So read it last

#

sandman 45 || Deliruim is so cool and works so well with dream ||

dim hedge
#

Alright thanks

crimson lance
#

Do you knwo the rest of the book order?

dim hedge
#

I know sword of destiny is next and i think the other books are numbered on the spine

white smelt
#

The ending to Sandman is something that had stayed with me since I first read it. Hope you like it.

crimson lance
#

yeah they are buri you got it

#

sandman 45

white smelt
#

Sandman ||Matthew is great. One of my favorite characters.||

crimson lance
#

Sandman 45 has some really cool art but it has alot of nudity so i cant share any of it

#

Sandman 45 || The strip club chapter with the cool shading of people and the dancing goddess. ||

#

#

sandman 46 || Delirum has the coolest looking realm so far. Dream has a good one because of the concept behind it but Delirums is far nicer looking ||

crimson lance

sandman 48

crimson lance
#

Sandman 49 || I finished the finding destruction arc, pretty good. I liked delirum and dream just interacting with each other, not sure what destruction was on about but he seems cool. ||

white smelt
#

I respect it

#

dont worry

modern lichen
#

its fine to rate stuff out of 100

#

dont mind them

white smelt
#

my favorite scale is popcorns

modern lichen
#

hm

#

that works

white smelt
#

🍿 🍿 🍿

modern lichen
#

5 popcorns out of 5

crimson lance
#

The ideal scale is writing out which chacracters you like one by one and saying nothing else

white smelt
#

Drive is definitely
🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍺

modern lichen
#

are you at issue 50 of the sandman now will? around there?

crimson lance
#

50 exactly

#

im stopping for the day since the previous arc ended

white smelt
#

what's happening so far?

modern lichen
#

ah ok ok

#

good

crimson lance
#

if you scroll up youll see its the || Arc about Delirum and Dream hunting down their brother destruction ||

#

Sandman 50

white smelt
#

Oh okay

crimson lance
#

I think chapter 50 is a one off chapter, i havent read it yet

white smelt
#

I think you're in the home stretch. I'm not sure if the next arc is the one I'm thinking of

#

but dont wanna spoil you

crimson lance
#

sandman 50

#

25 chapters left

#

like, 4 days maybe?

modern lichen
#

wanze, sandman 50+ ||the inn at the end of the world||

crimson lance
#

I finally cracked and starting saving sandman art on my computer

modern lichen
#

i won

crimson lance
#

sandman 50

#

this was the page that broke me

#

after this i went back and looked at all the other sandman art i posted, and saved the best ones

#

but now i missed 50 chapters worth of art so thats upsetting

modern lichen
#

sandman 50 ||such amazing dialogue and spread||

white smelt
#

||When does the Hippolyta stuff start? It's when you kinda feel the finality. Corinthian is really cool there|| Harsh, sandman ending

#

do not click will

crimson lance
#

Sandman 50 || The zoom i was at, i couldnt see the bottom half at first, so i thought it was just some boring stars, but i scrolled down and saw the house and people and god damn its good looking ||

modern lichen
#

wanze sandman 60+ ||right after the inn at the end of the world and those series of short stories there||

white smelt
#

oh ok

crimson lance
#

You both finished so why not just label it "sand man ending"

#

makes me less likley to click by accident

modern lichen
#

oh my bad

crimson lance
#

I havent clicked, dont worry

#

but i nearly did your first message

modern lichen
#

will keep that in mind further tho

crimson lance
#

Ill come back for these messages when i finish and find out what you said

modern lichen
#

sure

crimson lance
#

Is there just one artist for the majority of sandman?

modern lichen
#

no

#

different artists

white smelt
#

the downfall of western comics

crimson lance
#

Know anny comics with similar styles

#

cause i truly love this art

white smelt
#

which art in particular?

modern lichen
#

sandman is truly varied in that sense

#

because it has a whole load of different artists

crimson lance
#

The character design but also just everything

modern lichen
#

hm

crimson lance
#

sandman 50

#

like this is peak character design, just a guy with really pale skin and normal clothes

modern lichen
#

@crimson lance check this list

crimson lance
#

Yeah i saw that

modern lichen
#

sandman 50 ||dream's design is so good, so are the other endless, their design tells us about them||

white smelt
#

Sandman ||I love his helmet and ruby he had in the beginning. Looks so alien.||

crimson lance
#

Sandman 50 || Despairs design i dont really get, she;'s just a short fan naked woman, i dont get how that represents despair. Death is also just kinda like a female dream. But delirum and desire have good designs ||

#

|| I like deaths design btw, its just doesn't really tell me alot about her. Not like desires or Delirums || sandman 50

modern lichen
#

sandman 50 ||death's design contrary to every single depiction of death as a cheery goth girl is so cool||

crimson lance
#

Sandman 50 || When death first appeared, i thought it was a randoml girl trying to flirt with dream because she thought he looked hot and dressed like her ||

dire lichen
#

Watched Egger's The Witch

#

not as good as The Lighthouse but still greatness

#

very very excited for his next film

white smelt
#

hell yeah

dire lichen
#

i want him to do other stuff but i would fine with him just doing similar horror stuff

