hi mr gaiman, i just wanted to ask, why do events in the show version of sandman seem (for lack of better word) kinder than the comic version? eg. alex is a more sympathetic character in the show than in the comics, john dee ends up not killing rosemary, gault having better motvation and getting to turn into a dream as compared to her comic counterparts. the show clearly doesnt shy away from gore, so i was just wondering if these changes were made for like thematic reasons. thank you!

I think we’re older and perhaps a bit kinder than I was thirty four years ago.
