THE SANDMAN | Comic Con 2022 Full Panel (Tom Sturridge, Gwendoline Christie, Boyd Holbrook)

[@Jumpoable]

"A lack of empathy is evil; disconnection is evil." -- Gwendoline Christie, 2022. She is so eloquent. I can listen to her lecture all day & night.

[@nougan_gamer]

Yeah, her passion and thoughtfulness of the story, the show, and her character, and how she explain them in various interviews is infectious. Her casting is perfect and such a great addition to the show.

[@fionawilliams5477]

Dear lord same! Her voice is intoxicating, her words are so agshsdh!! I just love her 😭😭😍

[@spdcrzy]

Bloody hell, if the next few seasons are anywhere NEAR as good as this one, this series is gonna be up there with Watchmen as one of the best adaptions of a graphic novel, ever.

[@iPlayDotaReligiously]

Agree! But The Boys was good too

[@issy2170]

@@iPlayDotaReligiously I think the boys is one of the best shows on TV rn, but I wouldn't say its one of best adaptions because it strays from the original material, easily a 10/10 show though:)

[@florabellegrim6367]

I just finished watching the series and it's phenomenal and mind blowing!! I could not put my phone down!! I binged watch the entire series in one night and stayed up until 5AM.. It's really superb!! The visual scenery and graphic design was spectacular!! The storyline was always interesting and there's never a boring episode!! The characters was meticulously created and made as well as the dialogues!! It's in Top 10 right now in Netflix and hopefully it stays in Top 10 for the next few weeks or even months, maybe even reach Top 1 cz it honestly deserves that spot!! It's soo good!!

[@tdslywka]

That one episode though? You know which one. That's something you want to watch with your friends! To experience it together! To me it seemed like more of an introduction into what to expect from this series than anything else! What happens when a mortal has this power!? But so than Dream took it back and everyone forgot they went crazy?

[@iPlayDotaReligiously]

@@tdslywka 24/7, the darkest comic ever written according to Neil himself

[@mathildeb2710]

Agreed this series BLEW my mind and now I am trying to consume all the interviews and media online about it that I can!!

[@tdamtoft]

On your PHONE?! Get it on a big screen, the scenography is phenomenal.

[@jord1215]

i bet next time around Tom’s gonna get the biggest applause.

[@zoyeah28]

ikrrr

[@fionawilliams5477]

I cannot deal with Gwendoline Christie explaining her role. I'm so engulfed in her voice it's so intoxicating!! I love her 😍

[@rararaddee_b7718]

I binged it in my phone. It was amazing but I feel like I didn't give it justice so I watched it again on the big TV. Truly mesmerizing experience.

[@inzaghiscornsalad7034]

same here, gonna watch it again but def on tv, didnt do the visuals justice the first time

[@coucou6281]

Tom deserved a better ovation

[@PerseidaMode]

I guess this was before the show was on air

[@Chimera723]

Yeap, he surely did deserve! But perhaps it was better for him like that... In interviews I've watched he looks like a humble guy, a bit embarrassed by all this praise he gets... Next year he'll rock :)

[@Chimera723]

I mean too much (fan) love can kill you ;)

[@zoyeah28]

factss

[@salomericco7260]

I know I wouldve lost it

[@riverlea2559]

I cannot even tell you how many times I watched episode 4 just to hear Gwendoline say the following: “I am a dire wolf” “I am a serpent” “I am a nova!” And I am proud

[@Ailieorz]

Neil talking about Mason whilst using their preferred pronouns without even blinking is just beautiful. That's how it's meant to be people, it's not hard

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

Empathy isn't only for the perfect and correct.

[@bbi-bbi-bbeat-itxd1858]

He did create Desire as such, decades ago so Neil's been ahead of our time for decades.

[@S....]

@@bbi-bbi-bbeat-itxd1858 Not at all. Desire was binary, she was either man or woman, switching genders all the time, while the actor identifies as non-binary, none of those genders. One maybsay that those two are opposites. Also Desire had black hair.

