#american gods (starz series)

[thedreadvampy]

btw obviously talking pure shite about the Corinthian thing but among the many things that makes me not want to watch the show. why ISN'T it a 90s period piece?

like honestly it's the same as with Good Omens being modernised for TV. Good Omens is EXTREMELY rooted in the specific cultural context of the end of the millennium. I just don't think it made sense to set it in the 2020s.

but so much of the plot and aesthetic of Sandman is so very of its time. the experience and ideologies of the feminist characters, the queer characters, the alt characters. the aesthetic of wealth and power. honestly the entirety of Rose and her brother's storyline is so rooted in the serial killer and stranger danger and suburban terror of crime in the 90s and I know that the serial killer obsession has come back around but it's a very 90s flavour of paranoia. like obviously a lot of the series is timeless but at the same time the main plot IS very rooted in time, especially Dolls House and A Game Of You, and it definitely can be modernised more readily than Good Omens but like. why would you. when the aesthetic of the comics is a) deeply rooted in the alt culture of the early 90s and b) fucking iconic. like the original run of Sandman finished the year I was born and despite not having been a goth in the 80s or 90s on account of being an Infant, the 80s-90sness of my style is so so so part of how I put my adult self together and What's Wrong With That?

and there's a lot of sticking points tbh. mostly again I'm thinking of the comic's handling of transphobia and homophobia. which I am concerned that this adaptation is going to address by "modernising" it out of the picture, instead of talking about it. which like. this is a different reservation I guess bc it's true whether it's a period piece or a modernisation. but. I am very concerned that under the guise of modernising it this is going to lose an awfully lot of its crunch.

and ymmv bc I know a lot of people take very deep issue with how the comics handle queer themes and I think a lot of that criticism is fair. but I also think that as a queer and traumatised kid the thing that made Sandman so deeply resonant and meaningful for me was that it was ok with getting messy. like it had a lot to say about homophobia, abuse of all kinds, lateral aggression, and it spends I would say almost all its Real World Main Plot Timeline being very interested in the nuance and moral greys and self- and laterally-inflicted harms among queer people. like it involves a lot of stories about abusive or unbalanced queer relationships whether it's with Alex Burgess or Judy and Foxglove (then Foxglove and Hazel) or the Corinthian. and it also wants to spend a lot of its time tangling with the support but also the spite and ignorance of specifically small queer communities (I think that Doll's House is more interested in depicting queer community as an oasis in the dangerous world of heteronormativity covering up violence. whereas A Game Of You is much more about lateral harm - everybody in that book except possibly Barbie is some flavour of queer, and maliciously (Thessaly) or through ignorance (Hazel and Barbie) or through anger (Foxglove) they are frequently spiteful, bigoted and unpleasant to each other, but Barbie, Wanda, Hazel and Foxglove still draw strength from each other's presence and care. and that rings very true to me of queer communities.

(for the record. my (cis) reading of A Game Of You has always been that it's a fairly direct condemnation of people like Thessaly. she's posed as being cruel and self-serving and ready to throw other women under the bus for her own benefit, and I always assumed we were meant to read her calling Wanda a man as part of that, and that that was the point. that Thessaly is in the book to make a point about TERF/separatist thinking. idk whether that's the intended reading or whether it's an appropriate thing for Neil Gaiman as a cishet man to be cracking into, but it's how it read to me as a 11 year old in 2004 who hadn't yet heard of TERFs or really had any idea about trans women, and i find it hard to take away a reading where we're meant to agree with Thessaly given the way Wanda is framed and the way Thessaly is framed throughout the story. I think there's more complicated stuff to unpick around like. whether Wanda's in the story to suffer and die for the Nice Cis Lady but I really have not ever got why depicting transphobia in this context has been so frequently read as endorsing it.)

like. The thing that makes Sandman deeply important to so many people is that it's messy and uncomfortable. it is. mostly interested in painful questions without answers. it's interested in power, rape, abuse (parental, familial, intimate partner, social, sexual, physical and emotional), homophobia and transphobia, CSA, bigotry, grief, trauma, madness, suicidality, addiction, etc. like. Almost everything in Sandman is focused around people and experiences that are hard to talk about and treated as scary or invisible and that's the point.

and to me again as a queer kid going through trauma and violence and abuse. that's what drew me to it. it's a really visceral read for me bc I think while I don't always agree with how it approaches every topic, it doesn't shy away from engaging with the actual messiness and complexity and no-right-answerness of those marginal experiences. it would not work as well if it was too afraid to say things that might have bad interpretations. and that was what made it matter for me, especially when it comes to queerness and disability and survivorhood (ie things I've experienced) - like it always felt like it had enough trust in its characters and audiences to let marginalised characters be fully fucked up and flawed and experience and inflict unjustifiable things. queer and marginalised characters in Sandman are, in my opinion, relatively unusual in that a) they're everywhere in the text and very internally diverse, there isn't a sense of Here's Our Gay Character Who Represents Gays, and b) they're neither utter villains Because They're Gay (/addicts/mentally ill/disabled/whatever) or Sad Objects Of Pity. they're given space to be extremely flawed and extremely sympathetic Whole People Who Fuck Up.

