I look at the production and think it's a bit off. Maybe my expectations are too high, I just sometimes worry that Netflix has a high quality CW vibe to it to their shows. Because it's so "magical" I'm not sure how that translates on screen, whereas paper, imagination bridged that gap from words/paper to how I visualized it. I hope that made sense I respect the concerns as a fan. We'll know very soon. August 5th is next Friday. Amazing we are that deep into 2022 now.

I hope that made sense For us as fan's of the books, it's all about tone. The tone has always been melancholy, depressed, austere, the 7 were never portrayed as "gods", or "immortals", they carried burdens. I'm wondering if any studio would embrace that these days. This hyper allegiance to good vs bad view of the world, kinda destroy's any good story telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenosmilus Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Can I get the "elevator speech" on this? i.e. is the casting good and does it sound like it will be accurate to the comics? I have not read them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaiman is endorsing everything and is producer and apparently involved. the casting follows the spirit of the book although not the literal look in some cases so of course that can get some people in a tizzy. I like it and am very excited about it, it looks well done. In the comics Dream is one of 7 siblings but only 4 are in this series I think. At least this season.

And they can easily swap out actors for subsequent series, if required. I might be guilty of having to strong idea of what the show should convey, but the proof of the current casting will be seen soon enough. The two big characters that have to work, and Dream, and Death. Dream does look good, albeit a bit too good looking for my liking, but his acting abilities will be 90% of the game.

People have been proclaiming in this thread how they are concerned if this will honor the source material. Indicators from Neil Gaiman with little reveals so far is it will.
