Depression, end of the world, death itself...etc there are many things that can kill hope XD

​@@Pablo-gc1roThen why are you still here?

@@XJ0461C because I don't have those things.

@Pablo-gc1ro Fair, but plenty do who still choose to live. If hope could truly be killed by any of them, those people wouldn't be. Just as anyone can have hope for the future, a great career, a loving family, and yet still fall victim to depression and take their own life.

@@sanggreceleste33 I didn't understand that line, care to elaborate?

you get it.

Indeed

And I personally like to choose to think that it's not that Lucifer doesn't know how to kill hope but choose not to. Because as you said, that would mean abandoning the one thing they're not will to give up on

It would mean killing herself. Lucifer Morning Star, the Light Bringer, Dawn Bringer, her name suggests Hope. Dawn is the symbol of Hope, so as bringing light and a morning star. It was checkmate.

@@chriscyrelestil304 that title about hope is no longer relate with lucifer After lose in the war, he just is lucifer the fallen angel And even if he still is lucifer morning star, his title not bound by the hope of dream, it should be the opposite, hope of dream will be bound by lucifer Because lucifer is who beyond dream

Yea I liked that to when Lucifer said she was anti life and dream said he was hope it reminded of Superman and darksied

And contrary to that, Lucifer replies with "I am anti-life, The Beast of judgement" gave me chills, just imagining the end of everything with a few words.

I love how it is a concept that wins in the end. Hope is a construct, often fleeting but always ready to be born again.

Took me a few watches to notice Lucifer encompassing the universe as it dies.

@@ajedrezbrasil7968 yes, they are outerversal entities after all

Very good point. The only counter to hope is doubt and to accept that Lucifer would have to accept that despair

Doubt does not defeat hope completely. It's not really an effective counter.

YES! Someone who gets it. I mean, it should be obvious to Lucifer of all beings what destroys hope "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here" read the gates of Hell according to Dante HELL Hell is the thing that destroys hope. Or at least it should be... Except Lucifer the Light Bringer, the first one to be on Hell, has still not lost hope for a life outside Hell The age of the universe they has been cast into the place that destroys all hope and they still hold on to a shiver of hope That's why the Morning Star can't respond to that move

Yeah, I didn't like that either. Was almost like Dream was giving up when in the comics he maneuvered the demon into a trap. He was a little bit too weak-willed in this live-action....

Holy shit I just hit that part in the clip and it is ROUGH

62% of Americans never went to college. Spelling shit out is almost necessary so the dumb viewers out there would understand what is happening. You'd notice actors explaining concepts when they should be obvious to everyone in the scene. Even the Lord of the Rings movies have it. "A diversion", as if we don't know. We do, but there are countless others who don't.

I wish they'd gone with something other than anti-life. Like "entropy" or "the big freeze". Suppose those couldn't be countered by hope though.

Agreed, I was so pleasantly surprised by the battle.

no, the way supernaturals fight is through us.

@@slewone4905 there is no such thing as something that is supernatural. Everything can be explained.

The fact that their imaginations actually *affects* them in all real way just make it more powerful.

Yeah, and he's lucky that Lucifer show mercy and don't burn him alive in that moment LoL

That was so stupid. Just spelled it all out. Ruined the whole thing

I thought to myself... "I am a 9-5 Job at Wal-mart, hope crushing dream wrecking"

Imagine being Matthew, one day you are a regular lad and the next day you are a raven servant of Dream and you are in a grave danger of getting stuck in hell.

That's the Hope, spoked by Dream

@@dannytheman1313 yeh in the comics it’s quite clear, his main goal is around the escape from predestination… There are many steps along the way, including the recovery of the wings… But heaven was just a place of betrayal for him…it’s possible there was a subtext, but nothing textual I remember suggested any wish to return to heaven…

Yes I remember those, right along with the 'my daddy can beat up your daddy' battles

Netflix makes a lot of mistakes in several productions, but when it gets it right, it hits with everything it has.. this series is magnificent.

Probably because the author Neil Gaiman is an executive producer.

