- DC Comics introduced us to a whole new world of mind-blowing characters and concepts through the comic book series The Sandman, which is written by Neil Gaiman. It is about the seven siblings who are known as the Endless. They came even before the gods and are the anthropomorphic embodiment of certain aspects of life. The Endless siblings are Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction.
The comic book is named after the main character in the story, who is known by several names, including Sandman, Morpheus, and Dream, the third oldest sibling. He has one of the most important jobs in the universe, and it is directly tied to the lives of the mortals. In this video, we will be exploring everything about Sandman. So, without further delay, let us get right into the video and experience the genius of Neil Gaiman’s storytelling.

Supposedly, Dream's normal appearance was drawn to reflect Neil Gaiman himself. Death's appearance was inspired by a meeting with a lady the group met named Cinnamon Hadley. (RIP). Destiny has been a DC character for quite some time. There was a 1980-ish Superman comic with the very same Destiny it in, showing Superman how he couldn't change anyone's true destiny.
The look of desire was inspired by the Patrick nagel art of Duran Duran albums
Delirium was inspired by Tori Amos.
Destiny was originally a host for a 70s horror comic Weird Mystery Tales. Cain and Abel. The three witches. Lucien. Eve. They were all 70s horror comic hosts.
Lucifer is based on the appearance of David Bowie. Delirium is based on novelist Kathy Acker.
Also; Not Quite; Dream is based on the 80's band Bauhaus singer I Peter Murphy. People just assumed that he is based on Gaiman, because of the similarities. Gaiman apparently cared for that post punk scene.
Sandman is a Masterpiece of art. I invite everyone to go and read it. Its TOP NOTCH higher art. Its amazing what Gaiman and team did in Vertigo.
in the process so good so far
Art is a scam
@@jeronp420 sure Jan gtfo
@@BinahAtala no ill stay. Art is just a scam so the wealthy can have asset write offs with taxes. 🤡
It really feels like the writing is different in each episode. I didn’t like episode 5. Each episode is unique.
I just finished watching the entire 1st season. I was concerned before watching it that I was going to be a flop but was pretty impressed after watching it. The storylines and characters were mainly kept in tact. Of course there were some changes. I'm sure having gaiman there helped keep it in line.
Sandman is one of the best graphic novels ever created. Since Neil Gaiman himself is part of the production team, I'm expecting this show to be really good. Fingers crossed. 🙏
Its the only thing given me hope, that Mr Gaiman itself is there and he REFUSED many previous attempts to take Sandman into series/movies. We can only dream and i hope well dream, and dream and dream.
Yes!! I absolutely love this series, have for years. All the adaptations Neil’s been on the production team for have been great, so I’m holding out hope for this show.
We gotta keep in mind that it'll never be exactly the same as the comics but, that doesn't mean it'll be bad.
It was amazing
I've enjoyed it. Never read the comics so I have no frame of reference but for what it was I liked it. Excited for season 2!
The name of the grimoire ("Liber Paginarum Fulvarum") translates as 'the book of yellow pages' ... do people still remember The Yellow Pages? :)
The show was fire I really enjoyed it and went in not knowing much about it about the vibe was crazy 🔥🔥🔥
same! I had no idea it connects to the Lucifer show, constantine or that it's even DC
episodes 5, 6, 9, and most of episodes 8 and 10 all blew my mind to some degree. Very impressed. Episode 1 is solid too, so it kicks off very well also. It's interesting... instantly basically. Only episode 7 I felt was truly weak, slow, and dull -- as it was setting things up. Overall, it's amazing and a must watch. They managed to have what felt like very experimental episodes like 5 and 6, and also have exciting, brilliantly plotted episodes like 9 and 10 too. It had both self contained episodes, and yet an overarching holistic plotline which tied everything together.
In short, it's very well written, very smart minds, and obviously extremely well produced too as it's all gorgeous and flawless looking. This is something that I think is going to grow and grow and grow...
