@@pookiesis1465 yes that's exactly it you're right. I had such a crush on Tim Curry in that film. But yeah they definitely tried to embody both the masculine and The feminine.
Death is my favorite of the Endless, but watching Desires portrayal in the Netflix series made me even more fascinated of the character. I love the voice and the androgynous look, plus the obsession with getting under Dreams skin. I never really noticed Desire until now. I want to see Destiny, Destruction and especially little Delirium
There's no explanation in the original comics for Desire's rivalry and hate for Dream. However at one time Desire really loved Dream. When Dream's kingdom was being invaded by monsters early in his reign, Desire was the only sibling who responded to his cry for help by creating Alianora to fight by Dream's side and successfully defended his domain against the invaders. However, their sibling relationship began to sour after that. Some thinking it was Dream's mistreatment of Alianora afterwards that caused it.
Not in the original comics, no, but the "Endless Nights" graphic novel shows how Desire meddled in one of earliest relationships--when Delirium was still Delight!--which also incidentally led to the formation of the Green Lantern Corps.
I love how in the comics Lucifer went off about people blaming him for their mistakes, wrong doings and such. and now in my head I'm thinking "Lucifer actually gets blamed for all of Desire's shenanigans, so why aren't Lucifer and Desire Enemies"
This was perfect casting on all points. Desire does have a magnetic pull and im undecided if it's their voice looks or mannerisms. Either way great video and whole cast. Loved the back stories as I admit to not reading all the comics 💗
That music that accompanies Desire is Intimidating!! I love that it gives him/her a presence not to be played with, like you're dealing with the Devil himself.
Now speaking strictly, and I must stress the strictly, I found it very useful and productive as well as profound to embody "desire " as in this , androgynous yet very masculine personification.
i think having desire manifested as an androgynous being makes so much sense because they have the ability to seduce either gender, and encapsulate each gender and sexualities desires in some way. it really makes them feel like the literal embodiment of desire.
I really wish that people wouldn't denigrate a show or movie because of their racism and homophobia. What happened to the world where a piece of literature has to be continuously have every character be white and straight and cisgender. There are other perspectives in the world. These incel basement dwellers can spew their hate onto a show but never experience true fidelity to rest of the world.
@@leonlacroix2638 well Desire was meant to represent all sides of human desires... in the comics they were transgender...and could shapeshift into anyone. And Dream himself appeared as both a black man and white man....or maybe as anthropomorphic representations of different aspects of reality they can appear as you perceive them.
@@darnellt.poston8970 I get that but the casting was terrible. What they should have done is do 2 diffrent actors for her transformations. Make her appear as a attractive women to some people and a attractive man to others. Not some lady boy in lipstick. That unattractive for both sides. Maybe I just can't stand the actor, I hated him in cowboy bebop so that's prolly playing a factor in my hatred for the character
Why does everyone have to find something to hate? Yeah, it wasn't 100% faithful to the source material but I think they did a great job so far and yes they changed the characters but the story is pretty much same so I'm happy.
1:30 Factually not correct. In the series, Desire is described as he/him, she/her, or it, interchangeably (the very first page of Issue #10, The Doll's House, can confirm that): most of his siblings refer to him as "sister-brother", at some point. Although the idea is functionally the same (Desire transcends gender), the real-world terminology was way less widespread in the 90s. Luckily, we live in a current world where a non-binary person (Mason Alexander Park) can embody a version of Desire using they/them, but that's a (welcome and positive) change from the original.
Could you maybe cover the Comic Series „Once and Future“ ? It’s amazing. It’s like Hellboy and Grimm mixed with the Legend of King Arthur . Bloody, dark, sometimes funny but most of the time badass brutal. For example a huge Barbarian riding on a gigantic fire breathing Lion chasing a Car while rhe protagonists (A guy and his grumpy but badass Grandma) are trying to fight him with MG. And King Arthur as the undead main Antagonist is just bonechilling
Desire was based on illustrations by late American artist Patrick Nagel, which were featured across several 80s ads and media such as the cover of Duran Duran's Rio album.
