The Endless - Absurd Humanoid Lovecraftian Gods That Are Embodiments Of Human Feeling & Life Cycles

- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- In Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Universe we meet a dysfunctional family of seven brothers and sisters who are known as the Endless. They certainly do not fit into the usual definition of family since they are the physical embodiments of natural concepts that are related to life. And as the name suggests, these concepts are endless and continue to go on whether you and I exist or not.
From oldest to youngest, the siblings that make up the Endless family are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium, who was previously known as Delight. Each of the siblings has their own important role to play in the smooth functioning of mortal life. But where did they exactly come from? And why are they so important? These are some of the questions that we will answer in this video. So, without further delay, let us dive right in and explore the story of the Endless.

We have totally lost the meaning of Lovecraftian. It doesn’t describe The Endless in the least.
I know, these days anything remotely gothic is considered Lovecraftian for some reason. It has nothing to do with the Cthulhu mythos.
I agree with both of you
I think Marvelous Videos got The Endless in the Sandman mixed up with the Morehead/Benson film The Endless, which actually had Lovecraftian horror.
yeah they are using lovecraftian to describe nearly every video now, I think it's the new click bait phrase.
@@necrogenesis1981 something can be lovecraftian without being directly related to his work, saying that, the endless definitely aren't lovecraftian
How are they lovecraftian?
They are cosmic, but not unfathomable or monstrous. They don't exactly exist in the stars either or explicitly emit horror. They are flesh and blood in a sense, they have feelings and emotions, we can understand their motives and relate to them. There is so little lovecraftian here it's an insult.
People are beggining to throw that term around willy nilly.
You beat me to it. They've practically nothing in common with the Cthulhu Mythos.
@@mikestanmore2614 actually the Dreamlands are part of the Lovecraft Mythos. and it says several times in the series that although they might LOOK human, and to varying degrees relate to human..they AREN"T. not even close. Delerium once goes on a rant about how thier very presence in the material world WARPS it. Something along the lines that if one of them sees a bolt of lightning in the sky and takes notice of it, for CENTURIES afterwards mortals will occasionally see the ghost of that bolt of lightning. Some of them will even be killed by it.
@@alexsolomon7991 Lovecraft's dreamland is the same dreamland as Gaiman's? Interesting, but I still don't find them in any way similar to Azathoth or Cthulhu. Their thoughts were unfathomable, and certainly never divulged in a story.
@@mikestanmore2614 I didn't say that precicely... in both cases the Dreamlands were....poorly defined. Space and time can be quite subjective in both. I don't recall Gaiman ever mentioning Cthullhu directly. And you are SOMEWHAT wrong about Cthullhu. People forget he was actually quite small in the pecking order compared to Azathoth. Which is a bit like saying a black bear isn't as strong as a Grizzly. it's quite true..but BOTH can kill a human quite handily,. remember that "Great Cthullhu" was defeated by a dude driving a BOAT. Sure, he wasn't killed, but "banished back to Rlyeh until the stars are right again" is a pretty solid defeat in my book. Azathoth is on a whole other level.
Its important to also note that Destiny knows, not just how everything can play out but how it could play out and how things can change, showing how despite nothing being set in stone, it is all still written in his book bound in the skin of a beast that never existed.
Season 2 should explore destiny, destruction and delirium, the other siblings and their realms. Would be interesting to add the others into the show.
It will be too busy “reimagining” and pushing agendas. Sad because it started with such promise
Delirium is my favorite Endless purely for her two page spread in the Sandman Overture comic (forgot the issue). The one where it's two flowers, and each petal is a panel. It looked so amazing
Not my favorite, but definitively on top!... Sometimes one just has to love Delirium (among others and into a certain point), in order to appreciate Dream/Death/Destiny and Life itself!
@Fatima Youssouf Across the series, they have probably the most interaction and though Dream was distant to most of his siblings, he probably becomes her closest connection, after the missing Destruction, as they have a whole arc together. She comes to him for help and when he is breaking down, she stand up on his behalf, despite the fact that her lucidity hurt her.
"Dream? What did he Tell you?"
_"Delirium?"_
"it's still me."
_"But..."_
"If _you're_ going to fall apart, then _one_ of us has to keep this thing going."
