@@NickEnlowe actually it is a genderbent version of John. The reason why is because Gaiman liked the actress more.

@ahleenah Рік тому

I had never heard of the Sandman before but watched the Netflix adaptation by chance yesterday. I was utterly captured by it and while trying to find out more about the story, learned that it’s based on a comic book series. After watching this video, I’m amazed at how well the live action adaptation was made. All the changes only served to improve the already great source material. I really missed out not knowing about the Sandman earlier XD

@trite4654 9 місяців тому

They made it seem less surreal, more grounded. Less dependent on comic book characters. All things that helped make it a good standalone adaptation. Like you, my first introduction was the Netflix show. I loved it

@shigglezz684 4 місяці тому

I learned of the sand man ten years ago when I first got into comic books. I was pretty upset when Netflix made a show (mainly because I got a sandman tattoo before hand and the show made me look like a poser) I still haven't watched it

@KSharpei 4 роки тому

This video deserves about 6 billion views and half as many comments- this is some of the best comic/graphic novel narration I’ve ever seen. You did an amazing job with this and Transmetropolitan and I fear the lack of engagement will put you off doing more. I’d kill to see the entire Sandman series.

This has got to be the longest single video on YT that I have watched and I loved every single second of it. I love comics, got them since I was a kid (Marvel, DC, TMNT, etc.). But as I grew older I became more of a movie/series person. Thank you for doing this, it's like that feeling of loving what you read in the comics again. Never gonna forget Sandman's "I am hope." line. Such a simple yet powerful phrase that I needed to hear today.

Dhe Three Weird Sisterz from Shakespeare'z "MakBeth"

@SoulOfTheReaver 3 роки тому

The three are a much older godhead than in wicca, who are just the latest religion to worship them. To the greeks they were Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos - the Fates, or Moirai. To the vikings they were Urd, Skuld and Verdandi - the Norns. The Celts knew them as the night washerwomen, whose appearance foretells death, and Shakespeare imagined them as the Wyrd Sisters. There are also ties with the three Graces of ancient greece, but that's a more beneficent aspect than most of the others. And then there's Hecate, but let's not dwell too much on her....

Audible hosts a good reading of The Sandman; the voice actors and sound effects are great. I only wish that it had the entirety of The Sandman but it only goes for perhaps 3-4x what was covered in this video. Still one of my favourite Audible purchases. If you can find paperbacks of it, the later chapters are really cool, exploring the nature of stories - how we shape them and are shaped by them, the power of connection; its all just a really great read.
