The series will focus on the mysterious Shadow, a man who is released
from prison a few days early after serving a three-year sentence for
bank robbery when his beloved wife Laura is killed in a car accident.
Flying home for the funeral, Shadow is seated next to a man who
introduces himself only as Mr. Wednesday, and this man knows more about
Shadow’s life, both past and present, than is possible. Shadow comes to
learn that Wednesday is, in fact, the god Odin
of Norse mythology and that all of the gods that mankind has ever
believed in are alive in human form and live among regular people.
Shadow is soon thrust into a gathering conflict between the Old gods and
the so-called “New gods”, the gods of money and technology who believe
there is no longer room on Earth for the old gods.
I’ve always felt that Danse’s character arc aborted quite suddenly after his personal quest in FO4 and it really deserved to be pushed further.
The best next step? Danse joining the Minutemen. It’d be the best for both sides; Danse relearns a life outside of the BOS and learns to accept himself and the Minutemen are whipped into shape by a real soldier. (Because he is 100% right that the
Minutemen
are unorganized rabble who fell apart due to lack of discipline and honor.)