" *Please* get Up. I don't know How much Longer I can _be_ like This."
"It _hurts_ very *Muchly* "
_"Your eyes are the same colour!"_
"So? I can do _that._ I can Do that iF I *hvaE* to."
@@AscendtionArc which issue was This?
I've been listening to The Sandman act 1&2 audio books. The story's are Soo good. I love the part in hell when the battle wits between Dream and a Demon takes place
That's Neil Gaimen for you.
Why spoil it for others?
The Song of Orpheus...nuff said.
I enjoyed the story where Satan grew tired of hell and left.
"stories"
Niel Gaiman is one of the best story tellers of all time and he is walking on this earth right now. I love his books. I love Sandman. If I could get to his lecture it would be one of the best days of my life.
He is also married to an awesome woman! She is a muscian and formed a band called Dressden Dolls. what a man. . .
His books are good but he's kinda a hypocrite and sellout. like Stephen king his movie and TV adaptations are usually disasters and not very good, it's really tragic given how good the material is.
@Los Lobos absolute nonsense
@@loslobos786 have you not seen Coraline
@@beesfunplace you mean the cult hit? And I said usually!
Do you understand what cult and usually mean?
I think Cain and Abel said it best, they're "points of view" living concepts, that will only end when existence itself ends as they ARE the forces they represent, then only when those forces cease to exists will they cease to exists.
Delight became Delirious as she literally changed when she gained more knowledge. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is a heavy anchor.
She also found some things in destinys pathways that not even he could see
It is, by far, one of the greatest ever written, realized and produced stories, to have ever graced the Comic-Book/Graphical-Novel medium! A Masterpiece by all rights (including it's own and by any people involved in it)! 2 Words: Master Piece!
Thank you for making this video. TMI story but many years ago when I was in college, I was going through some difficult times. My friends had graduated earlier than me (I was really having a difficult time keeping up even with undergrad classes). I had my heart broken badly and I was extremely depressed (like I wasn’t taking care of myself) which made school that much more difficult.
I had years of school ahead of me and I shut down socially. I didn’t go out as my depression was making me unhinged, crazy even. I didn’t date because I had only wanted my ex back and any of the few people I would meet that may of been interested - I just looked at them as a potential source of pain. As time went on I realized as many people in my situation do that you have to change or end your former self in order to live for a better future.
I had often (and sometimes still do) think of suicide but an odd coping mechanism for me is that I envision the endless playing a part in my life. The hook of Despair keeping me in a horrible rut, Dreams are a source of hope when I am having an unhinged episode in which I’ve become delirious , Desire is usually what initiates my despair, Destruction is the realization that you need to change yourself in order to rebuild yourself (this would be me exercising to lose weight, bodybuilding, reading a self help book) which ultimately would lead to a better destiny
I know that last bit of writing is cringe BUT it worked for me to some degree. As I get older, I forget about my magical thinking and how at one point I lived by the novels. Weird
I hope things have gotten better
Regards my friend, time has strange way of showing things. Hopefully you are feeling better. Farewell, and do be good to yourself.
Then the magic has worked.
Thank you for sharing such a deeply impactful and difficult time for you.
NG would be touched I am sure that his creations gave you some solace and that in the years to come helped keep you grounded.
We humans are funny, creative, sometimes dark beings and your description was not cringe at all. I hope life is treating you well 🙏
How did Delight become Delirium?
Drugs, or rather addiction. What starts off as something pleasant erodes one's sense of reality until you are trapped in insanity.
But insanity can have insights denied to the rational. (As seen in Endless Nights - Going Inside.)
I remember reading and loving Death: The high cost of living. That was my introduction to all of this.
I love how he's just editing despairs physicality out
I must commend Netflix for doing a fantastic job with the Sandman series, i had high hopes for it and prayed they wouldn't f**k it up but got more than I expected. Solid 9/10 for me.
Meeeaaahhh I give it a 5 outta 10 I was pleasantly surprised but it was ridiculously predictable.
@@loslobos786 Oh Mr. Destiny here everybody... Good for you Sherlock!
Saw Neil here in Seattle on May 1. Managed to get autographed copies of the current paperback collections 1 and 2 and an autographed copy The Ocean at the end of the lane. It was an evening well spent.
