It’s not actually his horse. Shadowfax responds to his call, but he is a free horse.

And the bloody PC brigade made him a brown horse when he’s white in Lord of the Rings! Political correctness gone mad.

According to the older account, used in The Silmarillion , Galadriel was an eager participant and leader in the rebellion of the Ñoldor and their flight from Valinor due to her desire to one day rule over lands in Middle-earth herself.
She’s fucking badass, she was 2nd only to Feanor in the Noldor in power. A student of 2 Valar and a Maia from where her powers were learnt… That’s 2 gods and 1 demi-god btw…

Ive got a feeling Sandman is going to be complicated so Ive been putting it off to watch on a rainy weekend (every weekend this time of year) rather than in the evening after work when knackered.

Really isn’t, not like GoT for example. Watched it on my tablet while doing cardio at the gym.

It’s not complicated, it’s very good.

What is it that made it considered so “unfilmable” then? Or can that not be answered without spoilers?
You have to read the graphic novels to get a feel for that. It’s the ethereal feel that’s difficult to created but they did a masterful job for me

Yeah, as koptician said, I think it’s a stylistic thing rather than a narrative thing.

I feel like with graphic novels you almost have the storyboard right there on the pages, straight from the author and artist, and the fans will be satisfied if you largely stick to it. In fact with The Sandman they updated some of the elements that could have felt a bit aged from when Gaiman wrote it.
With books, we all have our own version of what it all looks like and there is a bigger chance that it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

And yet that is what Snyder did with his watchmen and people largely hated it, fans and neutral critics alike. Sometimes I feel its a no win situation to take on such a project.
I never got that! I really liked The Watchmen and also agree with the change to the ending because frankly what was in the graphic novel was too “comic-booky” and wouldn’t translate well onto the screen.
Maybe it had something to do with that crotchety old git (but genius) Alan Moore hating it or mating any depiction of anything he’s written

Ha. Yeah, Im sure that contributed a lot to the fans hating it. But I did also see a lot of the reviews criticize Snyder for basically shooting a frame by frame film version (except even then it wasnt as iut cut out the Pirate stuff and if I recall correctly almost all the doomsday stuff as well).

Apparently I underestimated the level of nerdiness on this forum.
