From a human perspective, Death and Destruction seem like the most pleasant Endless to hang out with. Let that sink in a minute

[troyforce]

The Sandman was such an incredible show. It was amazing to me how the actors did a great job of showing the human side of the endless.

[Panda_Roll]

This has to be the most detailed video about the sandman. Thank you for putting so much into it.
Although Death is my favorite from the Endless there is something interesting about Delirium. Maybe because we only get glimpses of her past and reasoning. I don't know, the idea that too knowledge can make somber (destiny) but too much of it can make you insane is just interesting.

[StefanHolder]

I’m entirely new to the lore of The Sandman and I have learned so much in this highly detailed video. Fantastic work.

[dweemiesdarkmount]

I feel bad for Death, she has to deal with Supers that keep ressurecting themselves. One moment she has their souls and another moment she lost it. It can be annoying over time.

[Eutychuskariuki]

This is the most detailed endless video I have seen so far

"To be conscious at all is to be conscious of time, and of time's arrow: of destiny. And to know that is to know that time must have a stop: to imagine death. Faced with the certainty of death, we dream, imagine paradises where it might not be so: "Death is the mother of beauty, " wrote Wallace Stevens. And all dreams, all myths, all the structures we throw up between ourselves and chaos, just because they are built things, must inevitably be destroyed. And we turn, desperate in our loss, to the perishable but delicious joy of the moment: we desire. All desire is, of course, the hope for a fulfillment impossible in the very nature of things, a boundless delight; so to desire is always already to despair, to realize that the wished-for delight is only, after all, the delirium of our mortal self-delusion that the world is large enough to fit the mind."

- Frank McConnell, from the Preface of The Sandman: Book of Dreams

Neil Gaiman's imagination is a treasure. No wonder he got along so well with Terry Pratchett.

[troesler]

I love how Gaiman makes his characters so powerful but still relatable. Neil is a master tale weaver.

[peiceofshmitegamer]

I like though how in the beginning it really shows how they didn't see humans as anything more then puppets specially with the dude that despair challenges dream to save from despair and neither truly cared about the dude and in the end only cared about who wins

[andersnielsen]

The Endless are so interesting, and it would seem that each of them, govern both the dark/evil/bad and light/good/nice aspect of their realms, even without realizing it.

[kayel]

I definitely want to see more of Desire and Delirium. Now I can't get over the fact that he died... he died! Anyway, thank you for the in making this vid and introducing all the characters. I enjoyed every part of it and didn't skip anything. Keep it up, mate.

[laurenh]

I just love the fact that despair wears crocs 🤣

[barneyrubble]

I learned a new element of the DC universe. I had never heard of the endless, yet I definitely enjoy your detailing.

[hidebehindyourscreen]

Thanks for the refresher. I read most of Sandman long ago. I’d forgotten some things and did not know others.The concepts Gaiman introduced here were astounding. The inevitability of it all. So dope

[lvamackn]

I want delerium to be part of the new netflix series, she was one of my favorite character in the series. I would love to see how she looks like 😮

[tfinnan]

It’s so cool how despair led to superman being the last son of krypton

[chantalmac]

I’m kinda excited to see this in Netflix. They said The Sandman is one of the most expensive productions of Netflix

[Rosabel_Believe]

I really appreciate your thorough and thoughtful representation of desire’s gender. Your videos are extremely informative and you can tell how much love and passion goes into each one. Thanks for your work!

[TEEANVEE]

Great video! Most looking forward to seeing Delirium in the show. Her and dreams interactions are hilarious.