and my worry is. especially given how a lot of mainstream discourse is around representation and Problematic Media. but also tbh given how increasingly anodyne and pandery I think a lot of Neil Gaiman's output has been getting in this ourouboros stage of his career. I am almost certain that the Netflix Sandman series is going to sand a lot of the crunchy sharp edges off the story. I do not think we're going to see the willingness to make the audience uncomfortable and uneasy (and I'm not talking about the horror elements, but the human ones) and I think that's. honestly totally understandable from a production standpoint bc I think there are things in Sandman that would cause huge backlash if you screen them today. I also. think. that the story would be worse without them.

(none of this matters bc I'm not going to watch the show. why would I do that to myself I KNOW I will not enjoy it even if it's great, bc the comics are embedded somewhere 2 inches from my heart and I'm not. interested in What If That But TV. I can just read the comics again.)

#red said #honestly the only Gaiman adaptations I've really liked are ones where I'm ambivalent to the original #i thought the Starz American Gods was really good but then i thought the book was a lot of good ideas but strung together #into an almost incoherently rambling brick #like i have read American Gods i think three? times and I could not for the life of me tell you the progression of events #every time i read it i leave with snapshots #i loved the film of Stardust. the book is. fine. #i think the exception is Coraline but while i really like both the book and the film #i didn't read/watch either of them until i was like 18 and i think my contact was in pretty quick succession #i also like neverwhere but that doesn't count bc technically the book is an adaptation of the TV show not the other way around #honestly i think. (also bc Mirrormask s one of my all time top films). that i only like Gaiman's screen work when it's original. #really like the janky Neverwhere series. LOVE mirrormask. the Doctor's Wife is about the only good 10th doctor episode #i do not think based on Good Omens and what I've seen for Sandman #that Neil Gaiman produced adaptations of Neil Gaiman classics are a good thing

[thenightling]

For those keeping score here are all the TV shows based on the work of Neil Gaiman from the last ten years. Lucifer - Loosely based on the version of Lucifer who quits ruling Hell and opens a piano bar, from The Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. Originally aired on Fox and then moved to Netflix for seasons 4 through 6. Neil Gaiman also got to play God in a bonus episode for season 3. The full series can be watched on Netflix. And is available on DVD. The plot deals with Lucifer, the ruler of Hell, up and quitting and moving to Earth where he opens a night club called Lux and takes up playing piano. In the TV series he befriends (and eventually falls in love with) a woman homicide detective named Chloe Decker.

_______________________ American Gods - Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman. Aired on Starz. The plot deals with a man called Shadow Moon who gets dragged into the strange world of Old and New Gods vying for power.

________________ Anansi Boys - Originally written by Neil Gaiman as a spin-off of American Gods, the TV series version was filmed for Amazon Prime and is currently in post-production (Not yet released.) The plot deals with the sons of Anansi, the African trickster Spider-God.

__________________ Good Omens - Showrun by Neil Gaiman and based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Also Neil Gaiman has a small cameo in the first season. Available now on Amazon Prime. Seasons 1 and 2 are complete. Season 3 has not yet started filming and will very likely be the final season. Season 1 is currently available on DVD. The plot deals with two "differently competent" entities, an Angel and a Demon, who have come to love life on Earth and each other. And now must work together to prevent the apocalypse.

______________________________ The Sandman - First episode was co-written by Neil Gaiman, based on the stories and original characters created by Neil Gaiman with a few borrowed DC comics characters. Currently on Netflix. Season 2 is in production now. Neil Gaiman also voiced a ghostly bird in the bonus episode segment Dream of a Thousand Cats. Season 1 will be available on DVD and Blu Ray at the end of this month. The plot deals with Morpheus, the King of Dreams, who accidentally gets summoned and captured by occultists who had been trying to capture The Grim Reaper. After over a hundred and six years in captivity Morpheus finally escapes and has to track down his tools which had been taken from him when he was captured. He also comes to realize he had made many terrible mistakes in the past and struggles to set those wrongs right.

_________________________________________ The Dead Boy Detectives - First official spin-off of The Sandman. The Dead Boy Detectives were originally planned as an HBO Max series (now just Max) but moved to Netflix after the success of the first season of The Sandman. Based on characters who first appeared in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Season of Mists, Neil Gaiman is involved in the production. The plot is a pair of ghost teenagers decide to become detectives and are really bad at it. These two characters made a previous appearance in Doom Patrol on Max (Formerly HBO Max) but had been played by different actors.

