2022-08-19 21:55:13 +0000 UTCThe removal of the DC comics stuff was done pretty well, but like. When Dr. Destiny said "They took my stone away from me" I can't help but wonder "Who took it away? The FBI? they took away your stone that alters reality? How?"

2022-08-15 07:06:29 +0000 UTCYup! Though I love the audio dramas

2022-08-15 07:06:09 +0000 UTC100% agree on the top & tail eps (especially the 1st as it was too bitty and slow), but as you say, a great adaption and the changes were for the better and understandable (license rights issues etc). I totally didn't make a link between the queer characters and "bad", so when you did I was taken aback- to me they were simply characters whose sexuality\ gender had no direct impact on the decisions made in the story.

2022-08-13 16:15:10 +0000 UTCNo spoilers per se and taking into account the entire Sandman arc, there are no spoiler because the story is far from over and we haven't got to the end game story.

2022-08-13 16:10:01 +0000 UTCI loved the adaptation and was really impressed. (And I agree with the voice. Very similar to the one in the audio drama.) Some of your issues are valid though I didn't see them as such while I was watching it. And I am not quite sure if Nada (her relation with Dream is thousands of years old) would have imagined a white person. So I think it is only fitting that he changed. Dream is an anthropomorphic personification after all. He will be imagined and re-imangined differently by different people.

2022-08-13 14:51:45 +0000 UTCIn a way. If you don't know the comics and want to watch the show first, go watch the show before you watch the review. edit: ok, a lot. Go watch the show if you want to avoid spoilers
