- "It's time." Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) comes to claim an elderly violist in this exclusive scene from the sixth episode of Netflix's The Sandman, starring Tom Sturridge as Dream. Adapted from Neil Gaiman's seminal DC Comics series, The Sandman debuts on Netflix on August 5, 2022.

Those who criticize the scene for being too "sweet" because of the music, or Death's gentle and quiet mannerism, may not have gotten that Death and scenes like this in the comic were never intended to be dark, edgy, or ghastly. Death was always meant to convey an intense warmth and gentleness towards the departed. It was also meant to communicate a kind of relief, even happiness at the acceptance of death.
This scene really does capture that.
At least you read the comics. Many people jump of bandwagons to say silly things when not even knowing the thing they talk about
Death is the kindest and most gentle in the comics
@@DagothUrAmaranth Hate is a great motivator to feel included.
Death, by Neil Gaiman, is exactly the kind of person you would want to see when you discover you are dead.
Yup. They're forgetting that Neil was a close friend and collaborator with Sir Terry. This Death is clearly heavily inspired by Discworld Death; and Neil also wrote 'American Gods' which featured an almost identical scene between an elderly woman who took a fatal fall and Anubis. He really likes this trope.
The thing about Death that makes her my favourite of all the Endless is that she chooses to be kind. She could be as cruel as Desire, as remote at Dream and as unknowing as Destiny. But she chooses to be the last kind face they meet before they go off to wherever the dead go after death. For all those who need her most.
She used to be, if you read the story were dream is at the party with the stars that desire put on (back when dream and desire liked eachother) when death shows up the whole party goes quiet. It's a great scene.
Gaiman's Death is my second favorite anthropomorphic Death. First place goes to Pratchett's DEATH.
The thing about death is she was depicted in the comics as a pale goth chick. Here, her character was ticked for the sake of diversity just for the sake of "modern sensibilities".
@@higheyrie6176 They casted the best actress for the role. Merit over race, remember? Stay mad.
@@higheyrie6176 Evidence that you didn't read the comics but whatever.
“Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.”
🔥❤️👍
Well said.
Death note
"You get what everyone gets. You get a lifetime."
And it’s never enough
If they do the part with the baby dying that will be all anyone can talk about the next day, even if the Death actress is as flat and boring as she is in this clip.
For what you did to me
No more no less
@@Rorysammy you’re absolutely right , she should have entered the room doing the Charleston that would livened things up
Anybody else cry when he said the prayer?
Most people want to go back or tell their loved ones one last thing; he just wanted to get one last prayer in
"You ready?" .......the way she says it, so softly, almost as if asking for permission....you get the feeling that even though she's talking to Dream and it's just about them moving on to what they have to do next, her tone is a reflex from asking countless souls over equally countless eons.
Kirby is absolutely perfect for this role. This episode had me sobbing. So beautiful.
my sister recently died and seeing her as death gave me so much comfort hoping my sister had an experience with the kindness and warmth that death brought to all she came across
🫂
The whole death section (and the episode at large) was so wholesome. Especially considering what happened in previous episodes. You expect death to be a scythe wielding skeleton. But it's a nice young woman, peacefully guiding people into the afterlife. One of the best episodes in TV IMO.
And the music too, was just so fitting, beautiful and inspiring for the scenes...
I've always said the episode adapting "Sound of Her Wings" will make or break the series. It's the first time we see Death, the first time the comic fully came into its own, and one of the most emotionally moving issues. It lays out the heart of the story.
Well, it looks like they might have made it.
Well said!
No, they did not make it. Already that shitty background sentimental music completely destroys it; standard cliché death scene blimblim. So wrong here in the context of the comic.
Fair, but 24/7 (The diner) will be it for me.
@@falkenherz1708 you didn’t even watch the episode yet calm down
Miles Morales death 🤣
I'm so glad they made it a full series instead of a movie.
OMG Yes! Ten graphic novels, each with multiple stories, there's no way one movie would work.
Gaiman hated all the movie adaptations that were pitched. He said they writers tried to make him into a superhero.
can you imagine the breakneck pace of a movie?
I'm glad that so many more people will get to meet Gaiman's Death - in my experience, anyone who knows her is a richer person for it.
To quote a later issue: "Dear sweet merciful Death, you've come to make it all stop?"
She is lovely.♡
Except she was not the death gaiman had illustrated and decades of fans have have identified. Now go read the comic, poser.
@@pattif192 I agree, she's so beautiful
Absolutely agree. I've read the series something like 5 times and she does an amazing job of capturing Death's boundless positivity. It's a quieter interpretation than the original--less goth-punk-rocker chick. But still solid.
It gets me how everyone knows her immediately, and how people react with sorrow and fear but not to her. She's everyone's last friend.
DC's Death is one of my favorite interpretations of the entity. If you haven't seen the Showcase short film Death, it's the same character with just as if not an even more moving and heartbreaking story. Cried while watching
That was gawddamn spectacular short animation
Between Gaiman's interpretation and Pratchett's, one can only hope that if there is an entity that represents the concept that it's as nice as either one of them...
