I loved the book and I think the series did a wonderful alternate take on some story-elements. The series is obviously headed towards a different kind of finale, and I really wish we would have gotten one more season. My guess is that Technical Boy would have remembered that he is one of the Old Gods and that Shadow Moon would have found the wisdom how to defeat Wednesday while hanging from Yggdrasil. After all: In norse mythology, this was precisely the sacrifice Odin originally made to earn his power: Being hung from a tree, Odin learned the power of language, of speech, of runes, of wisdom, of writing, of storytelling, of how the world works and how to convince people.
Season one showed a lot of promise, and fleshed out characters like Laura and Sweeny. I believe the original show runners were fired, so the lightning caught in s1 was gone.
@@Mandelbrotmat funny, in the Malazan books he's referred to as 'the bird that steals'. Might be a homage to wisakedjak, considering the author is an anthropologist .
Reading other comments it seems that the whole show is him recruiting gods for a war (I havn't watched it), so i honestly might have to watch it, as i always feel with shows/movies that have a pantheon of different gods from different religions that they always skip over the individual gods and just get straight to fighting or something, despite the fact that each one represents a complex culture/history/religion from various points of time and places on earth. Might be a show for me ngl, i think it makes sense that recruiting such complex beings isn't easy, and a war between gods would take a while to ramp up.
I got slightly halfway through the book and I put it down. I just couldn’t get into it, the supernatural stuff was way too subtle for me and the book just meanders to and fro not really doing anything. I wanted to like the story. But what story?
🤣🤣🤣🤣I couldn't continue after season 1, peeked at season 2 but you're right story development way too slow! It's just expensive tricks and sex....I'm like "meh! Gonna watch Romulus & Remus"
I think he was talking about the Anglo-Saxons but since William took over and many ways Frankofied them I dont know if that argument Jack said was true at all
Didnt read the books but the gods seem more human than anything else in this series understandably lack of worship i cant explain it gods dont seem godly
Yeah I'm pretty sure the first scene of the whole show clearly implied that Odin's followers did not want to be there a single second longer than they had to be lol
I just found it interesting that hes blaming Odin for the slaughtering of his people and the theft of their land when his people had been doing that to eachother for thousands of years. Must have been asleep I guess.
Wisky Jack: It was your people that slaugther mine. Odin: You mean the one from above the skies that pompous long haired hippie. My people met yours first but we did nothing blame christianity dont blame me.
That'll happen when they pump the breaks on the plot to talk about race politics because 1. That's what everyone does now and 2. It's way too short a book to fill multiple seasons like this
Everything I've seen came down to production issues and stars walking mid season. Oh, and not having a show runner for season 2. Further, how does trying to milk 3+ seasons from what amounts to a short story figure into things?
Yeah, its really sad and aggravating. Its only ever mentioned of what white people did to them. Nobody ever mentions that the native tribes were always doing the same things to eachother for thousands of years.
It’s how one has there own spirituality purposes and beliefs in their own everyday way of life, the Sun & Moon are spirits and Trees are alive giving oxygen , the Vikings died charging at the Indians believing what they believe in did we say none sense no practice your ways they did and they died
Shadow: "What Destiny?"
Shaman Whisky Jack: "How TF should I know?!"
🤣💀
Pretty much how every medicine man/chief replies to crazy questions lol
A network needs pick this show up and bring it back such a awesome unique series.
Yea show was great til they fired Orlando Jones he was the one writing some of the content apparently they didn’t like how he was writing anansi
@@MackTheMadman Jones. Orlando Jones. And I agree.
@@MackTheMadmanOrlando Brown as Anasai is a chaos level nobody is ready for 😭😂😭
The book finished
Greene is such a great actor! I wish he were in more prominent roles, the recent Wendigo movie really screwed up by not featuring him more.
This was a golden Show.
He is such a great actor.
2:12 I thought he said Wisakedjak, I remember hearing stories of him when I was younger. Old Algonquin tales
Aanin from across the border, an old teacher of mine taught us about Nannabush in our Ojibwe class. Similar fella, life of them stories.
Kinda fitting that Graham Greene is the one playing Wisakedjak considering he played him in Clearcut
Anyone have this randomly in there recommendations
It’s an add, bezos paid for it to be here
No not me
@@MoaxLycan this sums it up lol
Yeah random
Yep
I'm sorry that you guys got canceled I wish they would bring everyone back and give you at least five more seasons
I’m reading this right now it’s epic. The show really got the casting right.

