    Death's Character is not "she's a white goth girl". That's just something she occasionally looks like. It has nothing to do with her character.
    she is not, but that is something she almost all the time looks like, people will still look for fidelity or a version they are more found off/they know more, i bet people would complain the same, or even more if they make death as a man, despise death showing up as a man before.

    in the end people want to see fidelity and/or something they are familiar with it regardless, when they adapt those things, because it is easy to make a contact/connection and majority knows about that version(one of the reasons many people, and myself would prefer john stewart as green lantern in the movies, because the animation), some obscure or "secret" versions, that appear rarely (not saying this is the case) will not gather many people

    Thats why i said it would be better to me, to start with the one majority knows, and change it later, be on later episodes or in another season, but i not neil gaiman, im just saying what i think. is a good way to not cause unnecessary ruckus and gather media.

    Ah...I'm posting just assuming people know the comics...my fault..

    Death in the comics almost exclusively appears as a teenager, not as a woman. While Death at times is her own persona, much is as the teenage girl Didi n her teenage adventures, she embodies punk/metal genre, she even brings up issues like aids, which wasn't talked much about back in the day to young people..(honestly it almost never gets mentioned nowadays now that I think about it..

    Endus...says Dream is shown in different appearances, but he doesn't mention how often n it is telling that he says he trusts the author rather than relying on a larger body of work... He could talk about the most common appearances of the characters n the stories that come with them, but no...

    Death is the most popular character in the sandman franchise, her stuff has been collected into an absolute edition book (absolute is basically Tintin sized comic books with hardcover) so instead of arguing about different appearances lets just browse through it n see how his arguments hold up..


    What story is going to be used for the unexpected version of Death for this show? Make it all up? The actress in this show is not a teenager, she should have done this role in 2001, not 2021...is she supposed to play as a teenager black Death? I don't know your age, but I am not a teenager n certainly have put on more weight, which is very common as one grows older, harder to maintain weight. One generally was a lot skinnier...I could go through snacks like a lawn mover n not gain any weight.
    Aren't there any young black actresses that could have filled the role? This isn't a voice acting role..or she will play an adult role? That's like a brand new character..

    My main point, well, if one wants to do different versions, how fair is that one is in the comics and the other live-action show? Will comics teen Death be in a movie? No? This would be like, and I thought of an example, this would be like the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's praised movie Yojimbo's samuraii story had only appeared in a comic, not as a film and but years later it instead appears as a movie, not samuraii but a cowboy movie by italian director Sergio Leone, "a fistful of dollars"
    While that Clint Eastwood movie is pure awesome, the world would still be poorer if only one version of the story was filmed, instead of two. Sure, leone's movie relied heavily on yojimbo, but the point is still it's messed up to derail a version of the story that has been known for decades.

    Some here can pretend all they want that they are fine that we don't get to see it, sad they are lying to themselves..

    Here is a side-by-side look at the respective births of the "super-samurai" action movie genre and the spaghetti western genre.
    "Yojimbo" (1961). Dir. by Akira Kurosawa
    "Fistful of Dollars" (1964) Dir. by Sergio Leone

    Film historian Stephen Prince and Flavorwire film editor Jason Bailey talk Kurosawa at the Tallgrass Film Festival.

    And just as Leone was struck by the parallels in Kurosawa’s film, Kurosawa was struck by the parallels in Leone’s. “Y’know, Kurosawa did see Fistful,” Prince said, “and he liked it, just like he liked The Magnificent Seven. But in the case of Fistful, it was an infringement. So Toho (Kurosawa’s studio) sued Leone, and Kurosawa sent a letter, and Leone was very pleased to get it; the letter said, ‘I’ve seen your movie. It’s a very good movie. Unfortunately, it’s my movie.'”

    Aside from Fistful, Yojimbo was also reworked in 1996 by director Walter Hill, who adapted it into an American bootlegger story with Bruce Willis called Last Man Standing

    Death is not a teenager. She's nearly as old as the universe itself. She is Dreams older sister. It always was "an adult role". What she appeared as is immaterial.

    Once again you are taking the position that the the physical appearance of a character is the only important trait of the character. Which is silly even when the character cannot appear in any form she chooses.

    It is, as I have said before, like saying Hugh Jackman cannot be Wolverine because he is too tall.