#

could quite easily become one of my favourite directors

modern lichen
#

the lighthouse is monumentally better as a film

#

pretty fucking innovative production wise as well

dire lichen
#

oh yeah the gap is quite large

white smelt
#

He's supposed to be working on a nosferatu movie which is really exciting

#

after the viking one he's doing next

dire lichen
#

a medieval epic called the knight too

white smelt
crimson lance
#

Dont you mean The VVitch

white smelt
#

VVilliam

#

marvel infinity war/endgame || do we know what happens if an infinity stone is destroyed? Technically, it should spawn somewhere else, right? as they are the cornerstone of the universe ||

sage sleet
#

||thanos used the last of its power to destroy them iirc but then there's the shit with loki and all those infinity stones so idk|| endgame and loki spoils

#

god i can't believe treasure planet is a thing

#

i'd kill fitty men for a sequel

#

how tf we get frozen and not more gold like this

willow goblet
sage remnant
#

yeah, I haven't watch them recently too but it occurred to me

willow goblet
#

I feel like I have to rewatch all the avengers.

sage remnant
#

|| cornerstone of the universe being destroyed. wouldn't that put that universe in danger? || iw and eg

modern lichen
#

infinity war/endgame ||the stone is gone, the universe will still function||

#

infinity war/endgame ||like literally, thanos got killed for destroying the stones and the universe still functioned||

sage sleet
#

||makes me wonder how loki and those stones from all the timelines is gonna work if at all. kinda hope we don't see the stones again but the little ik about dr doom ik he wants them mf stones|| end game loki spoils ig

mellow yarrow
#

a fear street ||they couldve at least made the masks cooler smfh||

dim hedge
#

The last wish || voice of reason 5 was really good loved geralt and dandelion talking ||

dim hedge
#

So from recommendations here and hearing amazing review I’ve wanted to get into The Stormlight Archive but after looking online to buy it i see like 3 different editions and don’t know what the hell to buy

modern lichen
#

Get the hardcovers

dim hedge
#

brave orbit
#

Was like 26 euros for me lol

dim hedge
#

Thos are some mighty thick books

brave orbit
#

Indeed

#

Im on book 2

dim hedge
#

I also heard the series was on going and the latest one was released last year

brave orbit
#

Yea

#

He is starting book 5 on january

#

Releasing 2023

dim hedge
#

Oh nice

outer tulip
#

Manifest on Netflix || so I just finished season 3 of the show and I thought it was just okay. Seasons 1 and 2 on netflix were very good but season 3 added too much to the mystery and kind of displaced all the progress we were making (similar to Lost). Not surprised it got cancelled tbh ||

umbral smelt
#

Where can I watch loki in good quality online

modern lichen
#

123movies

sage remnant
#

give the domain too I guess harsh. there might be some unsafe 123movies clones too

lusty wagon
umbral smelt
lusty wagon
#

np

fluid merlin
#

Fmovies . App is better

sage remnant
#

yeah that one I checked and was good

lusty wagon
#

theres an app?

sage remnant
#

no

#

the site is that

lusty wagon
#

oh LOL

sage remnant
#

there was a pirated app for tv shows and live tv in India but the creator was arrested like 2 days ago

lusty wagon
#

oof

umbral smelt
#

lol loki is so good

sage remnant
lusty wagon
#

it is

sage remnant
#

the only thing that's not good is Black Widow

lusty wagon
copper phoenix
#

lack widow

sage remnant
#

the movie was good, but should have been before or smth

copper phoenix
#

before what

sage remnant
#

before endgame ig

#

idk

#

this didn't seem a right time for her movie

lusty wagon
#

||wouldve been great if it came out after civil war imo|| bw

sage remnant
#

hmm maybe

#

like, If I watch this movie during that time or around that, I would have liked it better maybe

lusty wagon
#

||wdym maybe it literally happened after those events||

sage remnant
#

?

lusty wagon
#

did u not watch the movie...

sage remnant
#

oh

#

yeah yeah

#

which movie was after civil war tho?

#

in chronological order of release?

