Removal of What An Idiot potholes


But why? This doesn't make any sense. Telling Wednesday that he's on his side can be justified by lulling him into a false sense of security. However, actually forging the blade, then giving it to Wednesday, and THEN revealing his betrayal is [[WhatAnIdiot stupid beyond all reason.]]

* Did Wednesday have his hand in initiating the romance between Laura and Robbie? As Robbie was supposed to give Shadow a job, he was definitely a target, since Wednesday wanted Shadow to have nothing to lose. Them having an affair was an easy way to setup the killing of both birds with one stone.

*How much do the New Gods use the internet to control information about the Old Gods? Given that most of the Old God don't seem intimately familiar with technology, offering Bilquis or another old god a higher place in search results, or say, giving videos of Odin the top spot on Youtube probably wouldn't be great motivators, but could increase their power significantly. They could also make sure that information about the Old Gods isn't availble, or at least not as easily. How would that work?

Added DiffLines:

** I imagine it's something like the elf idea. The Easter Bunny is a symbol of Easter, but not really a figure worshiped in its own right. So the Easter Bunny is probably similar to Santa's elves, Technical Boy's minions, and Muninn.


Added DiffLines:

** Odin is the All-Father, progenitor of the Aesir, and perhaps more importantly, he hung on Yggdrasil for nine days to learn the runes and their charms. Thor is the god of thunder, but Odin is the father of all who bound the power of the runes to himself through sacrifice to the world and himself.
