American Gods is a text book example of a series that demanded to be cancelled. A half of the book mostly became season one and then they strung out, delayed, prevaricated, dithered and went off on tangents for 3 more seasons. And the audience left, the actors cycled out and it got cancelled. An ignominious end to a series so far up its own backside it couldn't just tell the story it existed to tell.
@@marshall3b hahahah art isn't subjective, art has different mediums but means skillful or the best, as in to be an artist is to be the best at a given task, skill, craft etc.
@@marshall3bAnd adaptations should be at least somewhat accurate, otherwise its like being told to paint the mona lisa and instead you bake pasta. Its still art but saying you did a good job of the task at hand because art is subjective is just a copout at that point
@JohnDoe-og2bt art is subjective, which makes your comment kind of moot. When something like art which purely subjective(mythology in this case). So no it's not a cop out. But nice try though.
In mythology Odin already survived impalement on a spear once when he hung himself from Yggdrasil so who knows maybe he survives and comes back at some point
Spoiler alert : He did survive this. It was his plan all along with Loki to make the Old gods fight against New Gods. The war is Odin's food and the treachary was Loki's. When the gods realized they were fooled by these 2 Norse gods they retreat.
@@ty814 "survive" is a loose term. Odin as Mr. Wendsday was NOT ressurected. the American version of Odin winds up still QUITE dead. He MAY resurface in America at some other time. If so, everyone will despise him..he won't be able to play the same trick twice. Meanwhile, over in Europe, the ORIGINAL Odin is alive and well. as Odin puts it at the end of the book" Wendsday was me, but I am not Wendsday." Think about all those versions of Jesus we saw in the Easter episode. it's sort of like that.
The great con of Odin. Do not read if you haven't read the books, but odin doesn't die, as mr world sacrifices Technical boy and pledges the death to Odin, while shadow moon hangs on the life tree for a 9 day vigil in odins place
@@SirsasthNigam.no but go back to the movie . Same actor had the same position waiting for a flaming spear , but it never arrived . Now look what happens in this show isn’t that too coincidental? Producers knew what they was doing
@@DrakariZargon Spoiler. He pretends to death. He wants all gods to fight each others. Cause the death is his sacrifice. So he worked together with Loki/Mr. World. Mr. World benefits from the chaos.
@zakaria zabedate well, how could spear with that speed hit a man and push him 2 meters away :) how could they fight while the spear in the air? I don't mind killing Odin, but at least they could make it better.
Well let's ignore the fact that Odin literally embraced his death as if wanting to die, but according to Norse mythology Gungnir will never miss a target regardless of the skill of the one who throws it.
He said every soul the spear takes is a tribute to him and in norse mythology he often sacrificed him self to him so he can come back better and more knowledgeable
Oh come on he’s the most narcissistic man alive think he’s just stand there and say we’ll after ALL this guess it’s just my time to die… he’s said himself a thousand times I’m a con man a cheat and a liar… he ain’t dead.
Chernobog seen in Pol-land, american gods it's day 1 in real life Pray to him and check-im out, god of death, of evil and darkness He's been here from the start, first god - day 1, first god He's been hiding in the forest as a deity with mad sweeney Pray to him and believe right now, because he's here not so far Quite deceptive is his trait, he might end you by himself He might like you from the start, play some checkers or some darts
@@braianfaraminan7599 I dont mind the spoilers, so is he truly dead or does he come back? If he doesn't then who continues the war in his place? Shadow?
@@Werepyres He dies, but the spear will start the war, and have a spell who made every god's death in the war be a sacrifice for him, and mr world is actually Shadow friend from prison, Lokey Liesmith... Loki Lie Smith. get it? long time ago Loki notice the old gods are losing power for tecnology, so he start to manipulate the events to make humanking create globalism and become a new king of god, a god of modern world. He make a deal with Odin to create a new era for Odin, and than a new Odin born, but Shadow break the Spell when he arrives in the war and Odin become just a regular god with a little more power. Sorry for my broken english, i'm brazilian
@@OberonFeet Your english is of no problem, trust me i've read a lot of fanfiction lol. Anyway thanks a lot for the info and it seems like Odin really is a clever bastard huh. New week is the season finale, do you think that by new season (4) the war will actually start?

yes, but also some crazy ass tangents and mythology/theology references that were pretty cool
Dude it's art, with art being subjective remains supreme. Hush up. Troll

Odin saw the spear in coming and he's like, "That's it, come to papa."
Reminds me of his character in Hercules.
In mythology Odin already survived impalement on a spear once when he hung himself from Yggdrasil so who knows maybe he survives and comes back at some point
did you watch episode 10 hes stronger than ever
Wotan is always winning, because no one can see the ways of his plans...