#

dr strange

lusty wagon
#

stone lmao

sage remnant
#

have been talking in that server the whole time so automatic action

sage remnant
lusty wagon
#

ya dr. strange came out after civil war

#

then guardians of the galaxy 2, Spider man homecoming

sage remnant
#

yeah. would have fitted right there

#

not only in terms of the events

#

but also the hypedness/quality of the movie I guess

#

but idk really...

lusty wagon
#

||ya but the post credit scene wouldnt have made sense|| bw

sage remnant
#

|| are you really weighing post credit scene against an entire movie|| bw

lusty wagon
#

LOL

#

||not rlly but the movie was meant to be an introduction of new character to join the roster later on. I find it dumb as well that her movie was delayed that long|| bw

#

kevin feige really went nah it can wait

sage remnant
#

yeah but for me it didn't pack the enough punch

#

like we had series like Loki and wandavision before it

lusty wagon
#

ya true, they kept pushing it back so ppl could watch it in theatres

umbral smelt
lusty wagon
#

but are you comparing a series to a movie?

sage remnant
#

nah

#

its that

#

the quality of media... Idk what to say it exactly

#

also gonna be back after a discussion in other series

modern lichen
sage remnant
#

hmm... maybe

modern lichen
#

even so, loki has packed enough punch

#

its the most groundbreaking marvel property since endgame

#

it moved the MCU into phase 4 proper

sage remnant
#

I was talking about Black Widow harsh...

#

Loki and WV both had packed enough punch 👀

modern lichen
#

BW yeah

#

not much there

#

its a prequel

#

its a fun movie

lusty wagon
sage remnant
#

I mean, if we had gotten the movie immediately after Civil war, given how the movies after that was only Dr Strange and GotG. it would have fitted there

modern lichen
#

honestly, done with marvel for a bit now

sage remnant
#

for the punch too

lusty wagon
#

same I need a marvel break

modern lichen
#

i'm gonna stave off of MCU until dr strange 2

sage remnant
#

no What if?

modern lichen
#

nah, i'm just tired of marvel

sage remnant
#

ah

lusty wagon
#

hawkeye coming out late 2021 EYesbutoncrack

modern lichen
#

oh yeah

copper phoenix
#

dr strange hype

dim hedge
#

What if starting in August

feral kettle
#

oh yeah

outer tulip
modern lichen
#

no

white smelt
#

I mean yeah what other marvel is there before strange? Lol

#

You won't miss much

modern lichen
#

no way home i guess

#

but still

#

i'm just gonna stave off MCU until then at least

brave orbit
#

@dim hedge let us know when it arrives and you start reading

dim hedge
#

Will do

dim hedge
#

I’ll try to get it sometime next month

#

I just finished WandaVision and Loki on Disney+

dim hedge
#

What did you think

hoary hawk
#

u a fan?

fading cedar
#

WandaVision ||Just my new favorite MCU character now. I liked her before, but now I love her so much, and I have a soft spot for Elizabeth Olsen too. This show was so absolutely fucking great, the effects were spot on and just as good as the MCU gets on the big screen, the plot was great, the acting was 10/10 even for the kids, and the characterization and characters included came out to make a great story. I hope it gets a second season of some kind, but I'm pretty sure it's just a one season micro series||

#

Loki ||Also fantastic, but not as good as WandaVision. Totally hilarious, I laughed my ass off often, the twists were all pretty good, the cast was also picked fairly well. I dunno about the ultimate villain, but this was a good set up for phase 4 of the MCU. Marvel totally upped the ante on this one, the person they're bringing in is going to be significantly more powerful than his comic book counterpart I'm totally sure. The fight choreography in this show was almost complete garbage but still fun.||

#

WandaVision ||Also I kept arguing it for years, but now it's just official, Wanda's the most powerful entity in the MCU short of Ego or Dormammu now.||

glacial jetty
#

Glad you liked WandaVision so much

dim hedge
#

Yeah

hoary hawk
#

yea

copper phoenix
#

wandavision pog

#

wanda is by far the character I'm most interested in this new phase

lusty wagon
#

same

outer tulip
#

I’m glad people love WV here.. for real cause ppl be hating on it

lusty wagon
#

fr?

#

how could they hate wandavision ?

outer tulip
#

They didn’t like the ending and stuff but I loved it

mellow yarrow
#

the second part of fear street was cool

#

honestly netflix did a good job

outer tulip
#

Fear street?

mellow yarrow
outer tulip
#

Ok lol.. no I just haven’t heard of it so was curious

barren temple
#

Yeah wv is peak mcu for me

#

I might watch that fear street stuff. I've been thinking of getting into scary stuff lately

#

One of my friends just gasped at me when I said I've never seen the conjuring movies so lol

stone wharf
#

wandavision was rlly good

#

all of the mcu shows have been good'

#

but loki takes the cake

outer tulip
#

I didn’t like the recent conjuring but I thought it was cool they made a universe out of it. The new Annabelle I thought was pretty scary

barren temple
#

See I just get apprehensive because I know I'm not gonna get scared or anything so it's all about the story for me and I'm always worried a movies gonna try to be scary without substance

#

But my friends a big movie buff like me so I can usually trust his opinion. That's why I'm more willing

stone wharf
#

i cant do horror at all lol

outer tulip
#

Def.. I think conjuring is based on true events, at least the background is, so there’s a story. but idk if the individual exorcist events are actually real

#

Someone might know better than me

white smelt
#

Picked up Sandman from where I left off on my reread cause seeing William post got me wanting to finish it again.

