    When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the center of a world that he struggles to understand. It’s a world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media. Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost. As Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept this new reality, and his place in it.

    Funny how it's a recurring theme in this show, trickster gods teaching Shadow lessons and him failing to understand the meaning behind them. In the same way even. He overcomplicates things.

      It's because the pressure of millions of dollars cause the directors to strangle the artists ability to act and editing as well. This scene would never make it into a film because it is too polarizing.

    Please for the love of GOD (or Gods) bring back Jonathan Tucker. Like... he has maximum 2 minutes in the very first episode of the first season , that's it and istg he's still the most memoriable character. He's a phenomenal actor and absolutely perfect as Low Key. I NEED more of him 😭

    • @agenttheater5
      @agenttheater5 3 роки тому +3

      If they're wise they will - you don't introduce a character in the first episode unless you see that character at least once more later. Then again they wrote Anansi off the show so if I'm honest I'm starting to doubt their writing skills - both want to stop watching the show but also want to know if it'll finish differently from the book.

    I really liked this character and it's known in Norse Mythology that Loki is a clever storyteller and liar, but what I really liked and I don't know if it was intentional or not but before he starts to tell the story he acknowledges the heavens as if asking the gods to inspire his storytelling ability which is something a lot of the old Greek stories do to.

      Don't worry, if the writers of the show are wise they'll either stick to the original ending of the book or (even if they do change it) will remember the most important rule of storytelling - you never introduce anyone or anything to a story unless it comes back later. Even if it's just a main character noticing someone walking out of the store at the beginning of the story and then briefly noticing the same person walking out of the same or a different store at the end of the story, you have to bring them back at least once throughout the story.

      If you haven't read the book, here is a spoiler warning:
      It is mentioned that Thor committed suicide a few decades before the events of the story, however it is also mentioned that gods don't properly die off and can come back in some capacity under the right circumstances. For this reason I kind of think of the main character of Shadow as being a reincarnation of Thor; he is after-all the son of Odin and repeatedly has weird dreams revolving around storms.

    • @tauntonlake

      Hiddleston is good for what he's doing the same way Chris Hemsworth is good for what is needed. They are not playing the Norse entities, they are playing the marvel comic characters. I mean the Thor of the comics is VERY far from the actual mythological Thor. So their actors are representing the Comic versions and not the myths. Hiddleston is great for that Loki.
      But this? THIS is a lot more actual Norse Loki, than a marvel comic character.

    sorry what kind of accent is this? I am not native English speaker, so I am veeery bad with accents, but this one sounds peculiar. Or is it just his speech and not an accent?

      Well the things in his mouth are giving him some extra accent. Beyond that it's just a Boston accent.

      The accent is Boston, but he's also got kind of a speech impediment going on, kind of a strong lisp.

    Loki may be a trickster.
    But that’s still good advice nonetheless.

      Apparently you could basically toss a coin when guessing whether he's an ally or an enemy int the various myths, so it all seems perfectly in character
