?
he's so fucking bad user. i never want to see that shit again
just cancel the entire thing. tried and failed. better luck with sandman.

Main character in book is native American and he's black in the show. There were also a few BLM type moments with one of the gods giving this weird speech about racism to black slaves on a boat. Also, the main character gets lynched in a tree.

eh i wouldnt consider that BLM. I thought it was a great way to introduce Mr. Nancy by getting them angry but also tricking/killing them in the process.

i thought shadow was supposed to be Baldur or some other norse god. where did you get native american from?

So a nog gets lynched and Sup Forums isn't happy about it?

>a show where for once the black guy gets cucked by a white guy
I'm surprpised Sup Forums wasn't all over this

it's not that good. the first couple episodes are ok until emily browning comes back from the dead and ruins the entire show with her horrible dead face acting

i don't mind shadow being black

and the boat scene was ironic because they literally killed themselves

>thinks characters have to be likeable
>complains about visuals in a visual medium
You have to go back

I'm just saying what Sup Forums faggots were whining about. Not my own views.
Odin is his father so I assume the native half comes from his mother

...

Shadow's ethnicity is deliberately ambiguous in the book. The only thing that's definite is that he's half-white on his father's side. He's described as having "cream and coffee skin", yet Whiskey Jack refers to him as a white guy. Sam thinks he's got some Native in him, but isn't sure. Also worth mentioning is the fact that his mother died of a sickle-cell disease, most common in black people.

...

/r/ing those screenshots of reddit threads where they're all talking about how they only go on Sup Forums for Sup Forums GoT threads

>Main character in book is native American
He's not supposed to be black? I've read the book twice and imagined him as black.

see

This show is great because it finds a new way to shit the bed every fifteen minutes
Can't wait for S2

>tfw half white and half black irl but get called white by most people

where i live amazon or whatever is buying off all ads before youtube videos and the teaser features this brow dude saying
"oh you`re wake
lets rob a bank"
then some nigger chore or something starts playing every single time
every day
at least once a day
i just hate it

My favourite show of the last 6 years or so. Amazing. Loved every minute.

I like every character, even fucking Dane Cook was good.

>It's on par with classic novels

>complain that nobody is talking about this show
>a few posts later cry about Sup Forums instead
jesus christ man get your head checked. they have been living in your head rent free for years now

this show is actually quite redpilled too. lots of normies won't understand but you and I can slowly see the subtle redpilling going on.

It shows a black man being lynched, and is anti SJW/Tumblr/MSM with it's portrayal of media and the internet gods.

This show glorifies traditionalism and nationalism too.

So far the only bad part about the show is an increasing theme of anti-Christianity and forced feminism, but hopefully they will remove it in the second season after enough backlash.

>So far the only bad part about the show is an increasing theme of anti-Christianity and forced feminism
doesn´t sound like something that I would enjoy honestly. plus there is already so much shit that I have plans to watch, read and play so I don´t really need to waste my time with another new show as well

>but hopefully they will remove it in the second season after enough backlash
i will never understand this mindset. forcing a producer/director to change course threw screeching loud enough will drain the spirit out of the show, even if it works.
thats why i can´t enjoy modern shows. everything is organic. every creative checks what the fanbase complains about online and changes to their whims accordingly and then the show ends as a butchered mess

Just read the book. It's not a masterpiece, but it's very enjoyable, does a better job of following up on its premise than the show does, and doesn't feature the things that the user you replied to has listed.

Awful show. Total garbage. I truly hated it.

Emily Browning fucking ruins it. She can't act and she's ugly to look at.

>reddit:the post
>"Sup Forums is just a boogeyman"

>Also worth mentioning is the fact that his mother died of a sickle-cell disease, most common in black people.
His mom is confirmed black.
When Shadow learns his true ancestry he thinks about that his mom is literally the opposite of everything his father like and list it.

also got gray eyes.

Someone here described it pretty well:
The book is made by someone who loves America and the show is made by someone who hates America.

Okay, cool. It's been a while since I read the book, so I'd forgotten that.

I've never had much of a problem with the casting of Shadow in the show, to be honest. Would have been nice if it was a little more ambiguous like it's meant to be, but that's kind of a big ask. My main problem is that he doesn't act much like Shadow at all. I suppose they had to change him to allow for their take on Laura, but seeing as I hate that element too, it doesn't make much of an excuse in my opinion.

Oh well. Not every adaptation can be a winner, I guess.

why is literally every fanart based on this book making shadow look like a white emo autist kid?
fucking embarrassing desu.

More like the show is made by someone who hates the book.

Thats some ugly art

>an entire episode of shadow's whore wife getting railed literally across the world
I like the show but it's definitely not golden

Check em

>white woman love the BBC so much she sees the BBC's aura after death

Because it's fucking shit

yes you are right to call him out for that claim, but please that image makes my skin crawl

It was shit. More than half the episodes were filler. Also the hardcore gay porno episode didn't help either.

Show makers ruined it with the most heavy handed misplaced social commentary I've ever seen in any work of fiction.

There is a scene featuring Mexican Jesus (I mean literally, he's fucking Jesus) getting gunned down by rednecks trying to cross the border to the US. Anansi turned from a trickster God into a walking Black Lives Matter fantasy that rants about modern cops shooting blacks and helps his people by...convincing them to set themselves on fire.

>all the Egyptian Gods are black
I mean some of them may have had subsaharan African origins but really?

Wonder if its just laziness as far as casting. That or Americans can't spot the difference between in appearance in people from different countries.

Either of those are plausible explanations but judging from interviews I wouldn't be surprised if the show runners think the Egyptians were all black. And somehow related to the West Africans that most blacks in the US are descended from.

Isn't convincing someone to set themselves on fire kinda classic trickster god material?

It is if it's meant as a trick. He was 100% serious about it as a statement to the evil white man though. And was clearly the show runners' mouthpiece. Besides, Book Anansi was better than that.

Because we already read it. AG is for men who can read. GoT is for babbies who had last read a book in grade school.

You realize most people that watch Game of Thrones have never and will never read ASOIAF right.

I was looking forward to the next episodes more than any other show when it was airing at one point but it just got worse and worse.
