    I find it funny that Death of the Endless gets offended that everyone is willing to visit her sibling's realm (Dream, Desire, etc.), but no one wants to enter hers. Plus, everyone meets her twice. One when they're born and another when they die.

      Exactly, I wish people would realize this, just because they live in the Godsphere, doesn't mean their influence isn't present outside of their own respective universes. Everyone universe and story contains some form of Destiny and Death, as well as all the other Endless, they cannot be avoided and will just return when said concept or idea is needed or utilized. They're high up in heiarchal status imho in terms of power, they transcend the concepts of power, while Lucifer may have destroyed Dream of the Endless, Dream just returned in a new form.

      the others too, simply their realms are inside the Godsphere, why would they be in the Monitorsphere where there are practically just a couple of dozen hidden living beings inside that small dimension a when they can be at the heart of creation and where the thousands of billions beings can visit them more easily?

      Honestly there were large sections of the Sandman where Dream was kind of a bit player. Heck the whole run of A Dream of You he's barely present, same with Brief Lives which was really more of a Delrium story, or World's End. That's what made it so good though. You could have all these things happening and you could see how they're wrapped in the Sandman's sphere, but he didn't have to be the main character in every story.

    For those who don't know the story, Daniel is more than an heir picking up the title of Dream of The Endless. Morpheus sort of explains it in the Kindly ones. Every aspect (incarnation) of Dream is a facet of a greater whole, a sort of great crystalline entity. You see all these different aspects of Dream in Overture. It's harder to explain than just saying Heir but Daniel is Dream and has that ten billion years or so worth of knowledge even though he's not actually Morpheus, he's a different facet or aspect of Dream.

      The Endless. plain and simple.
      They are endless, they can't not exist while something is a thing. To kill the Endless, the Beyonder would literally need to completely annihilate the whole multiverse including themselves. And even then I can't say for sure that the Endless would be gone.

    I don't think he died becuase he wanted to protect the Dreaming. That was for sure a factor, but I think Dream let Death take him because of all the conflicts he was having with himself, mainly. Since he was freed from his imprisioment, Dream started to change and to see other perspectives (on the matters of Nada and Hob, for example); after he killed Orpheus, it was kinda like the last straw (that's why Death says he's been "making preparations for that moment for a long time, even without realising"): Dream couldn't really change, but also couldn't live with himself anymore, his older self, so he just went away.
    Excelent video by the way.

      There's a comicbook (Action Comics issue 894) where Death of the Endless told Lex Luthor that she's aware of dead people coming back to life, she was like, "It's no big deal. They'll come back to me regardless." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
      Considering how often the dead have come back to life and/or people have near-death experiences in DC universes, it makes sense that she'd have a supreme amount of nonchalant patience, lolz.

    To me the story of Morphius is a more complex plot, it gives hints throughout the volumes that Morphius is contemplating quitting his role, but he cannot abandon his responsabilities, he is trapped by his morals, so he elaborates a plot by manipulating those around him perhaps even unconciously, he names an heir for no apparent reason, he plays Desire's games, he convinces Lucifer to quit his duties - perhaps as an experiment- , and there is Death- we see in the Orpheus storyline that she exists outside of time, all this time she knew what Dream was doing

    I'd contend that Despair, Desire, and Delirium are all pretty fleshed out as well in the context of the story of The Endless. Destruction has more of a McGuffin (MacGuffin?) feel to him. The only one we don't really get a comprehensive view of is Destiny, but Destiny's a difficult character to personify. Since people are talking about it, I'd like to see Rob try to research and tackle the whole CrossGen line of comics...that failing was a real shame and Disney owning the rights but doing nothing with them (last I heard anything) is a crime.

    The thing I really like about the endless is that they are above the concept of strength and the nods that respect that over characters give them. My favourite incident when Dream goes to Hell to look for his items and that morning star who is top tier strong in the DC/Vertigo universe but even he understands that he is hopelessly outmatched so would opt to talk and bargain with him rather than any attempt to dominate or defeat him that he might be able to do with other characters.

    The reason why Dream is terrible in his relationship as it feeds “Desire”, where Dream does not want to be controlled by.
    Desire & Despair despise Dream, because of people’s dream, people tend not to desire nor to despair anymore.
    Desire caused Corinthian to desire in living in the Waking world & to kill people, thus forcing Dream to walk on earth. Desire also pushed Roderick Burgess to want his dead son to be back, thus imprisoning Dream. Despair’s realm grew, while Dream is in prison, while people died in their sleep & Corinthian is killing & inspiring the Collectors.
    Desire impregnated the sleeping Vortex while Dream in in prison, & Dream almost killed Grandniece of Desire & Vortex that could cause his life. Desire sets everything in motion for Dream’s demise.
    In Season 2 Desire will set the motion by influencing Lucifer to want to be with humans, where Lucifer will handed the Key of hell to Dream, where he will face demons & entities that wished the key for themselves to rule Hell.

    Very, very good video. The Daniel Hall thing is a bit difficult to explain when you really get into it. In The Kindly Ones you get a sort of explanation about Morpheus being just a facet of a greater jewel (Dream of The Endless) and how another facet can take its place. And also easily be mistaken as the entire whole. They are both Dream of The Endless but different aspects of the greater whole that is the true entity that is Dream.
    In The Sandman Overture we see Morpheus co-exist autonomously with these other aspects of Dream. They are so autonomous that he gets tricked into thinking a certain cat is another aspect of Dream.
