@@fthurmanMO, Desire is not just genderfluid. Desire is sexfluid, shapeshifter capable becoming whatever Desire want or people want to see Desire. Like Loki being able to be pregnant and gave birth to Sleipnir.
right now I think I want to read the sandman comic instead. I can't even to wait what's coming in the series! I must stop this curiosity and focusing back into my real life. Netflix is killing me. and Tom Sturridge as a Dream..are so temptation..100% view temptation❤️
This probably won’t happen, but i would love if they made a animated anthology series on The Sandman Universe alongside with the live-action show. Each episode would have a different animation art style (2D, 2D.5, 3D, 4D, Stop-Motion, you name it) including stories of Lucifer, Constantine, House of Whispers, Book of Magic, etc. It would be really nice 👍
2:38 wait... why couldnt unity become the vortex while under the "sleeping sickness" ?? She would be asleep - in Dream's realm... so she'd be able to manipulate/visit other dreams... ??
Could've been that desire did some messed up thing were he played off her desires of living a normal life and managed to make a fake world for her desires(?)
That pumpkin Jack lantern guy is crazy how I had a nightmare as a kid that looked exactly like that where I was trick or treating and a pumpkin came alive and started to jump towards me which I’m sure many others have had similar but I swear it looked like a carbon copy of the shows character
I read the comic as each issue was released. Well, Gaian was about halfway done when I was introduced to it. Fresh out of High School, folks in my dorm knew cooler stuff than I did. But then I read them as they were released. And other than removing the references to DC’s intellectual property, so it could be released on Netflix, this a remarkably accurate adaptation. I especially liked how, unless there was a compelling narrative-driven reason, they didn’t stick with the same races and genders… eh? If I think about it, the only gender-bent character was Johnna Constantine. Though “his” ancestor who attacks them a couple centuries back had that name and that gender, so it’s interesting that the “modern” Constantine is now a lookalike grandson of the one back then. And canonically, John Constantine was pansexual. (Which was never shown in the Keanu movie, but was a big part of the CW Arrowverse interpretation. So when comic-John talks about an ex-girlfriend, nobody batted an eye. Now a female John Constantine has a female ex-girlfriend. His sexuality was never a big deal in the Sandman comic, because the character wasn’t around much. He had his own stuff to do. And Gwendolyn Christie as Lucifer… chef’s kiss. One thing we miss out on is that, in the comic, when Dream is looking for the Ruby, he first goes to the costumed heroes. When Martian Manhunter sees him, he sees the Martian god(or whatever) of Dreams. Everybody else in the room sees him as the human Dream. As he makes his way through Hell and encounters the damned soul of his former lover, she sees him as a black man. Because she was African (probably from before Homo sapiens sapiens left Africa). Lyta Hall is a DC character that Gaiman used. Her dead husband Hector too. And then there’s their voices. In a purely comic book setting, where everybody’s words or thought bubbles are black text on white bubbles… Dream spoke white on black. Delirium spoke as music on an ever-changing rainbow background. To avoid giving spoilers to those who haven’t read the comics, this next bit will be a bit vague. At the funeral later in the series, the Angel Dumas (the Angel of silence, who therefore does not speak, stands up to give a eulogy. He shed a single tear. And everyone in attendance is perfectly aware of the depths of Dumas’ sorrow and grief. We, the readers of the comic, know what it meant, because there was a bunch of omniscient narrator statements telling us so. Pure exposition without debasing itself by being spoken through the lips of a character. I do not know how they will do that in the show. When they undoubtably pull it off, I will be amazed. What I am not looking forward to is that the 75 issue Lucifer comic was a spin-off of Sandman. And I think there has been a second run I haven’t seen. Technically, the show Lucifer with Tom Ellis is an adaptation of the spin-off comic. But… other than having a couple character names in the show, it had nearly nothing to do with the Lucifer or Sandman comics. Don’t get me wrong… I *LIKED* the show. But it had diverged from the source material so much, it’s almost not worth calling a spin-off. In the comic, half of her face is without flesh. When there are muggles around, she wears the “left side only” face mask, and of course Lucifer can understand her without complications. We barely saw any of that in the show. But, since Netflix owns both, they’re allowed to recycle those characters.
The only prob I had was that I wanted Tom Ellis and Lesley Ann Brandt as Lucifer and mazikeen but the female actor did a pretty good job(Matt Ryan as Constantine would have also been fun but I would much rather have a Tom Ellis cameo)
Do the comics explain how Ryta’s husband was able to be in his own dream when he was dead? I know they say that those in hell dream so I know those in heaven can dream too but does that mean her husband basically wanted to be in his own dream rather than in heaven or wherever he was?
Lol i watched it and then quickly went back to Netflix bc I thought i must have missed an episode. Then i went back to yt and that video was already pulled.
It worked coz 2 things the Actors cast and more Importantly the respect and Understanding of Source material unlike D.V with Dune where his Ego decided to Rewrite the books of F. Herbert ..(Dune 2film) .
Idk why i keep clicking on these EXPLAIN videos when i know they are just recaps and most of them dont offer any additional info using the source. Honest question guys : Does anyone in the comment section actually needed to have the episode explained/recaped to them ?
Some of this show seemed unnecessarily twisted - serial killer conversation, despair self harming by gouging her own face. Other than that, it was relatively interesting.
The comic that takes place in the diner is one of the most terrifying things ever written. What John Dee does to those people is horrible. And there’s no moral like in the show, in the comic he’s just evil. Despair also looks differently. In the comic she’s morbidly obese and is naked.
What will the vortex do? Why is it important? Why did Desire impregnate the old woman? Why did the old woman's vortex powers pass on to Rose? Why wasn't Rose's mother a vortex? Why was Charles Dance's wizard guy character able to capture Dream in the first place? Why did Dream need his 3 objects, what did the 3 objects even DO? Why did Rose's Italian(?) friend get impregnated in her dream the same way as Rose's great-gran, was this just coincidetal that they both fell dream-pregnant? If Rose's great-gran got pregnant in her dream, and Dream says all babies that come into being that way have to be claimed by Dream, why wasn't old woman's baby seized by Dream? Why could Fiddler's Green become a human? WTF was the whole thing with Cain and Abel even about? Why the dragon/gargoyle?? These were just some questions I felt the show didn't answer. Yes, in expeditionary dialogue info was thrown at us, but I watched pretty closely and still couldn't answer these questions clearly when trying to explain the plot of the show to my friend this morning lmao Overall I came around to the series, and by the end loved it, but the first 4 or so eps prior to the Hell episode were absolutely dire and I was close to quitting.
Q3 desire impregnated her so that he could transfer the vortex into a descendant of theirs when dream is free. There is some kind of taboo against endless killing the endless or those with endless blood so he was trying to put dream in a catch 22 type situation
Q7 lyta roses friend(I think she’s Hispanic just btw) got pregnant in a dream cuz she’s near rose and rose being a vortex somehow let her dead husbands soul go to the dreaming instead of the afterlife and also allowed some of what happened in the dreaming to carry over to the real world. It kinda sounds like desire actually kinda r*ped unity physically while seducing her in her dreams
A lot of christian sins that can have one sent to hell have a LOT to do with desires. I think Desire has a lot of power in hell and is plotting with Azazel
All sins have to do with DISORDERED desires in Catholic and Orthodox Christian theology. In Buddhist thought, desire itself--regardless of form it takes--is the enemy, period.
Wow- the sheer ignorance made me laugh. Read the fucking book will you. Desire has been gender-fluid before you were even able to graduate high school. Oh wait you likely didn’t.
The original comics were “woke” before the term “woke” even existed, and Neil Gaiman was very hands-on with show development and casting. Troll elsewhere.
@@ChuffedLemon Exactly. The creator of the Sandman is integral to the show and has resisted previous visions of his creation. I think he deserves his right to tell his story. People who cannot deal with the casting choices need to get over it. Dont watch it then if you can't deal with it.
@@wantonsimone312 he is probably talking about most of the the endless being female, which they also are in the source material or the fact that rose changed skin color