#

Sandman 31 ||The Emperor of the united states story was so good. Goddamn. Kinda crazy that it he existed. These one chapter stories are so good. LETSBUGGINGGO ||

crimson lance
#

sandman 31 || You will never meet the emperor of the united states ||

white smelt

#

Sandman 36 ||This whole arc with Barbie and the cuckoo was very interesting but it ran incredibly long. I'm so tired from reading it SanjiYesHoney . Could've been like two chapters shorter. I think it's legit one of the longest arcs and it feels so disjointed from the rest of the series.||

#

||It had some incredible scenes though. The ending when he's unmaking the world and all it's inhabitants just walk into his robe. Crydo Seeing Wilkinson and Prinado wave goodbye to Barbie was so melancholic.||

sage sleet
#

buying my ticket to see BW with a friend and I realize it's only one old ass guy at the booth

#

and the way into the theatre wide open smh

broken fossil
hoary hawk
#

yea, i've heard it is

crimson lance
#

I thought the same wanze

twin token
broken fossil
#

there is this french comedy from the 60s, called Playtime, that is fucking gold. its almost wordless, and all about the action on the screen,. but there is so much action in every scene that its worth it to watch a scene many multiple times to catch all "easter eggs"

#

cant believe i never heard of it until DUNKEY of all people introduced it =/

#

i am ashamed of myself as a film enthusiast

#

its on amazon video, if anyone is curious

white smelt
#

Sandman 36 ||The heirogram or whatever they called it, that massive stone she destroyed had katakana on it and it was supposed to say "dreaming" but it just gibberish. Artist made some of the kana too slanted or added too many ", it was kinda cringe ||KumaPause

crimson lance
#

Why would i notice that

#

I cant read japanese

dim hedge
#

Gangs of new york worth the watch? y/n

dire lichen
#

ye

broken fossil
#

yes

hoary hawk
#

yea

crimson lance
#

The music in juno reminds me of adventure time

crimson lance
#

Sandman 51 || Did this suddenly switch to the original colorings, or is this chapter just colored like that ||

white smelt
#

No clue

#

I don't see why they would change up the source for the scans, if that's what you're wondering.

crimson lance
#

yeah i dont think they did

#

just a few pages looked weird

#

Might of been imaging it

white smelt
#

Well, comics are fucking weird in that they can have different artists with varying styles working on the same issue. It'll be like two pages in the middle of a chapter or one person and then it goes back to the original.

#

You can check the title page and see if there are two colorists

crimson lance
#

well im done with the chapter so i no longer care

#

i was just worried this was going to be a permanet switch for the last 25 chapters

#

cause i really dont like the original coloring

dire lichen
#

rashomon

modern lichen
#

one of the greatest ever

#

(film critic after watching a movie that features some neon lighting)
this movie is absolutely nuts, like an acid trip slathered in meth, a delirious dive off the edge, a kaleidoscopic extravaganza that must be experienced to be believed, a phantasmagoric descent into the void

#

Sandman 55 || This looks weird right? Like desaturated, maybe badly scanned?||

white smelt
#

Yeah

#

I'm on mobile but it does look kinda weird

#

It looks see through

#

You can see the panels on the other page

crimson lance
#

oh yeah you can

#

I think this is a combination of a new artist and bad scans

#

making it look really weird

white smelt
#

I love Matthew NamiGrin

crimson lance
#

yeah hes interesting

#

Sandman 56 || When i first appeared i thought he was John dee reincarnated or some shit. Dont even remember why i thought that ||

white smelt
#

Sandman ||They never explicitly say who he is in the series, but the wiki says he's a character from Swamp Thing. Not really important but not sure where it's stated.||

crimson lance

ew

Which issue are you at

crimson lance
#

modern lichen
#

59 huh

#

The scans get bad

crimson lance
#

I just finished the || End of the world inn arc, where everyone tells their own stories. Now im on the arc where Daneil (Dreams new son) goes missing and the art gets really weird and desaturated || Sandman 59

#

yeah

#

they do

#

i wasnt sure if i was imajging that or not lol

modern lichen
#

Bad scans

crimson lance
#

Do they get better eventually

modern lichen
#

No

#

It's sad

crimson lance
#

fuck

#

Does the art improve

#

the new style isnt bad, but i dislike it compared to the previous

modern lichen
#

The art changes later

crimson lance
#

sandman 59

#

This is a long way away from the previous art

modern lichen
#

Different artist

#

I like this kind of cartoony art

crimson lance
#

super stylized and a not a style i like

modern lichen
#

Yeah fair

#

It changes

crimson lance
#

Its a fine style but its jarring compared to the previous stuff which was just great