Death appeared in a DC comics animated short where she met a man who wanted to be an artist.
DC Showcase - Death (2019). I liked her portrayal in this and Death is one of my favorite Characters since she told Dream that he fucked up by not asking for her help when he was imprisoned so many years ago. She and DEATH of course.
@@lenoigel2626 I had read some of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman series before online so I know who Dream, Death, and the other Endless are. I had seen Death, Dream's sister, in DC's showcase where she meets the man who wanted to be an artist 👨🎨, but was struggling so hard to be one! I felt really bad to see all those people put him down like that! Are the demons the people who tried destroy his dream before? If not what does it mean exactly?
Let me guess you just saw it
@@danschumacher5427 Yes.
The thing I like about the endless is that we don't know if they exist, it's possible when we die we could see death greet us.
Destiny is the best big brother, he takes care of his family and he is distant because he knows all, he s literally the Big Brother.
If a movie was based on this in the early 90’s...I could see Johnny Depp cast as Dream with his Edward Scissorhands look being a basis. Fairuza Balk would be Death. Charles Dance as Destruction. Tim Burton as director.
Tory Amos as Delirium.
@@jackalope2302 i was thinking Brittany Murphy but you may be right. Also Tilda Swinton as Desire.
@@SageofSorrow Delirium was said to have been based on Tori
I don't know what Tilda looked like in the nineties but she'd be perfect. Or Jaye (Crying Game) Davidson. Or both - hear me out.
Personally, I'd hire three or four main actors to play aach of the Endless. Like having Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Heath Ledger as early 2000s Dream. Every scene is played by at least two actors. Use CGI to blend their faces and voices uniquely per scene. That way Dream (and his siblings) are slightly amorphous and don't look or sound totally the same from scene to scene. Like in the comic.
No sounds good but Burton would trash it and take the breath out of the topic,while being busy with his own asthetic. I'd much prefer Terry Gilliam though he would also have to his issues. Honestly I would love James Cameron or the guy who directed the Conan movies,though Fincher,Ridley scott wouldn't be horrible
either. Honestly now that I think about Jim Henson studios would be a definate go to.
'-Neil Gaimen has tried to gatekeep the actual and precise origins-' Maybe it's not meant to be known? Maybe that adds to the elements in the story? Maybe giving them a concrete starting point would take away from them as characters? 'Gatekeep' - just wow XD
10:10 Even though it is mere speculation, some readers have theorised that Destruction's Domain is Fenrir, the wolf at Ragnarok, in Lucifer's own series - specifically Lucifer : The Wolf Beneath The Tree.
Oooh I like that. I may need to reread Lucifer
Destruction's realm did appear in the new shitty Sandman series (haven't read). It's named 'the Fulcrum'.
Brilliant comes series. Still got most the original . Still learned how they came about. Good show. 👍😊
"Cosmic Horror" actually predates Lovecraft and goes all the way back to Arthur Machen's stories 'The Great God Pan' and 'The Red Seal' and 'The White People' among his other stories,
not to mention R.W. Chambers's story 'The King in Yellow' as well as some of the works of Ambrose Bierce and Lord Dunsany among others,
All of whom were an influence on Lovecraft.
Don't forget Edgar Allen and Mark Twains Lucifer
Edit Here's Mark Twain interpretation of lucifer a further edit will post his view on heaven: ruclips.net/video/Ntf5_ue2Lzw/видео.html
Edit 2 Welcome to Heaven: ruclips.net/video/q6et3dw4loA/видео.html
“Cosmic horror” has been around for thousands of years
I doubt Gaiman described his Endless as lovecraftian in any discussion. Gothic-maybe, but never Lovecraftian
I really want to see the series and hope it's eventually released on DVD and Bluray
I friggin LOVED SANDMAN on Netflix. I bawled my eyes out in episode 8 though. Solid season 1, can't wait for more. One of the best DC live action offerings to date.
SAME! I mean I cried more than a few times through it all but I'm a bit of a hormonal mess right now.
It was a very good series with solid performance
@FactoManiac Neil Gaiman is a producer so hopefully it's mostly going to be source material.
@@Neoprototype is the lead a strong white male character?
@@Neoprototype ok
Destiny is the first Endless seen in the DC Universe/Multiverse. He first appeared in one of the horror anthologie books.
