@joebaumgart1146

They're all in charge of their opposites as well.

An interesting detail, from Gaiman himself, is that each Endless simultaneously represents their opposite. They're each a yin and yang. This is easiest to see in Destiny: he represents fate, cause and effect, and the inescapable linearity of time. However, he also represents choice. While everyone has a destiny, they are also free to choose their path. Dream represents both pure creativity and unbound feelings, but also logic, reason, and order. You can't have one side without the other to contrast it against. This is why Dream is very strict in following rules, can be cold and extremely rational, and constructs elaborate plans to manipulate events. Death also represents life. She came to be happy and love life when she herself realized this while living as a mortal. Without birth there can be no death. Destruction is also creation. This is why his realm, The Crucible, has an explosion at the center of it - matter in the process of being broken apart and flying off to become part of something new. Delirium is simultaneously insight. Of all the Endless, she is the most intuitive and sees the patterns in reality others are blind to. Desire, very ironically considering their arrogant and greedy nature, must also stand for the absence of self. Desire has always been the most self-blind, and in denial about the nature of the Endless themselves. Desire is too busy wanting things to see that desires always pass, and the self is an illusion. (This is, thematically, why Desire is never satisfied.) Despair is, very simply, also hope. Without hope there can be nothing to suffer from and despair over. Despair will always focus a person on finding a way out of despair and move them towards hope.

At one point Lucifer was close to "death" but when Death (the endless herself) showed up, he just stated, that he was beyond her, and she simply agreed.

I think Delirium might be a representation of knowledge and the human experience. She starts as Delight. Delight of learning new things, new experiences etc. but becomes from the stress of forbidden knowledge and being pulled in so many directions. Basically the embodiment of that one Lovecraft quote.

These Characters are a testament to Neil Gaimans Genius, that, in a time when many Authors in the DC/Marvel realms wrote frankly relatively boring "more badass, more powerfull" Characters, he actually came up with something so rich and thoughtfull.

Honestly delight becoming delirium makes a lot of sense to me and I would bet it happened almost immediately or she was never really delight in the first place but rather was always an embodiment of both. If you're the living manifestation of joy and happiness, even wonder could fall under the category of delight, and you experience and understand them at all moments through your entire existence then you have no choice but to become delirious. Particularly as they are supposed to be the concepts as understood and perceived by humans and mortals.

Death's aesthetic was inspired by a real person named Cinnamon Hadley, who passed away within the last 2 years. My dad was a good friend of hers and I only met her occasionally but she had that Goth Queen look every time. RIP Cinn

Destruction said I don't have to do anything beings will do it themselves, destruction will occur in the universe by itself. What a cool way to use your power without even using it

I think the Endless' vagueness is intentional. We as humans aren't meant to or probably not even capable of understanding the inner workings of the Endless. All of existence has been here long before we were born and it will continue long after we are gone.

Delrium defines Consiouness/Perception. To exist to just be~ is to be Delight, the simple ability to appreciates ones surroundings like a cat enjoying the sun. however Consciouness pushed to its limits is to perceieve things that are not there, from inspiration to madness. Its best to think of Delirium as perception, hence why she can know things that Destiny does not she's on a higher plane of awareness to even the other endless, she is sight and sensation, she is imagination seeing allowing for people to see into dreams realm.

Yeah, that rule with his permision I believe was created as a direct concequence of a writer of captain atom using her and others agents of death in the DC universe as simply aspects of death, with her and her happy go lucky approach representing the kind side it has, which was very disrespecting of the original idea behind the character and also is a demostration of one of the most annoying trends that writers tend to follow (now more freely than ever) nowadays which is retconning everything until it fits in their story. Seeing someone doing something like that constantly with these character would be very sad, since it would basically reduce a couple of good and complex character to a convoluted mess that caused the first reboot of DC in the first place.

It's a fools errand to kill an Endless as they will simply comeback. It's is far better to try and seal an Endless or force them to quit. There's also a theory that since Destruction left his post, the Multiverse compensated for it by allowing Crises to happen.

The concept of delight or blissful joy results in our delusions or well delirium. It's like losing yourself in the pleasure of happiness. Too much ambition mixed with the concepts of desires and avoidance of despair. We lean into delusional blissful joy. I love the concepts themselves because of how each of them is correlated to one another.

