Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka the Man of the your dreams...fff...---
Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka the guy who's videos send you to sleep and this episode we're gonna be breaking down Sandman on Netflix.
This is an absolutely outstanding adaptation of one of the greatest comic books ever written and it proves that sticking to the source material actually works.
Whereas showrunners have recently used shows like Halo and Resident Evil to tell their own stories by stealth, Sandman embraces it's beloved franchise and shows that Neil Gaiman knows best.
A film has been in the works since 1991 and has gone through the ringer with everyone from James Mangold, Eric Kripke and even Joseph Gordon Levitt attached in some way.
The development hell is over though and the plot and ending have a lot to unpack from it. This series adapts the first two arcs, Preludes & Nocturnes as well as The Doll’s House and going off what happens after that we can pretty much predict exactly the way that the show is gonna go. I wanna break it all down but up top I thought I'd talk about comic property and some of the easter eggs. If you wanna skip ahead to see us tackling certain sections in the video then timecodes will be linked below but I also hope that you hit the thumbs up button if you enjoy the video.
Thanks.
Now incase you didn’t know, The Sandman is part of the supernatural wing of DC along with Hellblazer and The Sandman spin off Lucifer. The original work is filled with nods to Batman, Green Arrow, Etrigan, Mister Miracle, The Justice League and it's awash with DC characters that are sadly removed from this entry.
This is obviosuly due to casting and rights issues and who knows, Discovery could've cancelled the whole series for a laugh if it had been on HBO Max. Lucifer and Constantine...sorry Constantine appear in the show too with their genders swapped so they dont clash too much with the other live action versions out there. Lucifer was originally based on David Bowie but Gwendoline Christie brings her own style too and judging by the ending we'll no doubt be seeing her again very soon.

I really liked John's story. He was just a kid who was truly scared because of the ruby. His dreams and nightmares became true and thus his emotional development was stunted. He had difficulty distinguishing reality from the dream leading him to be impulsive. But the interaction between him and the lady driver enabled him to trust more (albeit in small increments). When Morpheus realised that he had become a killer was due to external factors, he granted him eternal sleep. Long story short, there is still redemption. Sorry if it is too long.
@lalakuma9 Рік тому
If I remember correctly, in the comic book he still killed the lady he hitchhiked with, but in the show he has a better moral compass. So I think it makes sense that Dream's punishment for him is also less cruel than in the comic book.

Not always. Focusing solely on the source material can also alienate new audiences. It's best for the audience in general to see something new together. Watchmen did I great job at this. They stuck to the source material about 70ish % but they also introduced new plotlines that kept things exciting. Plus, source materials aren't always perfect.

The point of Desire's plans is something I could see being fleshed out as the end of the second season, it's made pretty clear that Desire intends to do serious harm to Dream, and as his/her plans lead to the end of Dream's story in the comics, I'd expect the series to head for the same conclusion

@@AlphaTrion810 The actor is not male, the character is played by Mason Alexander Park who is non-binary. In the comics, Desire is seen as more of a genderfluid character, being seen by humans as whoever they would most desire; therefore, in connection with Unity who they impregnated to get back at Dream, Desire is seen as male by Unity when Desire was in Unity's dreams. In any case, I doubt a god/Endless needs to worry about their genitals in order to get someone pregnant.

Such an amazing adaptation of the source material. Finally they made a show where the episodes were breakdowns of the chapters/books from the source. Made for an excellent viewing experience and aside from some changes here and there was almost perfect. IMHO the episode where Dream got his helm back could of followed the source more closely and was sad we didn't get to see more of Hell's lieutenants, which would of setup Lucifer closing up shop better down the road. WTG Netflix in allowing Neil Gaiman to maintain creative rights and bringing the books we love so much to Live Action.

@jeankap Рік тому
Episode 6 was a masterpiece of storytelling. It shows a strong guiding hand from Neil Gaiman in the project, focusing on consistent storytelling and character development over the long term (even at the risk of puzzling and turning away those who haven't read the source material), as opposed to squeezing as much action and drama into the first season as possible. Bummer that they went the dramatic route and off the source material with the hell arc, but hopefully there's a way back to alignment with the source.
@davidseb9045 Рік тому
I had never heard of or read the comics before I started the show, so I basically went in blind but I still absolutely loved it. And I agree that the freedom to have episodes pretty much contain their own complete stories really helped the show and allowed for absolute gems such as episode 5 and 6 which were my favourites. Overall I found it very enjoyable and hope there are more seasons to come.

