The thing about John crushing the ruby is that the fates told him it would happen when they said "you'll crush the dream lords power in your hand". So it could've been avoided if John wasn't so delusional

It's not the Dream Lord's power. It's the Dream Lord's life. That's an important difference because the latter motivates John to crush the ruby. He's already talked about a world without the Sandman, and the Fates hand the idea of crushing the ruby to him on a silver platter. The Fates don't tend to lie, but they also don't tend to tell 100% of the truth either. This could be argued as the Fates intervening in the struggle or just making sure that John's future played about how it was supposed to.

This was a deep convo y’all. It’s so true, we pursue our dreams even if they haven’t become reality yet, and without them we wouldn’t be able to continue.

@@Dave_of_Mordor Not really. There are a lot of villains who start their argument with "I know its wrong but..."

The series goes up from here. Episode 6 is fire 🔥

An important point to understand I think is that dreams are not lies. But people in pursuit of their dreams will tell lies. Mostly these are white lies, the ones that get told to protect somebodys feelings or to make the interaction smoother "hello handsome". Morpheus made it clear in this episode, John didn't remove the lies from people with the Ruby. He manipulated their dreams and with that their innermost motivations in such he way he thought they wouldn't lie but bare their true feelings and impulses. Here is the problem with that: To do that he manipulated them in such a way that yes, they told no lies. But they also weren't themselves... Their dreams were played with and through that the truth of their being destroyed. And like Dream said, John took their hope, their dreams away, and what he left is only darkness

Those three women as mentioned in early episodes, are women who knows the past, present, and future.

The atmosphere in this episode is so well done. Partly the background music, partly the camera angles and shots and partly the way that the actors are just slightly off - little hints of tension between them and that they don’t really believe what they are saying.

It’s crazy how it seems so conclusive but they’ve actually barely scratched the surface of all the comics. Neil even said if he got the chance he’d like to adapt overture (the prequels) too and some side stories.

This is one of the most hardcore episodes I've seen in any show

John's "truth" first was saying what you wanted, then truth of what they wanted to do, and then intrusive thoughts as true desire.

Every single video y’all do, I say to myself “that’s so smart”. You boys are sharp! I’m a HUGE Sandman comics fan yet you make points I never considered and guessed correctly more than I’ve ever seen in these reactions.

It is a truly great episode! Some people lie in orde to hurt, betray or deceive others! Some people lie to keep from causing hurt or pain to someone or destroying another person's dreams, passion or hope! I can best explain it "without hopes and dreams we have nothing left"! My ancestors were enslaved in this country over 400 years ago! However, They had hopes and dreams of one day being free ot their loved ones being free! That is how powerful hope and dreams are!!!

I think the live version made the story WAY more coherent and interesting than the comics. The comic version was just kinda... raw chaos and horror. Which is nice, but... this is better. I generally think the changes are great ones, because Gaiman has had 35 years to really think and rethink his story.

Yeah, I do think it was good for what they could realistically show though. It would have been hard to discuss/depict things like *Spoilers for the comic and a lot of nasty stuff* Necrophilia, prison r*pe, and abuse of sex workers on a streaming show.

side note: I believe (in the comic) that the prison John was in was Arkham Asylum (I think Neil didn't bring that up for copyright issues).

Ep 6 is my fav.

This episode was crazy 😮😮

3:45 - John wasn't lying at all, he was being disingenuous or dishonest of the facts. Lying is an active intent to tell a falsehood, being dishonest is an active intent to deceive. You can tell the truth and be dishonest! 10:00 - Sandman is also named Morpheus, as well as Dream of the Endless, and yet another name 26:15 - John isn't into this, he is exposing this...by forcing everyone in the dinner to live out the truth, this was the outcomes. But what happens when you go back to wearing the masks of your daily lives in the midst of all this?

@ShadowyFox_86

A Lie by dictionary definition is "a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth." If he was being disingenuous, then he's lying about intent. If he's dishonest, then he has a disposition to lie. All three of those things, based on definition, are lying. That's why there's a term referred to as a "lie of omission." The argument that you can be dishonest and tell the truth is really stretching your argument than it's supported. John doesn't really lie. That's part of his character. He's honest to a fault. John's response to his mother is delusional thinking, which is totally separate from lying. He genuinely believes what he said about defending himself. That's why it's a delusion: reality does not support his belief. I take issue with the idea of John is forcing everyone to "live out the truth." Thats not really their truth, as Dream points out when he and John are talking about the truth of humanity. John is actively manipulating the situation through use of the ruby. He's removing what he views to be lies, but those don't really lead to the truth. What it does is remove most of their self control and force people into their most base selves. Even Dream points out the flaws in John's "logic" and that what John is doing is taking away the truth of humanity. He clearly chooses to make humanity suffer. I get the points you're trying to make, but they're not supported by what we've seen on screen when it comes to John's behaviors and his mental state.

"I think- you know what it is? [hehhehheh] There's a certain side of your life, where there's people around you who are like, 'YEAH! LET'S GET RID OF HALF!!!' " *falls out, then goes and puts on a black cowboy hat* ALRIGHT, I JUST FOUND THE CHANNEL BUT I SINCERELY LOVE Y'ALL 😂😂🥰

You think this episode was emotional, wait until the next one. Complete 180 tonal shift, but impactful as hell.

the curveballs this episode just throws at you are perfect in its own weird way. the comic and audiobook have much much MORE "details".

Great reaction. This ep is hard to watch. Next ep is my fav.

This is a really good example of why John is delusional. He uses the ruby to make his view of the world reality. It really shows what the ruby and the rest of Dream's tools can do to the mind of mortals.