Too bad the woman they chose looks nothing like her..
@@willpower8061 Given that Death can look however the hell she likes, I'm less concerned with that particular fact and more with whether or not they got the core of her character...
@@willpower8061 oh no, the author helped pick someone he thought was a great fit for his anthromorphic version of something we all go through. If you read the books you’d realize how much oh resembled Morpheus, you’d rather die than accept change and adapt to modern times lol
The Sound of Her Wings is one of my favourites so this just made me weep like a baby. Can't wait to see all of it unfold on August 5.
it does not disappoint IMHO
I'm officially convinced they nailed the casting for Death. She exudes such warmth and compassion.
Mmm
Seriously? have you ever read the book, that looks NOTHING like Death.
@@willpower8061 Doesn't LOOK like the comic's Death, but seems to embody Death's significant character traits. How lucky are we!?
@@willpower8061 Doesn't "Look" like death. You do realize as one of The Endless, Death can look like whatever she/it wants right?
@@alexanderiel6950 you do realize that her appearance described by DC:
A young, attractive, slim woman of average height in her early to mid 20's. She has very pale skin, dark eyes, long jet-black hair that she wears in a variety of styles and has an Eye of Horus painted under one of her eyes.
Did she get a tan???
I'm almost in tears, she just nails Death so well.
Like in a comic or "real life"
Netflix bastardized capeshit brings you "to tears"? Truly expanding on the whole "soulless Bugman" question
@@thegadflygang5381 The only one souless here is you.
Yea except for the part where she looks nothing like death
Nailed the coffin you mean, Normie. Now go read the comics, you effin poser!
That almost had me in tears. My goodness, she plays an excellent, kind and compassionate death.
This scene truly encapsulates the idea of ‘greeting Death like an old friend’, as our only certainty in life 💔 I also love the added touch that Dream steps away, like giving respect to a private moment.
It is said, those who fall in love with any of the endless are doomed to tragedy. But DAMN does Death make it hard not to fall in love with her!
Fun fact: the inverse also applies, Death loves humanity and everyone is fated to die…
Tell that to Franklin! 🤣 she gave that brudda a rude awakening
Yeah, even Thanos can relate.
Wait-wrong multiverse. 😅
@@sageashton31 Actually, Sandman’s Death has appeared in Marvel before, though it’s a bit of an Easter egg
This series made me suicidal. Not for any sad reason, just, if there is a smiling goth gf at the end of it all, you better believe I'm gonna get there soon
It makes me so happy to know Neil Gaiman is jumping out.of his skin with pride and excitement right now. Congratulations on getting what you deserve Neil. It truly is the story that ends all stories.
The introduction of Death was the most beautiful thing I've seen for a long time on TV. She was so gentle. kind and compassionate
This actress is perfect so comforting and kind exactly what we need from our lady death
No
Poser. Now go read the comic.
@@warrior_of_liberation cry again 😅
@@samcalven12 Nope.
@@warrior_of_liberation stay mad hahaha
When you're very old, or very sick, or both, and tired of the weight of the world, Death is not a terror.
Death is a friend.
And just like that any fear that this would be anything less than an absolutely faithful adaptation flies away like ravens departing from the nest.
There is no way you are serious.
@@Rorysammy I’m always serious.
@@Rorysammy get over it.
Neil has had a major hand in this series, so it will be faithful to the stories.
@@hokutoulrik7345 this is true, but you never know, so I’m glad my cynicism was unwarranted.
This scene brings the exact same feel when read the comic :')
No it doesn't
@@dmitriimekh6288 Yes it does
@@vittorio-vic-giammona2604 Ti trovo anche qua, mi fa piacere
@@dmitriimekh6288 it absolutely does
Reminds me of that scene from "Meet Joe Black" with Brad Pitt.
I’m glad they made death a compassionate companion and not something to fear
If the Show botched that aspect of the Character then she would have been ruined.
Read the comic source, normie.
@@higheyrie6176 gatekeeping will land you in Lucifer’s realm.
@@jtlyncharts5093 and?
The "sound of her wings" at the end... this clip made me cry
I’m blown away by this. Wow. Was always a favorite scene. But this is beyond what I’d have hoped for.
I'm crying, don't know why
Because it’s sad when we die. And it’s sadder you can see an immortal show compassion because you’d think they have lived beyond that
Right there with you
She’s not Death of Discworld, but Death of the Endless is a close runner up for best depiction of the Reaper in fiction.
Yeah, there's a reason Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett were best friends.
Mine's the Death from the Castlevania show. Casual use of the F-bomb like he's some kind of Twitter troll is hilarious.
@@mrshadow4007 Despite the name, Castlevania Death is not the Grim Reaper just some ancient parasite feeding of death.
AND WHAT PROBLEM DO YOU HAVE WITH MY VERSION OF THE DISCWORLD?
@@farhanibrahim6431 potato potato. They call him death and he's involved in the afterlife process.
As death can b merciful, this proves *SHE* is by giving Harry a moment more.
It's a very touching scene. 😊
She’s perfect as Death, she has the kindness and gentleness of Death. Not to mention the smile too. This makes me happy to see her portrayed in a way that is accurate. Like I’m crying rn… omg.