I like the concept of this show very much, that gods are created by what we worship

Real question is where's Thor.

I loved this series, and Amazon needs to continue it!
Punctuality? Virtue of the board
😂😂😂
What destiny?
How the f should I knowing?😂😂 that’s funny
I hope we get a Season 4 🤞
No
Only if they bring back Nancy and possibly even Sweeney, that's the only chance they got
@@Artorion I'm all for Nancy coming back but not Sweeny. I hated sweeny.
? They ruined it, why would they continue? Stop consuming garbage, that's why they keep doing it.
It was cancelled well before your comment.
The bird song is great.
Literally my favourite book. Don’t think I can watch this :/
Yeah you should not watch it. There's some great scenes but they ruined it lol
Season one and two had an atmosphere 3 just went full simple jack

came here looking for this comment
The problem with the show is the same as with the book, it just didn’t seem to go anywhere
they got too distracted in fleshing out side chaacters (which they admittedly did an AMAZING job of) and forgot about sticking to the main story.
If you think that’s a bug and not a feature, then maybe this story isn’t for you

Dang jack really hates the others odin and the rest of gods old and new 😓
Can you blame him?
I'm soo glad he got to play this role. Canadians know.
@@RecoveringChristian All sides of Americans know of the Thunderbird It’s a Religion all along
He doesn’t hate all the other gods just Odin and his followers and descendants
@@MackTheMadman which makes 0 sense cause the Norse settlers didn't last long in Canada......maybe one generation if that...
I want season 4!!!
Third series and he is still going round asking for help...
Is it a bad series?
🤣🤣🤣🤣I couldn't continue after season 1, peeked at season 2 but you're right story development way too slow! It's just expensive tricks and sex....I'm like "meh! Gonna watch Romulus & Remus"
Trash show I stopped watching after season 2 which was bad enough
Season 1 - amazing
Season 2 - fails to recapture the magic
Season 3 so far - a decent improvement but won't bring back any fans it lost from season 2

@@Satans_Little_Helper Its amazing that i can imagine Woden actually being Al and it wouldnt break the lore at all.
Season 1 of this show was absolutely sensational...the rest though..characters being written off, recast & the plot taking a dip.
What's the music?
As a nordic, I find it tragic that they use a nordic icon to personify western agenda of Machavellían assimilation. But at least they are trying.
I agree.
Wdym? How are they doing that. Explain further?
@@draco_1876 it wasn’t the Norse who drove out the native Americans, we kind of chilled around Nova Scotia for a few years and left.
@@KrasseOdaVonBayern Yeah Ik I’m just asking this guy to explain further
I think he was talking about the Anglo-Saxons but since William took over and many ways Frankofied them I dont know if that argument Jack said was true at all

No hate. Love the red green show.
Is The All Father wearing Uggs??
When you've been around as long as The All Father, comfort is a must
Wodins beard
I just came to say here that in the thumbnail one of the characters had looked like Donald trump have a great day.
Between that perm and the writing Anansi off. I think they sabotaged this show on purpose.
Fiancé? Slight detour from the book then.
Is season 3 out
4:12 who is she, i didn't get her name correctly
Her names Cordelia

Bring it back
Love this show but i hate what they did with Shadow's hair
The actor Ricky Whittle was going bald so he got a hair transplant ... not anything to do with the show

Where is a bald dude? Ouch, i meant bold dude.
Yep
Lol I’m from Milwaukee
Shouldn't he be blaming one of the Jesuses or something instead of Odin?
I mean Norse pagans didn't even exist by that point in time
he specifically called him by his Germanic name not hit old Norse, referencing Europeans
@@Wolvesrage80Well, mainly those from central Europe and of course England.

Turns into Donald Trump at 3:02. Truly scary
I can't unsee it now 🤣
Wait, is he saying that vikings colonized America?
The vikings visited North America 100s of years before Columbus did.

Has there ever been a depiction of Indians where they didn't cry about losing a war? It's always they same script no matter the show.
Yeah, its really sad and aggravating. Its only ever mentioned of what white people did to them. Nobody ever mentions that the native tribes were always doing the same things to eachother for thousands of years.
@@SvendleBerriesA war between Indians would have been different to them than a war with an outsider

Natives are not a monolith. Tribes are outsiders to other tribes.

They even have the replacements in the movies where is all the people who was so called slaughtered bones
It start off decent, but the woke just kept on seeping in. I couldn't stand watching it shortly after season 2.
What Supernatural nonsense and garbage.
