it takes place in between books, but its the final one
So read it last
sandman 45 || Deliruim is so cool and works so well with dream ||
Alright thanks
Do you knwo the rest of the book order?
I know sword of destiny is next and i think the other books are numbered on the spine
The ending to Sandman is something that had stayed with me since I first read it. Hope you like it.
Sandman ||Matthew is great. One of my favorite characters.||
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 45
sandman 46
sandman 46
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 ||
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. ||

my favorite scale is popcorns
🍿 🍿 🍿
5 popcorns out of 5
The ideal scale is writing out which chacracters you like one by one and saying nothing else
Drive is definitely
🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍺
are you at issue 50 of the sandman now will? around there?
what's happening so far?
if you scroll up youll see its the || Arc about Delirum and Dream hunting down their brother destruction ||
Sandman 50
Oh okay
I think chapter 50 is a one off chapter, i havent read it yet
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
wanze, sandman 50+ ||the inn at the end of the world||
I finally cracked and starting saving sandman art on my computer
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
sandman 50 ||such amazing dialogue and spread||
||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
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 ||
wanze sandman 60+ ||right after the inn at the end of the world and those series of short stories there||
oh ok
You both finished so why not just label it "sand man ending"
makes me less likley to click by accident
oh my bad
will keep that in mind further tho
Ill come back for these messages when i finish and find out what you said
sure
Is there just one artist for the majority of sandman?
the downfall of western comics
which art in particular?
sandman is truly varied in that sense
because it has a whole load of different artists
The character design but also just everything
hm
sandman 50
like this is peak character design, just a guy with really pale skin and normal clothes
@crimson lance check this list
Yeah i saw that
sandman 50 ||dream's design is so good, so are the other endless, their design tells us about them||
Sandman ||I love his helmet and ruby he had in the beginning. Looks so alien.||
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
sandman 50 ||death's design contrary to every single depiction of death as a cheery goth girl is so cool||
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 ||
Watched Egger's The Witch
not as good as The Lighthouse but still greatness
very very excited for his next film
hell yeah
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
the lighthouse is monumentally better as a film
pretty fucking innovative production wise as well
oh yeah the gap is quite large
He's supposed to be working on a nosferatu movie which is really exciting
after the viking one he's doing next
a medieval epic called the knight too

Dont you mean The VVitch
VVilliam
Rude
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 ||
||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
Bro it’s been 2 years and I already forgot what happens in most of the marvel movies.
yeah, I haven't watch them recently too but it occurred to me
I feel like I have to rewatch all the avengers.
|| cornerstone of the universe being destroyed. wouldn't that put that universe in danger? || iw and eg
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||
||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
a fear street ||they couldve at least made the masks cooler smfh||
The last wish || voice of reason 5 was really good loved geralt and dandelion talking ||
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
Get the hardcovers
Theres also this set thats pretty cheap I’ve been thinking of getting
I have this
Was like 26 euros for me lol
Thos are some mighty thick books
I also heard the series was on going and the latest one was released last year
Oh nice
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 ||
123movies
give the domain too I guess harsh. there might be some unsafe 123movies clones too
Yes there are like 10 lol
try 123movies.page
Ok thanks
np
Fmovies . App is better
yeah that one I checked and was good
theres an app?
oh LOL
there was a pirated app for tv shows and live tv in India but the creator was arrested like 2 days ago
oof
lol loki is so good
there was also a good site called xmovies8.ru but its domain changed like half a year ago and I don't remember what it is
it is
yeah ofc
the only thing that's not good is Black Widow


lack widow
before what
||wouldve been great if it came out after civil war imo|| bw
hmm maybe
like, If I watch this movie during that time or around that, I would have liked it better maybe
?
did u not watch the movie...
oh
yeah yeah
which movie was after civil war tho?
in chronological order of release?
dr strange
stone lmao
have been talking in that server the whole time so automatic action
anyways this^^^
ya dr. strange came out after civil war
then guardians of the galaxy 2, Spider man homecoming
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...
||ya but the post credit scene wouldnt have made sense|| bw
|| are you really weighing post credit scene against an entire movie|| bw
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
yeah but for me it didn't pack the enough punch
like we had series like Loki and wandavision before it
ya true, they kept pushing it back so ppl could watch it in theatres
havent seen it
but are you comparing a series to a movie?
nah
its that
the quality of media... Idk what to say it exactly
also gonna be back after a discussion in other series
because it is gonna go further with the coming season and other properties. wandavision felt more conclusive and falcon is conclusive
hmm... maybe
even so, loki has packed enough punch
its the most groundbreaking marvel property since endgame
it moved the MCU into phase 4 proper
I was talking about Black Widow harsh...
Loki and WV both had packed enough punch 👀

