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 👍
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.
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
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(?)
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)
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) .
S1 was just the entrée, introducing the characters, what comes in S2 is far more spicy. The only question is how far down the Lucifer story can they go..?
If Dream had killed Rose, the Kindly Ones would go after him for killing his own family member. This is the law in this universe. Desire knew this and hoped that Dream would be destroyed.
I really like the actress that plays Lucifer but I HATED how they betrayed Lucifer. I loved that it was a strong woman character, but to make her look like a mom from the 70s and wings that look stupid. So disappointing.
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?
My understanding is that he was a ghost in a dream that Ryta wouldn’t get rid of, when Rose began to manifest as the Vortex, proximity caused him to be permanent and allowed them to conceive Daniel. That’s why so many cracks in the dreaming occurred around their Dream House. He wasn’t part of the Dreaming and his presence (made permanent by the vortex) destabilized it. So Dream had to undo the husband as he wasn’t meant to remain in the Dreaming. But Daniel is essentially a Child of the Dreaming itself, which is why Daniel is important in the comics.
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.
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
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 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 was an amazingly played character, I couldn't keep my eyes from him, and Dream (Tom) was so fantastic in this!
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❤️
Desire truly stole the show. But Death is the most invigorating portrayal of the character, also beautiful cast.
Ugh, no.
@@brendaclark5185 Me, Me, Me.
I had doubt about the show after hearing about it years after I finished the book. But honestly i enjoyed it. It was fun.
The Dream/Lucifer fight makes for some great future content, it's a change from the comics I really appreciate
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.

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.
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.
The content turned out to be brilliant.🤩
Such a good show! 👏🏽
Azazel looks cool, hope he's the main villain season 2
Sorry to spoil the fun but he barely shows up💀

I love this show! I’m gonna have to watch it for the 3rd time😂❤️
Just loved the movie. Very nice series. And waiting for the next season. Everything about this movie makes sense in anyway
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.
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
Very nicely summarized!
2:30
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
SPILER ALERT HERE
The missing Sibling is Destruction. he flipped the finger at the Endless and wandered the earth as a ripped hobo.
Sure needed your insight! Thank you.
The show is good, the comics are masterpieces.
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)
Yes, I would have liked Tom Ellis as well. I know people liked the Lucifer they used but I found her a bit meh
Yes, this incarnation of Lucifer & Maze is a letdown.
Where Ican get series wallpapers for my pc?
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) .

Not even the vortex herself knows what the vortex is
I want a season 2 announcement already!!
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. 🤡
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.
Read the comics
may be in 30 years we have a new season
"The Will of D."
Why is it always dream they pick on.
Lucifer reminds me of "Him" from The Powerpuff girls.
the cat scene need to be explained....
ares is a woman, very interesting
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 ?
in the next season, lucifer, despair and desire will move against dream
I wanted the ending of the show explained to me not you telling me a bunch of s*** already know.
The sandman doesn't have an ending.
it is endless
Vortex part was underwhelming as f
The twist was good but they should’ve added a scene to show it like a flashback
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. : )

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.

I’m still confused about the last episode. What was the purpose of that last episode 😂😂
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.
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
