I'm not gonna sit here and pretend the American Gods show was perfect but holy shit if you've never at least seen Orlando Jones as Anansi's speeches about historical and contemporary antiblack racism... well, here you go. (But warning, there are no minced words and obviously the subject matter is heavy, for lack of a better word, so it may be traumatizing)

But unfortunately, he was fired for literally being too effective in the role. Because they didn't want people to sympathize with him.

The vampire of Toledo Cathedral (or Cain's bite). Late 14th Century.

I think that might have been a licensing issue, a sense that DC Comics might not allow the Royal Shakespeare Company to do that. But also I think Greg has a sort of radar for how things might slightly overwhelm. He was worried it would become the Superman Hamlet, that critics looking for a sort of lazy headline might slap that over it if it was too obvious, if it was too iconic and recognisable.

no thoughts, head empty, just david tennant in richard ii.

[Image ID: There are six photos of David Tennant on stage playing Richard II.. He has long wavy light-brown hair and in 5 of those photos he has a gold crown on his head. Four of them are from the same scene - the first, the second, the fourth and the sixth. He's wearing a gray coat and underneath it white shirt. He has a brown wide belt around his waist and there is a cross hanging on his throat. he's either smiling, looks pleasently surprised, in one he's sitting on the floor and looks kind of sad./.End ID]
