So “people watched the show too slowly” according to Neil because Netflix reported that there were not enough viewed hours of the show in a 28 day period to justify a second season.
Doesn’t that just mean not enough people watched it and those that did didn’t like it enough to keep watching? What a pathetic cope. I used to read Neil Gaiman stuff and I had no idea from his writing that he was such an insufferable goddamn faggot.
American Gods gave me a few clues. Remains one of the few books I'm sorry I forced my way through based on reputation. Neverwhere and Good Omens are still great although the latter feels much more like a Pratchett book.
Coraline, The Graveyard Book, and Anansi Boys are still favorites. He seemed to be a sane man even after his first divorce, but I think his second marriage made him act like a Rockstar, and that's what got him into trouble.
I know a few comic artists, and they all remember him from back in the day as this kind man who they loved talking to. Now they can't even say hello without a publicist getting in the way.
Yeah, I read all of Sandman (and Lucifer) and I enjoyed them.
Tried the first episode of the show and I got so bored that I turned it off.
Nothing stood out to grab my attention (in the first episode, mind you) except the queer boosting, which I'm already tired of.
Visually blah, dialog was slow, and they spent way too much time on bland characters that turn out to be completely irrelevant later (which was honestly a bit of a problem with the original as well).
Would have been better animated. I'm honestly sick of live action anything and it feels like studios only do it so they have an excuse to use "perfectly good actors of colour" instead of just drawing characters how they're supposed to look.
I also only made it through one episode. I never read the original so the woke stuff didn’t really bother me, it was just boring. Exact same story with the Lucifer show too, actually.
I will never get over the fact Desire was played by that ugly hook nosed scarecrow troon fag from the Cowboy Bebop abortion.
Like that dude is unappealing as a man and as a woman, but we are supposed to buy he is perfect to embody the concept of desire. Like all I desire is some brain cleaner in my eyes.
They could have just gone with an above-average Onlyfans thot and gotten a more attractive, AND more talented actress than they had. For cheaper, likely, too.
The internet is a horrible place, because it shows how awful the choices made by others are, through demonstrating a million alternatives.
He has been angry at them all along. He was literally begging people to watch it a few weeks ago, after screaming at everyone they were racists for not liking the blackwashing.
Very strange metric. Netflix started (after it's discount-blockbuster vending machine days) using lots of old IPs, well over a month old. Their profits were almost entirely sourced in things that were worth watching a month later.
If a show or movie has a random renaissance of popularity, it will be capitalized on, even if its original airing is lackluster. That's really basic logic, basic enough even for Nonceflix.
I pirated it because I cancelled my netflix account a few months ago. Annoyed at how much they were pushing gays but I soldiered on, then saw they race swapped death into a black and stopped watching. Good reminder of why I cancelled netflix.

This is spot on. I read Neverwhere first and thought it was awesome. Every other Gaiman book was trash.
Love stardust and Neverwhere, but American Gods was not good and while I like Gaiman and I like Pratchett I thought Good Omens was awful.

I guess he is assuming more will end up hearing about it and love it later and will reach the numbers he was hoping? Yeah either way mega-cope

They blackwash even in animation. Look at invincible

Deliberate inversion a.k.a. modern art a.k.a. evil.
In truth, the perfect embodiment of desire is Jennifer Connelly circa 1991.
Both of these things could not be more true.
Good one. Also Denise Richards around Starship Troopers time, or Audrey Hepburn.
she should fatten up a little

Desire, the 2nd Season. DOA.
Maybe they're going for a slaneeshi type of desire
Neil Gaiman is Terry Pratchett, if Terry Pratchett were obsessed with gay/freaky sexual stuff and subverting christianity.
What I'm saying is that Neil Gaiman is Jewish Terry Pratchett.
What I'm saying is that you should just read Terry Pratchett instead.
I'm going to reply to my own post here.
Notice how Pratchett screen adaptations are few and far between, Gaiman adaptations just keep coming one after another?
Does it activate your almonds?
Yeah, yeah and the local Estonian restaurant closed because people ate too slowly.
Cool concept at first...all the gay stuff just made me say nope. Stopped watching. Not sad it's canceled.
I get what he's saying, but it comes across as angry at the viewers, instead of the company that put it out.
What he means is Netflix wants you to consume product now, within the first month of it's release, or they deem it unworthy.
It's a strange metric to condemn a show with. Which means it's probably not the only reason.

I started watched it but didn't enjoy it much, preferred the graphic novels.
Netflix Deal Neil Protecting his revenue
Fuck off gayman
I watched up to like ep5 with the guy who can't die, but then it left-turned into unwatchable stupidity so I quit.

Considering the target audience, it was mostly stolen.
AKA, “It sucked.”
