Why is Phil Noto so terrible now?
>>152134175"Terrible" is kind of excessive, don'tcha think?
>>152134175Wouldn’t that first thing be her brother Destiny?
>>152134175At minimum he's in his fifties.
>>152134955It fits.
>>152135015Technically. Because even the Endless would be reaped by her, and because life and death are supposed to be different faces of the same coin.But Gaiman's IQ is terribly overestimated.
>>152134175He's REALLY fond of a caricatured 50s Caucasian aesthetic that he refuses to move outside unless he's drawing aliens, monsters, etc.
>>152135095Then retire.
>>152136319kek,i hope you meant that as in the joke hes the one posting the comment (phil) and not a bad understanding of english dialect
>>152135308I was thinking Destiny because he’s the last being she takes before she closes up the universe—and dies herself I suppose.
After reviewing Sandman for the Nth time, I again learn a new angle from which to understand the story: Destruction of the Endless is foundationally different from his siblings. His nature as a whatever-race-the-Endless-are is closer to that of his parents--Night (bounded vs boundless or existence vs nonexistence) and Time (linearity vs cyclicity or order vs chaos)--eventually resulting in the same hands-off approach adopted by those three regarding their domains of power.In the Seven, we have:>Destiny, who also defines choice/free will>Death, who also defines life>Dream, who also defines reality>Desire, who also defines need/apathy?>Despair, who also defines hope>Delight/Delirium, who also defines sadness/sanityAll of the above are functions that serve sentient beings, because only something that is sentent can make choices/die/dream/want/despair/go mad.In the Middle Brother, we have>Destruction, who also defines creationHis function is not limited to sentient beings. Stars are created and destroyed all the time without sentient involvement. The moment before must be destroyed for the moment after to be created. I wonder if that's the reason why he felt so ill at ease with performing his function: he was foundamentally more cosmic than sentient, forced to stay human-shaped and go about his duties in human-shaped ways.Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.