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
honestly, done with marvel for a bit now
for the punch too
same I need a marvel break
i'm gonna stave off of MCU until dr strange 2
no What if?
nah, i'm just tired of marvel
ah
hawkeye coming out late 2021 
oh yeah
dr strange hype
What if starting in August
oh yeah
You’re not afraid you’ll miss anything?
no
@dim hedge let us know when it arrives and you start reading
Will do
I’ll try to get it sometime next month
Is it just What if before DS2? If so then yeah; not missing anything
I just finished WandaVision and Loki on Disney+
What did you think
u a fan?
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.||
Glad you liked WandaVision so much
Yeah
yea
wandavision pog
wanda is by far the character I'm most interested in this new phase
same
I’m glad people love WV here.. for real cause ppl be hating on it
They didn’t like the ending and stuff but I loved it
Fear street?
a fear street yea
Ok lol.. no I just haven’t heard of it so was curious
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
wandavision was rlly good
all of the mcu shows have been good'
but loki takes the cake
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
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
i cant do horror at all lol
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
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.
||
sandman 31 || You will never meet the emperor of the united states ||

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
. 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.
Seeing Wilkinson and Prinado wave goodbye to Barbie was so melancholic.||
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
was eyeing this series earlier, is the whole trilogy good overall?
yea, i've heard it is
I thought the same wanze
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
There was a hilariously bad typo in it. I don't know if you noticed, William.
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 ||
Gangs of new york worth the watch? y/n
ye
yes
yea
The music in juno reminds me of adventure time
Sandman 51 || Did this suddenly switch to the original colorings, or is this chapter just colored like that ||
No clue
I don't see why they would change up the source for the scans, if that's what you're wondering.
yeah i dont think they did
just a few pages looked weird
Might of been imaging it
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
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
its cool yea
rashomon
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

Toshiro Mifune's movies 
|| i really like this from dandelion ||
The last witch/netflix witcher || also correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t toss a coin to your witcher end up mentioning some of these things in the show ||
|| i really enjoyed that story it was great ||
Rereading Planetary
Woah
Man Toshiro Mifune is so hot, maybe the best looking actor
Planetary issue 4 || insane artwork by Cassaday ||
|| https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/864145910535159832/866676335241986068/Planetary_-_Planetary_Issue_4_-_10.jpg ||
Mifune can sell being dishevelled and uncouth very well
Planetary issue 6 || incredible stuff, this series is amazing ||

Stormlight book 2 chapter 4 ||Every character seems so fresh in this book, and Navani is growing more and more on me, I love her now ||
Yeah same it looks great!
Star Wars 18 giving us the showdown we never knew we needed 🙂
|| https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/812740965667569686/866732407851188264/image0.png ||
Chapter 54 of sandman is good
|| so theres some evil god controlling an alternative dimension and he's a smiley face ||
Stormlight book 2 chapter 6 ||This was so creepy
||
sandman 56
sandman 56 || Who the fuck died i really want to know ||
Sandman 55 || This looks weird right? Like desaturated, maybe badly scanned?||
Yeah
I'm on mobile but it does look kinda weird
It looks see through
You can see the panels on the other page
oh yeah you can
I think this is a combination of a new artist and bad scans
making it look really weird
I love Matthew 
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 ||
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.||
ew

Planetary / Sandman spoilers || the opposite of dream ||
59
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
Bad scans
Do they get better eventually
fuck
Does the art improve
the new style isnt bad, but i dislike it compared to the previous
The art changes later
super stylized and a not a style i like
Its a fine style but its jarring compared to the previous stuff which was just great
it shifted around alot but stayed great
#western-series message I dont know if you saw, but i loved this art
It changes after this
Yeah I love that spread
Nice
Im dreading re-reading this one day cause i know when i do ill be unable to read anything else along side it
Did i already ask you if you own this?
I own the first 4 volumes
What edition do you own and hows the quality
I wanna get the deluxe editions later
I want to get this but i dont want shitty quality
I have the trade paperbacks but they're good quality
https://www.amazon.com/Sandman-Vol-Preludes-Nocturnes-New/dp/1401225756 Do you know if this is good quality
The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes (New Edition) [Gaiman, Neil, Kieth, Sam, Dringenberg, Mike] on Amazon.com. FREE shipping on qualifying offers. The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes (New Edition)
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
The trades are just fine
Also, the art style is the same until issue 69
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
I think i wouldnt be so hard on it if it wasnt bad scans
Yeah
The last wish || on the last wish short story think this is the last one apart from another voice of reason ||
Are you going to jump right into the next book or do you have stuf before that
Jumping right into the next book
And it’s even on sale fro half price right now
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 ?
Stupid decision but i want to buy blood of elves again just to get a version that matches with the newer covere
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
I hate those
yeah
Western book covers suck so fucking often
and the decent ones usually are some kind of collection edition that cost alot
This should have the proper scan... but its a pain in the ass to search in it
http://booksdl.org/comics0/
I have 0 idea how to navigate this
Down to Earth 78 ||man the anxiety in that final scene is heavily relatable||
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
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

