#deleted material

[screeeeeeeeeonk]

I'm not sure if everyone who knows what was cut from the GvK knew this, but Hayworth (Ren's hitman originally) is also in the final montage for 6s (in Pensacola attack, when Ren first appearance happened)

It's the same character, yes.

I am so glad that someone placed all the deleted material of "Death Becomes Her" in order!

GvK deleted scene (2019 scenario)

"Throwback: just before Hayworth* kills Simmons (on set shot / 2019)"

*For those who didn't know, Ren Serizawa was originally the main villain, and he hired a character named Hayworth (mentioned in the novelization + appears in one scene in the film), the APEX security director who also worked as an assassin for Simmons. He was originally responsible for Simmons's death, not Mechagodzilla.

Speaking of New Media, some times ago Kahyun Kim posted on her Instagram a video of her in one of the “deleted costumes” or rather “considered looks” for New Media - you may remember it, she had the same pink wig/makeup and the same pink blouse with kisses on the collar. The difference was that in previous pictures she didn’t had the glasses, and she wore a sort of plastic diadem.

I previously mentionned on my blogs that for the role of New Media Kahyun Kim tried several looks, wigs, makeups and costumes - and that many, while considered for the series (and maybe even filmed in scenes) were cut from the final product.

Here are two other posts I made about these looks:

And this is a third “deleted look” that got shared on social media (ironically Xp)

And here is the rest of the screenshots for this deleted sequence. Bruce, quite happy to have got on the set on his own despite the heavy fat suit Xp

As you can see, the idea behind this previous incarnation was to recreate somehow the character from the novel, but very differently. No acne here, and no Matrix-like clothes. He is rather an evocation of the 80s and 90s kids AND nerds AND basement-dwellers, as well as the other typical cliché representation of video game-addicts. From the book was kept the idea of this version of Tech Boy being overweight, if not obese. They also decided to give him a very peculiar haircut... I don’t know if this was a thing in 80s and 90s America but it is certainly one weird one Xp 

You can actually see Bruce Langley putting on the fat facial prosthetics and the wig right here:

And here is a closeup of the final look (from Colin Penman account) :

As for this “Game Boy”’s clothes... now I’m a bit hesitant here given that I don’t know the exact terminology for American clothes, but you can see black jogging pants/stretch pants ; a blue and black horizontal stripes polo shirt, a gray zip up hoodie, as well as white and blue shoes (Sneakers? random baskets? I don’t know but they scream the 1990s).

As I mentionned before here: https://americangodstalk.tumblr.com/post/618344395900616704/these-are-the-four-screenshots-used-for-the

I only used four screenshots for the American Gods Wiki. But of course I made more of these screenshots.

If you’re out of the loop, here is a quick re-explain.

These screenshots come from this rare behind-the-scenes video montage for season 2 of American Gods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuaz3lAdYGI

In this video we get a brief sequence of Bruce Langley trying to get up on the stage, in his fat suit, for the deleted scene that included “Fat Technical Boy” or the “Fat Kid” or “Game Boy” (choose your name, we still don’t know which was the official one, even though as I keep explaining my headcanon is Game Boy). 

This set is particularly fascinating because its shape can be reminiscent of many things, ranging from a Game Boy the console, to a computer screen or television screen. But most obviously, it seems to be the same shape and color as the “box” in which was located tiny-Technical Boy in this cut scene we saw in the trailer of season 2, when giant New Media was looming over him.

A close observation of the set also reveals that clearly this previous incarnation of Technical Boy was all about video games, with a strong 1980s and 1990s influence. On the huge screen background you can see the game “Space Invader” being played, one of the classic and most influental video games history alongside others like Pac Man. On each side of the chair in which Game Boy was supposed to sit, under all the wrappers of snacks and candies and the bottles of energy drink, you can see several game consoles. The two piles on each side of the chair are actually symmetrical, made of NES, Super NES and Playstation Ones. On top of that, you can also see on top of one pile what looks like an Atari 2600, and at the foot of the chair an Atari 5200. 

I may have missed some details in those pictures, if so don’t hesitate to tell me (and yes the grey writing on the bottom of the picture is due to my computer, it’s not from the original video Xp).

Bryan Fuller revealed on Twitter that there was a scene cut from the episode “Come to Jesus”.

When we saw Bilquis as a homeless, sick and forgotten woman in America, there was supposed to be a sequence when one of Easter’s rabbits, while Bilquis was sleeping, came near her to “poop” some money as well as jelly beans.
