American Gods

I liked it.

I'm fucking done with this stupid fucking show.

Each episode it's like a contest to cram in as much "Holy shit, look at all these evil white people!" imagery as they possibly can.

• Lynching the black dude. Remember lynchings?!
• Look at those beautiful gay muslims, who are also immigrants, and totally aren't blowing up anything right now! Muslims are just oppressed by white people, like the rest of us!
• White nazi (I mean, Vulcan! Totally not nazis guys!) gun worshipers in small town Virginia!
• Look at the poor innocent mexicans crossing the Rio Grande, oh shit, the white dudes with christian iconography on their rifles showed up and shot Mexican Jesus! Man, white people just suck don't they? Especially the christian sort.
• Dane Cook!
• Slave ship revolt. Remember slavery?!
• Media and Technical Boy and Mister World are all white as fuck and doing their best to fuck over all those immigrant gods and their people!

And on, and on, and ON. OK we get it! Zhirever made this show is a gay immigrant otherkin and has to make damned sure we know how much white people have been the most evil force of evil in the history of evil.

Fuck this show with that Djinn's 20 inch sand snake. 5 minutes of good dialogue from Mad Sweeney over 6 hours of show is no reason to keep watching.

Bro, are you triggered? Did they violate your safe space?

America is based on white people fucking everyone else over until we're on top. It's called AMERICAN Gods. I do like when it triggers the alt righters or NSJWs or whatever you fags are called. FeelsGoodMan.

Lol u so fuckin mad

This show is good

His god must be a gorilla, because his jimmies were rustled.

Rofl.. from one white male to other, that's the epitome of white male fragility posting up there.

If even bringing up those things makes you think the show is somehow bashing white people, you are more of a snowflake then any 'otherkin' I've ever heard.

rofl at that post..

you may want to read the comments section American Gods introduce first of MANY Jesus characters | Daily Mail Online lots of like minded folks.

Is it faithful to the book? If so, I'm cool with it. It's when it's injected for the sole purpose of virtue signalling that it would annoy me. That being said, I'm a pretty vocal anti-SJW poster and this show has not triggered me in the least.

Almost all of those things are faithful to the book. Haven't seen the latest episode, but I think Vulcan is an addition, I don't remember him from the book.

That djinn's giant hog? faithful to the books.

I think you're way too sensitive. The stuff is surely there for you to read into, if that's what you want to do, but it wasn't the intent of the author.

Well if you go looking for political meaning in any vaguely present day show, you are going to find something, but to watch the whole thing while counting the commited political injutices is fucking insane. It's a show where a bunch of old farts gods get driven around USA and weird shit happens. I find it very much an American thing to think your shit is the center of the universe, the rest of the world doesn't give a fuck. We were murdering people for being the wrong shade of white for millenias, big fucking deal.

Dead Wife and Mad Sweeney need a spinoff, but thank god for the change of tone in their scenes, otherwise the whole thing would be way too serious. TBH I think the Vulkan cult worked, maybe a bit too much on the nose with the armbands, but as far as taking the right to bear arms for sacred, it's good.

For me, this last episode was like the final straw...

Seems like Wednesday pissed on your Cheerios.

The Laura / Sweeney / Infrit guy B-story is a wonderful addition. Thoroughly enjoy the giant ginger git.

I've been calling my wife a Leprecunt for the past few days now.

Really enjoying the added bits to flesh out the story.

I recall seeing on IMDB before the show premiered that Pablo Schrieber was in most of the episodes and thought it very odd since his character is not a huge part of the original book. I wondered what they could possibly be doing in order to justify having him in that many episodes.

Silly me doubting Bryan Fuller.
