Slight nitpick: He doesn't say "That's a lot of Jesuses", he says "That's a lot of Jesus", pursuant to the followup line from Wednesday that's something like "People need a lot of Jesus".

I don't know, i'll wait for the information to be volunteered rather than go looking for it.

I posted in the spoiler thread an interview where Fuller says that 100% of the penises in this show are CGI or dildos. 100%.

Also why not hire gay men to do a gay sex scene?

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"

Even factoring a 10% bonus for giant jinn cock, that was still maybe 15% the penis time of a normal Spartacus episode.

You know another thing I like about American Gods is that Gaiman continues the trope of the Hecate sisters with the Zorya sisters. I also like how Gaiman made up those characters and they have no basis in actual slavic mythology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorya ?

Encyclopedia of Russian and Slavic myth and legend disagrees with you.

He made up the 3rd sister though, that's probably what you're remembering. Mixing the slavic Zorya sisters in with the Hecate sisters or the three Greek Fates.

No it felt more like basically every segment that Death was in in the Sandman were it would talk to the dead and lead them to their afterlife (sometimes while trying on a really cool hat from the Emperor of North America) I hope we get more Death god segments.

Also I love that there are a multitude of Jesuses

Blink-and-you'll-miss-it but Death's in the book when Easter shows up. Maybe we'll get a cameo.

Yeah Gaiman just likes the idea of the trinity with the maiden, the mother, and the crone. It was great in the Sandman when the Hecate sisters were based on famous pop culture interpretations of witches.

Mad Sweeney is the breakout surprise of the show and could only be better if he were being played by Joe Gilgnun, which would also be a neat wink and a nod since Preacher was contemporary to Sandman.

I've personally found all of Pablo Schreiber's roles to have a strange but insistent charisma to them that has nothing to do with the fact that he is an extremely handsome man. :allears:

I may be remembering it wrong but when all the gods arrive for the final confrontation there are a few characters that were described as gothic. I always wondered why the endless would be there since they have no stake in all this.

He and Terry Pratchett influenced each other, though most mostly Terry advised. The premise of AG is also the premise of Small Gods though on the disc world, with a very cynical tortoise god, where all his worshippers only fear his church and have forgotten him. It's a satire on organised religion.

I've always hated him, but he's always played roles where you're supposed to hate him and he's really good at that. I think he's a good actor, if a one trick pony.

He's one of three actors on the show that are incredibly good at playing real capital 'B' Bastards

Ian McShane in Deadwood and Johnathan Tucker in Justified are the other parts of some sort of amazing Bastard Trinity.


I'm loving this completely batshit insane show, and am still delightfully amazed it got greenlit.

You weren't supposed to hate him in The Wire and he was good in that. Really sold a man slowly drowning without hope of a life raft. Maybe he's just playing assholes lately because that's what he has the pat fun doing.
