book shadow is called shadow because he just silently follows the important and interesting characters. idk if that is literally in the book or just my takeaway from it, though.

trailer discussion is fine, like the trailer where laura moon comes back to life as a zombie missing one arm, or the one with mr wednesday having a glass eye and two pet ravens.

This is a bit pedantic, and I don't think it detracts from the show at all, but the very end of Anansi's scene potentially misrepresents how belief and gods work. In the book, we get a number of vignettes of otherwise-normal people coming to America and bringing with them their beliefs. So it struck me as a little odd when the Anansi-Spider crawled off the jetsam being portrayed as his "arrival." Certainly, of course, other people that brought his stories with them too.

Regardless, while I liked episode 1, episode 2 surpassed it in almost every way. I'm really surprised how fast they're moving through the book, especially knowing where the first season ends. Though it may just be that I read it leisurely over a good long while.

none of the 'gods' obey any real mechanics other than they want/need/crave 'worship' in some form or other.

Wait, so the Ifrit became the guy? Why is death by one-night stand such a persistent theme in this show?

no, the human became a taxi driver. being a cabbie is sort of like an STI or an exchangeable curse.

drat right. Because - you know what? It was. 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.

loony libtard: forces themself to watch a 9 minute gay sex scene between two swarthies that morphs into the ending of lawnmower man so they can post about how progressive it is (this is when they actually masturbate)

I wish they hadn't tried to make Wednesday's name reveal into some huge deal. Gee, I wasn't sure which one eyed war god who talks to ravens he was already, so surprising. I now also wish that Ian McShane played Odin on the MCU as well. And appeared in everything I watch.

i am confident half of the thread still doesn't know.
