Studios spend a fairish amount of time strain to block spoilers . Whether it ’s actors refusing to talk about anything in interviews for fear of circumstantially revealing a mystery or the Chief Executive of Marvel studio refusing to tell citizenry the title of a film because it itself is a spoiler , privateness is everywhere . Except for American Gods .
You ’d cerebrate American Gods would be in the same boat as Game of Thrones . They ’re both unsparing adaptation of Holy Scripture by dear genre writers on a premium cable television channel . In the war of Game of Thrones spoilers — account book fans say something from the rule book is n’t a pamperer , since it ’s been out for years , versus television buff guarding their ignorance with ferocity — the telecasting fans have won . craft spoiler - free precis and headlines for Game of Thrones is practically an art .
In American Gods not only will this argument not make out up , it ’s not even relevant .
“ People demand us often are we worried about spoilers , things like that . And the answer is ‘ not very much , ’ ” said Michael Green , American Gods executive producer . “ There is patch , and for those who that is there reason to come , that is service and enjoyable . But it is the interaction and discussions along the manner that is so likable . ”
Of course American Gods has a plot . But the sense of mystery that pervades Gaiman ’s novel does n’t drive the show . I could identify the plot of land in particular and it would fetch about a tenth of the stunner of the visuals , the emotion of the role player , the way the music underscores every moment in the TV serial perfectly . You would still have to watch over even if you bonk every plot detail .

In any other show , a theatrical role come back as a zombi would be a pamperer . In American Gods , it ’s tweeted out by the show ’s official account before the show even off the air .
If you ’re used to the vagueness of everything HBO release of Game of Thrones , the nakedness of American Gods will blow out of the water you . While the playscript is told from the point of view of someone who has no idea who any of these the great unwashed are , the marketing for American Gods has been very clear about the God we ’re meeting . The Shadow Moon of the television set series is n’t ignorant or confused as much as he is someone who has no belief , so he ca n’t accept what he ’s seeing .
In the book , the reveal of Mr. Wednesday ’s genuine identity is an important moment for Shadow . But it ’s not a despoiler at this point to say that Ian McShane ’s Mr. Wednesday is Odin , according to Bryan Fuller himself , an executive manufacturer on American Gods and whose last project was Hannibal , another adaptation and update of a Koran .
“ When I read the book , I was fully aware of who he was , ” explained Fuller . “ There was I was aware of Mr. Wednesday , so it never occurred to me that it was spoileriffic because the book ’s call American Gods . ” an executive manufacturer on American Gods and whose last project was Hannibal , another adaption and update of a book . ( While I would n’t have thought it was a pillager , either , years of cyberspace freak - out over spoilers have made me more cautious . )
Ian McShane , for one , is glad that he does n’t have to be coy about his type . “ If you know anything about Norse Mythology , you bonk what Wednesday imply — Wotan , ” he said . “ An consultation needs something to be given back to . It ’s always mystifying ! They always say , ‘ we ’re holding this back , and this back . ’ Well , give me something ! Otherwise you go , ‘ Okay , you ’re not go to give me anything ? Well , boom . ’ ” ( “ Boom ” meaning that the audience yield up and leaves . )
American Gods is less interested in being mysterious and more interested in probe its part and the themes of belief and identity . It ’s not digress that far from the original . “ I read the book and then I watch over show , I was like , ‘ It ’s a lot how I suppose , ’ ” said Kristin Chenoweth , who take on Easter . There are alteration — mostly expansions to give eccentric more metre and backstory — but the core of the show is the volume . And the beauty of the show is how it represent it . You ca n’t cosset that , you just have to watch them do it .
The glory is in seeing the interpretation , not ghost over every small plot detail . “ This is fanfiction , ” says Orlando Jones , who plays Mr. Nancy . “ I get insane about that idea . I ca n’t consider that Neil Gaiman , Bryan Fuller , and Michael Green are pen American Gods fanfiction together . That shit is off the concatenation . ”
American Gods is too in effect in its implementation to take secrecy . It only need to be see , and nothing can spoil that .