My favourite dc comics are
Watchmen
Saga of the swamp thing
Hellblazer
The Sandman
Injustice comics
They made other good comics but these to me are just masterpieces.
You could take a look at V for Vendetta too
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 Waling 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.
this series was my entire HS experience I was a nerd and a misfit but i always felt at home inside Neil Gaimans world of dreams and now as an adult watching it come to life i am looking forward to this interpretation of a masterpiece
I must say, the Netflix series did flesh out the Sandman universe in such great detail, particularly the first episode. And although I have my reservations with all the gender swapping and Joahnna Constantine instead of John (which according to Neil Gaiman himself was due to some rights issues with a JJ Abrams who is doing his own Constantine thing), I think the Netflix series did a decent job .
I agree, everyone is either gay or black now, which is whatever, just do not let it pull me out of the world by making me notice it.
@@jesseross639 huh 🤨
@@jesseross639 "I hate how characters in shows can be gay and black because I hate being reminded that they exist" this is what you just said
@@kiranbharadia imagine you are at a concert. You have paid a high price for these tickets and you're really enjoying the show. The theatre is packed. Suddenly, you hear the calls of parent birds from a birds nest high in the rafters. "Peep! PEEP! PEEP! Peep!! Peeppeeep! PEEEP!" It doesn't ever stop and you start hearing it over your favorite songs. Soon it becomes all you hear. You're a liar if you don't admit this is ruining the concert for you. Does it mean you hate all birds? Or isn't more the truth that these particular birds are being annoying and ruining a good experience for you? In fact, you might probably be more friendly to birds if they weren't screeching at the top of their lungs everytime you try to enjoy yourself.
There's a bunch of non diverse/ less inclusive media made over the years. Take your pick if acknowledging other people different from you exist trolls.
Best. Comic book. Ever.
A few months before the series ended I decided to stop reading comic books, because I didn't want to see Dream die, and without a new issue of Sandman, there would not be a reason to go to the comic book store merely to pick up copies of the lesser franchises.
Since then I have not read many comic books, but I have read quite a few novels and stories by Neil Gaiman.
By the way, I stopped watching the video when it was obvious that you were going to spoil the finale, because one day I will finish reading the series.
Dream commit suicide because he has see all fcked up stuff living being think of or subconsciously etc lol
Nothing ever dies, Mr Dream of the Endless didnt die...just a point of view.
Binah is right. This aspect of Dream died, just like how 80,000 years before the series an aspect of Despair died. They actually explain it quite well and you should give it a look. Plus the Endless do show up in the DC universe even after the Sandman series concluded, just very rarely as Neil Gaiman has pretty much TOTAL control over their use. It's melancholic and painful, but still, as Dream said when he entered Hell, he'd endure because he had hope, and honestly the series feels hopeful at the end even with all that happened.
@@whymihere86 Thank the night for Gaiman having total control of their use. I cant fanthom the horrors to endure otherwise
@@BinahAtala Oh yeah. I saw him here in Seattle at the start of May and yeah, if anyone else had control over when and how they were used, we'd be looking at some DCEU movie level crap.
They took away some of the Robert Smith look but I love that so much of it still takes place in London, South London, and they didn’t stick freaking beards on all of the characters.
My 90s goth self is so happy 🖤
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I hope even though this video essay has many spoilers, people still read the comics. Take time to read The Sandman series when you can. It truly is an incredibly rich work of written and visual art. Incredibly smart, beautiful and thought provoking. Some may blow it off as mere comics, but missed details or ah-ha moments are picked up with re-reading. Definitely packed with many bars and mic drop moments. It's trippy, amazing, aching, fun, humorous, and then some. 💙🖤✨
The Sandman will always be my favorite DC comic story ever I'm so excited for this adaptation
Fan of the characters. Was first introduced to them via an audio drama adaptation of the comics, through Audible.