Desire was an amazingly played character, I couldn't keep my eyes from him, and Dream (Tom) was so fantastic in this!
The actor who plays Morpheus. Would make a great Feanor, if they ever do a adaption of the silmariliion.
You are aware that it’s the same man from the boat that rocked?
Wow, now you ve put that idea in my head. He the only man who could do Feanor justice
@@beccabellcampbell4682 didn't know that. He kinda has that dark elf look with a hint of world weariness about him .
I always imagined Desire being played by an androgynous woman but the actor did a fantastic job.
I mean Desire does change forms quite frequently... but yes I had this thought as well when reading the comics
I thought so too, but it makes sense, since Desire has to be able to father a child in the series, so I suppose it makes sense
Desire, the character, is nonbinary/genderless/genderfluid. The actor playing the part is ALSO nonbinary.
@@fthurmanMO, Desire is not just genderfluid. Desire is sexfluid, shapeshifter capable becoming whatever Desire want or people want to see Desire. Like Loki being able to be pregnant and gave birth to Sleipnir.
Definitely the actor is great and absolutely brilliant on the new quantum leap series
I can't make up my mind who is more amazing - Morpheus or Desire. This really explained what I somehow missed after watching The Sandman two times!
Desire truly stole the show. But Death is the most invigorating portrayal of the character, also beautiful cast.
right now I think I want to read the sandman comic instead. I can't even to wait what's coming in the series! I must stop this curiosity and focusing back into my real life. Netflix is killing me. and Tom Sturridge as a Dream..are so temptation..100% view temptation❤️
I had doubt about the show after hearing about it years after I finished the book. But honestly i enjoyed it. It was fun.
Omg I was wondering what the seventh sibling would be and I came up with destruction 😂
dubstep.
it’s delirium
Drogon
@@kienduong5317 its not delirium
@@_friedtofu Technically Delirium/Delight is the 7th sibling as she is the youngest.

