Full spoilers for American Gods continue below.
True to its title, American Gods used "A Murder of Gods" to showcase that gods can indeed perish. While we saw gods can die after being forgotten, as with Nunyunnini's story, this week we saw both Mexican Jesus and Vulcan bite the dust. It's unclear how exactly faith and a god's existence mix here; shouldn't a god still live on, regardless of whether his or her form is killed, because they have followers? Hopefully that will be clarified in future weeks, but for now it's clear that the stakes are pretty high for Wednesday.
Within the world of the show, American Gods is exploring something really interesting in the idea of the gods needing to create new franchises of themselves to appeal to new believers. It's what Media and Mr. World were pitching Wednesday in last week's episode -- an update, a refresh -- and it became immediately apparent that Vulcan was on the New Gods' side when he started parroting the same language. That's a heady concept and ties back to a personal conflict most people have likely found themselves in: do you stay true to your old idea of who you are, or change that about yourself to try to keep up to date with the times and changing expectations?