this is show is the best we going to get form an adaption. when you considering the comic subject and art style. im so glad it a Netflix TV series and not a Netflix movie
Desire didn't r*pe Unity. They seduce her and became her lover. Even in Netflix's series Unity speak of the man with the golden eyes in good way. It was bad don't get me wrong just that Desire can push human but can not force them to do something. Also I can understand a little the need the feel honored as one of the endless and not be treated as less of important. But great job on the video. :) Mason did an amazing job and I am hoping for more screen time. We will have to see in next season. :)
Desire is how you best portray a non-gender specific character in fiction. Everything about this character is perfect and feels, looks and behaves naturally to their nature, and does not feel forced when seeing them in action. That's been a big problem in media as of late, that being that any characters in fiction that are non-binary, gay or anything all seem to be just there for the sake of satisfying peoples feelings or pushing an agenda. With Desire there was no need for this since the character is as they are in the source material which is why the portrayal was perfect, which is why it felt organic. Kudos to the casting and keeping true to tge comics and lore. 👍
You said unity was “raped” by Desire but that doesn’t make any sense in the Netflix series because unity spoke of being grateful for the way things happened because she “wouldn’t have met my golden eyed love” or however she said it. That doesn’t sound like someone who was taken advantage of. I got the impression that unity was in a waking entanglement with desire in male form and became pregnant with Rose’s mother.
She was raped in the comic, but it's only referred to in a narration box during the first chapter, and you're left to extrapolate what happened once Desire shows up in the next arc and is revealed as Rose's ancestor, so they tweaked things a little for the adaptation.
'They', both Desire and Mason Alexander Park are non-binery. Let's use the correct pronouns, which are 'they/ them'. Yes, those can be used in the singular, no it's not new and in fact the singular forms predate 'you' in the singular.
@teresa ravenshaw Yes, they is used in the 'singular' form, BUT that's when you're not familiar with someone. So if , for example you said "I'm going to see my friend today" the other person would answer "where do they live/how long have you known them for?" Because you don't know them/ familiar with them. If you knew they are a man you'd say he, or a woman... She. So a single person who you are aware of/familiar with us not a 'they' You only have 2 sexes, so only she or he. No 'they'
I really don’t understand the utility of this kind of videos, why literally spoil people. If they didn’t say it in the series, that’s maybe for a reason. Maybe it will be important in a potential second season. Why do you want to explain everything since the beginning?
I would have loved if the guy from Lucifer had blonde hair and did both shows also House of the Dragon's Aemond Targaryen would have made an excellent Lucifer Morningstar but Brienne of Tarth would be a good choice for this character she is beautiful and masculine at the same time.
and making Death Black as standard....I mean what? the original is pale for a reason. She is DEATH. the absence of life. much as she might cherish it. I have no doubt Death could take any form she liked...for a time, or for some special interaction. but her standard is pale. if you have to change someone's color, at least do it to someone who's not colored the way they are for a REASON. Netflix, man...cowboy bebop, anyone? *scoffs* I don't see why they bother. they're no good at it.
Neil Gaiman (the creator of Death) was the one who choose Kirby Howell-Baptiste not NETFLEX, and he choose her, for her acting skills. Personally I don't think you could portray a pure white skinned character like Death on screen like the comic. Comic to Screen adaptation doesn't always work. If you want Death pure white, then Dream (to most people), Desire, Despair, and Delirium (who we haven't seen yet) all have to have pure white skin. This was Gaiman's choice not yours or NETFLEX.
I'm not for wokeism, or normalized things like this- but the character of desire or a personified " desire" would most definitely be nonbinary. Something different. wild and complex to being human
@@Jumpoable ya I know, I read them.as they came out, dude. The entirely of the show is wokeism- which was not written then- and I'm willing to bet Netflix just ran this series, so bozos like you can chime in with " it it was already"
@@gkilsetup442 LOL so you read the series when they came out & yet you think the entirety of the show was just "wokeism"...? LAAAAWL. Yeah I'm a "bozo" cuz I'm "chiming in." Hope you LOATHED all the characters who suddenly became black as well, hater.
@@Jumpoable Actually in the comic Desire was described as "he/she", "him/her", or just simply Desire, Sibling, or "it". For Orpheus (Dream's son) it was Aunt-Uncle.
No I agree this casting was cringy. As a gay male I stopped when I realized this actor was in it. Completely HATED his role in cowboy beebop. To the point I skipped every scene he was in.
@@thomas1810 as if your argument was any more compelling? I'm simply stating this is crap even to gay people. Well at least for me. I can't speak for the others
They has been a singular pronoun since before Shakespeare, and being nonbinary isn't a mental illness according to any reputable medical or psychiatric organization.
@@coreyc756 thinking you are more than one person is a medical issue. but i get it, people are confused because of the orwellian doublespeak. War is peace, freedom is slavery and all that.
@@mattapple9188 Again, they isn't always plural, it can also be singular and has been for a LONG time. As has not being in the gender binary, many cultures have had more than two, some indigenous ones still do as well.
Well in this case Desire exists as man and a woman, but also neither, and also both, and also everything in between, even as alien species that are genderless or with third or fourth genders, and also simply just the feeling of wanting something. Desire isn't a person but a cosmic entity. So in this case, "they" and "them" actually does fit. That said, Desire uses any and all pronouns, including he, she, it.
