I was once watching American Gods and there is a scene where Mr. Wednesday tells Shadow Moon "Oh, it's my day" when he learns that the day is Wednesday.

I began to think about what did he mean "my day". Then I remembered that >!Wednesday derives from "Woden's Day", "Woden" is another word for "Odin". And thus Mr. Wednesday is Odin.!< This was then revealed in one of the last episodes of the season.

I read the book, and there were so many not-so-subtle hints early in the book that it seemed like it wasn't supposed to be a surprise. I think the show made it more of a reveal, but if you know literally anything about Odin or norse mythology (even the Marvel version) the clues were substantial.

This is just called "having media literacy".