Death also first appeared in a DC horror anthologie book, but since that Death was a skeleton wearing various clothing of soldiers, it was probably an aspect of Death and not the real thing.
This video has some great explanations about the Endless in a way that you know the Netflix show will never even reach into the Fantasitical ideas that come from the books.
Sandman was awesome on Netflix I thought it was really well done and I was originally pretty cautious about seeing how it would go
Please do more of this!
Earthworm Jim had the best description of them as the Personification of Abstract Concepts Club.
Great video but got one thing off. Deaths realm has a name its called "the sunless lands" she says it during the chapter "sound of her wings"
Shit Niel is epic!!!!!!!! I fuk with not just all of it and including the visuals from the team work with the artists but also including the fresh take on desire
Delirium was my favorite. I felt she was the most human
What do these entities have to do with Lovecraft?
1:38
Gate keeping is a good thing.
i dont have time for this i need to go to bed 😢
Ready for season 2!!!!!!
There's a few things about the Endless I'm still quite curious about, and have never been properly explained. For instance: according to Morpheus...Despair actually used to be someone else. then someone killed/tried to kill the FIRST despair, for what even Morpheus admitted were the best of intentions....but he picked a fight with the WRONG family and lost, and the perpetrator's suffering isn't EVER going to end. now THERE"S a story that has never been told in full. Also...the personalitie sof the endless ARE subject to change. Delerium was once delight...what specific catalyst changed her? Death used to actually have quite the stick up her ass..what caused her to remove it and seek to become more empathetic? And let's not forget Destruction.
Idk if I'd want to know these stories though because sometimes the mystery is better. I will say though that the current Sandman Universe comic about the Corinthian written by James Tynion has been good, it's only been 2 issues but I like it quite alot so far.
@@joeclarke7982 Original Corinthian or after Morpheus killed and remade him?
@@alexsolomon7991 the remade version. They're working his past life into the story and so far I dig it
I'm sure deliriums change was something to do with destruction
The story of Death's change is in a short comic from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #2.
One of my favorite channels that I feel like literally just popped up
Love y'all keep going
I never read the books but it seems to me that Delirium could be my fav character. The second one could be Death. Can't wait to watch the ecranization 🙏🤭
Sturridge/Dream and Matthew remind me of Vampire Hunter D and has hand being. Wonder which came first. Loving the show, I am hope.
Always wondered if Piers Anthony's Incarnations series was an inspiration for them.
Is it me or do a lot of the Mavelous videos hosts sound like they zero idea what they are talking about until the script is thrown at em?
Amazing
Thank you for this info! I just finished Sandman 1 and 2 on Audible! I want to know more and more about the endless.
Anything breakdown 💪🏾
my god! I love those titles
The Endless are NOT gods. They're something so much more terrifying. Also, they're not "Lovecraftian". I don't think you know what that word means.
they kind of are, we think there human becouse we see them from human but other life would see them that why.
@@az21bob666 I never said, or even hinted, that they were human. They're not. Different beings see them as different forms. They are the embodiments of concepts. Dream is the one that actually makes most gods.
lovecraftian might just be click bait I think
actors on point!
The concept that gods need to be believed in to be real is SO absurd. No god would need pathetic mortals to validate their existence, we would need them.
I like it a lot. It is core in Gaiman’s American Gods. I grew up Catholic and went to bible school. So much of the ‘Old Testament’ concerns the proper rituals for the worship of God and how to make offerings. Even the first two commandments concern how humans should treat/revere God. It creates the strange contradiction that such a supposedly infinite being would care about the minutiae of such matters… The idea that they are somehow reliant on belief gives interesting explanation for instances like this, and why such infinite beings would bother personally acting or interceding in the lives of mortals at all. :)
Okay well you're talking about made up shit so....no? Because it's fucking made up. There aren't real rules to this bud.
@@adamplentl5588 common sense transcends fiction and irrational claims shouldn’t be blindly accepted if no thought went into trying to render at least a little sense out of it.
There will always be suspension of belief but you can only expect it to go so far.
@@Yehoshua66 yeah it's just that the dumb thing you said predicated on literally nothing is in no way supportable.
The logic of Sandman is perfectly internally consistent.
