Yes, the reasons behind the castings of the characters could be racist. Also they could be sexist. But I think it would be safe to say that it takes more than one season of one show to safely make such claims.
That wasn't my argument. You know it, I know it, we all know it.
Yeh, I get not wanting to do just Preludes and Nocturnes as the whole season because as much as I do love it you’re really ending things just at the point where he’s ready and back to full strength. And so I can get not wanting to have a whole season that’s just build up. So you want something that ties those two sections together. And while Corinthian isn’t really a threat to Dream in the comics as such I can understand why you’d pick him as your antagonist because “Dream vs a Nightmare” makes sense on a surface level as something to capture casual viewer’s interest. And obviously it helps that he has this really distinct look with his eyes and functions like a serial killer, something that’s always going to grab people’s attention.
You really do have severe issues with reading comprehension AND attention. I wrote about skin tones and actors and actresses all along. I wrote about casting as a whole.Oh, so now it's race changes and gender changes. Right, gotcha.
Dude. You just don't like the fact that they race and gender swapped some characters in the show. But instead of just coming out and saying it (probably because you know how that would sound), you've decided to pitch it that Neil Gaiman could somehow seemingly be racist by changing white characters to black ones. The incredibly white Neil Gaiman, somehow racist against white people. In the series that stars a really pasty white dude as the main, sympathetic protagonist. With other white sympathetic characters like Hob Gadling and Fiddler's Green in it as well.
Midsummer Night’s Dream is kind of one of the iconic parts of the story, particularly since it won a World Fantasy Award. So it would feel odd to miss it. But I can also see it throwing a lot of people off and the executives wanting to keep things more streamlined.
They changed the skin tone of many of the sympathetic characters to darker ones and female while the skin tone of many of the evil characters remained light and male.
Jesus this was a waste of my time. It was disappointing discussing with you FunkMiller.
Just block him and move on.
Sounds to me like this isn't the Sandman adaption I want, so I'm gonna pass. Maybe pop in for the century skiping pub meet up ep, if they do that one.
That's not my logic though.
That story was in episode six. It was one of the best episodes if not the best episode of the season.
It’s pretty dull how much culture war shit dominates conversations.
Sad to see such blatant homophobia on this forum going unnoticed by the mods (or maybe just ignored?)
I’m not sure what was super cool or super smart so far - 5 episodes in.
Pretty much every character is race and gender swapped except for the main character
This. I came in here to see what this show was about and yet another cuck is in here crying about gender and skin colour. Give it up dude. Same as in The Bayman thread. A gang that's 85% white has people throwing tantrums. Brutal. They're not hidden messages. It's not a conspiracy. People of colour live on our societies. Let's share the fun.
I don’t care about this I just care if the show itself is good to watch. I do not know anything about the show. I’m going in blind. I just want a nice show to watch.
Reading the summary of the episodes, it seems that the big villain is
It's good for the first half. Stop after episode 5. It's just drawn out and lacks focus after that.
Like so what, it's 2022, I'd expect Neil Gaiman or any author/artist to race or gender swap characters for a tv show or movie. It doesn't mean you have to automatically like it just because the creator okayed the change. Plus like folks have said, it's netflix so this kind of stuff is to be expected.
