Yeah, looks like they’re making the Corithian into a whole arc villain in this. A pretty big departure from the comic where Dream was only halfheartedly searching for him along with a few other missing nightmares, ran into him mostly by chance and unmade him with contemptible ease. 

So this definitely looks like they are adapting the first story arc and expanding it a bit. Not sure I’m a fan of that. The whole quest to get this items of power back was interesting in the comic because it’s played up to be this big long quest but then wraps up in like three issues.

Dune was a big hit though so it worked out 

For what it’s worth, I dislike most of Gaiman’s writing as well, EXCEPT Sandman, which is easily the best comic I have ever read.

Oh man. One thing’s for sure, they got the look so right. The Threshold of Desire! Abel! Matthew! The helmet, the ruby, the pouch! I’m a little less wild about the dialogue and the prominence of the Corinthian as some kind of arch-foe for Dream. It sounds like they’re trying to punch up the excitement factor, which I…

They have the rights to at least some material from Unfinished Tales, as that’s where the map of Numenor comes from.

Man, you’re seriously salty about this show, huh?

*Cue lots of “fans” losing their shit because this doesn’t seem to match up precisely with their preconceptions or because it (gasp!) takes a few superficial liberties from the details of Tolkien’s writings (which he constantly revised and changed throughout his life anyway), and saying it’ll be terrible despite not…

I love getting reviews sent back in time from people in the future who’ve already seen the show. Very helpful.

Lots of pedants and haters in here. I’m excited for this.  Let’s goooooooo.

“one must assume that eventually, there will be a season about the book The Lord Of The Rings.”

“Unlike Peter Jackson’s adaptation, Amazon’s The Rings Of Power takes place in the Third Age, essentially a generation before The Fellowship Of The Ring”

*Epic Facepalm*

You wanna take another look at that headline?

I desperately want them to sneak a statue or portrait of Jeremy Irons into the background somewhere.

This actually looks better than it has any right to.

The people complaining about woke history would just looooove Maria Theresa, Empress Irene, and Tsarina Catherine The Great.

We can all agree ahead of time to call him “Matt Daemon,” right?

As someone who has taken a recent interest in the history of the Middle Ages, I have decided the bad will of Game of Thrones’ ending will not stop me from checking out any spin-off in this franchise they throw our way. They are the closest we’ll get among today’s blockbuster franchises that’s heavily influenced by…

As a former Star Citizen hater, I used to feel exactly this way. I still think the devs, while maybe not in over their heads, definitely have suffered from the scope creep this game has experienced. The dev team’s problem is that they want to release the Best Game Ever (TM) but since that changes a few times a year,…

Ever since the Starfield gameplay reveal, I’ve been wondering if Todd Howard and company get panic attacks every time No Man’s Sky announces a major update.