Wtf are you talking about? List all the "woke bs" that you think made it "barely resemble the source material". This is one of the most faithful adaptations of a comic thats ever been produced.
I guess you've never seen Frank Miller's "Sin City." It is LITERALLY a page-by-page translation of the original comic as opposed to a very loose adaptation of a popular comic series that plays gender-flip (Desire is androgynous, not non-polar) and racial flip (Unity and Rose were white, not black and Rose has multi-colored hair) games that don't interest me so "Bye Bye Netflix Sandman!"
@@RamostheNomad I'm ok with a little race or gender swapping. They on really kept dream as he was in the comics. Every one else they changed. They also dumb him down so the strong black woman can show him the ways it should be. So let's there's forced diversity, white man hate, and just man hate in general. The sandman has to be the most woke filled crap I have seen this yr so far.
@@tammy6610 the scene where Death berates him is taken directly from the comics pages. The word bubbles from the comics is quite literally 98% of the script in that scene. Your issue sounds like it stems from Death being black in this instance. If you're speaking of Lucienne, its the same thing. In the comics, Lucian handles the dreaming and tries to hold everything together while Dream is gone. When he returns, they clash, Dream realizes his mistake(cause character growth), and he apologizes. It is literally Diversity thats bothering you.
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
They are a fantastic choice. What we see on screen is just one form of Desire. In a previous episode where Dream goes to Hell, he comes across Nada a former partner of his. What Nada sees (we see him briefly through her eyes), is Dream as a black man because that's how he looks to her. We can only see one view of each of the Endless, though if we existed within that world, we'd all see somewhat different versions of them.
In case you were actually interested as opposed to just looking for a reason to complain about people who care about being adressed respectfully: Personal pronoun is a grammatical term, used in linguistics all over the world, not only in the English language. It describes a certain kind of pronoun ("stand-in-word"): Linguistically he, she, it and they are personal pronouns; his, her, its and their are possessive pronouns. Others are interrogative pronouns (whose...), demonstrative (that, these), relative...
You can create your own words in the English language. People do it all the time and words are added to the dictionary all the time……..All words and languages are literally made up..
Dude, I swear to God the set rules for this series is bleh... "I am more powerful or can compete with a dream God, and I can choose to be whatever to suit the plots need". Screw the series.
dude the comic deal with power scale of god level, remember all of this player can change reality as they wish, just look at destiny , Lucifer(future) , Micheal(past), the present (THE god). these player dont really fight each other they just play around with the rule they themself set up and most of the story is alot about the side character ( aka human and mortal)
That's just the first two arcs, the author of the comic realized that having such a powerful being in standard peril was boring so he went in a more philosophical direction about the nature of change, duty, free will, and dysfunctional families.
And the Endless are not gods. This was said MULTIPLE times in the comics. You really should read the source material before judging the tv show. It would make more sense to you.
There's something about Desiree's voice. Unique and seductive. Who else observed it?
It kinda reminds me of Rocky horror picture show
@@pookiesis1465 Mason Alexander Park played Dr Frank N Furter in a stage play. I guess they used this experience to build the mannerism of Desire

The reason why Dream is terrible in his relationship as it feeds “Desire”, where Dream does not want to be controlled by.

@@gkilsetup442 LOL so you read the series when they came out & yet you think the entirety of the show was just "wokeism"...? LAAAAWL. Yeah I'm a "bozo" cuz I'm "chiming in." Hope you LOATHED all the characters who suddenly became black as well, hater.
@@Jumpoable Actually in the comic Desire was described as "he/she", "him/her", or just simply Desire, Sibling, or "it". For Orpheus (Dream's son) it was Aunt-Uncle.
I thoght you were about to be a robot i almost thumbs down so fast 😂🤣 you guys need to stop being so goddamn professional its terrible
You'll should've put "spoilers" in the title
Desire gender is confusing (him/her)
They are non-binary.
As the narrator stated, Desire is non-binary and uses 'them/ them' pronouns.
Its Desire its nether and both sometimes one sometimes the other. Its whatever you want them to be.
It's embodiment of transgenderism bcoz they desire gender they're not
desire is never actually portrayed with any genitalia at all, so make of that what you will and move on.
And this is why I stopped watching. The casting for desire is too weird for me.
the actor\actress selected for the role of death and passion is a mistake. It's not about skin color or gender. Netflix just once again miscasts.
You're insane. They were perfectly casted!
Who tf is Passion? The casting was phenomenal
No I agree this casting was cringy. As a gay male I stopped when I realized this actor was in it. Completely HATED his role in cowboy beebop. To the point I skipped every scene he was in.