@@hidankakuzu6052 that is true. I think he got the grasp on what works on the pages but doesn't on film. Like on the page it looked like a slam poetry "battle", with a lowly demon in a club like setting. There was no raven, and Dream won by somewhat turning the table, since he figured out the way the demon ramps up the game. In the show it had more impact. Sure I missed the other two lords of hell, and Etrigan leading Dream to the palace, the lore between being a rhymer, but not dearly. I liked the show, and I refreshed the volumes. Say, can anyone tell me if the audio book is any good? I'm thinking about that one too for comparison. Thank you. And of course this was only my point of view. Cheers!

I love sandman but best show of 2022 must be Severance

Netflix will still cancel this if it wants to.

The point is not that hope cannot be killed, it's that Dream understands that Lucifer will not do it. Because then hope dies for him to (hope to escape hell, win the war against his father etc). So he gives up.

Amen... no pun intended

Yes , all you say is true, I see it sometimes, and sometimes it moves me, because in a sense after the end there is hope that we will endure. That the anti life the heat death of the universe, somehow will not be the end.

Show writers hardly have anything to with dialogues. The lines are exactly extracted from comics verbatim with just some lines cut to save runtime. That's why it is such a good show.... They didn't try to change things from the comics except the usual(Like John becomes Johanna)

The shows writers didn’t do shit. This is ALL Neil Gaiman.

One writer, Neil Gaiman. He wrote this scene back in 1988, word for word. But in the comics it was with the demon Choronzon, not Lucifer.

Not too mention, those depictions are far from accurate

I think Lucifer is a he in sandman but just appears like a woman for biblical accuracy

Yeah bri dc lucifer is just something else

@@scorpo.2000.platinum Indeed

Lucifer was the most beautiful angel according to the Bible

On top of that, Dream is never seen standing above Lucifer- They are made to look to be the more powerful in many ways, but at the end Dream is back on his feet looking up despite the odds. The camera operation in this is phenomenal. :)

I truly believe that when he said hope lucifer remembered he was the light bringer at one time which is hope

I think Lucifer was thinking of its hope of reconciliation and redemption. Hope was its deepest wish, and therefore deepest fear.

Even Lou can't stop hope, what a treat.

@@sleeplesssongbird7625 I gotta say, Lucifer is probably stronger than the endless, After cutting himself from the presence. He isn't even tied to any of that stuff anymore.

I read the comics so I had a general idea of how it would play out, but the way they adapted it was amazing.

And still respecting Lucifer's title! Matthew really balances a tightrope here and I'm proud of him!

Well lucifer has honor duel anything else is beneath him

great character terrible choice of VA, Patton Oswalt is just an annoying voice to hear.

That's how Lucifer is factuallly depicted in the bible

@Longneck You miss the point. Morpheus ask: what is it that kills Hope? The answer: The End of Dreams. By defeating him she defeats herself and as a result Doubt held her back.

@@madaramanulp2595 Lucifer is supposed to be tempting

@Jowey de la Nota yeah but look at the actress is she tempting????

Some Borne Ultimatum style action lmao

I think they actually improved it over the source (where it was Choronzon vs. Dream). By having Lucifer take part personally, they raised the stakes and made Morpheus winning much more impressive a feat. Also, Lucifer's wounded pride over a *personal* defeat makes their promise to destroy Dream far less petty.

@@mattlemmons6647 yeah it develops Lucifer as a good enemy for next season. I haven’t read the source material so I don’t know how far this war between the dreaming will go but I’m excited

@@alfreddozier832 among hell and rest of the realms*

@@mattlemmons6647 No, this is worse because it says that Morpheus is smarter than Lucifer twice. Outsmarting a demon following by insulting Lucifer is better. It shows that Dream is the most powerful being in hell, which is the whole fucking point. If he beat Lucifer in the game and afterwards it's redundant.

ohhhh that's a good catch

And that Matthew was convinced that "Dream of the Endless would never leave his raven alone in hell with Lucifer," even after learning that that's what he did to Nada. As if he simply couldn't accept that that's who Dream was and believed he was better than that. He, too, had hope.

@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 by existence I mean Lucifer purpose, I know he is not going to disintegrate if dream dies.

You should read the graphic novels if you get s chance. The show follows the script fairly closely but there are unique elements in the book that are worth encountering and appreciating. It is one of the finest graphic novels ever created. I say created and not written, because the visual aspect of the panels are just as important as the words.

