Major spoilers ahead forThe SandmanSeason 1.The Sandmansjourney to the silver screen was over 30 years in the making.
The 10-episode first season chronicles the first two volumes 16 issues of the comic book series.
And it makes a few surprising departures from the source material in the process.
Lets break down the Episode 10 ending and how it differs from Gaimans comic books.
This powerful entity can collapse and destroy worlds.
The Corinthian wants to use Roses power, whereas Morpheus intends to destroy it, which means killing her.
As Morpheus kills The Corinthian and dispenses with his serial killer followers, Rose escapes.
Just as Morpheus is about to kill Rose, theyre interrupted by Unity Kinkaid (Sandra James-Young).
Unity is Roses grandmother and was initially destined to be the vortex.
Unity explains she was impregnated by a golden-eyed god during her comatose state and gave birth to Roses mother.
Unity strips Rose of her vortex ability, thus sacrificing herself to save her granddaughter.
Rose safely returns to her little brother Jed.
Near the end of the season, Morpheus begins working on new dreams and revives Gault.
Taking in Azazels advice, Lucifer says that she plans to bring Morpheus to his knees.
How IsTheSandmanDifferent From The Comic Book?
For the most part, the Netflix show isnt far off from Neil Gaimans comics.
Just like in the TV series, Morpheus rejects Gilbert, and Unity arrives in the knick of time.
The comics also see Morpheus confront Desire for the gods role in creating the vortex.
Where the endings diverge is in the aftermath of Unitys sacrifice.
The Netflix series sees Rose write a book about her experience in the Dreaming.
Another significant change is the final scene of Season 1.
Lucifers plans to take down Morpheus dont exist in the first two volumes of the comic book series.
AsNeil Gaiman told Bustle, they have planned to adapt the entireSandmanseries.