    Because it's irrelevant. We know that the incarnations of the Endless are based on the perception of the observer. That's shown directly in the comics. What Death was represented as there fundamentally doesn't matter to the concept which she incarnates, and it's pretty clear she hasn't always looked that way.

    Also, strongly disagree that Death is presented as a "teenager". 18 or 19, or anywhere in her 20s, maybe. She's pretty clearly an adult. The only one who presents as a teenager consistently in the comics is Delirium.

    Death is the most popular character in the sandman franchise, her stuff has been collected into an absolute edition book (absolute is basically Tintin sized comic books with hardcover) so instead of arguing about different appearances lets just browse through it n see how his arguments hold up..
    Why would that contradict anything I've said?

    What story is going to be used for the unexpected version of Death for this show? Make it all up? The actress in this show is not a teenager, she should have done this role in 2001, not 2021...is she supposed to play as a teenager black Death?
    Since we've already been over how Death is not a "teenager", I fail to see how her being black affects the character in any meaningful sense.

    I don't know your age, but I am not a teenager n certainly have put on more weight, which is very common as one grows older, harder to maintain weight. One generally was a lot skinnier...I could go through snacks like a lawn mover n not gain any weight.

    In what way?

    Your entire argument here boils down to race-baiting and fat-shaming, over factors that in no way would inform or affect the character. Arguing against the author, I might add.

    Let's also recall that Death is not just "not a teenager", but is actually billions of years old. She's existed since shortly after life first emerged in the Universe. Which is kind of why insisting she has to always look like a white teenage skinny goth girl is bananas. You're telling me she looked like that when our ancestors still hadn't worked out what a backbone was for?

    My main point, well, if one wants to do different versions, how fair is that one is in the comics and the other live-action show?
    It does not affect them in any way whatsoever. Why would it?

    I did say she appears different n acts different. As Didi, that's a teen role, not adult. Death can be many kinds of roles, even in same scenes. So yes it matters that she acts like teen Didi with her teen friend Sexton for example. I thought that would be obvious.

    It is, as I have said before, like saying Hugh Jackman cannot be Wolverine because he is too tall.
    I admit I haven't followed this...hugh jackman take...but I feel it changes nothing with his height. But if Logan was a teen, it would change how the story would play out.
    Didi is a lot confused while being Death, and being the human dead girl Didi at the same time. It's intertwined. But a young Logan would be different story, he would be put in the kid team by prof X n hang out with kitty pryde n the other kids n have different experiences n stories.

    What age-group characters are put in, do matter, regardless of how timeless one could be.

    This isn't the story of Death's one day as a living person. This is Dream's story. "Didi" doesn't enter into it.

    And Didi is just one single aspect of the character...not the character itself.

    The point of the story is that, once every hundred years, Death spends a single day as a living person...so she can experience life and death. What age she is is not the important part. What's important is that she understands what it feels like when a life ends.

    I mean, you're pushing this agenda that the only "true" version of the character is the aspect that she portrayed for 1 single day over a "lifetime" of billions of years.

    the book isn't just about didi, that was one example, there's historical examples too, that were in the book, n her as Death talking to Dream, like when he first comes back after breaking free, and it's not as Didi even though looks like her. Death even interacts with herself as Death that looks like Didi and Didi that is Death. It's weird. but point is, which u guys keep trying to avoid, is there isn't an infinite amount portrayals in the books, n those few in the books are sometimes very brief. We are talking about those that have been given room to be portrayed at length, do warrant live-action.

    Even when Death is being Death, while happening to look like Didi, n not being Didi at all, she still have people insert the punk/metal take on that version. It's a thread that keeps going through her different but similar versions of herself.

    This is why i brought up Yojimbo n Fistful of dollars. Each portrayal were given their place in the sun, live action movie.
    Both Sanjuro Kuwabatake & The man with no Name
    Both are adults, share the same story, but told differently n similarly, the difference is in portrayal. You can tell the same story a million times n always it will be different.

    Can't take people serious that defend torpedoing a portrayal, they themselves expected would happen prior to the casting.

    hell, if the writer tomorrow says he'll make it into a manga, that will be different portrayal.

    Doesn't change that one portrayal is responsible for him even having a career n this is how he treats his fans that put him where he is? Guy should go work for lucasfilm.

    And? Nothing in the comics speaks against this characterization. That's entirely in your head.