Yeah should be somewhere in the NAS.
Recently setupped one
is this also refered to as libgen
cause everytime i google questions about it i get refered to that instead
Libgen only has access to most part of it
I have most Marvel stuff (if not all) downloaded + the index is localized...
Anyways leaving these unnecessary part... I will search that issue in a bit
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
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
Chapter 55 or issue 55?
issue
Sandman 55
This one is slightly see through, and if the stuff youre using is slightly see through too ill know its the same stuff
Alright, i appreciate your help
ah its like 10 pages in
let me find it again
its 57 actually my bad
a few pages in
wow yeah thats nigth and day
So how would i find this in the link, do you know what its under
For that, it should be in https://libgen.gs/comics
check the ones after the upload date of 2017
The older ones would have the problem of bad quality, due to tech and all
That specific link doesnt work for me, but libgen as a whole does
nevemrind got it working
Ah then go to the comics tab
changed the gs to a is
Ah
okay i think i found it
now i just gotta wait for it to download and hopefully be good
I could get and upload the specific ones here.👀
nah im fine
The last wish and netflix witcher || also didn’t mention earlier but i like geralts relationship here more than the show they seem much more like their friends ||
Planetary || I love this series ||
|| https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/864145910535159832/866997067104911390/Planetary_-_Planetary_Issue_16_-_11.jpg ||

terminator 2
|| man the vfx for this shot should have been like hell with the computers back then. imagine this kinda vfx in 30 year old devices||
@crimson lance I have the trade paperbacks and was looking at them compared to read comics and I noticed they changed the order of chapters
There was ||more about Dream's son earlier. Around 30-31. Need to look at it some more to see where it falls under online.||
Sandman
i dont own volumes that reach that point
Planetary issue 25
|| the death star is an earth? 👀 ||
I just might, digging the art
Planetary issue 26
Moebius inspired art? Count me in
Damn , where can I read this series
readcomiconline, earl

Read Planetary comic online free and high quality. Fast loading speed, unique reading type: All pages - just need to scroll to read next page
Ooooh thanks!
thanks
youre gonna read superman comics fate?
oh LOL
Read Superman Red and Blue issue 5, it's great
They're basically short stories of a few pages
But they pack a great emotional impact
You guys know a movie called “a town called panic?”
I heard movie named that but that's all
How is your WoR readthrough going @dim hedge
hard to describe it but it was stop motion movie with 3 characters called cowboy, indien, and horse
Oh it's a stop motion movie, interesting
||Fuck you are right||
Stormlight book 2 interlude 1 ||yoooo parshendi culture feels amazing, so lively and i love how gray this makes the conflict||
stormlight || yea it's really great also makes me wonder how they would adapt the rhythms in live action because they're actually important ||
@modern lichen @hoary hawk I have finished mr robot
phenomenal series, will be giving it a 9
why not 10 
my only 10 for tv shows (at least western stuff) is breaking bad
but this is second probably
yea for me too plus mr robot
did you like better call saul
have not seen
oh 
thats fine then
some ppl just never tried because they don't like saul or because they think it's gonna be a lame ass spin off or whatever 
I've seen this so much
ppl expecting some kind of low tier comedy spin off 
Finished Breaking Bad ep 3 s1

Fell in love in ep 1
yea ep 1 is a great hook
||hard to pick between 3 or 4 as my favorite season, 3 was a bit more consistent (for me at least), but season 4 has episode 9 (my personal favorite episode) with the heartbreaking reveal at the end and the intensity of the situation without as well as episode 12 which is a fantastic conclusion to the series, taking a deep dive through elliot's mind || mr robot end spoilers
Yeah totally
it's funny when some ppl say breaking bad starts slowly
yeah I was hooked episode 1
and it just kept on delivering for me
every single season
Their fav shows are slower lol
So no less good season? And how many seasons are there?
it just keeps getting better
yeah there's no bad seasons

|| https://youtu.be/OmduYCSiTLQ || Breaking Bad s1 ep2 this is the funniest scene ive seen in a while lol (ignore the korean stuff)