So now I’m mad because I thought about how badly STARZ fumbled American Gods because Ibis and Jackal should have had the same amount of hype Aziraphale and Crowley have.

Like Ibis and Jackal were so domestic and they’re basically how fanfics portray Aziraphale and Crowley living together in domestic bliss and running a business. Like they literally remind me of an alternate version of the two. Just less chaotic. They’re old and all they want to do is do their business together with their cat daughter.

That scene in the series with them together was so tender and sweet and Jackal is protective of Ibis in the book, it’s just so ugh.

It was wasted and then Chris Obi left after season one and instead of recasting him STARS basically said fuck the book and said “Nah ima do my own thing”

One day I hope to see American Gods get the adaptation it deserves. STARZ was the worst choice for it.

To start ,Mr Gaiman , thank you for your stories and glimpses into these amazing worlds.

Question 1. What is your favorite of the worlds/universes you wrote between Sandman, American Gods, Neverwhere, and Good Omens? Also are any of your stories part of a shared universe?

Question 2. Is there still a chance of the American Gods tv series getting a finale of sorts?

(American gods is in my top 3 fav novels. Was disappointed we weren't able to get to Monarch of the Glen, Black Dog, and the story of the possible sequel.)

Question 3.

Given as a fans we don't have the front row view , I am quite aware rumor and perception from outside are quite the opposite of reality most times . So I apologize if this question comes off bitchy or entitled. That is certainly not my intent. As I find myself disgusted with this toxic internet culture of fans being beligerant to creators. Whether they be authors, directors, actors, or game dsigners.

Did you take much more of a front seat role in the creation of the Good Omens series and Sandman more so than American Gods and if so why?

1) Whichever I'm writing at the time.

2) I don't know. I was assured when it was cancelled that Fremantle and Starz were determined to finish the story, but I've seen nothing since to make me think that this was actually a real plan.

3) Because Starz and Fremantle had hired Brian Fuller and Michael Green to make American Gods, and I was empowered to give notes. At the time I was 100% into writing and planning Good Omens in the UK, so was very willing to let other people make American Gods, while I made Good Omens. When Brian and Michael left I took a week off Good Omens to meet with Jesse, who took over and talk to him about the overall plot, and what his goals were for Season 2 but was in the UK making Good Omens and seeing it through post production while Season 2 was being written and shot.

We pitched and sold and started work on Sandman the week after Good Omens dropped on Amazon Prime Video and by that time the biggest selling point that Warner's had was that unlike any previous attempts to make Sandman this was one I was going to work on and oversee, because I'd learned a lot making Good Omens and felt competent to do it.

So the real answer is, because I was invited to.

[heatherfield]

tv show recs please?

Oh, Nonny, are you asking me to talk about my favourite thing(s)? 'CAUSE I WILL GLADLY DO SO.

Ahem.

Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story. I know I'm probably obnoxious about it at this point but it really is that good. Based off of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, it's funny and smart and emotional with amazing characters and twists that are so very earned. Please check it out on Youtube! (Shipwrecked Comedy)

Casualty 1900s/London Hospital. This series follows a hospital in the Edwardian era in London's east end. It's got a great ensemble cast and interesting storylines about both medical practices and the doctors and nurses that work there. (BBC)

Jericho (2016). It's kind of like a Western but set in Victorian England. It's about a widow and her two children who are forced to make a fresh start in a town set up around the building of a viaduct for a railway. Jessica Raine and Hans Matheson are so great to watch, and I wish the show was given a second season. (ITV)

Business Proposal. This K-drama is full of rom-com sweetness! A woman agrees to go on a blind date for her friend and shenanigans ensue as the guy turns out to be her boss. It's a bit fake-relationship, a bit enemies-to-lovers, and it's a lot of fun. I especially love the main character's friend and her relationship. (Netflix)

American Gods. This is based on Neil Gaiman's book and is definitely darker in tone. After the death of his wife, a man finds himself in the middle of a battle between the old gods and the new as they fight to stay relevant in the modern world. (I really enjoyed the book and I wish the show had been able to finish the story, but it does drag a bit in seasons two and three...) (Starz/Amazon?)

These are a few that come to mind that might be lesser-known, but I've got tonnes more recommendations where those came from! I'm curious to know what genre you like. I also have a tag meme that I need to post my answer for that lists a bunch of my favourite shows so I figured I wouldn't talk about all of them here, too.