It's verbatim from the books. Can't wait.
Not exactly verbatim, but close enough that I'm more than hyped from what we've seen so far o/
@@Shaltinanwenor What's stopping it from being verbatim?
@@himum3429 In the comics he looked different, the house was more run down, and he talked a bit more about his life. But they did it well.
@@himum3429 In the comics Death did not give him a change to say the prayer before he died. He just died on the couch while mouthing his prayer, his words becoming softer and almost like a whisper till he died and stood next to his own corpse, looking at himself. He also asked, after saying that his father said that saying the prayer would guarantee one's place in heaven, "What now?"
"Now is when you find out Harry" Death answered
It's a subtle but a multilayered exchange. Harry is both asking what happens now since he is dead and if it is true that the prayer grants you a place in heaven. Death answers that he will now find out.
But by changing these few lines, adding Harry saying "So i'm dead. Now what?" It simplifies the exchange since the question does not immediately follow after him saying that the prayer should grant you a place in heaven.
@@himum3429 she's black, enough to ruin the character
The baby in the crib got me. So sad, so bittersweet. Definitely had some tears on that one.
And in the end he greeted death as an old friend...
**watches...tries not to cry**
.
.
**cries a lot**
Neil Gaiman had a hand producing this series so he definitely had a say in who played who.
This episode is just pure art!
Dream was the only one to turn away.
Death will be one of my favorite characters, she is so compassionate towards the souls she guides across.
"The sound of her wings."
She is so gentle and warm :,)
Actress hit the vibe perfectly.
death is opening your chains, let go of everything whats a weight on your shoulders, finding piece...this is perfect
Thanks I’m already tearing up here. I’m not ready for this show
if only death is this gentle in reality
The music was on point. beautiful!
Hard to pinpoint why this is so powerful, but it sure is
Had to shed a few tears, this was perfect!
Perfect for normies. Now go read the comic, poser.
She needs a golden globe award
This scene was so well done💜
The sound of her wings...
Chefs kiss! And the look In dreams eyes of sorrow and happiness.....this show is going to be amazing.
When death arrived, they came not for prize or power. They were only a gentle guide to the final mystery. The old man looked upon his body cold and withering. But his soul remained warmed and welcoming. To paradise, he shall go. To the great unknown.
this looks amazing
This was such a powerful scene. Wow.
This episode is the most powerful of the season and my favourite. The music is beautiful. ❤️
The gentle beating of mighty wings...
I'm gonna rewatch Sandman so many times.
The beginning of his evolution.
I've watched this scene over and over and still have a tear in my eye...so beautiful...
Beautiful! Counting the days until August 5th!
Brought a tear to my eye.
For me 2
The music is so soothing
"now what?"
"now is when you find out, Harry"
straight out of the pages, beautiful
Such a beautiful scene…..
All the scenes of death made me bawl like an infant 😭
She was such an incredible choice for this role! Death is one of my favorite characters and she’s just gonna be amazing
I'm so exciteddddd
this scerne is truely emotional . Awesome series .
“Death does not concern us. Because as long as we exist, death is not here. And once it does come we no longer exist.”

But standing in the waiting line of Death is getting more and more frightening, the nearer you are to the front of the line.

Man... I'm not crying, you are crying!
For people who kept asking why they cast Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, the subtitles should be great big blinking neon lights that read "THAT'S WHY" any time she's on screen.
No.
Death is but the mailman. Nothing more, nothing less. But this clip made me cry.
Uow. They adapted This scene? OMG
A minute in and I’m crying…
This episode is very emotional. 😭
The score is IMMACULATE
This ep was amazing
This scene breaks my heart.
This Episode 6 was my best episode the whole series....I loved it up to the 100 years guy
This give me the feeling of watching DC showcase Death
That is lovely and sad. 😢
wonderful! great casting all around
Why people complaining about death race when they literally have a scene where dream become a black dude when he met nada in an attempt to explain endless can be anything they want. Yall just complaining to complain and ignore the context or what?
seriously. these folks are so fragile.
Chapter 6 - The sound of her wings .
The most touching episode ❤💙💚
But where is that awesome eye makeup I've come to know and love??
She didn't get that until later in the comics.
wow - they have nailed it. Can't wait
Love that can't wait to see the show
Just WOW
So beautiful
As well as the brilliant casting, the soundtrack sounds absolutely phenomenal. Can’t wait for August 😁
Oh....WOW.
TOTALLY PERFECT.
Oh, they got that right. I'm so relieved.
It’s not about the look of the character, but the feel. If the look is wrong it may be jarring at first but if the feel is right it’s the character. She nails the feel
Nail the coffin you mean. What if they cast queen nada and her people as caucasians and their kingdom set in europe, won't that jar you as well? Now go read the comic, poser.
She nailed everything.
There's Death.
Does anyone no, wich prayer he is saying just before passing over ?.
What a gorgeous woman. Beautiful scene.
the best episode
Agreed
Read the comics and listened to the audiobook ... watching this scene made me cry