Same. I was aware of the series due to the Novel of the one that takes place in Japan due to my being an anime fan, but the series was out of print before I started making my own money. Now I have the whole series thanks to the collections even though they are a little pricey. I even grabbed the whole of the first two volumes paperbacks and Ocean at the End of the Lane, autographed, at the show he had here in Seattle. Did I pay full price? Yes, but heck that's all he charged, so I figure it was worth it and I'm glad to have them in my collection alongside the hardbacks.
same audible introduction. I plan to relisten part one before watching. I'm 68+and I was introduced to his works thru Maximum Ride series.
@@constancepullen810 Afraid you're confused. Maximum Ride is by James Patterson.
Sorry I meant Good Omens.
I must check that out - I enjoy long stories that I download with Audible:
I already enjoyed the series!
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
A masterpiece! Let's hope the show can live up to it.
LOL. They will mess it up by trying to be woke with already very inclusive content, and therefore it shall suck. No matter how polished it will look it will blow, and we both know it.
I think it was good, but not quite on the level with the comics
It was great
@@StarryMidnight It was very good. It wasn't great. I liked the Corinthian, It was amusing. Dream himself was amazing. And the Irving the Gargoyle was so cute. But in the end, Im just not sure this needed to be made into tv show. Does everything need to be made into a tv show or film? You know what I mean?
What you mean? The series was great. The only issue I found was the dragged out finale for the season. By far the best DC cinematic release in decades.
The audiobook was amazing in the narration, sound effects and voice cast. So even if the live action disappoints me atleast the audiobook stays true to the graphic novel
It's amazing
I just hope DC improvises and Morpheus doesn't die. We need to see more of his story.
Great video bro , the most informing video i’ve seen covering the series / comic book that i’ve seen since the series dropped . only tells us what we should know about the comics instead of trying to flood us with useless information or things we already know from the series . this videos perfect for anybody that search to fully understand Dream . loved the vid bro , keep going brotha
You did amazing, don't know anything about this comic, thank you for your recap!
Glad you included Lyta Hall, it’s odd how the Halls are the only happy true legacies and they cease to exist
Honestly looking forward to see it look's amazing😍.
Nice video, thanks!
Love Sandman such an Amazing character and Gaiman is a phenomenal writer.
I found this in Netflix, this is best movie I had watched. I mean the story and twists for me it's unmatched. You think Dream is cold and selfish but in the end he always brings lessons and realizations and sometimes judgements, hia priority is his power and kingdom because if these things are not functioning well people in wake world are affected. dream was said he is more than a god.
He’s pretty op thanks for this video on him.
8:59 " pocket sand "
- Dale gribble
Loving the new show🙂
Masterpiece series of comic-books! Let's see how the series goes... hopefully in a good way!
I am pleasantly surprised with the show. I have my issues but overall I am pleased with it.
13:25 "another reason behind Dream's cruelty could be that since he has access to the subconscious minds of all lifeforms, he is the only who has the knowledge of the hidden darkness that lurks inside of good."
Has this been explored in any of the chapters in The Sandman comic series? How can I learn more about this?
Awesome
I remember the story. I think it was marvel comics explained that's made me aware of these beings in the marvel universe :0 I hadn't realized it until you named them off. I was like wait I heard about these guys :0
DC owns verito.
Done watching it on netflix...😭❣️ Its🤯🤯🤯 I really recommend it..
the book Liber Pulvarum Paginarium is a joke between Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It translates as The Book of Yellow Pages. It's literally the phone book.
Love it
Beautifull scary entertaining a masterpiece
Tom Sturridge is an extremely charismatic British actor, maybe a little too thin, skinny. Most of the actors are good, there are a few weaker ones. The stories are mostly quite intelligent, the trick technique is great. It would of course have been intelligent to translate the "names" from English, too - or to use the Greek names of the gods: the three goddesses of fate (Moiren), then the seven Eternals /The Endless: The Lord of Dreams/ Morpheus, Dreamer or Lord of the Dreams ; Destiny; Death; Destruction; Desire; Despair and Delirium (fever). There are also other gods, or Lucifer Morningstar (from the comics in blond), with mazekeen, demons and evil spirits like escaped nightmares (e.g. the Corinthian). The age rating is from 18 years and rightly so. In Europe, "Sandman" sounds like a children's fairy tale character. The series and graphic volumes from the 1980s and 1990s are extremely gory.