#

it shifted around alot but stayed great

modern lichen
#

I see

#

Yeah just for this arc

crimson lance
modern lichen
#

It changes after this

crimson lance
#

this whole section

#

i didnt post the rest cause i didnt want to spam

#

Yeah I love that spread

crimson lance
#

Only 16 chapters left

#

Could easily finish tommorow or the next day

modern lichen
#

Nice

crimson lance
#

Im dreading re-reading this one day cause i know when i do ill be unable to read anything else along side it

modern lichen
#

Sandman reread demands attention

#

I don't do it very often

crimson lance
#

Did i already ask you if you own this?

modern lichen
#

I own the first 4 volumes

crimson lance
#

What edition do you own and hows the quality

modern lichen
#

I wanna get the deluxe editions later

crimson lance
#

I want to get this but i dont want shitty quality

modern lichen
#

I have the trade paperbacks but they're good quality

crimson lance
#

like not flimsy pages or bad spines or anything

#

I was looking at the reviews and theres a musican whos friends with Niel who references his works including Sandman, and hes referenced her songs in sandman

modern lichen
#

The trades are just fine

crimson lance
#

Sandman

modern lichen
#

Also, the art style is the same until issue 69

crimson lance
#

ah thats fucked

#

thats a really long time

#

Well its not that bad i guess, i just hope it has some cool stuff in the future

modern lichen
#

Yeah, there's some cool stuff later

#

I really like this style tho

crimson lance
#

I think i wouldnt be so hard on it if it wasnt bad scans

modern lichen
#

Yeah

dim hedge
#

The last wish || on the last wish short story think this is the last one apart from another voice of reason ||

crimson lance
#

Are you going to jump right into the next book or do you have stuf before that

dim hedge
#

Jumping right into the next book

crimson lance
#

epic

#

The second book i think might be my favorite out of the whole series

dim hedge
#

And it’s even on sale fro half price right now

crimson lance
#

I bought it full price 😎

#

I had to make a bunch of price comparisons to see if i could afford the whole series or if it would ruin me

#

I got two free audible credits and im trying to find a book i want to read but not pay for to read myself

#

Neil Gaiman got any good books @modern lichen ?

dim hedge
#

Stupid decision but i want to buy blood of elves again just to get a version that matches with the newer covere

crimson lance
#

My blood of elves volume is like 5 inchs tall and has the shitty netflix cover

#

with teh actors

#

or wait no my last wish does

#

the first book

dim hedge
#

I hate those

crimson lance
#

yeah

#

Western book covers suck so fucking often

#

and the decent ones usually are some kind of collection edition that cost alot

sage remnant
crimson lance
#

I have 0 idea how to navigate this

burnt lake
#

Down to Earth 78 ||man the anxiety in that final scene is heavily relatable||

crimson lance
#

Do you actually know if this has the good scans goro

#

or am i going to go through a lot of trouble and find the same scans im already reading

sage remnant
#

Well don't go through it tho... I have the whole index downloaded so tell me the issue number

#

Also if this doesn't have the better scans then hardly any place in the web has

crimson lance
#

issue 59

#

Also you have this whole thing downloaded?

burnt lake
sage remnant
#

Recently setupped one

crimson lance
#

is this also refered to as libgen

#

cause everytime i google questions about it i get refered to that instead

sage remnant
#

Libgen only has access to most part of it

#

I have most Marvel stuff (if not all) downloaded + the index is localized...

crimson lance
#

What's NAS under? I dont see in on the front page

#

yeah im very lost

sage remnant
#

Anyways leaving these unnecessary part... I will search that issue in a bit

crimson lance
#

Im not even sure sandman is in this, it should be under DC or Vertigo but i couldnt find it in either of those

#

Altough theres references to sandman in another part, says its unsorted or something

#

seems like it should be somewhere in this

sage remnant
#

Sandman issue 59 first pagr

#

@crimson lance this is the quality...

crimson lance
#

seems better than the quality im seeing on readcomics

#

Would it be easy for you to check chapter 55

#

Cause if i had a direct comparison i could be sure

sage remnant
#

Chapter 55 or issue 55?

Sandman 59 || I got Cdisplay working with good scans for sandman, going to reread this arc from the start now. I also like this art a bit more now that it has color ||

white smelt

My volumes are pretty vibrant

#

I was going to bring my volumes on my road trip but they rearranged the issues and got me fucked up

crimson lance
#

Why would they do that

#

also: The scans im reading now had a bonus chapter at the start that the online ones didnt

#

I dont know if i missed many bonus chapters or what

white smelt
#

Hmm

#

What was it

#

Sandman ||I opened up the volume with the start of the arc where they go looking for their brother and there was a chapter with Orpheus before he got decapitated. Have you read that chapter already? I can't tell if they moved it up or down. Started my reread around 30 where I left off.||

#

||it wasn't there when I was reading online OTamaThink ||

crimson lance
#

Yeah i doont remember achapter like that

#

was it a full length chapter or a bonus chapter, cause at teh start of the volume im reading there was a like 10 page chapter

white smelt
#

Maybe it's extra and the online is just the original run?