Anyone use CBR here i got a question
comic book reader i mean, not the website
Cdisplay
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 ||
Yeah I like it. I didn't realize how bad it looked when you were posting it
My volumes are pretty vibrant
Always liked this arc
Its an arc ive been looking forward to for a while
Sandman 59 || Daneil being relevant was always going to happen and now its finally happening ||
No
VVilliam you little scamp 
You dont even know what, but your past comments are responsible for this
Gonna start true detective
I was going to bring my volumes on my road trip but they rearranged the issues and got me fucked up
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
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
||
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
Maybe it's extra and the online is just the original run?
Nah online is the reprint
I didn't count
Looked like a full chap
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 ||
||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||
Haha
Yeah saw that trailer a few weeks ago
Or was that teaser
Anyways
I had a question regarding thor's powers
Thor Ragnarok || why does Thor rarely use his powers in this way ||
sandman 59 || : ( I like nuala. She was cute in the old art style ||
im finally actually on chapter 59 again
but now i have to keep manual count of the chapters
|| This would be the most effective way of using it. Like on End game when he entered the battlefield. Just one look at the enemies and then in next attack, hit everyone by lightning. And he shouldn't miss/they shouldn't be able to escape from it as none of them were faster than the speed of light || avengers Endgame
Is that the same quality of scan as I checked William?
Np
Avengers end game || MCU loves nerfing people so others can have their shot too. Thor and hulk should be alot stronger but they have to be weaker so Hawkeye and black widow can do shit too ||
Yeah... || thor again going back to depending on his hammer/axe kinda destroyed the purpose of Thor Ragnarok. He just again became Thor:the god of Axes and Hammers || ragnarok and endgame
Sandman 59
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 ||
Sandman 63 || Is this the son of the guy who captured dream in chapter 1? It seems like him but i cant be sure ||
sandman 68 ||yeah, daniels the son of that guy||
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
good stuff
Yes to your question, William
Okay im actually on chapter 63
There's 75 chapters
Yes
But i lost count of what chapter im on since cdisplay doesnt tell you
but i went through read comic . online and checked
Oh okay
I just finished Star wars Rebels ||wonder if we will see ezra bridger in the ashoka show||
Just watched Badlands, insanely good debut film
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 ||
@modern lichen did you start WoR

@copper phoenix stormlight book 2 interlude 3 ||Vstim was in a previous interlude right? What did he do again?||
Oh nvm remembered
||Pretty sure that's the premise of the show||
|| same… thinking Ashoka will pick up where Rebels epilogue left off… which maybe even mean Sabine 🤗 || Rebels

Btw @outer tulip read this and share your thoughts ( when you have time)
Word boutta check this out
|| 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. || ||that’s interesting.. didnt Kang learn about the different timelines before Avenger did their time heist tho?||
||so maybe the base technology for tempad is what tomy created and ultimately responsible for all the shit or maybe it's due to Thanos time travel||
|| It's before and that's the reason for the anomality in the timeline ( if that's the correct word ) || loki/endgame
||well time isn't really linear...the base timeline would have helped Kang to discover time travel and some branching out shot happened ig||
Better tag the entire thing my dude
Word word
Past present and future coexists
Yeah this
|| yeah I understand… So would Kang pick up the time travel tech after time heist and go back in time to create the timeline? || @sage remnant
|| Or was it already created? || I just don’t know what time of it lol
|| 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
Yeah and I understand that from a || multiverse perspective but can’t really see how that’s translating to one single timeline ||
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?
||ancient one was definitely aware of multiverse as evident from endgame iirc||
|| when she explains where they are drawing the power from for their magic || Dr Strange
Yeah...
|| yeah she did.. cause she knew only returning the stones kept her timeline in tact||
||Ok so this goes something like this maybe- there was a single timeline... someone time travelled branched it out... someone else found out which may have resulted in multiple what ifs kind of scenario and caused branching of reality...|| Loki/endgame
That someone is tony
This concept makes sense
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
|| yeah it’s not consistent cause we know only one outcome is allowed in sacred timeline || end games
||also if ancient one was aware of multiverse..it's possible for dr. Strange also to learn of it|| endgame
|| but this makes me now think Dr S wasn’t aware of TVA and their pruning methods for only one timeline/outcome || endgame
||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
||if not pruned then maybe too many casualties...it's possible he must have not seen upto the part when pruning happened (which may be farfetched but not impossible)||
Did you read this marimo... kinda should answer your recent message
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?
Yeah It’s kind of what came first the chicken or the egg kind of thing
Hmm
Or maybe it doesn’t have to be
Btw ping me, gotta sleep now. Would read in the morning
|| maybe that’s why TVA never busted them for the time heist cause it leads to him eventually getting the technology for time travel || eg
Btw neko what happened to other 5 people?🤔🤔
And where do you live that’s it’s time for sleep???
India
Ah that makes sense. Half my work team is actually from India haha…. Btw I’m starting Mr Robot today 😊@modern lichen
Word I’m already 15 minutes in and can already tell ima be hooked
The opening minutes of the first ep really grab you
||dr. Strange , scarlet witch, and loki will all meet soon
||loki/endgame/wv