#heather answers #anonymous #headless: a sleepy hollow story #casualty 1900s #jericho #jericho (2016) #jericho itv #business proposal #american gods #it's kind of hard to answer with no context XD #do you want something dark? something fun? #what other shows do you like? #i also have suspicions about your identity nonny but maybe i'm wrong #also i'm sensing a theme in that every one of these shows i've made gifsets for in my 'obscure ships' series lol #well except for 'american gods' #anyway this is a hodge podge of unrelated things XD #i tried to cover the spectrum of genres #also please don't judge my summaries it's hard to sum up full shows

three ships: Captain Flint and Long John Silver - Black Sails - : oof where do I even start with these two? I love both of these characters on their own and I absolutely love them together. They’re never an “official thing” but the relationship these two have is so fucking real and raw and emotional. I wanna rewatch Black Sails almost exclusively for them. Highlyhighlyhighly recommend watching it if you haven’t already. It’s on Starz!

Ragnar Lothbrok and Athelstan - Vikings - : another ship that’s not exactly an “official ship”. There’s so much that I love about both of these characters, and even more so to their relationship. The religious drive of Paganism and Christianity, and the way each man is so devoted to their belief (and, honestly, willing to change for the other) is just so so good. I love it. I wanna rewatch Vikings specifically to watch their relationship again. 

Feyre and Rhysand - A Court of Thorns and Roses series - : I’m currently reading A Court of Frost and Starlight so no spoilers please!! THESE TWO. Good lord. I immediately knew Rhysand was gonna be big when he and Feyre met for the first time. Their relationship (so far what I’ve seen) is fucking beautiful and I’ve cried multiple times reading these books. That’s really all I have to say. I love them so much it’s unreal.

first ship: I dunno if this counts but when I was a KID I loved Kovu and Kiara from Lion King 2 LOL I had a crush on both of them 

last movie/ tv show: Bluey. Yay toddler mom life! Last thing I watched for me though was Unsolved Mysteries. Love that shit. Last thing I BINGED was The Watcher!

last song: Hateful  by Post Malone 

currently reading: American Gods by Neil Gaiman

currently watching: I don’t think I’m watching anything currently tbh! Really wanna watch Glass Onion and Pale Blue Eye this weekend or whenever I get the chance!

Fans of Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel American Gods and the beloved children’s character Paddington are in for a real treat, as the two are set to crossover in an upcoming episode.

The episode will be the first in the third season of American Gods, the hit fantasy drama series which airs on the Starz network. It will feature the beloved character Paddington, a young bear from Peru who is adopted by a family in London. The episode will explore Paddington’s relationship with Shadow Moon, the protagonist of American Gods.

The episode will be written by showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, and will feature a mix of both live action and animation. It will explore Shadow’s relationship with Paddington as he goes on an unexpected journey of self-discovery.

The episode is expected to be released sometime later this year, though an official date has yet to be announced.

In the meantime, fans of both American Gods and Paddington can look forward to the upcoming movie Paddington 2, which is set to be released on January 12th, 2018.

General question for Raven Cycle fans out there- Which of these non-TRC source materials do you know?

1. Something that has ALWAYS bugged me about the Starz series adaptation of American Gods (other than the awful writing and deviating from the source) was the atrocious and out of touch design of Tech Boy. I read that they changed his design from what the book describes because of the very drastic ever changing culture of the internet since 2001 compared to 2017, but they even missed that too. So, as a child of the internet and with the souring numbers of 4 hours a day on average spent on my phone since 2017 and (what I like to think) a better grasp and understanding of 2017-2021 youth culture, I've taken it into my own hands to redesign what I like to call "Tech Kid" as a 100 gecs, Monster chugging, fast fashion wearing raver/e-kid. Rant Over.

2. Redesigning and overhauling one of my ooold worlds involving shrimp aliens. These are said shrimp aliens

3. Speaking of Shrimp!

4. Yet another redesign/overhaul of an antagonist from my old vampire world. His name is Waymire/ The Mire of you have forgotten or didn't know.

Featuring the show-stopping talents of Spawn series artist JASON SHAWN ALEXANDER, and the writer behind such hit shows as Wu-Tang: An American Saga, Marvel's Runaways, and Starz's American Gods--RODNEY BARNES. When a small town beat cop comes home to bury his murdered father-the revered Philadelphia detective James Sangster Sr.-he begins to unravel a mystery that leads him down a path of horrors and shakes his beliefs to their core. The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality... ...and vampires. But the mystery goes even further when Jimmy's investigation leads him to uncover the source of the outbreak is long-thought dead President of the United States John Adams--a man secretly biding his time as he builds an undead army to start a new and bloodier American revolution. There's a reason they coin a phrase, “you can't go home.” Welcome to Killadelphia.

Hello, hello; A new focus means a new altar, and with it all sorts of new content for you the user to indulge!

Think of this as ‘home base’ for now; I intend to play with a hypothetical extension of Neil Gaiman’s famed STARZ series ‘American Gods’ following the events of the finale that was season three. In no way is this meant to be a canonized work nor is it to infringe upon the pre-built foundation and the amazing dedication shown to us by the actors and writers behind the show.

You can call me Kroh-… the messenger.