    Even when Death is being Death, while happening to look like Didi, n not being Didi at all, she still have people insert the punk/metal take on that version. It's a thread that keeps going through her different but similar versions of herself.
    She's still got a goth look, here. Big chunky boots, black jeans and shirt, what I assume is a big silver ankh necklace.

    Your issue is just that the actress is black.

    Doesn't change that one portrayal is responsible for him even having a career n this is how he treats his fans that put him where he is? Guy should go work for lucasfilm.
    The character Death is not what made Gaiman's career. That's a flatly ridiculous statement.

    And don't pretend you respect the author or his work, since you're here disparaging both.

    This is like arguing Sanjuro would seem believable walking into san miguel or the man with no name walking into the japanese town..

    99.9999999999999999999% poc don't care at all about goth/punk/metal, poc will just see some dark outfit n think nothing of it, and not associate with it nor give it the meaning the Didi-looking Death gave readers. But you don't care about any of that, it's obvious with all the deflections n excuses. and lol I don't care about the work when I'm defending it? while you are defending portrayals nobody has even seen n try to pass it off as the same thing, with nothing to show for your defense "I trust him! just because! how dare you not trust something you have not even seen?" well, that is the answer right there. And even if it's good, my main point still stands, a fistful of dollars never made me say "that different take was good, that means yojimbo didn't need to have been made!"

    Most of his fans are absolutely fine with how he "treats his fans". We aren't overly concerned that a character that can choose to look like whatever she wants to look like is not an exact copy of how the character is sometimes depicted. The character herself hates that people think she should look and act in a certain way.



    Death is a supporting character in the books. The books are about Morpheus. That's what "made his career". Death didn't even appear until 8 issues in...and even then it was only in the last pages.

    u shouldn't post pictures of death changing from one goth look to another goth look n say you have a point. I don't go around complaining she should have a hat on all the time. It's irrelevant as well, it's about how she has been basically portrayed that should reflected on live action.

    oh gee, I wonder why I wrote sandman n not death in the title of the thread, now I know, thx! I said she had 1 absolute book version, 1 out of many in the sandman franchise, those are kinda hard to miss in any comic book store, big black volumes (together with the hellboy ones). As for dream, he looks recognizable from the comic, I know the writer didn't change all the portrayals to unrecognizable and I don't buy his excuses or will ever trust him by rudely dismissing fans.

    Absolutely no one is saying the comics should never have been made.
    Comics aren't comparable to live action. That is a step up, and not given to the portrayal we all expected n deserved to see on the screen. That is disrespectful.

    She's got a goth look in the TV series too...so... I guess showing her having differnt goth looks kinda makes my point.

    This is what you said:

    So, were you or were you not talking about Death?

    I know the writer didn't change all the portrayals to unrecognizable and I don't buy his excuses or will ever trust him by rudely dismissing fans.
    He never rudely dismissed his fans. His "fans" rudely told him that he didn't give a shit about his work and he responded accordingly.

    One must accept that all film adaptations of comics, stories or novels will only ever be adaptations. Being faithful to the source material is not the goal of an adaptation, and shouldn't really be a factor in the enjoyment of an adaptation.

    Game of Thrones completely fucked up the literal Dragons of the series. They're not dragons at all, they're wyverns. Not 4-legged beasts with wings, just 2-legged. Yet it doesn't get in the way of enjoying an adaptation unless you choose to have it affect your enjoyment of it. It's not in the interest of the show creators to have everything be 1:1 faithfully recreated, because the TV show is and always would be just an adaptation.

    I mean, this is just prejudice. There's no argument here. You're telling people a black character can't be goth because she's black and goth is, to you, a white thing.

    That's prejudiced garbage and has no basis in fact.

    But you don't care about any of that, it's obvious with all the deflections n excuses. and lol I don't care about the work when I'm defending it? while you are defending portrayals nobody has even seen n try to pass it off as the same thing, with nothing to show for your defense "I trust him! just because! how dare you not trust something you have not even seen?" well, that is the answer right there.

    To be clear; I'm ignoring your comparison of samurai films and westerns because that's about loose genre tropes in the first place, and your position on them directly contradicts the conclusion you draw from it anyway.

    Your position is like condemning Fistful of Dollars because Clint Eastwood isn't Japanese. Which is why your argument here is baffling.

