What really made me realize for the first time that Mr.World was actually Loki, is when he tells Technical Boy, “Trickery is what I do best”. It had never occurred to me up until that very moment, that Loki could have been Mr.World all along. It seems crazy naive in retrospect that hadn't crossed my mind considering how much Mr.World transforms into other people just like Loki.

I just miss Mad Sweeney. He was my favorite part and his story arc with Laura was the most compelling part to me. I normally hate dead wife, but she was actually tolerable and allowing herself to let down her walls and grow as a person and learn about living life. I never got the vibes she really cared about Shadow. Part of me wonders if she's some play on Persephone, who herself is potentially a weird revised version of a more powerful/mysterious diety, Despoina, given how she is so connected to the afterlife but can never really stay there. Going to the underworld then coming back, over and over again. In the Eleusinian Mysteries Hades is barely a footnote, more of a narrative uber driver to get Persephone into the Underworld, but Persephone has ALWAYS been a Goddess of Death/Afterlife/Underworld, so much so that her names "Kore, Persephone, and Despoina" are basically nicknames/psudanims because no one DARE temp saying her actual name. Kore meaning "girl, maiden" Persephone meaning "bringer of destruction" and Despoina being a formal courtly use of "Lady" like Lord. So.... *Dead Wife.*

The white buffalo is sacred in most native american cultures, it often heralds a new era of peace and knowledge. Usually the renewal of the indigenous people. In some indigenous cultures there are prophecies that the world will come to the edge of ruin, the birth of the white buffalo is the signifier that people will live on versus be destroyed. I think the flaming eyes were just eye candy. But the book talks about how shadow is part native although it doesnt go to heavy in his role in that community.

Having read the book, I was surprised with the Technical Boy twist. I honestly can't recall what happened to him in Gaiman's novel. However, it makes sense to "capture" the God of Human Innovation. It would be like harnessing a massive source of power - a "Godhood battery", if you like. One could even say that Godhood is one of the most potent instantiations of human invention and innovation. I remember hearing old stories, probably apocryphal, that when the indigenous people of Terra del Fuego first heard and understood the word "God", first heard monotheism uttered in a single word, they ate the speaker (probably some dodgy missionary). They wanted to literally consume this innovation in Godhood. Apocryphal or not, I get the point. It's a hellava drug.

All that’s left in the book to cover on the show is the antiAmerican native god stuff, and derailing the Loki/Odin plan. An hour wrap up episode would cover it. No need to beat a dead horse.

After season 1, it seemed as though they were covering about one third of the book. Add to that the production issues they've had, and I was assuming that season three would be the end. I realize now this can't be. I sure hope that they get it together and finish the story! I'll be super mad if it gets canned now that they've brought us this far.

@brennakingsbury96573 жыл бұрын
Why wouldn't they have souls? There's no evidence that they don't and plenty of evidence that they do. I'm not saying it makes sense, but in the universe of the show, they seem to have souls, or they're souls that grow bodies, or something like that. Czernobog said Odin was watching Shadow in the finale, and we know the dead Zoraya gave Czernobog a sign about the new gods in either 3x09 or 3x10. Sweeney's hoard was an extension of his psyche and something is still keeping it active, and Sweeney and Laura had some kind of astral sex experience in S2 which seemed to imply that their souls were interacting. We have no idea if their afterlife experience is the same as it is for humans, but they seem to live on after death in some way. And Shadow and Laura seem to be half human, i.e. born the traditional way and thus subject to a soulmates trope. (I do think this soulmates development is terrible writing, though, and hope it's a red herring.)

The plot of Season 3 dragged a lot, and it made me want the good stuff from 4. We still are waiting for this "war." I know there were a lot of Karens offended by the recent nudity and gAy AgEnDa, and I know there's been controversy with prior actors and characters disappearing from the show. It's unfortunate this is where it all ended up. I kinda want Yetide to play storm.

Well done, sir. Season three didn't have as many truly transcendent moments as season one, but it was far more cohesive from beginning to end. It was well planned unlike season one which had enough problems that TPTB had to scrap an entirely filmed episode and come up with a new one on the fly to replace it (the Sweeney in early America episode). Neil Gaiman himself claims season one comes across as an anthology and there is truth to that. Season three also had easily the strongest Shadow as a character. Of course season two would rank.at the bottom understandably.

I am wondering if perhaps Laura is Loki's daughter, Hel. It would make sense why she can rise from a grave and ditch purgatory, etc. Also it is unclear if Hel is a goddess... I read that apparently none of the Norse Eddas actually say she is a goddess. So if she is not actually a goddess and is simply the caretaker of the underworld, then perhaps she could kill a God with his own spear and he could still be resurrected. Perhaps that was Odin's plan all along.

The show isn’t very easy to follow if you’re not familiar with different mythologies/the books and sometimes episodes draaaag a point in 5 directions to try and support this smorgasbord of characters and their back stories. But now I want to follow through and see how it goes from Mad Sweeney’s death to Shadowmoon finding himself and Odin’s foreshadowed betrayal.
