In the United States, there is a very famous cartoonist Neil Gaiman, who has published many wonderful works on DC Comics, won the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Comic for "The Sandman: Overture", and his "American Gods" was adapted into a large-scale TV series by Starz.
However, he still has a very famous work, but no one has dared to put it on the screen, whether it is a big screen or a small screen. Because in his comics, that grand dream country has deterred many film and television production circles that want to adapt it, and even the famous Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, who has directed such excellent films as "Pacific Rim" and "Hellboy", has said in interviews that "The Sleeping Devil" is difficult to adapt into a movie.
The reason is that its story content is too grand, and the magic scenes in the original book are very abstract, which is almost impossible to present with real pictures.
However, in the face of the rich Netflix, there has never been the word "dare not", just a matter of timing. If the movie can't be made, then make a drama, no, in May of this year, Netflix released this comic book adaptation of the same name "Nenosis".
Morpheus the Nebuter was a god in ancient Greek mythology who was responsible for the dreams of mankind. It is said that the "gods" who haunt at night will sprinkle magical sand into the eyes of children, and then they will fall into a beautiful sleep and sleep sweetly.
It is reasonable to say that this is a good god, but Einstein's theory of relativity tells us that there are two sides to everything, there are beautiful dreams, and naturally there are nightmares.
As in the comics, outside the real kingdom, when humans close their eyes and fall asleep, they will enter another country, a place that people call "dreams", as long as there is a kingdom, there is a ruler, there is a king, and the king of dreams played by Tom Sturridge is the king of this country.
Don't underestimate the kingdom of dreams, everything in the world is inseparable, it coexists with hell and heaven.
The fears and fantasies in people's hearts are built up here, and the world is thus balanced.
However, in Western myths and stories, although the gods are supreme and have boundless mana, there are always a few mortals who covet their abilities and try to control or obtain the power of the gods.
The King of Dreams met such a few mortals who "did not measure their own strength", but these people actually succeeded, they summoned the King of Dreams, and used some sorcery that did not originally belong to humans to imprison the King of Dreams. This imprisonment lasted for a century, and precisely because the dream did not have a ruler to preside over the overall situation, the world began to become chaotic, some people fell into nightmares, they were sleepy, and some people were haunted by nightmares and miserable.
Finally, the descendants of those who imprisoned the King of Dreams quarreled because of infighting, breaking the spell of imprisonment, and the King of Dreams was finally able to break through the cage and become a free body.
He returned to his dream realm, which had been so magnificent and magnificent that he had to regain his strength before moving back and forth between the human world and the dream realm to repair the dream realm and to avenge the descendants of those who had imprisoned him.
Under the leadership of the protagonist Dream King, the series performs 11 epic chapters for us, in which the rich plot, mystery and darkness, fantasy and reality are intertwined, and the sometimes powerful and sometimes powerless Dream King has experienced various adventures, during which various American mythological gods, demons, and demons have appeared.
Netflix's TV series "Necronomy" basically retains the overall storyline of the comic, but has made some necessary simplifications to make it look more concise, and invited the original author to participate in the production of the series, which largely guarantees the quality and matching.
If you've recently been updating too slowly with the "Game of Thrones" spin-off series "Dragon Family" and "Ring of Power" and no other series to brush, then you can go to this Netflix magic drama, which is not bad at all, and can be enjoyed at once for eleven episodes in a season.
