The Endless - Absurd Humanoid Lovecraftian Gods That Are Embodiments Of Human Feeling & Life Cycles

We have totally lost the meaning of Lovecraftian. It doesn’t describe The Endless in the least.

How are they lovecraftian? They are cosmic, but not unfathomable or monstrous. They don't exactly exist in the stars either or explicitly emit horror. They are flesh and blood in a sense, they have feelings and emotions, we can understand their motives and relate to them. There is so little lovecraftian here it's an insult.

Something along the lines that if one of them sees a bolt of lightning in the sky and takes notice of it, for CENTURIES afterwards mortals will occasionally see the ghost of that bolt of lightning.

@@mikestanmore2614 I didn't say that precicely... in both cases the Dreamlands were....poorly defined. Space and time can be quite subjective in both. I don't recall Gaiman ever mentioning Cthullhu directly. And you are SOMEWHAT wrong about Cthullhu. People forget he was actually quite small in the pecking order compared to Azathoth. Which is a bit like saying a black bear isn't as strong as a Grizzly. it's quite true..but BOTH can kill a human quite handily,. remember that "Great Cthullhu" was defeated by a dude driving a BOAT. Sure, he wasn't killed, but "banished back to Rlyeh until the stars are right again" is a pretty solid defeat in my book. Azathoth is on a whole other level.

What did he Tell you?" _"Delirium?"_ "it's still me." _"But..."_ "If _you're_ going to fall apart, then _one_ of us has to keep this thing going." " *Please* get Up.

[@Initium1000]

Thank you for making this video. TMI story but many years ago when I was in college, I was going through some difficult times. My friends had graduated earlier than me (I was really having a difficult time keeping up even with undergrad classes). I had my heart broken badly and I was extremely depressed (like I wasn’t taking care of myself) which made school that much more difficult. I had years of school ahead of me and I shut down socially. I didn’t go out as my depression was making me unhinged, crazy even. I didn’t date because I had only wanted my ex back and any of the few people I would meet that may of been interested - I just looked at them as a potential source of pain. As time went on I realized as many people in my situation do that you have to change or end your former self in order to live for a better future. I had often (and sometimes still do) think of suicide but an odd coping mechanism for me is that I envision the endless playing a part in my life. The hook of Despair keeping me in a horrible rut, Dreams are a source of hope when I am having an unhinged episode in which I’ve become delirious , Desire is usually what initiates my despair, Destruction is the realization that you need to change yourself in order to rebuild yourself (this would be me exercising to lose weight, bodybuilding, reading a self help book) which ultimately would lead to a better destiny I know that last bit of writing is cringe BUT it worked for me to some degree. As I get older, I forget about my magical thinking and how at one point I lived by the novels. Weird

I don't know what Tilda looked like in the nineties but she'd be perfect. Or Jaye (Crying Game) Davidson. Or both - hear me out. Personally, I'd hire three or four main actors to play aach of the Endless. Like having Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Heath Ledger as early 2000s Dream. Every scene is played by at least two actors. Use CGI to blend their faces and voices uniquely per scene. That way Dream (and his siblings) are slightly amorphous and don't look or sound totally the same from scene to scene. Like in the comic.

[@rickdavis32]

No sounds good but Burton would trash it and take the breath out of the topic,while being busy with his own asthetic. I'd much prefer Terry Gilliam though he would also have to his issues.

Couple points I'd like to make - the focused on "living," for example - all "being" are "equal" to the Endless, with the life of a planet being of no lesser consequence to Death or Despair than that of a newborn or a mad man, and the Desire of a star standing equal to that of a being that lives in orbit of it. We do know that Death will survive Destiny, and be the last of the Endless - The end of everything is encompassed by Death taking her brother's hand. Whether she can, or will, take her own hand afterword, is a marked question, though it does seem likely, once she's put everything else to its final order - once there are no more ends to encompass, Death itself will become meaningless. I wished you'd focused a little more on what it means to "leave their realm" and the implicit chaos this creates, especially as it applied in the story. Given how ungoverned and literal seeking Destruction was...and also what it cost to imprison Dream, and what it might of cost to imprison Death.

More like, clearly you need to check your sources and your definitions. The Endless are meta-conceptual forces that functions as conditions for existence that are as old before time was meassurable and encompass every aspect of reality from every form of beings, other concepts, gods or dimensions. They were around dozens of billions years before humanity was even an idea and your attempt to limit them to human emotions only is quite bizarre, none human can comprehend an Endless, they just experience a side effect of their existence in the way they can. And to the lovecraftian lore, that most lf it's new content is today relased by DC imprunt since years ago, has the lovecraftian outer gods under Dream's domain, which basically he has an aspect that encompass all the dream and wake of Azazoth and all the minds of unconscious horrors.

Destiny is either the strongest or the weakest, either has control over his siblings or has no control yet knows everything :/

[@jonathanprince707]

Is there any significance to all of their names starting with D?

[@UnderXworld666]

The endless are not lovecraftian nor are they gods in nature. However their powers can do feats that are considered lovecraftian.

[@persona8439]

Lovecraftian wise. Delirium seems to be the only one to fit.

[@platinumphazer]

I love when he says Death is hundreds of thousands of years old 😂😂

[@johnb6913]

Absurd Lovecraftian Gods? Absurd perhaps but not Lovecraftian - the Endless are basically human-like, Lovecraftian gods are mostly utterly alien - too see them is to go mad. Good depiction of the Endless despite loose terminology lol.

[@jrreedve2825]

The old lovecraftian gods dream… Morpheus controls those dreams… the Endless are beyond the old gods.

[@strongman5243]

God's will also exist whether you believe in them or not

[@samuelgrant8512]

That Netflix show extremely faithful to the comics? 😂😂

[@cizzlemane6446]

So endless is seven deadly sins? It’s like the same story but I just heard about endless and read up on them and it’s technically the same people just different names

[@walterroche8192]

Informative! I think I'm going to read up on Sandman and the others. Still don't like the choice of actress for Death. If you're gonna pull that PC BS then why not reflect each individuals viewpoint of death!? Multiple actresses for all of her duties. Asians, Europeans, Blacks, etc. I feel that would fit Gaiman work better.

[@joshelderkin9592]

Wheres episode 11!?

[@javierpatag3609]

Gods live and die. The Endless just are.

[@magictricks6235]

Cool

[@ronaldp7573]

The same trope as the Chaos gods from Warhammer.

[@martineldritch]

The Endless aren't Lovecraftian any more than the Great Old Ones are Gaimanic. Still a great synopsis of the Endless, thank you🕸