crimson lance
#

Nah online is the reprint

white smelt
#

I didn't count

crimson lance

online probably fucked up though

#

Not the volumes

ah dc connections man

Sandman 59 || Lyta hall, the mother of daniel, is seemingly the daughter of wonder woman. ||

#

Sandman 59 || Is this dream? His stuck up attitude, his warning of the future, his mentions of the words dream, fits him alot ||

white smelt
#

||That's Lucifer.||

#

Also I looked it up. The volumes change the order of some stuff. ||They do 29-31 then 38-40 and a solo issue added in of Orpheus. And they moved the Barbie arc 32-37 to the previous volume before 29-31||

Sandman 63 i think || So loki and someone else, maybe the guy who played puck robin goodfellow? kidnaped daniel and this is a big deal. I wonder how dream is going to react to this ||

crimson lance
#

Sandman 63 || Is this the son of the guy who captured dream in chapter 1? It seems like him but i cant be sure ||

modern lichen
crimson lance
#

not what i meant lol

#

|| Is this old man, the son of the man from chapter 1 who tried to capture death but caught dream instead. Cause i know after dream escaped he punished him but i cant remember how. || Sandman 63

#

Loki/Avengers Infinity war/ Endgame || I always wondered why Avengers having to do time travel and Tony dying was the only way of victory... like it didn't make much sense. Tying it with Loki and Kang, I thought of something. Dr. Strange knows about the TVA. Every other reality except the one where they won with by having to time travel got pruned by the TVA. Also as to why this should be the case, I think that Kang finding out about Time travel, timelines and other stuff is due to the fluctuation/anomality caused in the timeline due to Avenger's time travel. I mean, it kinda makes sense, right? Also I think this is what they would use or smth ||

#

|| also related to Iron Man dying... I think it was necessary. This, I believe due to Thanos' remarks, "Cursed with knowledge" in, if I remember correctly, Infinity War. I may be biased, but I think Tony Stark would have found out about TVA and those stuff if he survived after the Infinity War and with all those infinity stones at his disposal ||

#

It would be already created but it also wouldn't be

#

It's more on those terms imo

sage remnant
#

|| no that event would make some fluctuations due to the Steve Rodgers and stuff. That would be big enough for Kang to notice the time travels and multiverse I guess || endgsme/loki

#

Which brings me to another question

outer tulip
sage remnant
#

In Dr strange movie || the ancient one says "dimensions of the multiverse", might not be something but it caught my attention || related to Loki miniseries stuff in any way?

paper kayak
#

||ancient one was definitely aware of multiverse as evident from endgame iirc||

sage remnant
outer tulip
#

|| yeah she did.. cause she knew only returning the stones kept her timeline in tact||

paper kayak
#

That someone is tony

outer tulip
#

This concept makes sense

sage remnant
#

I mean || only that outcome out of the 14,000,605 outcomes being the one that they win is absurd || endgame

#

|| which makes me inclined to think that the other realities in which they won my any other method was pruned || loki /endgame

outer tulip
#

|| yeah it’s not consistent cause we know only one outcome is allowed in sacred timeline || end games

paper kayak
#

||also if ancient one was aware of multiverse..it's possible for dr. Strange also to learn of it|| endgame

outer tulip
#

|| but this makes me now think Dr S wasn’t aware of TVA and their pruning methods for only one timeline/outcome || endgame

sage remnant
#

||So for that to happen, the time travel that they did should be something that is necessary for Kang, for the timeline that leads to Kang ruling || loki/endgame

paper kayak
sage remnant
#

It's like || if time travel didn't happen until some point, they it doesn't fall in the sacred timeline || loki/endgame

#

I mean, I can't think of any other explaination

Right?

Hmm

Ultimate spiderman, Invincible, and now sandman

I try to read other comics every now and then, but the quality difference between them and these 3 is so large i just stop after a chapter or 2

