I don’t think I could talk about The Sandman on here because, like, Neil Gaiman is here, just hanging out. I’d be like “Oh, I like how they visualized this one scene, it was different from the comics but I don’t think they original comics visualizations would have worked in live action “ or whatever And then Neil Gaiman might appear like “Yeah, we were having trouble figuring out how to do that scene until one of our production designers had a vivid hallucination while eating a 3AM Gyro purchased from an all-night food truck outside the Bass Pro Shop pyramid” and I don’t think I’m ready for that experience. Alternatively, I could say “Dream is a little too scrungly to be a classic Tumblr Sexyman, but he is prime meow-meow blorbo material” and Neil Gaiman might appear and say “Yeah, we were having trouble figuring out the exact ratio of Sexyman, poor little meow meow, and Blorbo, but the final characterization appeared to Tom Sturridge in a vivid hallucination while eating a 3AM Gyro purchased from an all-night food truck outside the Bass Pro Shop pyramid” and I don’t think I’m ready for THAT either.

gotta love the duality of morpheus's chosen love interests
ex-wife: a literal centuries upon centuries old ancient greek muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry and who looks and speaks like an ethereal wonder
current boyfriend: a himbo

Are folks ready to admit Neil Gaiman was right about the eyes thing? Like, he said on his own Tumblr that it was for the acting performance (which matters a lot more for a long-form show). And the night-eyes look great and impactful when they make their appearances! But yeah, considering Morpheus is *completely silent* for the first 40 minutes of the first episode, and had to do a lot of acting *entirely with his eyes*, it works impeccably well.
Seriously though shout out to Tom Sturridge for the micro expressions. You know the era of tumblr where people would read paragraphs of meta into a character blinking? He does that. Manages a whole range of expressions without ever leaving the address of "slight pout".

It's amusing that this dude seriously thought mOnEy would somehow placate this obviously otherworldly being who just said he's not calling any "human" agency.

Important distinction for Sandman fans who’ve only watched the show...
Morpheus in the comics:
Tumblr media
- 100% dtf
- Nada fell for him so fast she saw him in a dream once and was prepared to give up her kingdom and break the laws of the universe for him, Calliope provides a detailed and totally unprompted description of how of all her many lovers he was the best, Alianora’s very much dead but still thirsting for him, Thessaly hated him at first but very much still wanted to tap that, has such power over the collective unconscious of all sentient beings that he once got laid and gave every conscious lifeform the same sex-dream
- Can change his entire appearance at will to better his chances
- of all the endless, has only ever been out-hoed by Desire
Morpheus in the show:
Tumblr media
- Has clearly never known the touch of a woman in his life
- Divorced
- Permanently looks like an 80s twink with full guy-liner or a bedraggled wet cat
- Divorced.
And let me tell you, as someone who grew up rooting for the trainwreck male-leads in nordic crime dramas and thus likes her men as pathetic as possible, I am loving the direction they’re going in. I guess Neil Gaiman has been immersed in fandom long enough to know how to give the people exactly what they want.
(Edit) This got a few more reblogs than I thought and I am very much here for some of the tags, so I just thought I’d add as a caveat; I absolutely ship Dreamling, however, I’m more than willing to believe it’s possible for two guys to have a centuries-old queer platonic relationship where they’ve never done anything more intimate than hold hands. And yes, Tom Sturridge was perfect for the role due to his inexplicable ability to have amazing chemistry with anyone on screen (even if they’re playing his immortal siblings) but also manage to seem asexual af, we need more like him.
Disclaimer: this post has no intention of slut-shaming anyone, least of all Morpheus, it’s merely an appreciation of the discrepancy between his many romantic sub-plots in the comics and his obvious lack of a prominent love-interest in the show. But to those claiming there were only six women in the comics; yes, six that we know of and are explicitly shown. Others are alluded to, or are you calling Mervyn a liar?