[@bbi-bbi-bbeat-itxd1858]

@@S.... @S. I'm aware it had black hair, I've read the comics too love lol and I refer to Desire as 'it' because I remember that was also its pronouns cause it is desire personified, therefore it was/could be anything and everything. The endless also used 'them' and called them 'sibling'. So honestly, is Desire non-binary? Ofcourse. But Desire is also binary. So it is what it is. Also the point of my reply earlier was to point out how much of a Gee Neil is

[@TWFydGlu]

Neil Gaiman being precise with words?!

[@topgurl9313]

I LOVED this show. Honestly, I knew nothing about the novel and didn't even intend to watch this show until someone finally recommended it. I'm so glad I watched. The cast is AMAZING.

[@mayfair_forest_witch]

5:31 Neil: We went to her and said: do you want to be in Sandman? She said: yeaaah... Wanna be Lucifer. And we went: yeaaah.... Love this guy 😂

[@bagrym]

Gaiman seems really happy with it. good to see it

[@fakiha.]

Loved the cheers for Mason Alexander Park. I would have yelled my lungs out lol because they were jusy PHENOMENAL!!! I loved their character and ✨VOICE✨

[@FromMOROCCOwithLUV]

I am very excited about the sandman, i do not care if it gets bombarded by critics. I will be watching

[@ernstodemontelungo7497]

Me too

[@Twistedkingjabs89]

I feel that dude

[@Lion_Heart_Zimbabwe]

Me too mate. Don't worry about the critics. Their opinions do not matter and will be swept aside. The Sandman will be EPIC!! Can't wait.

[@TD-xo4tg]

It's a DC show.. ofc critics will hate it . Critics only like mcu shows/movies

[@Weebong]

I think it is meant for the fan more than critic. hehehehehehehehehe

[@dabouye]

The Sandman was absolutely fantastic! Loved the show ❤

[@sigmasix3719]

Yes wonderful, if only they hadn't altered the characters and stories and spoiled it.

[@Niischay2004Muller]

Waiting for season 2 !!!!❤

[@savage_skirt5386]

Loved Boyd. If it gets picked up for 2nd season, would def like to see more of Mason

[@jimmorrish6771]

used to have a comic shop here in cork, ireland and sandman was a BIG seller for us, love it, particularly issue 14 with the serial killer convention.... Gaimans entire run was magnificent though

[@Lion_Heart_Zimbabwe]

Brilliant cast and crew. This will be EPIC!! As I have been saying all week, Jenna as Johanna is Perfect!! She is brilliant! One of the most talented and beautiful actresses of all time. 😍❤️❤️👏

[@tanithbroom]

Gwendolyn talking about the role and Sandman is like 👌I cannot even.

[@blacklavoux]

Neil waited the technology for this adaptation. Watched it on netflix today, and i love it. I fucking love it.

[@cable7152]

The latest trailer blew me away, and it seems everyone involved, including Neil of course, know what they are doing, this could be something special.

[@exquisitecorpse__]

You are the first to have the floor to ask acclaimed writer Neil Gaiman about the production of the adaptation of his magnum opus that is 3 decades in the making and you ask about Funko Pops?

[@Nctzen12772]

I've never witnessed such as incredible and breathtaking adaption of a complicated comic. An actual work of art 🤌🏻✨️

[@diegoalves-conhecimento8125]

This Netflix series is going to be spectacular!

[@edwardm1326]

Just finished watching it. And it is indeed spectacular.

[@Luckylucy17]

Im so happy to look back at this after the second season confirmation

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

Just finished watching the series and loved it! I hope it gets tons of views so we can get a second season

[@DanielePimentel]

Thank you so much for this! ♥️

[@GRVCE1819]

Definitely watching the sandman on netflix!

[@SatrnOne]

Anybody else notice, in the description of the video, that everyone else gets referred by their name, but Jenna is "Joanna Constantine"? 😂

[@DigitalCrate]

And Patton Oswalt twice

[@nigelgreen9369]

My question for Neil would be: "A lot of your books have been turned into one form of cinematic art form or another; comics, film, TV, audio-books: Stardust, Neverwhere, American Gods, Coraline... If you had to choose between the original words on a page and a dramatic adaptation, which is your favourite and why?"

[@frankenviews4069]

I'm glad Neil waited until the technology was available to accurately represent his work but I'm also afraid that the current levels of overall stupidity and lack of sophistication among humans are at an all time low, that this show won't have the numbers to green light a second season.

