Hob

As good if not better than Loki

Yet for redemption U took the nightmare who tried to protect the young boy from his foster parents.

For me, the Series was my introduction to the comics. I loved it enough to rewatch the show about 5 times. Then I read the book, Audible actually and was very impressed at the close adaptation. This episode remains one of my favorites along with the Cob centennial meetings

Maybe it’s Hob that got him to think of hope as the answer in the Battle in Hell with the demon(comic)/Lucifer(show)

This episode hit me in the feels so hard. It was se beautifully done.

isnt this just nightmare before christmas

Although its been 600 years since dream met hob, theyve technically only had a few hours of interactions in all those centuries

Dyings a mugs game

Nice job this is a great breakdown

oh! he was one of the guys in the hateful 8! the guy pretending to be the hangman! I knew I recognised him

legends of tomorrow also did a representation of the john Constantine and astra story line and what happened afterwards

Im like 2 3rd ways to the end. SOfar very good :>

Can I be Hob, please.

What a great analogy

This is all filmed in Richmond upon Thames….lovely to see my old neighbourhood

So how many episodes are there in sandman 2. I have tried to download but still no results

Definitely a wonderful part of the Sandman mythos, and as well-adapted as the rest of the series.

best episode

Hob has been there all along Maybe the real friends are the hob we made along the way

A 90+ minute psychoanalysis of the Hunger Games? Yes please!!👏👏👏

Well met sir

It makes sense that death would have a friendly and welcoming personality, its the only comfort between living and non living. Death is the last familiar experience in life you'll ever have.

I've watched hours and hours of analysis on this series for years, and I can safely say that this is the best in-depth analysis I've ever seen. Thank you very much for putting together such a well-made video, both with the narration and editing but above all with the breakdown and your way of approaching your analysis. Besides that I can see that it involved actual social studies and properly applied to this series, you touched on points that I had not seen anyone else notice. I feel that it's one of those readings that every time you read, depending a little on what part of your life you repeat the reading, you can learn or notice different things, I read them once or twice a year and even then it doesn't stop surprise me how much you can continue learning or identifying through them each time Thank you for your dedication❤

not gonna lie, this kind of immortality would be a pretty sweet gift 😃

Zhu/Bob Moses ending credits tune...banger!

Omg. Is he. Is he... Saint Germaine?

I honestly loved Hob. I'm tired of the trope of immortals getting tired and depressed from life, or being inherently evil just because they want to live forever. Just by mere probability there should be at least one person who wants to be immortal not because they're evil, they simply must love life so much they wouldn't get tired of it, at least for a very, veeery long time.

Imagine living more than 500 years and not become a billionaire?

i like how dream's 3 names come from his dynamic with different characters, in the endless hes dream, to his people and allies hes lord morpheus, and to humanity hes the sandman

Sad, this show could have been fantastic like the comic that it was based on. However, it was made in the time of moronic wokeness, and that very wokeness pissed off the fan base. So much so that the show failed. If one can over look the moronic woke stupidity, it was not half bad. Too bad. Oh, and Gaiman showed us all that he is a woke cuck. What an idiot.

Death grants immortality, isn't that a bit of an oxymoron?

So happy this got cancelled.... Hope one day we will get a proper and authentic adaptation free of work and agenda

I haven’t watched the live action series, but I loved this relationship in the books as well. It simply showed how little Dream truly understood humans and those with the indomitable will to live.

11:00 Dream is also the interface between the Endless and humanity. Through the Dream, the Endless have their human bodies and minds. Sentients didn't make them, but did make them who they are.

Hob being like the Methos of The Sandman univers.

Sometimes i rewatch this with the sound off, and ad-lib pretend its robert smith pf The Cure and Trent reznor of nine inch nails debating over what company manufactured the best synthesizers. While my cats pretend im sane, because i buy the food.

Hob Gadling needs a Spinoff! even if its a limited series, his tv series would be highly rated if written correctly someone should reach out to Netflix and make this happen

just finished reading the series for the third time, such a masterpiece

Thank you for this detailed analysis! I also find it interesting that his singular passion for his work not only helps connect him with people like Katherine, it even seems like it is the only reason he can connect with them in the first place. He starts visiting Katherine under the pretense of helping her in her dissertation, bringing her books and such. He also connects with his daughter this way, with her sitting in his study and them working together. After she is taken away by Edith, he struggles to connect with her at all until the end of his life. I think his work is the only reason he found a connection and love for his daughter and Katherine, so while it might seem negative that he is only focused on his work and nothing else, it does open doors for him and helps him find love :) like you or the author said, it is his identity.

So the moral of the story is, kill the kittens and the mother, or the cat might dstroy mankind. Gotcha.

This dude is high as a kite. Cats eat their young, abandon them when they're inconvenient, and other species do even worse. Humans are superior and cats lives are meaningless.

The animated episode of season one was the first time we heard the Gatekeepers speak and their voices were provided by Nonso Anozie, Diane Morgan, and Tom Wu. Perhaps they'll reprise them in the upcoming season. That might be a possibility.

Will you be breaking down the rest of season one after this episode breakdown?

I rewatched the movies recently as an adult and listened to the audiobooks for the first time a couple of days ago and I can't believe how good and carefully crafted this story is. I loved this analysis. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Everyone praises Kirby Howell-Baptise's performance, to feel politically correct. Not only does she not act like Death, but that character must have been East Asian, or at least Asian-Caucasian. We all know that this was part of paying the Netflix toll, so, stop the hypocrisy. "Giving justice to black women and lesbians" was on their agenda, so they forced representation in as much as they could. She's a good actress either way. I'm only commenting because it's unnerving to see so many people jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of fell self-righteousness. And for those who want to quote Neil Gaiman, giving approval to this choice for the character... he knows his game. One of the main triggers of controversy and word-of-mouth publicity for the program was this casting decision. Rose Walker was another character who was meaninglessly blackwashed. The only sense I can see is so that there was no confusion in some way with Delirium... a character who could have switched races, and now will be important in the second season.

Going on the list!

thanks for the rec ❤