crimson lance

||sandman was good. it is 100% my favorite comic (not manga or novel). This series from the get go was more interesting than most and better looking than most too. it evolved as it went on going from a story about some guy trapped in some bubble to a collection of a couple dozen short stories and some longer stories too. I enjoyed almost every chapter and could not point out which one was my favorite because it seemed like every good chapter was better than the last. I loved the characters Neil gave time to shine, Dream himself, Delirum, Death, Nuala, Matthew, lucien, and i enjoyed many of the smaller characters, Cain and abel, Eve, Rose walker, Barbie, Lyta hall, Lucifer, The various gods who came to see Dream were all interesting. My only issues with this series come from my own lack of knowledge, of the greater DC universe but also of various myths and religions which are brought up at time to create a new story. I feel like this comic could of went on forever, getting better and better with each chapter, but ending it when he did was good too. The "Kindly ones" Arc in which everything comes to a end was confusing at times and made me upset with all the bad things happening, but ultimately i enjoyed. "The wake" The final arc was good, it answered some questions, brought up new ones, gave conclusions to characters i loved (Nuala, Matthew, Lucien, and even dream). The art style chose for the wake fit it pretty well, with its serious and dreary (but good) look. The epilouge chapters were fine, but felt a little misplaced, i think ending it with the wake was the better choice. The Will shakespear chapter felt especially out of place compared to the chapter with the undying man Rob galding or w/e and the chapter with the Chinese man traveling the soft place. I want to see more from this universe and i might get what i want from Lucifer so im looking forward to that one day. Its been nearly a month since i finished frankenstein, and this is the first thing since then ive read in any medium That i think is nearly perfect. (Frankestein was the last thing i thought was nearly perfect) I want to say more but cant think of more and regret not writing more as i read it when it was fresh in my mind|| ** SANDMAN COMIC ENDING SPOILERS **

** SANDMAN COMIC ENDING SPOILERS **

modern lichen
#

@crimson lance the sandman ending ||the shakespeare and hob gadling stuff is the thematic statement of the series. shakespeare was granted the power to live in memory through his stories and his stories gave new dreams to millions of people afterwards, its basically tying his entire arc from where we saw him with hob gadling to his conclusion with the final issue of the series, mirroring dream, as he dies but dreams do remain with people and stories always perpetuate more dreams. hob gadling as well shows how dreams remain even if you're functionally immortal. death can leave you alone, but dreams do not, dreams are essential for humans as much as life is||

#

the sandman ending ||the thematic statement of the story is that dreams exists as a companion to reality, they're two sides of the same coin||

crimson lance
#

The sandman ending || I knew there was more going on in this chapter, especially the stuff where shakespear visits dream and talks to him in his home, but I just cant read too deeply into it myself. ||

modern lichen
#

the sandman ending ||shakespeare bargained his reputation in his time and his life to devote to writing stories, these stories have perpetuated and lived through time. he doesnt know it, he's questioning if he really will live through his stories in collective memory, he has doubts, but stories are dreams shaped, he lives his entire life, his dream as a writer of stories||

As you said, a lot of little details are in knowing mythology. So on my current reread I'm picking up more and more. I think if I were to generalize it, the series is about change. We keep seeing glimpses of his past and how he hurt the people that loved him, from his lovers to his family, all because they've broken some arbitrary rules. He condemns them to suffer, sometimes for thousands of years, and ends their suffering with a flick of the wrist during the series but only after he himself had suffered for some time (his imprisonment). He begins to change during the course of the series but ultimately it's too little too late. His past actions catch up with him and his inability to bend his rules is what leads to his undoing in the end.||

||You should write down how you feel about it now for yourself and revisit it some years later. It'd be interesting to see what part spoke to you now vs later.||

crimson lance
#

Oh i already did

#

this was mostly for myself lol

#

I got it saved in my discord where i just write down my thoughts or post art i like

# crimson lance ** SANDMAN COMIC ENDING SPOILERS **

||Also I just finished reading the extra story in the volumes about his son Orpheus which I believe isn't in the online scans. This page hits so much more knowing their relationship. You should find "The Sandman Special no.1" It's a 4 chapter arc and the page count is pretty low. Like 12-15 each. Pretty short.||

crimson lance
#

Found it, its at the bottom of the sandman comic list

#

its one of those special editions youre told to ignore when you start a new comic

white smelt
#

😵‍💫

#

I think I'm going to buy the Absolute edition. I read about it and it's giant sized and has annotations on each page to clarify mythology and references.

crimson lance
#

Sandman ending || Also most of his actions that catch up to him are after he is freed from his cage. Freeing loki, Killing orpheus, and everything else. ||

white smelt
#

And it has like concept art and author interview

#

sounds dope

crimson lance
#

That does sound cool

#

but 80$ for 20 chapters is hefty

#

I dont know when or what format, but i will buy all of sandman eventually

#

and hopefully by then ill reread it

white smelt
#

The library editions are good too. Those are the ones I have.

#

The colors look different from the online scans so I'm not sure what they used for those.

crimson lance
#

Ill have to do more research, but ill probaly go with that one i kept posting the amazon link too

#

The original coloring probably

#

The one online is the reprint

white smelt
#

That's what I hate about comics. Every time they collect an old comic they recolor it.

crimson lance
#

Sandman chapter 1

#

The left side is the new coloring, the right is the original

#

Personally i prefer the new one

white smelt
#

Some of them are like water colored and then they get digitally recolored on volume collection and it pisses me off.