@@leonlacroix2638 not “as a gay male” 😭
@@thomas1810 as if your argument was any more compelling? I'm simply stating this is crap even to gay people. Well at least for me. I can't speak for the others
If you claim you are they or them, that isn't a pronoun. Either you are royalty, or suffering from multiple personality disorder.
They has been a singular pronoun since before Shakespeare, and being nonbinary isn't a mental illness according to any reputable medical or psychiatric organization.
@@coreyc756 thinking you are more than one person is a medical issue. but i get it, people are confused because of the orwellian doublespeak. War is peace, freedom is slavery and all that.
@@mattapple9188 Again, they isn't always plural, it can also be singular and has been for a LONG time. As has not being in the gender binary, many cultures have had more than two, some indigenous ones still do as well.
@@coreyc756 and they are people with mental disorders who think we should also live in their make believe world.
Well in this case Desire exists as man and a woman, but also neither, and also both, and also everything in between, even as alien species that are genderless or with third or fourth genders, and also simply just the feeling of wanting something. Desire isn't a person but a cosmic entity. So in this case, "they" and "them" actually does fit. That said, Desire uses any and all pronouns, including he, she, it.
The show barely resembled the source material. Way to much woke b.s. The should have called the sandwoman and have Lucinda just take over.
Wtf are you talking about? List all the "woke bs" that you think made it "barely resemble the source material".
This is one of the most faithful adaptations of a comic thats ever been produced.
I guess you've never seen Frank Miller's "Sin City." It is LITERALLY a page-by-page translation of the original comic as opposed to a very loose adaptation of a popular comic series that plays gender-flip (Desire is androgynous, not non-polar) and racial flip (Unity and Rose were white, not black and Rose has multi-colored hair) games that don't interest me so "Bye Bye Netflix Sandman!"
@@RamostheNomad I'm ok with a little race or gender swapping. They on really kept dream as he was in the comics. Every one else they changed. They also dumb him down so the strong black woman can show him the ways it should be. So let's there's forced diversity, white man hate, and just man hate in general. The sandman has to be the most woke filled crap I have seen this yr so far.
@@DavidTSmith-jn5bs I've seen it and I liked.
@@tammy6610 the scene where Death berates him is taken directly from the comics pages. The word bubbles from the comics is quite literally 98% of the script in that scene. Your issue sounds like it stems from Death being black in this instance.
If you're speaking of Lucienne, its the same thing. In the comics, Lucian handles the dreaming and tries to hold everything together while Dream is gone. When he returns, they clash, Dream realizes his mistake(cause character growth), and he apologizes.
It is literally Diversity thats bothering you.
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
Great English there, buddy.
Agreed
Ezra Miller would've been a great Desire..
But he is flash and they both DC universe
NOPE. Cancelled.
Damn idk about yall but i dont desire the chosen actor at all. Terrible choice
They are a fantastic choice. What we see on screen is just one form of Desire. In a previous episode where Dream goes to Hell, he comes across Nada a former partner of his. What Nada sees (we see him briefly through her eyes), is Dream as a black man because that's how he looks to her. We can only see one view of each of the Endless, though if we existed within that world, we'd all see somewhat different versions of them.
Agreed this casting was cringy
There’s no such thing as personal pronouns, you cannot own words in the English language.
In case you were actually interested as opposed to just looking for a reason to complain about people who care about being adressed respectfully: Personal pronoun is a grammatical term, used in linguistics all over the world, not only in the English language. It describes a certain kind of pronoun ("stand-in-word"): Linguistically he, she, it and they are personal pronouns; his, her, its and their are possessive pronouns. Others are interrogative pronouns (whose...), demonstrative (that, these), relative...
You can create your own words in the English language. People do it all the time and words are added to the dictionary all the time……..All words and languages are literally made up..
He is a dude in makeup.
Dude, I swear to God the set rules for this series is bleh... "I am more powerful or can compete with a dream God, and I can choose to be whatever to suit the plots need". Screw the series.
dude the comic deal with power scale of god level, remember all of this player can change reality as they wish, just look at destiny , Lucifer(future) , Micheal(past), the present (THE god). these player dont really fight each other they just play around with the rule they themself set up and most of the story is alot about the side character ( aka human and mortal)
That's just the first two arcs, the author of the comic realized that having such a powerful being in standard peril was boring so he went in a more philosophical direction about the nature of change, duty, free will, and dysfunctional families.
Someone never read the comics
And the Endless are not gods. This was said MULTIPLE times in the comics. You really should read the source material before judging the tv show. It would make more sense to you.
@@river_acheron Make that make sense. I shouldn't have to go the original works with this being an adaptation to understand it. It's an adaptation.