Because that how angel supposed to be, but not any angel, THE angel, the first fallen, the upper class of angels in the bible Jesus is the first son of God, I think Satan was the second and then all the other angels came to exist.

Yess. Lucifer gave the most emphasis as she said she's a "Nova" because in Gaiman's Sandman, Lucifer is God's "Lamp Lighter" which just means Lucifer creating and destroying stars.

No it’s the opposite, hope is the answer to defeat despair, not the other way around. Despair is the answer to delight/happiness. You can’t use despair to defeat hope because hope is born and exists within from pain/sufferings/despair/darkness/anti life.

@@matthewjensen524 Except hope cannot be achieved by someone who's already succumbed to despair. Despair means you've lost hope, and nothing can change that except an external shift of circumstance. That requires assistance from an outside source, or divine intervention.

@@bernardsoul5186 you're absolutely right. Even if you're full of hope, if you fall into despair, it will cloud up your judgment and you'll abandon it, unless, of course, there's external help/intervention. Although it is also true that it goes vice-versa, hope being an opposite to despair, Lucifer would rather have this little wound in the ego than winning the duel to the cost of admitting defeat in the greater battle, for saying there's a way to destroy hope, Lucifer would admit that the adversary to be dethroned from heaven was right; hell is where the lightbringer belongs for all eternity, and just can never win.

@@bernardsoul5186 I disagree. If you applied that same logic to anti life/destruction of everything, then hope wouldn’t be the answer either because according to your logic, there is no hope left when there’s nothing left to hope for because it’s total darkness/void of all existence. Clearly hope is what gives strength to all who are in darkness, hope is what drives new creation from the void of emptiness and hope is what gives you the will to endure despair. If that’s not the case, Lucifer wouldn’t accept defeat when Dream countered that without the ability to hope/dream of heaven, hell would lose its power for all those souls in hell who are already in eternal despair no longer serves any purpose. Despair would be the answer to delight/happiness, it’s what kills happiness, but not hope. Hope by definition is the anti thesis of all that is negative - destruction/despair/anti life/void/emptiness etc..

@@henrique8879 all those souls in hell who are in eternal despair would beg to differ. Hope is what drives them to exist or else hell no longer has any meaning. Hope is the ultimate answer to the void, the anti life, the total darkness of all and certainly hope is what drives you through despair and overcome it as well. Think of it this way, no matter how much suffering, how much despair, how much pain and how dark it is, if there is a gleam of hope that there is a light at the end of the darkness, if there is a gleam of hope that there is an end to all of the pain/sufferings/despair, then that is enough to drive you forward. Without hope, despair has no meaning. Hope by definition is born through despair/destruction/anti life/pain and sufferings/darkness, not the other way around.

Fighting is for mortals 😜

I was thinking the same thing

It only works because of the skill of the two actors, Christie and Sturridge. This is a master class in acting.

Fighting is just for amateurs for them. 😅

That was a game not a serious fight, in that case Lucifer wins easy.

Knew Lucifer was an angel prior to his fall from grace but never knew what he did. This info makes this moment so much better

I really love the look of shock on her face as the realization that she lost literally dawns on her. As fine as the acting is, small details like that what make this series so amazing.

Despair destroys hope but I guess that would be too personal an admission. Brilliant scene. This version is way different from the Vertigo Lucifer who really craved freedom above anything. He was generally neutral and hostile as the situation required it and forced no one to do anything other than exterminating people who prayed in the universe he created. I suppose that was harsh. I hoped he and the Presence would finally reconcile but that never happened

@@johannedillworth7413 - I'm not sure that would be a legal move: The embodiment of Despair is one of the Endless, and it is absolutely forbidden for one of the Endless to shed the blood of another. I suspect that an illegal move in such a game would have much greater consequences than "Sorry, pick something else."

@@TechBearSeattle That’s very interesting. Well at least in that concept the Angel has some limitation on its mischief.

Besides She has little stakes in this fight. She didn’t throw it out of curoisity and some PR

In the comics, Choronzon fought for himself. I guess they changed it in the show to have Morpheus look smarter than Lucifer or to add more suspense? An unnecessary change that takes away a bit of hype from Lucifer, in my opinion.