[@Karin_Allen]

I'm kind of worried about that too, because of the sheer length of Sandman. How many times would it have to be renewed for another season before we could see the whole story? I really, really, *really* want it to happen; but I'm also afraid.

[@winterbear6147]

LMAOOOO I absolutely love this reply and agreee with everything you just said.

[@RaulGomez-ji2qv]

Agree… this should have been green lighted by now.

[@jl5749]

@@RaulGomez-ji2qv don't worry, they normally wait at least a month

[@KonniWynn]

I'll be phrasing Sandman: People are almost always better than you think they are. Don't underestimate people's need for brainfood and spectacle(Sandman is both)

[@cherryfireice8216]

Netflix needs to continue to be supportive and greenlight Season 2 NOW!

[@susbedoo]

I just loved the show. Every episode, transition, lighting, music, dialogues, story telling, especially actors were amazing. I knew nothing about sandman prior but still loved the show

[@agag6949]

I really love all these cast and their characters! They nailed it seriously! Wake me up when season 2 arrives 😭👌 I'll be in the dreaming world for the meantime...

This has to be one of the smartest panels ever seen on stage.

[@fanngurl164]

i absolutely ADORE Death! She is AMAZING!!!

[@fave525]

i'm on my 2nd rewatch of the show. I started reading the comics and i'm not a big comic book reader. I picked up the audible adaptation and i generally dislike audiobooks. and i am hooked. i'm obsessed. I love the og material and the adaptations so much, it's such a fantastic story that i just can't get enough of.

[@MinurielVilquen]

Lmao the yoghurt analogy fits so well and they SUCCEEDED. I got to know Sandman through this series and I can't stop telling my family about it.

[@einezcrespo2107]

Uhm you credited Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine! But thanks for downloading. I was waiting for his panel.

[@FablesOutofSpace]

I am gonna watch the all end credits for this show!!!

[@candjim]

Fantastic cast.

[@ThefetchNZ]

I always read Death in the sandman as a facet of love.

[@anonymousname5860]

Love and death are both depicted as beautiful in art but death is sometimes kinder while love can be cruel. I think I heard that somewhere once.

[@avl3487]

Desire's personality and role in the series is really really interesting.... cant wait for season 2

[@biafernandes5520]

Love all the cast, especially Desire, Corinthian and Dream, but can we talk about the others not here and not very mentioned elsewhere and that were amazing? I'm talking about David Thewlis, brilliant. The whole cast in the 24/7 episode? Joely Richardson, Stephen Fry, the actor that played Rosemary and the one that played Hob Galding, among others. The supporting cast was great and honestly some even had more screen time that some others here. That being said Desire leaves us desiring that they had many more scenes. Best performance and best casting option for me in the whole show. Mason nails it.

[@deanwinchester1220]

The Sandman series is a masterpiece in the comics, imagine how it will be on August 5, 2022. Remembering that the author of Sandman literature, Neil Richard Mackinnon Gaiman is in production. One more point, for the unsuspecting, the perpetual and brothers, since the beginning of time are: Destiny, death, dream, destruction, desire, despair and delirium. Second point, the story of Sandman, is divided into ten arcs, with beginning, half (development), and end (conclusion). Here are these arches: 01 - Preludes and nights, 02 - The Doll House, 03 - Land of the dream, 04 - Station of the Mosts, 05 - distant mirrors, 06 - A game of you, 07 - Brief Lives, 08 - End of worlds, 09 - loved ones, 10 - Awaken. The timeline of the Sandman character and dream administrator dream is told his Interaction with humans and magical beings of their mini - heavenly world, history goes through eras on the earth and in the cosmic universe.

[@FidelisDeiFiliusAugustinus]

For me, Tom is such a hot sandman, I saw him, I knew I would definitely see it 🤭. Gwen and desire were casted so amazingly, just look at them and their experiences, 100% the show is lit! 💁🏻‍♂️ and this Corinthian is way better than one in the comic 🤭

[@max3753]

Great live action!! Love it.

[@thiagocordeiro4388]

Já estou gostando muito da atriz que vai representar a Morte! A representação dela na cena liberada foi ótima!