how soon
not soon enough
Stormlight 2 interlude 3 ||rysn is the best||
Give it a couple years 
Face your demons. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf premieres August 23, 2021 worldwide on Netflix. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is animated by Studio MIR, written by Beau DeMayo, and directed by Kwang Il Han.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf Plot Synopsis:
The world of The Witcher expands in this anime origin story: Before Geralt, the...
oh no he hot

I dont get it... the blonde hair was a like trademark
Blonde hair of who
Awesome
Did you have a favorite sectionb
The last wish || a grain of truth is my favorite, with the edge of the world being very good too. None of them are bad though but i think i liked The lesser evil less, because netflix adapatation of it was good so it didnt feel as fresh as the rest ||
The last wish || time to rank short stories
1: a grain of trutj
2: a question of price
3: the lesser evil
4: the last wish
5: a voice of reason
6: the witcher
7: the edge of the world ||
Do you dislike any of these, or is it just putting the ones you like more higher
The Witcherrr
Really liked them all
white? is that what you mean
what color hair was Geralt in the game and other netflix seris?
Witcher spoilers dont click buri || That guy in the trailer is a young guy, when he's older his hair turns white, but he's not geralt who has white hair his whole life ||
oh so || its just depicting a younger version of him? ||
Witcher || of vesemeir yes, not geralt ||
Last wish/ netflix witcher || things i liked more here than in the show (everything but ill just say the things i liked much more): calanthe, geralt and dandelions friendship the whole ending of the lesser evil and the edge of the world(didn’t like it much in the show ||
well the books will always be better at characterization
I really enjoyed the short story format of the book
yeah its great
honestly I'm still skeptical of netflix animes after Yasuke
I didn't watch yasuke whats wrong with it
Netflix almost never makes them, just gives them money
its garbage yo
for streaming rights
The last wish || really liked that we got a part of a voice of reason after a story ||
yea wasn't that made by mappa or something
it made me think that anime actually has to come from Japan to be good lol
really?
oh - right again
well but I'm still skeptical when it comes to netfix "acquired" anime
let me fallback... is this witcher series an anime? And was it made in Japan?
The new witcher thing is a movie, its animated
dont know where it originated from
Wikipedia says its from south korea
yeah I just saw that too
But the witcher series it self is polish
gotcha
well if its a movie its no hurt in watching it... I'm no longer holding an impression on it based on Yasuke
Sandman 65 || All these people dying because dream let loki go and because lyta hall is being tricked, i hope this story has some kind of happy ending cause it would suck if every character introduced just dies ||
Murakami's Works. Kafka on the Shore blew my mind when I read it a few years ago
Sandman 65
Sandman 66 || sad stuff ||
Sandman 68
Sandman 68 || matthew is the best bird in fiction ||
Sandman 68 || I think i finally realized who this woman is, its the female demon from when lucifer shut down hell, the last one who remained, i think she was in love with him or something. ||
Sandman 69 || I finished the kindly ones story arc. Very confusing but had some good bits. Seemingly dream died and was reborn as his son? I dont know its unclear, will probably be made clear soon. Feel bad for all these characters getting shit done to them when most of it isnt their fault ||
Mr. Sandman~~ Doo doo doo~
Sandman 71 || So she's the one who caused dream to be depressed a couple dozen chapters ago, she's also the woman who went into barbies dream to kill the cuckoo ||
yup
Are the fear street movies good?
I have 2 chapters left of sandman but looking at it now i can say with certaintity that this is now my favorite comic book
Previously my favorite comic book was ultimate spiderman
thats some hi praise
well ive only read 3 good comic books
Ultimate spiderman, Invincible, and now sandman
Those are really good comics
yeah theyre all fairly good
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
Maybe take a break and read Lucifer down the line.
Thats exactly what i plan to do wanze
I want to read some manga again before i get back into lucifer but i do plan to read it
yeah i wouldnt want to read that back to back
well im going to stop nwo and finish the chapter im one
how close are you to finishing the series?
there's a prequel to sandman you should read too. It's only 6 issues and the art is amazing
Also the Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy concept artist) mini series Dream Hunters
Sandman
I just finished 74, one to go
Sandman 74
Sandman 74 || So looking back on this, is this the funeral for Despair the first time she died hundreds of thousands of years ago? She's the only one mentioned ot have died before, and they say this is a funeral for a sister. So it makes sense to me. ||
not 74
but the stuff im talking about is from 74
also: im finished
WOooo time to type out my thoughts, i hope i have good ones

