Warning: SPOILERS for The Sandman Season 2 are ahead!
Just in the original Sandman comics, Tom Sturridge’s Morpheus met in end in The Sandman TV series, willingly giving up his life in the episode “Long Live the King” in order to save The Dreaming and its remaining inhabitants. Then Morpheus’ funeral was held in the twisty Season 2 finale and attended by many of the characters viewers had become acquainted with over the show’s run. But as I learned from The Sandman co-creator David S. Goyer, there were two especially amazing cameos that were planned for the funeral that didn’t work out, and I really wish these could have happened in the Netflix subscription-exclusive series.
