What I like about Dream's entire concept & character is that his punishments is worst than death itself. Taking away dreams forever or giving eternal nightmares or forbidding them from sleeping..every single one is enough to drive a person to madness. Punishments that only he could give. Love it.
the only thing I hate about Dream is that he sometimes punishes people who don't deserve it. His former Nada lover was sent to hell, it took him to reflect on himself to actually free her.
I love the punishment he deals out to the psychos. Not a moments rest for your cruelty and evil deeds, and even the little lies to themselves "I'm justified in doing this." taken away and exposed as filthy little lies. I love it. He doesn't slaughter them, or ask his siblings to torment them, but takes their dreams and makes them their hell. Perfection.
@@fanghur Probably not. But that's the point, they were turned from predators to pray. The people they were are the predator tormenting them now, making them the eternal target of themselves.
@@JMS-2111I just find the idea of punishing a psychopath by effectively granting them empathy and compassion to be very morally dubious. Their lack of those things (through absolutely no fault of their own) was the very reason they acted as they did in the first place. Granting them empathy as a means to reforming them and allowing them to become better people is one thing, but doing it purely to psychologically torture them is in my opinion just as immoral as they used to be.
His judgment for them to feel all the guilt and pain to THE END OF TIME. Not even the end of life. So even after dying, if time continues to have meaning for the dead, they will continue to feel it
The way in how Dream deals with the collectors, remaining clam, centered, no epic battles, but bestowing a conscience on them all. Literally feeling the pain of their victims with that of their loved ones, not just knowing but *TRULY* knowing that their evilness could not go away unpunished, with finally being able to feel bad about it they never did before. Dream truly is a bad ass god. Corinthian original purpose was to make humanity afraid of their inner evilness so they don't become it, thereby lessening serial killers, perverts, terrorists etc. in the world. He'll b back but better in staying true to that design.
Guy is Outerversal and can send them to their worst nightmares for all eternity without blinking, they got off easy or they might be gifted as lucifer’s playthings
Okay, I’m convinced. I first read the Sandman when I was in college (‘91) and it has remained my favourite comic book series ever since, with the single notable exception of Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl! I was convinced no adaptation could ever do it justice but this breathtaking…I am so sold on it!
I'm pretty sure Corinthian is the best design in DC history, he's like a mythology creature, like Medusa, a character that with simplicity can transcend generations with his appearance only
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="113">1:53</a> Oh, if only this will was possible against psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists. The power to make them feel accountable for the wrongs they've done, to make them feel all the pain and loss they've brought upon others. That they will never be able to rid themselves of the guilt they should feel.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a> He has tears in his eyes/teeth because he knows his days as the Corinthian (devil-may-care, carefree) are over
The punishment is just what I always hoped people like that would get! He took away their self delusion and made them see exactly who and what they are!! No more fooling themselves into thinking what they were doing was good. And not being able to forget it for a moment. 😱😱😱💀💀💀
This reminds me of that Doctor Who episode: The Family of Blood. Where it turned out at the end that he avoided the family because he was being kind and at the end, he granted their wish for immortality in horrible ways but as the brother said: "He never raised his voice. That was the worst part." Morpheus gave them a horrible punishment for their choices but it was all done calmly. Just them living the life they had until now but it's no longer a dream. How dare they even call their deeds a dream? It's the ugly reality of who they actually are and what they did and now without the ability to hide behind the facade that it's what they dream of, they face it.
His curse is marvelous. For these killers and rapists, the actions had been justified by there own delusions. And fantasies. It made them feel special if not justified in their lives. But fantasies are born from dreams, and lies only work on yourselves if you can imagine a reality in which its truth. Now they live in a world of reality. No more dreams, filled with lies and fantasy. Just cold truth and they have to live knowing how monsterous they became
Their punishment is even worse since we know now that Hell is real in this universe. Every and each one of them is going there, sooner or later. Much sooner, actually, I'm pretty sure.
@@juanmanuelmoramontes3883it's stated in Sandman and also the spin off Lucifer comic that the inhabitants of hell are essentially only there because of their belief that they deserve punishment. If they were able to actually forgive themselves they would no longer be there.
@@Chevalier_knight i felt it was more of a segway into that story about the friendship between Dream and the immortal man. But if it bothered you that much, yeah I can see her presence being potentially perturbing during the first 2/3rds of that episode. It didn’t bother me, but it can definitely be seen as a major miscast that would bother many. i enjoyed the casting for lots of characters so it sort of slipped past me
@@arthursouza9641 that is your opinion, personally I found them boring, and basically making dream a side character in his own series. Like I said, after episode 5 it went downhill in my opinion.
@@jcfra420 Like the comics, dumb. In various sandman stories, Sandman / dream is a side character, inclusive in the arcs adapted in first season. The show it´s only faithful.
@@arthursouza9641 Aww is little Arthur triggered? Sorry I interacted with you once in good faith, but anyone that cannot make a counterpoint without insulting like a little child is someone I do not take seriously. Thanks for playing though.
You’re criticizing Neil Gaiman for being woke? Have you READ a Neil Gaiman comic? Dude had trans protagonists in the 90s. I’m sure he won’t care if bigoted idiots like you get butthurt about his show. Talk about cringe, you are the embodiment of the word.
