Orlando Jones fired from "American Gods" because his black character was too angry.

Never watched the show, but now I want to check out the first two seasons.

I couldn't get into season 2 of the show. I just read the book instead.

Was his character problematic?

I only watched S1, but his character monologues were great.

I even watched the ones from the season I didn't watch. They were well written and impeccably performed. Not too hammy, not too preachy. Always on point.

And nothing he's every done or said outside of the show makes me doubt that he isn't speaking the truth about why he got fired.

Was his character problematic?

From what I remember, his character was some kinda entity from "present" times who would travel across time and speak real shyt to and about us.

For example, in season 1, there's a scene on a ship carrying people from Africa across the sea, and he appears in the bottom of the ship with all of the shackled soon-to-be slaves.

He then gives them a speech about what their future is gonna be. And tells them that they should be angry, and not to let go of that anger. It's one of many speeches/monologues and they were all dope.

Then I'm finished with this show.

Mr. Nancy's monologues were fire. Season 2 doubled down on those ideas too

I wonder how Benhameen feels about this.

 

[Peter Popoff]

His character was dope but this is what happened when white entitlement makes decisions.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Damn.
Mr.Nancy was my favorite character.

 

[Norrin Radd]

 

[MegaManX]

well we should definitely make the numbers on the show drop to laughable ratings to prove a point.

 

[Matt504]

Why this nikka look exactly like Young Dolph

 

[ORDER_66]

How you get fired for doing your damned job???

 

[Bryan Danielson]

You can’t be serious? Y’all trolling right?

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Damn I have no reason to ever watch this show past season 2 then, Anansi was my favorite character.
