It looks so bad and lame. If you can't do it animated, just don't do it. I don't care how good you think your CGI is, it looks like Bridge to Tarabithia

They sapped the emotional content out of the image in the adaptation. In the original, the head-on perspective emphasizes the distance between them, and the lack of direct physical contact further emphasizes that the two are estranged. Their expressions are also better in the original - if I recall the context correctly, Death is waiting for Dream to let his guard down and welcome her back into his life, since he was the one to end their relationship as siblings, and in general he's the more petulant of the two and needs to grow.
I haven't seen it so I can't speak to the quality of it beyond this image, but I would much rather they go fucking wild with the visuals that something this reigned-in. Like "Bram Stoker's Dracula" levels of hamming-up the costuming and set design.
They cherry picked. The visuals get fucking whacky and def hold up. The Lucifer fight is everything I wanted and more
Really? I've enjoyed a lot of the show, but the Lucifer fight was the least of it.
I've really been having fun with the Cereal Convention, though. Good acting, good drama, a nice mix of horror and humor.
The fight was very abstract in a minimalist way in the comics. Seeing a well acted and well CG’d rendition of it that kept the overall feel was great.
The Cereal convention was fantastic.
In the comic, Dream just fights the Duke. And he delivers "I am hope" as a chessmaster who just boxed his opponent into a clever trap.
In the show, he struggles to squeak it out against Satan, in a come from behind finish.
Not my favorite adaptation. But that's art for you.
Gaiman said the change was specifically to show that Dream especially at Thai time needs people and to show the overall theme of the series being hope and dreams.
Frankly I like that, it sets up things to come and also allows us to see Gwendoline Christie who Gaiman said he adored but had to cut a lot of for time constraint.
I mean, I think they did a solid role casting her. Just not how I would have adapted it.
Don't worry they definitely get wild with the visuals, this image is like the worst possible representation of the series.
