[@somefuckstolemynick]

Yeah, she killed it.

[@vforwombat9915]

she touched dream. put a hand on his leg. i'd have to go back and check, but i'm pretty sure she never touches anybody in the entire series except for when it's time. other than that, her skin is darker than i would like. but so is Dream's. i can't get over dream being all flesh colored w normal eyes. instead of all white with black holes for eyes. couldn't they have at least put some makeup on him to make his skin SLIGHTLY whiter? also taller. i woulda preferred they cast a taller actor. so between the two, Death is much better cast.

There are so many personifications of death but out of them all I think this version fits death the best an old friend that we see at the start that over time is lost to the back of your head but when you meet again at your end she greets you with a smile and a warm smile and caring hand to help guide you to that next place honestly just perfect

[@pabloc8808]

iirc Gaiman said his depiction of Death is just what he'd like to meet when his time comes. The same was true for Pratchett's Death in Discworld.

this episode was something else. It gives that thrill of joy and sadness that only Neil Gaiman can give. It really was an incredible adaptation of Sandman.

[@eltonjohntubola3212]

Death is just so insanely above her siblings that rules imposed on them are not applicable to her. She is so overpowered her siblings know better that to mess with her. She is stronger than Destiny, her older brother and is only slightly weaker than their parents Father Time and Mother Night.

[@mrrd4444]

All this and she's still so kind and compassionate... An amazing character.

[@mrjones2721]

This was the scene that got me into Sandman. I just regret she didn’t bounce the loaf off his head the way she did in the comic.

[@Landis963]

I imagine that was annoying to do in multiple takes. Probably not a coincidence that that the camera cuts as the bread passes back from Death to Dream.

[@rohanlawrence]

It's like a microcosm of the whole scene..showing the stark differences in how his Big sister Death sees the value of Life..meanwhile Dream of the Endless..spends Endless time trying to perfect dreamscape based on his shortsighted understanding of Life .. Love that you saw that

[@Homelander-Hub]

this actor's acting is awesome 👍 , appreciate 👏

[@elijahsteele9170]

I do like this more chipper version of Death. Every other personification I’ve seen, it’s like this grim, no-nonsense scary looking guy and here’s this cute girl with a kind disposition.

[@williamaldred335]

I recommend looking up the Discworld series. Death in that is weirdly comforting despite looking the stereotypical grim reaper.

[@patharasown]

Check out the film version of Hogfather...

Kat Dennings does an excellent version in the Audible series.

[@smiddlehurst1]

HO HO HO And let us not forgot possibly the most badass line in any Christmas story: HAVE YOU BEEN NAUGHTY… OR NICE/ Love that two very different versions of Death both loop around to more-or-less the same philosophy. After all what can the harvest hope for if not the care of the reaper?

[@davepowder4020]

This entire literary series became a masterclass as Gaiman learned and learned. And the execution of this show has been another masterclass. I really hope that they can carry this through the entire book series, including the more recent entries.

[@hippomancy]

I was so enamoured of the comic version of Death when it was first released, I was perhaps for the first time bothered by "re-imagining" of a character. but this actress knocked it out of the park. not as in love with Death as Thanos (comic book version), but admiring the work. wish I could have seen more- at least the graphic novel adapted...

I loved the series. It was inclusive without being cringy with a healthy representation of the alphabet people. I don't think there's that many of them but they're outside now. White Black American Brit gender swaps with iconic characters that fit, it was very broad with who was represented in this show. I definitely want another season.

[@metalhead0jtk]

Dumb question: Why didn't Death come for Rodrick Burgess when he hit his head? She would have seen Dream and he would have seen her.

[@mattiaboscherini4001]

Death was there. It is Dream that did not contact her because he was too stubborn to ask for help.

[@mattiaboscherini4001]

Death is simultaneously everywhere someone dies, but can choose whether to be seen or not by others. And she knew that Dream would be too stubborn to ask for her help. Also the Endless do have limitations in where and how they can intervene in the mortal world. Dream was captured under the existing rules, like it happened to his fiancè Calliope, the muse (also seen in the series, where she tries to ask for the Furies to intervene, but they cannot exactly because Calliope was trapped according to the ancient rules)

[@metaljakesnake]

death is my sister

[@bigblick101]

I never did get to watch this show, but that girl is hott!!

[@CoyotesOwn]

Kirby Howell-Baptiste was great as Death, but honestly, I couldn't get into this adaptation "The Sound of her wing". This is very subjective but: The story never felt to me like Death trying to cheer up Dream on purpose., it was about Dream following Death on her job, and seeing how she conducts her purpose, he regains his. And the poem is at the center of it and is one of my favorite moments of the whole series. And all of that feels missing for this. I will however admit that Hobbs story felt like an improvement over the source.
