So BLA recently went on a tangent about how Vulcan is (seemingly going to be) represented in the new American Gods Starz adaptation:
Is anyone else not buying Vulcan as the god of guns, though? And what's with the dead animals? Vulcan doesn't hunt. God of fire, yes. https://t.co/2SQHj5CCsJ

Why is it I feel like @neilhimself just took a piss on Vulcan as if to say to me "You can't have even this one thing I forgot originally"? https://t.co/IVhnfFFn0b

You know what god would like guns more? Ares. You know what goddess likes hunting more? Diana. NOT VULCAN. https://t.co/Jic7HyZ8VW

Nope. Vulcan is not the god of weaponry. Vulcan is the god of fire and crafts. #AmericanGods gets it wrong once again. pic.twitter.com/sjECwdZhiX

Vulcan creates. He does not destroy. Vulcan is no hunter. No gun nut. Another sloppy twist on myth. https://t.co/8cu5K4m6Fj

Yeah, it feels like bending the gods to your agenda rather than having the gods actually work for your message

Vulcan and the steel town is mine. The guns are @BryanFuller @andmichaelgreen's part of the story.
— Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) January 10, 2017
Yeah, making guns under his purview is one thing. Making Vulcan pro-guns and (looks like) hunting is just pitiful.

That "small town" was actually Birmingham Alabama, the largest city in Alabama. BUT TELL ME WHAT GUNS HAVE TO DO WITH IT. #Vulcan https://t.co/AlcpDxG0IF

Never thought I'd see the day when BLA (@CircoRingmaster) would be defending Vulcan. https://t.co/a6C8pvJTJK

"He was a kindly, peace-loving god…" -Edith Hamilton, on how Vulcan is NOT a gun-loving redneck. #AmericanGods https://t.co/J9ektRRM3m

"With Athena, [they…] were the patrons of handicrafts." -Edith Hamilton, on how Vulcan is NOT a god of weaponry. #AmericanGods

"[He] only was ugly. He was lame as well." -Edith Hamilton, on how Vulcan is NOT a normal-looking dude and sure as hell walks with a limp.
— B.L.A. (@CircoRingmaster) January 10, 2017
I mean, did Bryan Fuller and Michael Green even look at the Wikipedia page for Vulcan? #AmericanGods
— B.L.A. (@CircoRingmaster) January 10, 2017
It just seems like they are struggling to make their story relevant and to work. A good story-or myth-is relevant no matter the age.

At the very least, give me a limp and some character guilt for being the "god of guns" from your Vulcan. Right now, just seems forced. pic.twitter.com/qhRo93nP9n