    You apparently missed that there are three looks for Death in that page, and the first of them is decidedly not "goth" in any sense of the word. The one in the painting, with the hat. Not goth in the least. I'm not a fashion historian, but it looks like it's from somewhen in the late 19th/early 20th, and that's just pretty standard dress for the era.

    I know the writer didn't change all the portrayals to unrecognizable and I don't buy his excuses or will ever trust him by rudely dismissing fans.
    What "excuses"? He hasn't made any excuses.

    And the only people he's "dismissed" are racists.

    Comics aren't comparable to live action. That is a step up, and not given to the portrayal we all expected n deserved to see on the screen. That is disrespectful.
    Literally the only way to see this as "disrespectful" is if you think a black actress playing the character is itself a step down, which means you're basing this on a racist attitude.

    The original author is entirely supportive of the casting, based on her audition. Racist fans who demand a white actress are not in any way "owed" the author's subservience on that issue.

    As Gaiman has said; your protests and whines are empty, as you are only complaining about her skin color, and not her ability to portray the character's personality.

    This is off-topic, but this taxonomy of dragons is completely ahistorical in terms of how the words have been used; it's something invented wholesale by a handful of fantasy authors and fans in just the last few decades.

    Do a quick Google image search for "Saint George and the Dragon"; it's a hugely popular story from the medieval era, and there are a lot of images from that time depicting the struggle. A lot have four legs. Some have two. Some have none, and the dragon's serpentine. They're all "dragons".

    I said one needs to be believable in a role..ok here's an example, Leonardo Dicaprio



    Could Dicaprio when he played in The Beach or Gilbert Grape have been right also for the roles in The wolf of wall street? or Once upon a time in hollywood?
    Also could current day Dicaprio be in the Beach? I'm not talking about anorexia, I simply mean you put on bulk as you age and your face changes to be less child-like.
    Nobody will think the actress for Death will look like a teen. If I had been asked what role she would play in the series if I didn't know, it would this woman, mrs. Robbins

    That has more to do with cgi cost, 4 legs is way more animation involved. This is why the budget increases in the later seasons when show has picked up a large audience n is low in the first ones cuz it just got started. We didn't even get to see battles in first seasons, like when the Starks captured Jaimie Lannister, or when Tyrion was going into battle with the 'Wildlings' n his father's army, we see him getting knocked out n the aftermath

    You started with "She should be white"

    When you got called on that you switched to

    "She should be Goth"

    Now you're trying to lean on "She should be a teen"

    We all understand your problem.

    TV adaptations of existing works need to not try and subvert expectations of what people know about the franchise. Admittey I've never read the Endless comics so I'm not familiar with the works, so it'll be interesting to see how this show plays out. Hopefully it's actually good and doesn't stray too far from the source material for ideas, whereas shows like Lovecraft Country basically used nothing relating to Lovecraft's cosmic horror genre and it bombed because of it, to the point where it got cancelled after one season. Hollywood is straying into niche parts of nerd culture and they need to stick to making a good show here for it to survive.

    i entirely disagree with that, being faithful partake A HUGE role in the adaption and to the enjoyment of people watching. Of course they can't be 100% faithful, but that should be the goal.

    One of the reasons lord of the rings and harry potter made a huge success is because they tried to be as faithful they could to the books, in other hand, things like Eragon and Percy jackson sucked ass and their tentative of adaptation ruined the opportunity to a series of movies.

    Game of Thrones completely fucked up the literal Dragons of the series. They're not dragons at all, they're wyverns. Not 4-legged beasts with wings, just 2-legged. Yet it doesn't get in the way of enjoying an adaptation unless you choose to have it affect your enjoyment of it. It's not in the interest of the show creators to have everything be 1:1 faithfully recreated, because the TV show is and always would be just an adaptation.
    Being offtopic here but, Wyverns are dragons.

    One of the modern things is how people want to claim what is a dragon what is not(kinda weird wanting to claim wyverns aren't dragon because one less pair of legs, while chinese-japanese dragons get a free pass even when they don't look at all like the 4-legged ones) Dragons are a thing in many different cultures and every one of then have their own name/terminology, but what they agree is how dragons are just reptile monsters.

    Wyvern means viper/vipera, basically a venomous snake and dragon draco/draconen is just huge snake
