5.19 "Hammer of the Gods" - Storyboards (Scene 36, 9 pp.)

i think my main show criticisms lately have just been. seasons aren't long enough anymore. we HAVE got to go back to 22 episode runs

Hey, y'all remember when Gabriel used the excuse of being romantically attached to someone who didn't want the apocalypse to happen?

Very convenient that it happened not to be one of the people he was actively saving in that moment, huh

Do you think the writers knew by rewriting the Prose Edda the way they did that they’ve reframed the narrative to make Gabriel Loki’s wife?

5x19 Hammer of Gods

I haven't watched this episode, I never will.

I knew about it, but I first time I read the plot and transcript when I was ploting Cauldron of Ink Verse. I logged out that day, and I was just so angry,

There are two Hindu gods in this episode, lord Ganesha and goddess Kali and lord krishna is mentioned.

I am religious, my faith may not drive me, but it keeps me afloat when things get bad.

Kali Mata is an avatar of goddess Parvati. She is firece, she is symbol of woman power and anger. When Maa Parvati went on a rampage as Kali Mata, no one knew how to stop her, God's were scared of stepping in her way, until until lord Shiva took form of a child and appealed to Maa Parvati.

The way she is presented in that episode fills me with rage and disgust, and I know it's a Me problem and I know that the makers of SPN don't share my faith but I can't just ignore that. I already ignore a LOT of problems I have with show, especially the way women are treated. This just too personal, it hurts

People in India would have killed makers and writers of that episode with bare hands. And this is not an exaggeration

supernatural made me so unwell about the idea of urban fantasy. cause in fantasy the creations of our imagination can become real and that creates such an important literary space for the validation and rationalisation of our feelings. but in urban fantasy it gets taken a step further, not only can the creations of our imagination become real but they can become bloody. they can become as concrete and hopeless and messy and bloody as urban day to day reality. ideas from a book or a tv show become as serious as the chaos of the real world outside your window. they kill violently when they strike and when they die they die screaming. poetry gets depicted as as forceful an agent in the universe as it feels, not something that is beautified or imagined or accessed in some emotional space but something that walks alongside human beings. its not lesser to them and it doesnt condescend to them, its bound to them, and when an idea gets hurt or goes wrong or goes rogue it makes itself known loudly and viscerally, ideas and poetry are FELT by the people they interact with as clearly as being hit with a slab of concrete. gods can scream in urban fantasy, not to scream with righteous fury but to scream like human beings, with desperation, fear, inarticulate madness and weakness, gods can scream in urban fantasy and i think thats such a unique and crucially important and deeply human space in storytelling to interact with the constructs of the imagination. fantasy let us explore the value of imaginary things but urban fantasy let us criticise them and see their limitations and bind them in the same rules everyone else in the world is bound under and to see how they fare. it let us dream without getting trapped inside our own heads, it let us worship without being slaves, its the perfect space for the exploration of individual autonomy that supernatural set out to be. go team free will
