Today, let's talk about the American drama "American Gods Season 3".
Titled American Gods Season 3 (2021), alias American Gods.
First of all, the bad news, just in March 2021, Starz announced the cancellation of the renewal of "American Gods", and the fantasy road TV series came to an end after three seasons.
Given that "American Gods Season 3" did not finish the story, it is likely that the last bit of the plot will be completed in the form of a limited drama or TV movie in the future.
In the first season of "American Gods", Mr. Wednesday, the old god of the United States, Odin, is recruiting soldiers to expand his heroic temple, and he is about to launch a war against the new gods.
After the second season, the two groups of people and horses of the old god and the new god are still recruiting their own soldiers and horses, and they are developing peacefully throughout the season, and the big battle that the audience is looking forward to has not happened.
By the 3rd season, there should be a big battle, but the 4th season of "American Gods" was cut, and the 3rd season did not have the slightest intention of completing the final battle, but at the last moment, it vaguely expressed the true purpose of the leaders of the two sides.
The old god's side, led by Odin, is weakening in the face of the new gods constantly eating away at believers.
The old gods no longer possess power without believers, as evidenced by the goddess of calamus, who became the goddess of death who opened a funeral parlor, and Demeter, the goddess of harvest who lived in a nursing home this season. Most of the old gods are in a quiet corner, hiding in anonymity, and a few radical activists choose to fight. Odin was the leader.
Odin, who lost the vast majority of his followers, was much less powerful than before, and could only rely on deception to survive.
At the beginning of "American Gods", Odin is the mastermind of a scam, and Shadow is responsible for laying hands to provide Odin with a more comfortable environment for cheating.
And if you zoom in on the perspective of the entire series, Odin is also engaged in a scam, fooling the shadow and fooling the audience's old god and new god war, which is only a cover for this scam.
On the surface, "American Gods" shakes the shadow, but in fact it also shakes the audience into it. Odin's true purpose is not revealed until the end of the third season, and he just wants to complete his rebirth through this series of events.
In order to achieve this hidden purpose, Odin used himself to make a bitter meat game, playing the affection card and the affection card. He arranged a gorgeous death for himself, awakened some old gods, and trapped the shadow with emotion to achieve his goal.
Ian McChollshawn's charismatic performance is deceptive, and even though the audience knows that he is being teased at the last minute, they still do not feel that the character is sinister and vicious.
The audience watching from a distance across a layer of screen is still like this, and the shadows and old gods who are in close contact with him are not to be questioned by his relaxed routine.
The main gods in Western mythology are not the image of great light, these gods are just human nature with divine power, and the shortcomings of human beings are not many at all, or even worse. But don't think that Odin and others are good people who are good people in pudu.
In the American Gods novel, Shadow once travels to Northern Europe and encounters the original incarnation of Odin in Northern Europe.
Shadow asks Odin why he gave himself a trap, to which Odin replies, "Yes, he is me, but I am not him." ”
In the "American Gods" TV series, Odin also said that he could not leave the American continent, otherwise he would disappear.
These old gods on the American continent are the primitive beliefs brought by the immigrants, and once they are out of the soil of survival, they will be attached to mao. In this way, the meaning of Odin's original incarnation is not difficult to understand, Odin on the American continent inherited all kinds of original Odin, but the subsequent various behaviors are completely in their own consideration, and have no connection with the original incarnation.
The new god's side is equally astonishing.
Mr. World ends up being the king of tricks, living off people's intrigues and calculations. The tech kid is a god who accompanies science and technology, that is, when people start to use tinder.
For a moment, the line between the new gods and the old gods became incomparably blurred.
In terms of birth time, the so-called "new gods" such as Mr. World and The Boy of Science and Technology have always existed with the birth of mankind and are veritable old gods.
And Odin and other gods around the world are gods that came about with the beliefs of the local people, born much later than the old gods, and came to the American continent later than the old gods.
The two sides have been fighting for so long, only robbing believers to seize the territory is the real purpose, only becoming stronger is the real purpose.
They didn't care about the life and death of the new gods, even if those enemies and allies died, and there was one less competitor.
After three seasons of God Nagging, "American Gods" tells the story of a group of selfish guys with a divine personality, and conspiracy and calculation are the top priority of this series.
The "American Gods" novel finally left an open ending, hoping that the future end of the "American Gods" drama version will draw a perfect end to this series.
The identity of the old god and the new god is revealed,
I tricked the audience.