crimson lance
#

sandman ending

#

Sandman ending

white smelt
#

Oh okay, the ones I have look like the left one

crimson lance
#

I understand the whole desire to see the artist original vision and all that

#

but personally the left one looks better in 99% of this

white smelt
#

Yeah I think in this case they do

#

But I have a lot of omnibuses that it is not the cause SanjiYesHoney

crimson lance
#

If i had all the money in the world id collect both, just cause it would be neat to have both editions

white smelt
#

If only

crimson lance
#

I should try and find these in a book store, so i could check them out before i buy them

#

Also im going to save this || Orpheus bonus story|| for tomorrow

white smelt
#

20th anniversary Sandman bookends

crimson lance
#

i gotta get me some kind of sandman collectible

#

a poster or a t shirt

#

something with art from the series

white smelt
#

There's a follow up the Sandman series called Endless Nights that is 7 standalone stories/chapters, one for each of the Endless. If you want to read a bit more about them.

crimson lance
#

Maybe

#

Im wary of sequels and spin offs

#

I might spend tommorow reading all the short spin offs, might not

white smelt
#

They really don't have to do much with the story so I wouldn't call them a sequel.

crimson lance
#

Are they written by neil himself? I know lucifer isnt

#

or i think lucifer isnt

white smelt
#

It's just like here's some extra Endless stuff.

#

Yes, it's by Gaiman.

modern lichen
#

Sandman is the best Gaiman work

crimson lance
#

Ill read it just to get more out of || Delirum, death, and get some answers about stuff i want to know || sandman

modern lichen
#

And honestly one of the best works of literature ever imo

crimson lance
#

When you say that is it because gaiman doesnt have anything else good, or because sandman is just that much better

modern lichen
#

Oh yeah, you can now read SANDMAN: OVERTURE

crimson lance
#

Whats that about

modern lichen
#

It's a prequel

crimson lance
#

Oh yeah, wanze mentioned it

#

i think

white smelt
#

||They read like the solo stories within Sandman basically. Just basically stand alone stuff pertaining to each of the endless in some way.|| Sandman Endless nights

modern lichen
#

So describing the events before the events of the main comic

#

It's fucking incredible artwise

#

Oh yeah, endless nights is good

white smelt
#

I have the first issue. I liked how it looked and what the story was but then there was like delay after delay. It was almost a year before the second issue came out I think FujiKEK

#

I haven't finished it myself.

#

Gonna read it after my reread

crimson lance
white smelt
#

Yes.

white smelt
#

It's somehow different but feels the same as Sandman. I remember really liking it but it's been like 10 years.

#

It's really dense and long so definitely just chill and wait on it.

crimson lance
white smelt
#

yes

modern lichen
#

There are others as well

crimson lance
#

Theres two editions of overture

#

special and normal

#

which do i read

modern lichen
#

Special

white smelt
#

There's a Death limited series

#

The High cost of living or something like that?

modern lichen
#

There's a lot of Sandman stuff which you can check out in your own time tbb

#

Yeah

crimson lance
#

yeah i see like 20 different series

#

and i wont be reading em all, probably just the prequel and the other one you told me about

#

as well as lucifer eventually

modern lichen
#

Supplementary material that you can check out later

white smelt
#

Yeah those you should read. Rest is optional

crimson lance
#

Have either of you read them all

modern lichen
#

I have

white smelt
#

I haven't read the death stuff

modern lichen
#

I've read every single completed Sandman related work

crimson lance
#

Whats the difference between the two overture versions

modern lichen
#

Not much

white smelt
#

And in 2018 they launched The Sandman Universe which sounds not my cup of tea if Gaiman isn't writing it.

modern lichen
#

But go for the special edition, the coloring and scans are better

white smelt
#

But they're trying to make it like Marvel or DC which is eeeeeh

modern lichen
#

Ignoring it is fine

crimson lance
#

oh special editon is literally just interviews added to the stuff

white smelt
#

Yeah fuck that FujiLUL

crimson lance
#

yuck

#

changing writers

white smelt
#

imagine a Naruto Spin off written by someone else KumaPause

#

No thanks

crimson lance
#

theres a pic of art you posted of sandman like a couple of months ago that gave me the wrong idea of it harsh

modern lichen
#

Which one

#

I don't recall

crimson lance
#

|| It was someone in some sandy area and it had like a big ass moon in i think?||

#

Ima look through your message history to find it real quick

modern lichen
#

From my read-through?

#

For the reread?

crimson lance
#

yeah

modern lichen
#

Just a sec, lemme check

white smelt
#

I think after Sandman and Lucifer, I'ma read Books of Magic again

#

Another Gaiman classic.

crimson lance
#

oh theyre making sandman into some netflix thing

#

ill stay away from it even if it has positive reception i think

modern lichen
#

this one?

crimson lance
#

nah, but i remember you posting this before Sandman ovture spoilers

modern lichen
#

ah yeah

crimson lance
#

this was one of the things that paked my interest in it

#

I might be imaging the one i described earlier

modern lichen
#

ooh nice

#

this is a great book tho

#

some of the best art i've seen

crimson lance
#
