Now gtfo out of Sandman

[slaughtermatic]

I dont know what that would even be. OG Sandman is much less like the even specifically Gaimanier version now, it's 110% his vision. No one and I mean no one is sadder about it than me but just let it all go so we can find peace. I want to cry like all the time when I think about how it and his other works helped get me through my own trauma, just jfc its all grotesque.

I was so happy we were finally getting a genuinely good version of Sandman

[slaughtermatic]

yeah and the cast are soooo amazing. idk if they can find someone who can copy his style while somehow understanding his new changed vision with 0 input from him then go ahead, but it seems kind of impossible to me when its an intense auteur. maybe im being negative idk.

He'd definitely still be paid for this. And that's a good thing - not the fact that he will be getting money, of course, but the fact that they can't change this - last thing we need is letting corporations completely remove the rights to profit from the owners of intellectual rights whenever they feel like it.

It's not like there is really any story left to tell, they should just scrap it.

Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, but I mean, people can pretty much assume where things end, I guess.

[slaughtermatic]

well there wasnt any story left to tell after s1 lol, I dont even believe his shit about terry and him outlining more.

Didn't the star of this show impregnate some 20 year old? Seems like most of the cast are weirdos.

[phililen3]

WHAT?! Ugh... Why are men?

[burntxtoashes]

I'm guessing they mean Michael Sheen - his girlfriend/wife? is only like 5 years older than his daughter with Kate Beckinsale, and they have 2 kids together

[anachan87]

Michael Sheen's partner is 25yrs younger than him (he is 55), they had a kid together in 2019.

I have a worn out copy of Good Omens that I bought second hand in 2008. I had been planning to buy a brand new copy all these years, but the fact that Gaiman would get a cut disgusts me way too much. If he still gets money from any media, then I'm not forking over a cent for that media.

[nerwende]

Probably lots of copies of his books in the second hand market soon (if not already), including special editions and others that will be in great shape.
