& now they fired Mr. Nancy for being too black in his speeches. New showrunner Charles Eglee from Fremantle who fired Mel B., Gabrielle Union, Nick Cannon, Heidi Klum (who used to be married to Seal), etc. did not like the message from Mr. Nancy to Black America. The excuse is he is not in that section of the book. Uh, I read the book and Mr. Nancy is paramount to the war. He also had his own franchise called Anansi Boys. This move is an insult to all Neil Gaiman fans, the author and storyteller Neil Gaiman, and the fans of the series. He is a MAJOR FUCKING character. Now, imagine if they fired Odin actor from the book or changed his image to a chinese old woman......they would fire Eglee and his name would be mud. But it is ok to sully and distort anything representing black culture especially in America. This is the typical racist agenda seen on tv and now it is infected my beloved and cherished stories by Neil Gaiman. I will not be watching this series from now on.

They are called mythological because we can (in modern times) NEVER uncover fact from fiction rather they were real (actual beings) or part of various pseudosciences/philosophies. Information has been distorted due to many different factors ranging from language to rulership influence to cultural diversity to wars. Therefore RELIGIOUS practices are made to construct the aspects of these individual deities bases upon 2 identification markers called belief and cultural origins. Thats my take on it but great video ahki.

Jaguars aren't from Africa. They're a South American thing only these days thanks to humans. (There's fossils of them in North America, but that's it at this point.) I'm sure someone said this before I did. That said, Leopards are from Africa and a bit in Asia. And I'm pretty sure you're telling a different story than they even tell in American Gods about Anansi. Which shows there's several stories about him. He's very old as a trickster, so this doesn't surprise me.

Love this show it recognized nasi in the 3 ep. I first he was anubus. Please make a sequel.

I loved the novel so much and really enjoyed the Anansi Boys. I honestly can’t watch the new season now that removed Mr.Nancy because they believe his speeches are too black and they make an excuse that he isn’t in this section of the book however he is paramount in the war. He is one of the most important characters. That’s one of the reasons I love the novel. The diversity of characters the importance of different cultures and how the book doesn’t only focus on the most commonly used mythologies like Greek or Roman or Norse or even Egyptian. It focuses on multiple others including Native American and African Mythology. That’s why I just can’t watch season three. The people in charge have fired one of the most important and interesting characters in the entire story.....they also removed a bunch of other characters or the actors just left. Which makes the story change and I just can’t deal with it.

great video

Anubis and Anpu are different names for the same god. We chose Anpu because it is the older name and the name that the Egyptians would have most likely used. Anubis is the Greek (Hellenized) version of the name. As we did research for this episode, we found that this is common with many Egyptian names. For instance Ausar, Djehuti, and Hetheru have been changed to Osiris, Thoth, and Hathor respectively. Both sets of names work and many historians use either set