It was trick >>>>>>> to get his son to sacrifice himself for ODIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man if John wick finds out about this he ain't gonna be to happy

Well, as Odin had said previously. A god can only really die by suicide.
@@godlyoblivion and in season 2 he said " and every soul she takes , is a tribute to me."
We surely have a lot to discuss.... How about Odins adapted son ruling all the branches 😅😅... Jokes apart we need to talk....
Of course Odin has some type of loophole or contingency plan
No wonder this series got cancelled
And the show got cancelled..... For fucks sake why do shitty shows get ton of seasons and this gets cancelled.
too muich truth in this analogy here. so they cancelled it.
Read up. It wasn't any of that. Just admin and beauracatic nonsense
Orlando Jones would not play a watered down Ananse, that was part of it
"the message"
cuz it also went to shit after season 1 & viewer ship numbers went down
Impaled by a flaming spear. He finally got the death he kept expecting in "Hercules"... just had the wrong movie, is all.
What the heck
Hercules isn't related to it
@@SirsasthNigam.no but go back to the movie . Same actor had the same position waiting for a flaming spear , but it never arrived . Now look what happens in this show isn’t that too coincidental? Producers knew what they was doing
@@SirsasthNigam.He's making a joke about the actor playing Odin lol.
Are you being serious?
he has a charm that prevents weapons from harming him ...
nope, he is dead
@@DrakariZargon yes he is. Just saying thats one of his powers
@@DrakariZargon Spoiler. He pretends to death. He wants all gods to fight each others. Cause the death is his sacrifice. So he worked together with Loki/Mr. World. Mr. World benefits from the chaos.
He intentionally died and the charm only prevents arrows.
He sacrificed him self, to himself.
2:01 finally he died 😅😅😅... I remember him trying to do this in hercules.... Beautifully present though....❤
Last time he welcomed dozens of spears and none touched and now he finally got one.
i got that reference😂
Miss this series. wish it was renewed.
it was never finished lol
@@Son_of_a_Biscuitexactly lol
They were fighting while the spear in its way to Wednesday's chest?
Okay, it's a TV show, but even a snail would dodge that spare.
@zakaria zabedate

this spear is magic, and never miss his target, even if a kid trow it
It’s almost like Wednesday wanted it to happen or something…
I really wish they were able to finish the series.
The way she said "hey f**ker" in a chimpmunk voice killed me 😂
That actor is always so chill when he’s about to die.
It's cause he loves joy. 😊
My one question is if she is human again how did she manage to throw that spear
Oh come on he’s the most narcissistic man alive think he’s just stand there and say we’ll after ALL this guess it’s just my time to die… he’s said himself a thousand times I’m a con man a cheat and a liar… he ain’t dead.
looked like he had all the time in the world to take a step aside xD
Baba yaga!
Out in the dark, among the stars, the God is dead...
There's gotta be season 4
No show was canceled
does anybody know where i can find the soundtrack that plays during this?
I am trying to find the same since I watched this episode years ago
I missed something in the show? who is the guy with the glasses that shows up on the fight scene?
In the negotiation with Mr World, salim demanded safe extraction for Laura after the deed was done and he agreed
Sharp eyes 😉
Sacrifice of myself to myself
any fan of the books knows Odin is the main character
Es una lastima que no le hayan dado conclusión a la serie...
Finally his time came😂😂😂
I always disliked her
Me too, what a Who.e " Give me 10 and i´ll do anything ".
Is there a season 4 coming?
Ricky Whittle's hair is horrible....Sorry.
Chernobog seen in Pol-land, american gods it's day 1 in real life
Pray to him and check-im out, god of death, of evil and darkness
He's been here from the start, first god - day 1, first god
He's been hiding in the forest as a deity with mad sweeney
Pray to him and believe right now, because he's here not so far
Quite deceptive is his trait, he might end you by himself
He might like you from the start, play some checkers or some darts
In mythology Odin is destined to die by Fenris
Not Spear
The only time he almost died was when Idunn left her Garden removing Immortality of Gods
Pero miercoles ya no sale mas?
wtf season 3 , 3 years ago wasn't it cancelled after season 2 because of a problem with studio starz?
This show is a mockery of the Norse gods
what's the episode?
Did they cancell this show?
Wotan will return... 😁
Man, the thumbnail and title completely spoiled the show for me :/
he deserved that for what he did to her.
Hmm did he though she is a cheating whore and he is all-father so maybe not
In the book, he's shot by a sniper. They kept changing details for the show. Not good.
it could have been a good seriesale they fucked up with the supposedly not dead one
If only Laura Moon had stayed dead.
So what does the bear sign mean?
rune
It's wodens way the constellation he was talking about
@@FoxHound-ut1hu ohh😯

In the books he die shooted by a sniper sends by Mr World.

Lame show..all bs! Lol!