Thanks for this.
Though I'm not certain those rules can actually be called as such, seeing as all are contradicted in the stories.
Maybe more the obligations of responsibility.
@15:52
I dreamed I saw a basilisk
That basked upon a rocky shore
I looked upon the basilisk…
With eyes of stone
I looked no more.
So who's gonna play Destiny, Destruction and Delirium in Netflix's Sandman
I dont think they're in the first season
Maybe they will appear in second season if destiny appears in Netflix's Sandman I want him to be played by Lance Henriksen , well
Is there any significance to all of their names starting with D?
they really remind me of the 7 deadly sins. i love them all a lot and it’s awesome to see a non-binary character in dc!
Couple points I'd like to make - the focused on "living," for example - all "being" are "equal" to the Endless, with the life of a planet being of no lesser consequence to Death or Despair than that of a newborn or a mad man, and the Desire of a star standing equal to that of a being that lives in orbit of it.
We do know that Death will survive Destiny, and be the last of the Endless - The end of everything is encompassed by Death taking her brother's hand. Whether she can, or will, take her own hand afterword, is a marked question, though it does seem likely, once she's put everything else to its final order - once there are no more ends to encompass, Death itself will become meaningless.
I wished you'd focused a little more on what it means to "leave their realm" and the implicit chaos this creates, especially as it applied in the story. Given how ungoverned and literal seeking Destruction was...and also what it cost to imprison Dream, and what it might of cost to imprison Death.
Yeah, you're either misunderstanding The Endless or misunderstanding Lovecraft, maybe both.
The Endless are more Pratchett onspired than anything.
Research fail. Death's realm very much does have a name. She called it "The Sunless Lands" in "the Sound Of Her Wings", the comic version.
Wait…allan heinberg? The creator of the Young Avengers? I’m watching it YESTERDAY!!
Hell yea sandman was my favorite as a teen.
Death's realm is the Sunless Lands.
It's desire and fulfilment
Cool
Lovecraftian = existential, unexplainable horror. Something so big and intentions so unfathomable, humanity looks like nothing but bugs or simply meat.
The endless are literally the embodiments of emotions that plague humanity, that we all know so well.
Clearly you need to get your definitions right
More like, clearly you need to check your sources and your definitions.
The Endless are meta-conceptual forces that functions as conditions for existence that are as old before time was meassurable and encompass every aspect of reality from every form of beings, other concepts, gods or dimensions. They were around dozens of billions years before humanity was even an idea and your attempt to limit them to human emotions only is quite bizarre, none human can comprehend an Endless, they just experience a side effect of their existence in the way they can.
And to the lovecraftian lore, that most lf it's new content is today relased by DC imprunt since years ago, has the lovecraftian outer gods under Dream's domain, which basically he has an aspect that encompass all the dream and wake of Azazoth and all the minds of unconscious horrors. The Endless being objective are more "lovecraftian" that most of actual lovecraftian beings and all their alien misticism, a more accurate term would be call them eldritch beings.
What I find amusing is that the video begins with Marvel logo and the Sandman is from DC😅😅
A squid with fangs and an unknowable dark heart is Lovecraftian- The Endless have a sheen of lovecraft at times. Delirium reminds me of the females in my fam who deal with bipolar disorder or should i rephrase that to bipolar disorder which then everyone near is drawn into dealing with lol love the nuance thats possible when every little thing isnt spelled out for scientists on the short bus every doctor with no degree
I’m guessing I’m only here because google shares all of my information and I’ve watched The Sandman Season 1 (Netflix might cancel it because they suck) twice. That being said We have the name of Death’s Realm now.
"hundreds of thousands of years old." ,🤔? Death is older than the universe and the current DC multiverse. Her age is in the billions or trillions, if not older.
I just read Season of Mist- SandMan--My goodness Lucifer Morningstar is one power entity.
Hah, the video popped up in recommendations after i finished watching the season 1 of the show, albeit i did google a thing or two. The show is quite great, but it does give me a weird mixture of feelings, particularly how everything functions in that universe and the roles of the Endless. Like, Death called death a gift...which doesn't make much sense given that gifts can be refused...death cannot be, its forced and having people die at different ages...leaving others to suffer as a result - let's just say despite Death's ''happy and cheery'' personification, i found her rather disturbing, particularly in relation to the one guy, aka Dream's friend, she allowed to live forever and seeing how people would live forever given the chance....further going against the whole death being a gift concept, when there is so much to live for.
