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 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.
