The rule I'm most familiar with is : the longer you stare at a *thing*, the less scary said *thing* becomes. It's not about what you actually hear, it's about what you think you just heard. In this particular case, all the psychological horror around each of the persons. You don't see the worst parts, but you see the setup, which is more than enough to make you fill in the blanks. It's probably the one most disturbing thing I've ever read for that very reason.

"Morpheus needs characters around him who can be honest with him and tell him things for his own good and tell him when he's screwing up, which he can then ignore." Absolutely relatable.

When I was in high school, I was visually confused between Lucienne and Cain. So I appreciate the effort to distinguish between them, at least.

It's so odd to see this on the screen, it deserves to be seen through Neil's vision, I just never thought the comic I enjoyed in relative solitude would break out. I'm pessimistic on what cinema has done to the stories of my youth. This actually excites me. Thanks Neil!

I remember in the beginning of his graphic novel series that Neil Gaiman admitted that Sandman kind of resembled him as a young man; I loved that reference so much and for me it sort of added to my enjoyment of the books. So I admit that when this new series was introduced that I crossed my fingers in hopes that they would find a good actor who could bring that hidden quality of both resemblance and personality to the screen. I believe with Tom that they've succeeded; I so look forward to enjoying this new version of the same journey. Bravo!

Boyd Holbrook was fantastic casting. He brought the Corinthian to life in a way i didn't think possible. The series was fantastic.

vf, these creator breakdowns are so fascinating! thank you getting the dream king's input! I was revisiting the first audiobook the other day, and it's such excellent evergreen listening in the same way that the comics are always a good read. I'm so tickled by what tweaks are made to best suit whatever medium - the way the narration and foley effects paint a panel in the mind's eye just delights me so, so much. can't wait for the series! :)

I’ve always loved the musical/musician visual references in the characters. Morpheus always reminded me of a mix of Robert Smith and Peter Murphy. Death reminded me of a cross between Siouxsie Sioux and Patricia Morrison. Lucifer reminded me of David Bowie.

Neil truly gets it. The art of portrayal... He doesn't care about gender, but the actor's ability to be believable. YESSS 🔥

Episode 5 was so wonderful, it felt exactly like Neil's writing. The way he talks about how his ideas have come to life... there's just so much love there.

So pleased at this interview. Neil is amazing!

I'm glad they carried the philosophy of, "If it isn't broken, we aren't gonna fix it."

I was so taken by the recent audio version of Sandman that as much as Gaiman is involved in this, I still can't quite buy that this series will be better...not saying it can't be (I hope it is!), but the casting and performances of the Audible version were just soooooo good! Will definitely be glued to the screen on Aug 5 😍

E essa entrevista é o motivo de eu amar Neil tanto quanto amo. Ele explica todos os motivos e os porquês das coisas mudarem, não como outras adaptações que mudaram para se encaixar. Ele tem um lore para tudo e eu so posso dizer que expectativas foram criadas

This is my most anticipated Netflix show this year

We need season 2-10 of this yesterday. Seriously, so good.

The casting looks incredible! I'm already pumped about where this is heading 💕

“It took 36 years for it to come to fruition”. - artists: you're not a failure. In this age of hedonism, and instant judgment, creative ripeness still takes faith, support, absolute belief, and who you surround yourself. Never give up. Never.

I am so happy we are getting the John Dee story. Dr Destiny is an under appreciated lesser known Justice League villain and his Sandman story is the best Dr Destiny story. I always hoped that if there ever was a Justice League Dark movie it would partially adapt that story.

under appreciated??? nooo. I recall a very interesting story the "4th Parallel" in JLA Classified. Very clever story. Of course there are a bunch of times he was in silver age comics.

You can just tell Neil is a Dad™with the smooth way he delves into silly/joking territory but still keeps the same conversation going as if he's not. XD

I absolutely love this man and I'm so glad there are others to make his dream come true.

Mark Hamill is gonna be the Pumpkin guy?! One of my favorite actors voicing one of my favorite side characters in the Sandman series!

Never heard Neil's voice just realized he's the narrator on Sandman Audioboonks. Legend.

It is this version of Death, makes me feel warm about having someone nice to pick my soul up while I'm dead.

This is so nostalgic for me. I remember buying all those expensive Neil Gaiman comics as a child!! (ofc my mom bought them for me) The Sandman was a huge part of my formative years. It inspired me to be an artist myself.

In college, I'd buy Sandman comics instead of food. Worth it.

I am SO EXCITED!! I know it sounds ridiculous but I need this show to be a success. At the very least the people involved need to be appreciated because we need several seasons! The whole world they created looks eerie and dreamlike (haha) and I have goosebumps!

It's so cool that Boyd Holbrook finally was able to find a role where he doesn't have to wear those prosthetic eyes.

It's just so well done. Enjoyed season one very much! You're just getting started I hope

Casting Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer was a stroke of genius.

I’m so excited about this. Sandman is a beautiful art piece, that really is so emotional at times. 😃 Thanks Neil for bringing my favorite comic book to life.

I was sold on this show because of how connected Gaiman is

I can listen to him tell his story for hours.

This looks incredibly visually epic. Can't wait to binge it.

Honestly if anything I think Sandman justifies gender swaps or race swaps or whatever cause it's literally a series about stories, and specifically the different versions of stories, where in some Dream is an African man (actually kinda curious what they are gonna do for this one in the series), or a cat, or what have you. This is just a different telling of the story, and what really matters is the core of the character more than the surface details

Well said. As long as the actor nails the characters personality(and Neil says they do) it doesn't matter what they look like. Still cannot believe these inverted-jawline folks care that much about the skin color of the Endless.

You might have seen it since then, but they do have a separate cast for Kai'Ckul in the Nada arc!

Neil Gaiman's commentary is brilliant, witty and entertaining as always! I wish there was an audio commentary for all episodes!

Qué genialidad poder escuchar a Neil hablando del proyecto. Qué emoción lo que viene!!!!

Desire and Despair were the first graphic novel and comic character I was ever fascinated with outside of manga and anime. Desire casted and presented gives the same vibes as I always hoped They would be.

@@user-qo4pd7ie2c it was interesting seeing John Dee's portrayal as a straightforward human compared to the skeletor looking portrayal in the comics. Same kind of thing for Despair in this presentation, she looks standard human not like a goblin beast. I've got to see more of her to see if she embodies the feeling, but so far they didn't do a visual effects thing.