@rentristandelacruz Рік тому
I initially thought the ending of the Lucifer vs Dream battle is a bit cheesy, hope defeating anti-life and Lucifer not being able to think of something that can kill hope. After rewatching that scene, I think Lucifer was not able to think anything the can kill hope because Lucifer themselves rely on hope. Lucifer has been described as having an indomitable will. Lucifer really needs that indomitable will and hope. They need their indomitable will to wage war against Heaven and the ability to hope that they can win. If Lucifer countered Dream with something that can kill hope, they're essentially saying that their own ability to hope can be killed. Maybe by not responding, Lucifer is saying that their own ability to hope can't be killed.

@@ICU1337 You only need a tiny bit of hope to help you get by if you're in despair. Give a person in despair a tiny bit of hope and it will help them a lot. People who succumb to despair are those who have no hope at all. If the Anti-Life Lucifer is talking about is anything related to the Anti-life equation, then despair is already part of the Anti-life (i.e. Aspects of the Anti-life are loneliness, alienation, fear, despair, etc). A lot of the aspects of Anti-life can be countered with hope.
@ICU1337 Рік тому
@@rentristandelacruz "loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding ⋅ guilt ⋅ shame ⋅ failure ⋅ judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side The full formula typically manifests itself physically as a series of fiery, inscrutable alien symbols and glyphs which form around the one who uses it, while incomplete fragments are projected as singular glyphs.[2][11] By speaking the Equation, Darkseid can insert the full formula into people's minds, giving them the mathematical certainty that life, hope, and freedom are all pointless." According to DC, hope is also apart of the Anti-Life equation and its rendered moot. It does get a bit wishy-washy with this point though. Its like on one hand AL > Hope but then its like "maybe hope can work 🤷♂" So again, him countering A-L with hope doesnt add up. But we're just nitpicking, at the end of the day, plot armor is going to make this pointless, its just that technically Dream used rock to beat Lightbringers paper.

As a newbie to the source material, I have to say this has been the best breakdown of the Sandman material I've found, and I've even watched the Spanish breakdown versions (I'm bilingual). You've got a great balance of snark, humor, mockery, whilst tiptoeing right up to the 'spoilers' line w/out crossing it (not messing w/ your NDA); your serious attention to the storyline (and the previously mentioned sticking to the original Sandman source material), all the while offering your unique observations & depth I've found lacking in other reviews. That'll save me from wasting time on at least a dozen superfluous channels, almost all of which start w/, "Must listen to this before watching Sandman" in their titles. And for that, kind sir, I thank you. Pleasant dreams...

Episode 6 was my fave! Loved, loved the sharing experiences with Death and the 500+ years with Hob Gadling. For me, the series was bingeworthy up til then. The drawn-out episodes about the vortex lost me, i had to fast forward through most of them. Each episode definitely felt inconsistent, with the 1st episode almost unbearably heavy. Glad i stuck with it, tho, as it got more humorous and complex. Tom Sturridge is perfect as Dream. Hope to see more of the siblings....

I loved it, & REALLY want entire standalone series for both Johanna Constantine and Death. The changes worked, for the most part, especially simplifying John Dee’s history whilst simultaneously giving him a sympathetic backstory (and making the episode not nearly as horrific as its source material, though still keeping the feel of it.) Also, changing Brute and Glob to Gault allowed Morpheus to realize his mistakes and grow, something that we need to see to keep us involved with the character. And Jenna Coleman was simply perfect as Johanna Constantine: give me a series of her demon-hunting any day! (Especially if you add in Ric the Vic, because I freaking love Meera Syal) I have rarely been as happy with a casting as I was with Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death. She brought such warmth, joy and humour to her role that she utterly captured the underlying feeling of Death from the original. And her slightly frustrated but good-hearted older sister energy with Dream was spot-on. She seemed to be keeping herself from chucking something upside his head as she drew him out the entire way. I have never wanted to spend seven seasons and a film watching people join a psychopomp on their last journey, but now I do! Now for next season, Netflix, give us the other Endless! I need side-quest Destruction & my girl Delirium!! (Fine, Destiny as well) And more Roger Allan voicing Azazel!

