Rune Hjarnø praises Neil Gaiman's portrayal of deities and mythology in "American Gods," highlighting the powerful and captivating universe created. The collaboration with the TV series is also commended, particularly Ian McShane's exceptional performance as Mr. Wednesday. However, RH points out a problem with Gaiman's depiction of the new gods, as their faces are not seen. RH argues that concepts like Progress, Liberty, and Equality are the new gods, less personified but with significant agency in people's lives. These new gods, like their old counterparts, can be contradictory and sometimes cruel. RHR emphasizes the complex relationship between the old and new gods and their influence on humanity.