It's a very sad reality. They claim to serve humanity yet that feels quite contradicting given their unwanted roles, unwanted by mortals, that is, except for couple, perhaps, like desire. No mortal wants death, despair, destruction...or to be governed by any higher forces. The idea itself has always bothered the hell out of me, in every universe/franchise.
Well dream does have a form called dream of the eldritch abomination so that could count as lovecraftian
They are the living embodiments of the human contidion.
it's the exact opposite of Lovecraftian.
Dream = Robert Smith from the Cure
Death = Debbie Harry from Blondie
Delirium = Courtney Love
Desire = Eddie Izzard
Destiny = the hermit on Led Zeppelin’s album cover
Despair = ???
Destruction = … Gaston?
I want these characters in a DC movie, maybe reboot Constantine at the same time. Those are the kinds of “comic book” movies I really like. Damn all these silly dressed “hero’s” and Nationalistic morality.
They better stay in a series where they can be portrayed properly and not made cash cows like the rest of dc's superheroes had been made
@@9PUPPE yeah, basically VERTIGO, bring in Swamp thing too, not the “mad scientist” version, but the mythical magical version. With Black Adam coming out, it seems to be introducing a magic element to DC, so they could totally launch a Vertigo ish themed movie series.
@@9PUPPE I did watch that last JOKER movie DC did it was great, I think if they stick to that cinematic style a VERTIGO based movie line would work. Make it more like a psychological type movie, the Endless, Constantine, Swamp, Sandman even Etrigan (that yellow demon). I think it would be awesome. Brink back those CROW and BLADE vibes from the 90s…
Death's kingdom does have a name. Sorry if I'm mistaken as I'm not an English native but it would be called the kingdom/land of shadows or the sunless lands. Great video otherwise!
No movie would ever suffice!!!!!
I so hope we get Lucifer in the sandman series.
The same trope as the Chaos gods from Warhammer.
Also they are nowhere near the embodiment of feelings they embody experiences and concepts of existence. Destiny (concept), death (experience), dream (experience), delirium (experience), destruction (concept) i don’t remember them all but u get my point?
When did Death get so stacked?
What author did a comprehensive research comparating Lovecraft to religions?
It's because everyone want to be a fan of the most powerful, if you keep adding a newer more powerful thing it only destroys previous stories. there will be a new one round the bend who is more powerful then the rest.
Its getting like you cant throw a stone without hitting an unfeasible powerful creation.
Gods live and die. The Endless just are.
7:40 “digillent”
Wheres episode 11!?
Lovecraftian wise. Delirium seems to be the only one to fit.
please learn what is lovecraftian, stop using it as a clickbait phrase.
So endless is seven deadly sins? It’s like the same story but I just heard about endless and read up on them and it’s technically the same people just different names
Destruction did not abandon his duties. Rather he is doing his job by abandoning his position.
“Has tried to gatekeep”
Oh ffs
The character of Death is iconic, particularly among Goths who would love to see her in live action. So, let's cast an actress who looks nothing like her.
chill
1.Neil Gaiman didn't know what a Goth was when he created Death, so its no skin off his teeth.
2. There are black Goths.
3. I am Goth and I dont give a damn.
4. Death is still white in the books, that won't change. Now both Black and White Goths can cosplay Death.
As long as the actress does a good portrayal of the character (which is exactly why she was cast) it really doesnt matter.
@@exquisitecorpse__ you hit the nail on the head
@@darkangel7589 thank you
Wtf is lovecraftian about these characters?
Somebody has a word of the day calander.
Informative!
I think I'm going to read up on Sandman and the others.
Still don't like the choice of actress for Death. If you're gonna pull that PC BS then why not reflect each individuals viewpoint of death!? Multiple actresses for all of her duties. Asians, Europeans, Blacks, etc. I feel that would fit Gaiman work better.
Everynody sould read The Sandman comics. It's epic, and is not like anything in modern literature.
Destruction is hawwwt
11:17 desire?
But can dream figure out destiny maze???
