Between Discworld, Sandman, and Good Omens I think Pratchett and Gaiman managed to make the 3 best versions of Death, this being Death's more...philosophical side.

Having met Terry Prachett, I can fully understand his questioning why his stuff hasn't fared better in the US. Yes, his humor is British, but I think it's a tad more universal than, say, Monty Python, and they were embraced in the US. I've seen almost none of the videos for his stuff other than clips on KZread. He deserved better here.

@onewhosaysgoose4831

Monty Python's British humor has caught on in the US because it is humor that is obviously "british," which is much easier material for an American to use in a low effort joke about britishness. The underlying attitudes that vary between british and american humor are much harder to make a meta joke about.

I started reading Pratchett in the late '80s, with "Colour of Magic" (and yes, I was also raised on Python and Fawlty Towers in the US); the first few were a bit lightweight, but once he really developed the characters and built out the world I was hooked. Once the books started including social and mythological elements that tied them to the human experience...rapture. And yeah, I own all the videos -- even a copy of HF on DVD, complete with a packet of teeth from the Tooth Fairy's castle! ;-)

There’s a fan comic that put forth that those two as well as sandman’s Death and others are one and the same. “Much too large a concept to only be looked at any one way.” When noted that any version of him bound to an evil child necromancer was still a problem, he shrugged, turned into Grimm and noted that whenever Billy or Mandy wanted to do something really dangerous, “Den I jus goof it up!”

In the antagonistic side, I like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish's depiction of Death, who's just monumentally pissed at people who take life for granted. He's not exactly evil, just has an unorthodox method of teaching people a lesson.

I love death's earnest attempts to engage in human niceties, He never quite gets it, but the intentions are so sweet. "I HAVE BROUGHT YOU SOME FLOWERS. She stared at the dry, dead stems. ALSO SOME CHOCOLATE ASSORTMENT, THE SORT LADIES LIKE. She stared at the black box. ALSO HERE IS A DIAMOND TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU."

I must confess, Susan is a beautiful woman in possession of an intriguing disposition.

"GRAND-DAD? GRANDFATHER I CAN LIVE WITH, BUT GRANDDAD, YOU'LL BE CALLING ME GRAMPS NEXT." Death-Soul Music Has he become more accepting of 'Granddad' since then or is this just minor inaccuracy in the adaptation? It's not a major thing, just that little conversation was an example of Terry's more subtle wit and a reflection of Death's character. I have read all the books I just don't own many of them.

Death is underappreciated. I wanted the boys on Supernatural to thank Death for making life possible.

They nailed Death. In the books, Death is immortal, omniscient, omnipresent etc so if you ask him huge cosmic scale philosophical questions he can give you matter-of-fact answers. But he misses the point of little things humans do.

This is an interesting moment: Death has seen humanity evolve, understands the power of belief, yet doesn't seem to understand the difference between drawings of snowflakes or robins and the items themselves, and seems embarrassed that the card did not come out as he hoped, and he cherish Susan enough to make it for her.

Susan knows better than that. Death doesn't determine any outcomes, must not do so, in fact. He IS the final outcome for everyone. Hogfather is actually the one book where he manages to get away with rescuing a life and that was because he was simultaneously acting as the Hogfather, who, much unlike Death, is allowed generosity in that matter because he brings gifts.

Loved de Mort, always cracked me up because my grandfather was named Mortimer. Absolutely loved all of his work, fun to read and much to think about.

En México adoramos a la muerte y en todas las peliculas la ponen de mala y me gusto que en esta pelicula es justamente como pensamos de ella aqui en mi pais

recently watched this movie and loved it, shame arent more live films out, i know a few, so far death and susan is my favorite character in terry's work of fiction from what im able to find.

Oh wow! It’s Mary Crawley!

Death, you always cheer me up. 8D

I love this scene

I like how when Death says "Did you know? In a world so full of wonder, they managed to invent... Boredom?", Susan's basically does a "That's fair" kind of face. XD

this is adorable

13 years ago, good lord time flies.

!!!! It's whatsherface from Downton Abbey! I am so rewatching this on Chris-- Hogswatch..

i love susan i wish there had been more of her in the movie = )

Love it.

Less of a 'Good night' and more of an 'Au revoir'...

Boredom is a luxury, not many can afford. That boredom can also be invested into better things.

Nigel Planer was the best narrator for the books. Steven Briggs did a decent job but didn't capture the breadth of characters Nigel Planer did. His Granny Weatherwax, Vetinari, Death, Nanny Ogg, and Vimes are still the best ones that have been narrated.

You had me at "after helping save humanity's ability to imagine and create" :-) ... but I'm not too sure what to make of this! ...I didn't see this film... I guess in the movie's larger context what at first blush seems funny/campy could be touching, whimsical, fascinating... (Never mind.)

@Chocmarywarren I am guilty of such boredom, shamefully.

@JustAPrayer yes, boredom now takes the form of Facebook.

Terry Pratchett is, in my humble opinion, responsible for two of the three most profound quotes in human history: "Humans make life interesting. Do you know that in a world so full of wonder they have managed to invent boredom?" And then the whole speech why humans need fantasy to be human, and how morality and justice are human inventions. And both are from hogswatch. The only quote comparable to that is this one by Bertrand Russell: "The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."

death cares.

"Did you know in a universe so full of wonders they have managed to invent boredom?" -Death In a universe so full of wonders and having evolved a brain so advanced that we can understand and appreciate these wonders, Humanity has invented boredom as a defense mechanism. If we spent all our time going "Wow look at that! we'd never get anything done. Boredom also makes is strive for things. First we developed imagination, then we invented boredom so we could survive our own brains.
