This was always going to be picked apart. I was dreading how trollish people would be about it all. When adapting something so known, and intense as The Sandman, we are honestly very lucky to get an adaptation at all. Gaiman and artists can see it all in their heads. He never needed us to tell him what it looks like. Stories evolve in an artist's mind like living things. My point is, if you love the story, and he likes this production.... that should be good enough for us all.