I always wondered about them and their origins and purpose. This video definitely helped thanks definitely subscribing :))

I have some Sandman comics, and I have "Death" by Neil Gaiman. They're pretty great.

I love Death so much, onw of my first cosplays ever ♡

YES he finally did a video on The Endless, plz do more Sandman videos

Love you, love the channel, always well researched!

The series beautifully explained the story of Death❤️

Destiny appeared in DC Comics prior to Sandman (I first saw him in a Justice League of America comic in the ‘70s). The DC Wiki says he was created by Marv Wolfman & Bernie Wrightson in 1972. -- Re: the Audible production of Sandman: yes, it’s good, and covers the first 20 issues of the series into Dream Country. Producer Dirk Maggs also adapted Batman’s Knightfall story arc for BBC Radio many years ago, and it was very successful.

Nice video more especially now that I'm currently watching the Netflix adaptation of the Sandman I'm enjoying it. It's brings something fresh and new and all the characters are so interesting and so relatable.

what about death’s floppy hat collection!? it’s very important 😌

Death also has a DC showcase

love this piece

It gives me chills when I hear death say "I'll put the chairs on the tables turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave" idk if it's how inferior we are or just how she preserves the world as nothing but a restaurant and there being nothing after everyone is dead

Who else is here after watching The Sandman (Netflix)?

“Dream is one of the most powerful entities in existence” * remembers Speedrunner vs 3 Hunters Finale: Rematch * Yep, sounds right

I just watch the series few days ago and I enjoyed it, I hope to see more about the endless siblings in season 2. I hope there will be a 2nd season.

Desire (from the comics) looks like one of the portraits you'd see when getting a haircut at a salon.

"The Sandman" is one of my all time favorite comics. Especially it is good for reading several times. Because you always discover little things that you have missed before. At this point I can only recommend a spin-off that is at least as good. - Lucifer I'd love to see a video on Lucifer.

Johnny Depp as Dream huh? I see how you think. White make up black hair weird character. You know Johnny Depp looks for any excuse to wear white makeup, black hair, and be weird. Lol. You know that's kind of right up Tim Burton tree. Maybe. I can see that. Good comment.

Tim Burton, and the worlds he creates, are - he's explicitly admitted - racist. Black folks don't fit the aesthetic. I can't imagine how that would jive AT ALL with Gaiman's artistic vision.

Thank you Drake I always appreciate your videos

The Audible version is AMAZING I haven't read the comic- I hope they do the whole series on audible.

If there is any graphic novel that needs to be read, it's this one.

Oh Hell yes. I've been into Sandman since it was first published. Gaiman's story was....just brilliant. I love graphic novels but, Sandman is the standout for me. I've re read the entire arc every two years or so since 1989. And writing that I can't believe how long the story has been that important and significant to me. Thanks for this video.

This comic book series made me an adult (I read them when I was 18 and they gave me a better understanding of everything I learn since).

3:35 Does this mean Destiny has sight beyond sight? Yes that was a thundercats reference.

I think that Delirium represents the chaos of the universe, its randomness and flux. One of the thoughts is that (as Delight), she fully walked through Destiny's maze, since she found it so enjoyable. However, she was somehow changed by the experience into Delirium. Maybe she now lives in all times of the universe at once, seemingly supported by how some of her dialogue is in response to statements made in other parts of the story. Maybe she just saw the banality of order and found "delight" in the chaos. Regardless, by helping to define the chaos of the universe, she also helps define the order that it's able to run with. Suns can form, planets can orbit, math makes sense, etc. It's even shown in a scene in the comic, when she does gather herself up enough to become lucid and provide meaningful advice to her sibling, that Dream starts to break down and become more delirious. As if the chaos needs to go somewhere, if not contained within her. Not having their backstories completely fleshed out was a great decision by Neil Gaiman. It allows our personal canon to fill in the gaps in whatever way we feel flows best in that moment. So the stories of the Endless can be just that: endless. Living in on a million minds across a million moments for as long as the stories are read.

Here before the series!

Love this! Thank you

3:34 He is the sword of omens 🤣. He has sight beyond sight