[@TheFlowMind]

Neil seems happy so...let's hope for the best!

[@tikauknow]

I love this series, luv luv luv!! Handsome Tom~

[@Marlieboro]

Ya'll definitely need to bring back the corinthian! Boyd was a scene stealer!

[@phillybul30]

I always wanted to read the comics but just never did. I will be watching this with no reference but I always heard that it was spectacular

[@el_curvo]

You should definitely give it a shot! I recently finished going through the entire series for the first time and it was just spectacular. There's lots of ways to get started, I rented a lot of the books from my library. There's also the audiobook adaptation that's really great too!

[@phillybul30]

@Caradoc g nice. I was tripping last night. 🌊

[@BlackJackLopez]

I think it's a great idea for you to watch it, and THEN read the comics. I think everyone should just take this as is: another way to tell the stories. 'Hype' tends to create expectations and run out of control, and then the experience is tainted from what you expected, which I believe is what happened to every DC adaptation on film to date. I'll tell you, I read the comic book series and it completely shocked my World. Ever since a tv show or movie was hinted, I was skeptical about it, even knowing Neil was involved. For what I've seen in the trailer, this is going to be fantastic. But yes, you definitely HAVE to read the comics, before, during or after.

[@flomccanuck8095]

I've not read the comics either. Went in cold & was just fine following it. Terrific storytelling. Fair warning the later episodes aren't as strong but it ends on a high note. Will def watch S2

[@michaelpeters364]

Pretty impressed with Kirby Howell-Baptiste dropping "psychopomp". Neil knew what she was talking about - - not sure of the rest. (Not trying to insult them - - it's not a widely discussed concept, outside comparative mythology... just saying Kirby has an excellent brain)

[@nougan_gamer]

Shoutout to the 2nd to the last audience who asked a question... every other one who asked a question was reading off their question pre-written on their phone or notebook... she's the only one holding a cup of coffee (or tea), LOL

[@goingnowere101]

I finished watching it and it’s a good watch. I understand setting it in 2021 means they had to alter some of the scenes but I think they made it a lighter story. The comics are a lot darker and I hope the change won’t affect them creating a second season.

[@deiseabu]

Should have gotten everyone on the panel to speak more

[@paulbrown6464]

so glad that Neil is pronouncing Constantine the correct way

[@NathaliLima1]

I’m indeed in love with Kirby

[@jl-carter]

Panel host: I don’t let my daughter listen to your standup Patton bc it’s too adult Also the panel host, less than a minute later: I’ll let my daughter watch this incredibly dark show when it comes out on August 5th!! (bc gotta plug that premiere date)

[@zenfrodo]

The clip I saw based on "Sound of Her Wings" has completely sold me on Howell-Baptiste as Death. I used to hope I'd either be met by Pratchett's Death or Gaiman's Death from the comics, when I finally pass. Now Howell-Baptiste's portrayal is added to that hope list. My highest congratulations, Kirby -- I really thought Death of the Endless would be nigh-impossible shoes to fill, and you nailed it. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sold on Christie as Lucifer, but that's because I fell in love with Tom Ellis's wickedly sexy snarky take in the Lucifer TV series...just disappointed that they didn't snag him for the role. Oh well.

[@alastorcorvus]

Tom Ellis is great, but that shitshow was not Lucifer. He's a great actor but a terrible Lucifer.

[@derekhamilton7451]

I'm really glad to hear that. Death is the only casting that worries me, not because of Kirby Howell-Baptiste, as I've literally never seen anything with her, but because Kat Dennings did such an incredible job in the Audible adaptation that it has been hard for me to imagine someone else in the part. But your comment and a few others are giving me confidence that we are going to have another wonderful Death come ep 6.

[@Ailieorz]

No Gwendoline nailed it. She has the angelic and ethereal aura which Lucifer would have. Kirby is fantastic though, the whole cast is just sublime

[@bitchoflivingblah]

@@derekhamilton7451 Best episode of the whole series and yes Kirby Howell-Baptiste is a revelation as Death.

[@Tao_Tology]

Maybe to depict other stories/events Ellis' Lucy would have fit but for this series the character needed much darker rage and repressed pain/loss.