I think you have it up-side down mate. Lucifer is the most hopeful individual in all of existence, he clings on to the hope that he will be able to break free from his father, its what keeps him going. He knew he was beat the moment Dream named Lucifer's own 2nd greatest weapon

Lucifer is not thinking that gods role would be too much for him, in comics he created his own universe and became a god he just doesent want to be one he wants to have free will

@@Darklarik3 What is his first greatest, then?

You will

Hope lmao

@@truthseeker7815 You have to understand that in Hell the only thing they dream about is the Hope to one day reach heaven. Lucifer may be above The Endless, but not even she can destroy Hope, which is an essential concept for the beings in Hell or else all that would remain is Despair. For more understanding in this matter, you should watch some videos about these characters. None of them are all-powerful only The Presence is. You see, even Lucifer hopes for something. She hopes to some day destroy god or in DC comic terms The Presence, her/his father. These beings can be whatever/whoever they want.

@@officialnoonon Another thing about Lucifer is that if they can’t kill God, they can at least become truly free. Completely separate from their Father’s grand design and rule. Hope is something even Lucifer believes in. Without hope, they would resign themselves to their Father’s plan. Lucifer can’t defeat something they themselves don’t want to see defeated. Dream really played with them in this show. Hit ‘em right where it hurts.

I think she's good too, but she doesn't fit Lucifer. It's too drastic a change after 6 seasons of Tom Ellis's spectacular performance as both Lucifer and Michael in the show that's loosely based off the comic-book characters. I think Ellis would've been perfect here, combining aspects of his performances of Lucifer and Michael to make the perfect Lucifer for The Sandman.

If you’d know, they aren’t actually mentioning being wolfs, worlds, etc, if you see the picture,Lucifer Is trying to break Dreams Spirit by tormenting with Dreams worst fears or nightmares, Dream is just retaliating with what he can, the anti life equation could be Lucifer telling dream to kill himself or to abandon all hope in life, and Dream responds with hope which brings him back to life because he could erase the suicidal thoughts away after the raven talked to him

You missed the point completely. Yes, hope can be killed but Lucifer won't do it. Because Lucifer hopes too, to escape hell, defeat his father etc. If Lucifer kills hope, he also loses...

its about faith not Hope.Hope is blind faith. Hope is belief. Faith is knowlege.

@@Iloveyoubabys how do all of the cultists have so much faith in god when they have no actual knowledge of anything?

@@Iloveyoubabys how do you have faith if you dont have knowledge of the sources in the first place? You’re willing to kill hope, for your faith. That’s what make faith different than hope.. faith is ignorance.

@@Lucci136 Forget it. This dude tried to convince me in another comment that faith is knowledge. He's delusional.

@@dieantler Exactly. But this guy believes faith is knowledge. He told me so.

Not a meteor, a nova. It’s a massive explosion made by a dying star.

I figured the counter to that would've been entropy, but that worked too

Well it is in the same universe and I always wondered if it was a reference to that

I don't think that's how it works - what they say they 'are' in the game has nothing to do with the amount of power they have to 'embody' anything. It's a game of imagination. For every creature or concept one player thinks of, the other player has to be able to find a different creature or concept that can either kill it or just not be threatened by it. A wolf gets killed by a hunter gets killed by a snake gets killed by a bird of prey gets killed by a virus - at this stage of the fight, both of them are trying to kill each other. Then Morpheus switches tactics - he says he's a world because a virus is just something that a world contains but that can't harm the world. And Lucifer is still trying to kill, with a nova. So Morpheus is a universe - again, universes contain thousands of novae and are just not harmed by them. The step of 'anti-life' I guess has to be interpreted as not just killing all life (a universe would be perfectly fine without living creatures in it) but also everything that can metaphorically be said to have life - including stars, which can 'die'. And hope is the ultimate trump card for various reasons that have been sxplained here already (some of them specific to Lucifer, but in the original comics, Lucifer wasn't the one having this fight with Morpheus), but I believe most of it is that there will be creatures who will cling to hope in the face of anything (for reference, Morpheus's own line: What power would hell have if those imprisoned here would not be able to dream of heaven?")
