It looks more like the Ifrit just left the guy all his stuff, thus fulfilling his wish for a new life. Just like one of the storybook Djinns.

He was under a ton of pressure from his wife's family to succeed at selling in New York and also berated by them for failing.

Minor correction, it was his sister and her husband pressuring Salim, not Salim's wife.

If it was two women it would absolutely have been shown like that. The ear-muffs are great - have the effect of make Wednesday look so stupid and naive that you wouldn't think to question him as a conman.

The show's clearly decided that it's not going to let the CGI budget or time budget of a television show stop it from showing whatever it wants, photorealism be damned. Some shots are just going to be a bit shittier. Perhaps they'll get more money or a better production house next season? See also: that one shot of the viking longboat on the high seas, and the shot of that tree grabbing Shadow, both in Episode 1.

It was about time someone took a stand for dongs. I didn't think the obsidian guys looked bad, I think it just reminded you guys of untextured/bump-mapped 90s CG models.

Also at the very least it let us see fire cum internally. If the cumshot happened externally it would have lost a lot of its meaning. I would like to commemorate the fact that I'll never be able to run for public office now that I've typed that out. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 20:00 on May 15, 2017 |

It's definitely one of the few gay sex scenes on TV where it's implied that no protection was used. So basically mimicking how a lot of straight sex scenes play out. There's usually an abundance of what amounts to a PSA before gay sex happens in other shows, it seems (for reference: Looking emphasized it a ton aside from one encounter, which was cheating and therefore shamed). I thought the transition to the desert and the men becoming obsidian was actually really well done, and they pulled back far enough for the fire effects to look pretty decent.

Also, they reshot the scene because the djinn would, in the words of fuller, need a "candy cane cock" to make the angles worked as originally shot for penetration to work.

Really love this show. Neil Gaiman's fantastic writing, Swearengen's rambling wit, and the goofy rear end art direction of Hannibal may make this a perfect storm kind of show for me. I google searched Ifrit to learn more about the mythology and the first three things at the top were along the lines of "Penis Shown On Television, True Americans Clap, Bad Americans Protest in Horror." American Gods: "That's a lot of Penises"

Now that the episode has aired everywhere I can share some stuff from the Q&A I attended which I already posted in the other thread. Fuller, Green and Gaiman were on the panel along with Mousa Kraish (the Jinn) and Omid Abthai (Salim). It was hosted by GLAAD for what should be obvious reasons now. Mousa, who plays the Jinn, watched gay porn and called up gay friends to ask them about accurately portraying gay intercourse. When it came time to shoot, the director told Mousa and Omid how to act and Mousa got to use his new knowledge to correct the director on sexual positions. The dong was originally going to be 11 inches. The production designer started with that, not conceiving that anyone would want it to be a different size. Mousa and Omid knew each other before this show because middle eastern actors basically all know each other. They were extremely grateful they got to play middle eastern men who weren't terrorists or sidekicks. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 22:11 on May 15, 2017 |