What annoys me extremely again is all this new woke garbage. Men's roles occupied by women... The proportion of homosexuals in society is about 5 - 7 percent, but here transvestites, transgenders and homosexuals apparently make up a majority in every episode and have sex. It just pisses off all 95 percent normal heterosexuals. So, together with all the bloodlust, I can't really call the series worth seeing, I'm torn.
Why not film the original comic volumes????
just got the deluxe edition Vol. 1 & 2 about two months ago , i still need a few more volumes , and ill have the complete set ,
i dont understand, is the presence the time guy? or are they seperate and the presence is older
nice
William Baker is made as hell right now. lol IYKYK
it is so fucking stupid how Lyta can cause so much destruction and have dream killed. this part of the story makes the whole thing crumble for me.
I like this series but was really hoping for a more darker and more dramatic series with a tad more action. It was good and entertaining but I guess as someone who has never read the comics I was expecting sometime different. I wanted it to be a little more rated R. This felt more disney-ish to me.
It’s poetic, the sandman
Dark horse comics creates masterpieces like hellboy the endless and so on
Morpheus why do I hear boss music?
Kraytos: Sup
I’m so glad it didn’t say beloved. The word seems to be a death sentence as it invites some writers to write their fan fiction of them. I really like sandman but I love discovering new stories and characters. Or old ones I missed.
I am Nammu, Tiamat. Energy using frequencies to experience forms.
I'm Not a Fan Of This Particular Show But can you cover Big Mouth given it's Netflix's animated Golden Goose
no imagination you have young one.
Did you have to spoil the end?
Somewhat off topic, but i actually have a friend named Daniel Bustamante. Very odd coincidence in names.
I’m really enjoying Netflix Sandman
if only the netflix show did it justice.. they got morpheus right.. but robbed us of how cool Death is supposed to look
To say I’m in love with the Netflix special is an understatement !
It's Morphin time!
SOGNI FALSI A RUBARE MONDO 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚
If Dream AKA Morpheus AKA Sandman AKA King of Dreams,
Ever appears in animated tv show or animated movie or video game who should voice him?
🤔 Nicolas Cage!?
How bout Matthew Mercer or
Crispin Freeman
James McAvoy did such and excellent and magnificent job voicing the Lord of dreams in the audiobook.
How bout AJ Locascio? He could voice Dream
Vertigo/DC Comics! Those were such fkn great times!
Netflix have take way too much time bringing this story!!!
They are trying to grab bank with the live action cause the audiobook alone was absolutely stupendous.
Hw i wish Morpheus could fake his death and Death keep him alive for the Next Epic battle against Lucifer.
CHECK YOUR THUMBNAIL
Not sure, what went wrong there. Seems like a glitch, that's been sorted now.
who is johanna constantine? is she the sibling as well?
She is John Constatine's Great Great grandmother
@@arielnatalene3006 really?
Does morpheus have any distant direct descendants?
His siblings the endless, his son Orpheus and there is a set humans that are related to his sibling desire. Theres also his successor to his realm. They come much later.
Omg take my money
Burgess...gess is pronounced like jess...not gus! It's a pretty common surname.
SOGNI FALSI 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💯💯💯💯💯💯
OF CANTANTI OF MUZICA
Hows it morbin over ther =D
This guy reminds me of a gigachad
I still don't get why a "Cosmic Entity" can get manhandled so badly by a single primitive civilization...
Because he is obsessed with rules and refuses to break them. It’s his nature.
That video title nearly gave me a stroke
Is the Constantine of the show DCs John Constantine (just a female)? I’m confused.
She is his sister and she did appear in the comics ,they made her the main because of JJ abarams has his rights.