If there is a season 2 and Gaiman remains faithful to his story in the source material . . . 1) Lucifer's revenge on Morpheus is to burden him with the enormous responsibility of finding a new owner to the realm of Hell. Lucifer quits, hands the Key of Hell to Dream and it's absolute chaos. All the demons escape, many powerful supernatural beings threaten and tempt Dream because they want Hell, souls escape, ghosts of the newly deceased remain on earth as they don't go to hell, etc etc 2) Just like in this season, getting Dream to kill a relative of his is Desire's main ploy through out the entire series run as means to kill Dream. For beings such as them, the punishment is their version of death. 3) The season 1 side character "Barbie" (and her fairytale fantasy dream) will be the star of 4 to 5 episodes in season 2. 4) Lyta Hall and her baby will be very very important characters (should this series not get cancelled prematurely) in the final season of the series.

I really want to learn more about what happened to that undying man. I want to see his reaction when he learns about Morpheus' real name and what he is. And the actor is doing an amazing job. I did not had the pleasure to see or read the comics, so I was very surprised when I hear that this is a DC character. And I understood everything. For once, I thank Netflix for not ruining something by altering it. It was beautiful and I don't know how I am going to wait for the 2nd season...

This show was beautiful. I miss Constantine so I appreciate them adding it in the story line. The multi ethnic cast was a plus. Every cast member was represented beautifully. Each episode was different and kept me watching. I hope next season we get to see Etrigan. I don’t ever remember seeing him in live action. We know what happened when Lucifer left hell in the series Lucifer. What would this Lucifer do when she leaves hell in the Sandman series?
@vitrify Рік тому
FYI: John Constantine was in the original story (Sandman #3, March 1989), so nothing was added to the storyline. Additionally, the show Lucifer is based on the spin off comic series of the same name (1999, 2000-2006) that is a follow-up to the Season of Mists storyline (1991) where Luci steps down and closes Hell.

@DamienLavizzo Рік тому
Sticking to the source material *when you have the original creator handy* is what works. Neil was able to guide the show through what to change and what to leave in, thanks to his experience on Good Omens as a set consultant. He's slowly but surely finding his chops in TV and I'd be shocked if before he hangs up his quill, we don't see a fully original screenplay from him.
@alexguillen9598 Рік тому
The Sandman is perhaps my second favorite comic book series ever & this adaptation is very good. Episode 5 was well adapted but missing certain aspects as well as John Dee as an overall character. Even with that and as Paul pointed out, some liberties witht the Doll’a house storyline (I think it should have been 2 episodes longer) it’s masterfully adapted and updated for the 21st century (not that it needed much)

@@thezu9250 I agree the actress who played Death did a really good job of portraying how empathetic the character really was. Some of the most emotional scenes were her comforting those she was taking to the great beyond.

I assume Lucifer's threat is to set up exactly what takes place in the comics. Loved it loved it overall, though I agree with your quibbles. Personally I wished the whole first season had been focused on the John Dee storyline and ending with that battle, though seeing Hobbs was delightful. So, please Netflix do right by something and don't cancel it but give us the entire weird wonderful Sandman story (i.e. Hector junior shouldn't be back for quite a few seasons).

As a queer person, I loved and came to really appreciate all they did to include queer actors and have queer characters throughout. The storylines and the general vibe were great, and the imagery was amazing. The actors were really well cast and they all contributed something really special. It has been the best comic adaptation to date for me. I think it really spoke to me as a gay person, and I'm incredibly grateful to have had the chance to watch this.

Loved the show, I've never read the source material but it's been in the zeitgeist for so long I felt like I have. I was able to pick up on the comic references, and notice when things seemed not to be as comic accurate. All in all I really enjoyed the show. I had some misgiving about some of the acting choices of the characters that weren't supernatural entities, but they were ok enough all in all. Stand-out performances were Stephen Fry and the actor playing the Corinthian. I was almost rooting for the Corinthian [which was odd.] I cheered each time he showed up to save Jed. Have been a big fan of Neil Gaiman for years for his other work, and glad this got the treatment it deserved.

Visually, the Netflix series is closer to the later Sandman graphic-style, rather than the distorted, constricted house-style for DC-horror comics (which likely was designed to repulse younger children). What a relief! Neil Gaiman and the other producers have the chops and technology to develop a series for Roger Zelazny's "Chronicles of Amber" novels.

Was I disappointed somewhat yes or maybe, can the do better yes.