Check out the comic books by Neil Gaiman
@@VizzyTheCreator The comics are fantastic :D
Yah kinda like the a thousands cats episode.
@@juanitacanon3120 That episode was my favorite.
Exactly my point. Animated series with different animation styles for each story would be the perfect medium for this type of story.
The content turned out to be brilliant.🤩
The Dream/Lucifer fight makes for some great future content, it's a change from the comics I really appreciate
Such a good show! 👏🏽
2:38 wait... why couldnt unity become the vortex while under the "sleeping sickness" ?? She would be asleep - in Dream's realm... so she'd be able to manipulate/visit other dreams... ??
Maybe desire severed her from the dreaming world since there was so records of unity's dreams in the library
Could've been that desire did some messed up thing were he played off her desires of living a normal life and managed to make a fake world for her desires(?)
@@rose-py8cz great thoughts! thanks rose :)
because Dream was captive during this time, so he couldn't kill her
I love this show! I’m gonna have to watch it for the 3rd time😂❤️
Azazel looks cool, hope he's the main villain season 2
Sorry to spoil the fun but he barely shows up💀
Im going to a remote farm in Wales soon which shall be the perfect place for Mushrooms and a full Sandman rewatch. Also lots of lucid dreaming.

Ok so they did seem to officialy remove the sa of unity in the comics that's probably a good thing
I find this series amazingly soul inspiring
The whole show feels like a weird dream
Sure needed your insight! Thank you.
The show is good, the comics are masterpieces.
Very nicely summarized!
Not even the vortex herself knows what the vortex is
WHERE IS THE TRIXIE AND KATYA EPISODE?
It showed the two episodes that weren’t released, so they pulled the episode. If you didn’t watch it early then you didn’t get to see it sadly.
@@megannwalsh yeah, i saw it, know it all lol im asking them to rerelease it. 🤡

"The Will of D."
Read the comics
Lucifer reminds me of "Him" from The Powerpuff girls.
Some of this show seemed unnecessarily twisted - serial killer conversation, despair self harming by gouging her own face. Other than that, it was relatively interesting.
The comics are just as twisted. : )
The comic that takes place in the diner is one of the most terrifying things ever written. What John Dee does to those people is horrible. And there’s no moral like in the show, in the comic he’s just evil.
Despair also looks differently. In the comic she’s morbidly obese and is naked.
It's toned down compared to the comics
I’m still confused about the last episode. What was the purpose of that last episode 😂😂
in the next season, lucifer, despair and desire will move against dream
Vortex part was underwhelming as f
The twist was good but they should’ve added a scene to show it like a flashback
ares is a woman, very interesting
The sandman doesn't have an ending.
it is endless
Is this narrated by Neil Gaiman?
No, I don't think so.
No, not at all.
If you want to know what Gaiman sounds like, he's the voice of the dead raven in the last episode, the animated one with the cats.
What will the vortex do?
Why is it important?
Why did Desire impregnate the old woman?
Why did the old woman's vortex powers pass on to Rose? Why wasn't Rose's mother a vortex?
Why was Charles Dance's wizard guy character able to capture Dream in the first place?

Q8 unity got physically pregnant by desire. The hospital prob assumed someone r*ped her. Lyta got pregnant by a ghost/dream in an actual dream.
Q4 Q5 desire orchestrated his capture and somehow contained the vortex to pass it on to however will cause dream the most problems
Q6 i think it is just a way for him to focus his powers cuz he said something like that after the ruby was broken.
Q7 lyta roses friend(I think she’s Hispanic just btw) got pregnant in a dream cuz she’s near rose and rose being a vortex somehow let her dead husbands soul go to the dreaming instead of the afterlife and also allowed some of what happened in the dreaming to carry over to the real world.