@@kasrasadrehashemi174 thanks!
is his sister Death the same Death that Darkseid was in love with
OMFG so dream is gona die??!! Omfg no! Ughhh. I cant see him die in season 2 :(
It will be at least 5 seasons so don't worry.
Should be fun. Now finish American Gods TV
in Greek Mythology the grandparents of the gods and parents to sky, earth night and day are Chronos(time) and Rhea(flow) why would nei gayman would replace Rhea with Night is beyond me
Rhea is a titan , Night or Nyx predates the titans same with how gaeia , ouranus, chaos and time predates and god or titan. Chronos is a titan of time not the source of time.
*any
You should read the story abt how Morpheus angered Zeus and Zeus fearing the house of Nyx or Nyx herself leaves Morpheus aline
The Endless aren't gods.
Dream: I am Hope.
Lucifer: I am the Hecate. Vengeance Seeking. Morpheus Ending.
It is unknown how closely the Netflix series would be close to the DC Multiverse. Will we see Scott Free and J'Hon J'Ones the Martian Manhunter here?
I doubt it, they couldn’t even get Constantine right. If they do it I’ll eat my hat.
@@cicolasnage5684 They couldn't get Constantine because DC have other plans for him. I don't know if they have plans for Martian Manhunter currently.
The first episode was cool, but it went down hill fast, by episode 9 i couldn't take it anymore and dropped it.
Sadly they went woke and made it impossible to not think woke woke woke when you saw it.
That make it kind of difficult to be in the world of Sandman when you look at it, because you are waken up in the woke world again and again and again.
It is a serial about woke politics just as much as it is about Sandman.
Neil Gaiman and Neil Gaiman is two very different people, the Neil Gaiman in the present is a sellout.
I tried hard and manage to swallow the first episode, even if it screamed WOKE WOKE to me all the time.
When he/they killed John Constantine with a lesbian woman in the second episode, i realised that i was no longer watching Sandman, there was only in the shadows we still could see Sandman, everything else was woke woke and more woke.
I will recommend the Sandman cartoons, but if you already know them and still want to see the woke TV serial, be ready to swallow one woke elephant after another, or you will be extremely disappointed.
Sandman comic is difficult to get into, it’s very different to DC & Marvel, I dare say it’s anti comic book. The Sandman take you on a journey not bounded by pathos or moral. Sandman is not for everyone.
1st DC that s succes
i just home there will not be any incest here.
In show they make him emo not dark
..
Theres a difference between gothic and emo
JOHN CONSTANTINE WINS
Emo
This title doesnt make sense
If these characters are white then why are they all black in the show?
Only 5,6 E are ok, E 11 is almost narrative.
Dream looks like an emo kid, with nice attitudes, but notlike the master of dream realm
Did the graphic novel also push homosexuality endlessly throughout it?
Yes
It seems Lucifer won after all. Gaimen apparently made his own Faustian bargain in order to see his brilliant creation brought to life on screen. Watching the series was torture and humiliation. I love the source material and genius story crafting characters and universe so much so that I was willing to subject myself to the insult that was done to all, who despite the malicious assault, watched through the display. It is tragic that we must participate in a farce to get even a morsel of something good anymore. Everything comes at a cost, the only reason I was willing to pay the ferryman this time was because of the value inherent in Gaimans work and craft which is one of the only wells which draws water in the desert wasteland that is our soulless modernity, which seems to be,hellbent on eviscerating whatever is left of our connection experience and faint memory of the fullness and inheritance of our human beingness.
Tragic and shameful that a man like Neil would trade off the giants shoulders he stands upon while pissing on their graves.
Gaiman himself is a lord in his own right, like Dream, over the realm of his creations, however, Mr. Gaimen was created as a mere mortal. So, he is subject to the same weaknesses and infirmities and cowardice which plagues all of his fellowes. We are grateful for his great contributions and his efforts which despite all the disappointments found in this project are unmistakably potent.
This book needs a new spine binding, it seems to have become brittle in some spots, but could still be salvageable.
