Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian
- Netflix’s The Sandman: Episode 1 - Sleep of the Just, 2022.
the corinthian shares some of his fanart with a co-worker.
something something the Corinthian is a reflection of the worst of humanity, and in a way he’s also a the worst of Dream. he’s petty, cruel, he can chase someone he holds a grudge against to the ends of the earth. in hell, when Lucifer insults Dream, he leans in, smiling, and twists the metaphorical knife. the Corinthian smiles when he kisses his victims.
the Corinthian wants, follows every impulse without shame where Dream denies himself every desire, out of a pride that conceals pain and shame over the loss of his son, his wife, a string of lovers who fell out of love as quickly as he fell into it. the Corinthian is charming, seductive where Dream is awkward, the smooth clean cut of bone where Dream is ragged, falling apart. Dream denies himself everything, and so when he makes the Corinthian, sculpts him out of clay, the Corinthian is born starving, and no amount of flesh or blood will ever sate him. and yet, in a way, he loves Dream, hungers for his approval- how can he not? he’s carved from him, like eve from adams rib. how can he not cry when Dream unmakes him?

iβd like to personally thank boyd holbrook for how slutty his performance as the corinthian is. the director said βone more!β but he heard βmore whoreβ and went with it.
Thatβs exactly how the conversation went right?

One of the greatest tricks The Sandman pulls is when the eyeball-eating serial killer nightmare man rolls up and is like βHi Jed! Iβm here to pick you up and get you out of here :Dβ, the audience collectively is like βoh thank fucking godβ
