Are you planning to watch American Gods? Which God is your favorite?

I remember reading "American gods" a few years ago and thinking "man, there could be a movie, or better, a tv series based on this novel" and there it is. I'm so happy this show was created, I love everything from Neil Gaiman.

(Danish) Odin has a day of the week devoted to him, called Odin's Day, right before Thor's Day, and before Odin its Tyr's Day... As The subject we write about is Scandinavian old culture. the days above are in danish : Tirsdag, Onsdag & Torsdag. Freja= Fredag/Friday

But Chernobog is not inherently evil. Come to think of it, none of the Slavic gods are.

00:10 ;....and he co-wrote 'good omens' with Pratchett.... cant' leave good omens out sista' , especially if you know how they wrote it, they sent it over back and forth between each other and completed each others story... brilliant! (pretty obvious the riders of the apocalyps were Gaimans doing tough)

To my knowledge Anansi didn't STEAL the ability to have stories exist from the Sky God. He actually just went and politely asked for them, but the Sky God demanded a trade. In exchange for the box that held all the potential stories that could exist, the Sky God ordered Anansi to bring to him O-Sebo, the leopard with the terrible teeth, Om-Boro, the hornets who sting like fire, and Mua-Tia, the fairy who no men ever see.

Ty sir. I wish I would have come across this before I watched the first episode but I still feel it will help me understand the show a bit more now.

Have to admit at first I was doubtful of the show, but after the first episode I was like this is going somewhere. I'm always up for literature interpretation.

@PHENOXSPARTAN 6 years ago

I hope they add in Cernnunos(Or Cernunnos, however it's spelled), and other Celtic gods. It would be.... interesting to see how they would interact with other gods.
