Why Neil Gaiman Has George R.R. Martin to Thank for The Sandman | Netflix

[@Femmeaesthetic]

It's nice to see these 2 legends having an interview together, haven't finished the series yet but I enjoyed watching sandman.

[@JoshuaHenelyThornhill]

Legends casually having the nerdiest conversations about how Gwendolyn’s is perfect for both their series. She’s phenomenal and her chemistry with Tom is just perfect !

[@khalilahd.]

I just started watching the series and wow it’s incredible! I absolutely love how mysterious and creepy it is. The storyline is amazing 💜

[@FablesOutofSpace]

Read the graphic novels, they have even more amazing stuff in them...

[@Cellardoor_]

If you liked the show, the graphic novels are better (of course), but there's also an audio play on Audible that's closer to the graphic novels (Dream as James McAvoy, Kat Dennings as Death etc) that's just as good as the show. So if you can't wait for season 2 they actually already did it there.

[@tcrijwanachoudhury]

Creepy? I thought it was beautiful ✨💙

[@siddhanttripathi7943]

Yes it is, although i think cinematography and editing could've Much Much Better

[@volumedealer2716]

You think this show is creepy? Lol. Fuck that's a low bar.

[@zenithquasar9623]

The show is a very very great adaptation. Honestly, even with Gaiman attached, I was worried knowing sometimes these things don't go as intended. But they pulled it off as much as they could!

[@smosmo4617]

This is Gaiman's baby , I was hopeful he wouldn't let production ruin it.He def succeeded. What an amazing show.

[@Deretich]

I love the part about Gwendoline. I hope she felt the same.

[@Cellardoor_]

I'm glad GRRM did that! Talk about blessing in disguise. I've been a fan since the 90's so being here now and seeing this graphic novel FINALLY come to life is such a dream come true - no pun intended.

[@SirGeeSantos]

Wild Cards is amazing too, George! I'm just beginning book 6, but I have read book 8, 9, and 10 out of order already, which made me begin from the first because I loved it so much.

[@alangreenway6695]

Neil wrote the Sandman- a story with Endless. George wrote A Song Of Ice And Fire- a story with less end.

[@sweenej5]

Bravo!

GRRM is not a legend. His series remains unfinished and the show sucked so bad that everyone moved on.

The show was very faithful to the comic as best as it could, which is amazing. Hoping for a season 2.

It's glorious to see Neil smiling amd laughing👍🏽✌🏾🤟🏽❣️I know there's been so much stress of two massive projects and geographical/covid separation from Amanda and Ash, and now he's coming back altogether❣️

The Sandman is my favorite comic series of all time, and this is a very faithful adaptation. While Neil doesn't get the writing credit for each episode, it is like the words from the page just slightly reimagined and reinterpreted, but still very much the same. If they are able to tell the FULL story, things that appeared in this first season will make you go Woah, WTF?! LOL! Enjoy the journey, folx! ~Be Blessed

[@oldboy2399]

Been waiting for a adaption for years, nervous it would get wrecked by Hollywood but I should have known Neil was waiting for the right people to do it and was going to do it right.....I can't wait to see Delirium!

[@skwagwok4097]

This interview is giving me liiiiiife I love them both!!!

[@marilenehodge4636]

This is amazing! Finally something brain stimulating with clever substance on Netflix. Brilliantly written ! I enjoyed the writers vision. The simple fact that I visited 2 different realms and met a suited handsome guy in one. And a divine God in the other. There’s similarities I know in his dreams or meditation travels he awakes up after accessingo Delta etc and wakes up with fresh ideas. Probably wakes up and records himself notes of these inspirations, dreams, visions. Excellent! Thank you.

Gwendolyne is fine. Her as Lucifer was absolutely wrong. The Dynamic was underwhelming. Lost all the drama from the books. The character seemed more like it was concerned with fashion than ruling over Hell.

[@kikepoveda7077]

The Sandman (Netflix) is great, is almost the perfect adaptation, shame about the race and gender swaps decisions but everything else is perfect

[@darkhoursofday6250]

Martin is someone who sets up a great joke... and then botches the punchline. Gaiman is a literary genius who has reinvented multiple genres with intelligence and determination. Big difference. Martin can't finish one story. Gaiman has created multiple universes that have lived, breathed and died at his call.

[@VelcroReacts]

ehh i wouldnt say so.... while i agree that Martin should of finished ASOIAF already... theres also the fact that ASOIAF and the rest of the lore and worldbuilding around it, its much bigger in scale compared to anything that Gaiman has written.... they are completely different writers in that sense

[@chriscueva1866]

To be fair ASOIAF is much more complex, detailed, and thought out than anything Gaiman has written. The closest would be Sandman but even that pales in comparison to the scope of ASOIAF. Also, after Sandman Gaiman would never write anything half as good. That’s not a knock against Gaiman but instead speaks to the brilliance of Sandman.

[@darkhoursofday6250]

@@VelcroReacts American Gods would beg to differ. It's just a taste thing. I loved SOIAF when it started but the books sorta dragged and for me it's clear that even Martin got bored by them towards the (non) end.

[@darkhoursofday6250]

@@chriscueva1866 Sincerely disagree about the lack of further good work. One thing I love about Gaiman is the different epic nature of his work. From Coraline to American Gods, there is depth. Martin... sorry to say it since I started out loving his work... comes off for me as trying his best to imitate Tolkien with a few really good ideas that lacked the power to hold even his interest to complete the series. Just my opinion, but I feel that Gaiman's work will be remembers much more fondly in 100 years. I may be wrong.

[@VelcroReacts]

@@darkhoursofday6250 Again i have to respectfully disagree, American Gods is a book that i love and also extremely sad that the series got cancelled, But American Gods is an isolated world of 500 pages maybe? That's not even 1 book of ASOIAF, Plus not saying that martin doesnt pull from other sources because i think every writer kind of does... but gaiman pulls a lot from mythology which is not a bad thing at all dont get me wrong but it´s not like he´s creating everything