That’s all. I’ve said my piece, and wish you well, but it aught to be conveyed that some feel betrayed. To be toyed with in those secret sacred spaces is not a mere trifle.
A fracture has been caused in the realm, and cannot be undone easily.
This movie should be called Tooth fairy bc of all the Lesbian, Gay n LBGTQ+none odiology I was really excited for this series bc of the comic book YES this was a DC comic book not a LBGTQ manual thnx for ruining a gr8 concept
Well you did not read the comic then
I already read the comics and I honestly can say this series is overrated. its not that unique no wonder why it took quite some time to have it in a Tv series. Also Death and a bit of Destiny is a much more interesting Main Character.
I have a question. Has Sandman always been "woke." I don't mind progressive ideas in a story. But from what I understand it doesn't beat you over the head with "The Message."
Edit; Sandman doesn't seem "woke" to me. Sounds very interesting with 3-D characters and not cardboard cut-outs of "X group of people." I'd definitely give it a watch on Netflix.
...🤨
I would say woke as in it included non binary character, trans characters and gay characters which wasn't common in comics of the time. But being trans or non-binary was not the only defining attribute of these characters, they were fleshed out and had their own motives and pursuits, so you can say it doesn't beat you over the head with "the message". Hope that answers your question.
Woke? Gaiman was fast forward, theres all kinds of people, genders, races, religions and etc in Sandman....way before it was acceptable. Characters were 3d, deep and with texture, no one was JUST trans, they were a person, a human being with many angles living his reality. So if you are homophobic or whatever, you will find Sandman not of your taste. If you dislike current left wing ideas and pletora, you will not find it in Sandman the comic, in the show...i dont know.
It was considered edgy when it was written, for having a a trans character, and for Desire to be what's now called nonbinary, but it's not the same as today's "woke" stories. His characters have actual nuance and can actually do bad things. The only message is that people are diverse, and people can be monsters.
As for the show, yeah, gaimen tried to pander to the woke crowd because he thought his edginess wasn't enough, so changed races and genders of characters. There was an uproar about the actress he chose for Death, among others.
@@humanity600 I haven't read the books myself. I just heard news that people are divided about the actress playing Death. People are saying they're making it woke. Others are saying it's always been woke. Sorry if I was too vague.
Why was the Netflix series full of so many Gay, Lesbian and gender swapping stuff. Legit so weird, did not contribute to the story at all.
Why does it matter to you since u highly doubt you read the comics. Sandman series was always woke.
woke shit by netflix thanks no
You’ve read the comics then?
@@Hamwcam no I doubt it.
very western culture run in their stories, i never believe in culture or tradition it never proves anything, human shiould think about hightechonolgy, evoultion, revolution, high intelligence not into some kid fantasy or illusion. neil gaiman stories is like a gay culture, gay circus, fanboy nerd thing. Watch the terminator and listen to slayer instead.
I love terminator and slayer but what you just said is stupid and did not make a lick of sense.
WASTE OF TIME!
A fan of Gaiman, but not a comic fan and never heard of The Sandman before the Netflix series.
Was BORING as hell for 6-7 episodes and then picked up only slightly. I'm sure Sturridge has good credentials but his performance did not instil the awe of being in the presence of a God or superior being, thanks to the director no doubt. Too much whispering, slow pacing etc and low tones throughout by most of the characters made it totally underwhelming. Even Vortex had about THREE expressions, despite her powers. If other characters did not tell us how powerful they were, we'd never know from their performances or the (lack of) action.
Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian stole the show while Jenna Coleman as Constantine also injected some life into this plodder.
I doubt I'll waste my time on a Season 2, if there is one.
I remember watching a fan film of a single issue of sandman, The dinner issue. it was such a good fan film and really gave me that sandman esque horror vibe. so if any other sandman fan cant wait for the release do yourself a favor and go watch Sandman : 24 Hour dinner ruclips.net/video/Cj7mmvKAK9o/видео.html