I should of wrote out my thoughts when i finished the series it self, before i read the epilouge
but its whatever
Amano's art is just 
Okay fear street is utter garbage
All three?
Only it was made for stuff like that.
Dream looks so good in his art.
Haven’t seen all three
Maybe the other two are good
But I just dropped the first one halfway
||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 **
@white smelt @modern lichen
** SANDMAN COMIC ENDING SPOILERS **
@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||
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. ||
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||
Sandman Ending ||That's awesome to hear. I'm glad you liked it. I was pretty young when I first read this... I think I was 15-16 years old so a lot of stuff kinda went over my head. 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.||
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
||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.||
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
😵💫
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.
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. ||
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
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.
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
That's what I hate about comics. Every time they collect an old comic they recolor it.
Sandman chapter 1
The left side is the new coloring, the right is the original
Personally i prefer the new one
Some of them are like water colored and then they get digitally recolored on volume collection and it pisses me off.
Oh okay, the ones I have look like the left one
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
Yeah I think in this case they do
But I have a lot of omnibuses that it is not the cause 
If i had all the money in the world id collect both, just cause it would be neat to have both editions
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
20th anniversary Sandman bookends
i gotta get me some kind of sandman collectible
a poster or a t shirt
something with art from the series
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.
Maybe
Im wary of sequels and spin offs
I might spend tommorow reading all the short spin offs, might not
They really don't have to do much with the story so I wouldn't call them a sequel.
Sandman is the best Gaiman work
Ill read it just to get more out of || Delirum, death, and get some answers about stuff i want to know || sandman
And honestly one of the best works of literature ever imo
When you say that is it because gaiman doesnt have anything else good, or because sandman is just that much better
Oh yeah, you can now read SANDMAN: OVERTURE
Whats that about
It's a prequel
||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
So describing the events before the events of the main comic
It's fucking incredible artwise
Oh yeah, endless nights is good
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 
I haven't finished it myself.
Gonna read it after my reread
https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Lucifer-2000 this is the lucifer ive been told to read, right?
Yes.
Yeah, will
That's the one
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.
https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Sandman-Overture This is the prequel, and this is the bonus chapters focusing on the || 7 Siblings|| https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Sandman-Endless-Nights
yes
There are others as well
Special
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
Supplementary material that you can check out later
Yeah those you should read. Rest is optional
Have either of you read them all
I have
I haven't read the death stuff
I've read every single completed Sandman related work
Whats the difference between the two overture versions
Not much
And in 2018 they launched The Sandman Universe which sounds not my cup of tea if Gaiman isn't writing it.
But go for the special edition, the coloring and scans are better
But they're trying to make it like Marvel or DC which is eeeeeh
Ignoring it is fine
oh special editon is literally just interviews added to the stuff
Yeah fuck that

theres a pic of art you posted of sandman like a couple of months ago that gave me the wrong idea of it harsh
|| 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
yeah
Just a sec, lemme check
I think after Sandman and Lucifer, I'ma read Books of Magic again
Another Gaiman classic.
oh theyre making sandman into some netflix thing
ill stay away from it even if it has positive reception i think
this one?
nah, but i remember you posting this before Sandman ovture spoilers
ah yeah
this was one of the things that paked my interest in it
I might be imaging the one i described earlier
yeah i cant find the thing i was descrbring from you
it kinda reminded me of a page from moon knight
it might of actually been from moon knight
also, will this video is great give it a watch the sandman || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhA0GVi_N4E ||
