Neil Gaiman had the best response to this ‘I’m not racist but…’s trolling of The Sandman adaptation
Everyone’s loving Neil Gaiman’s live action Netflix adaptation of his comic book series The Sandman, starring Tom Sturridge, Jenna Coleman, Gwendoline Christie, Stephen Fry and so many other big names we haven’t got room to list them all.

Well, when we say ‘everyone’, this troll found a particular fault and was only too glad their thoughts to share on Facebook, obviously. And we’re very glad they did because Gaiman had the perfect response.
Here’s what the Sandman creator said about it on Twitter.
Did I go too far? https://t.co/armWrsh9Pp

And this is just a flavour of the many things people were saying about it after the exchange went wildly viral.
Not far enough, I’d say…

Clever, funny, and charming in one post. I think it is just perfect.

Dellerium causing upset rambling and confusion before she’s even been cast is peak dellerium

Kirby Howell-Baptiste is perfect in the role.
I would only be too happy to be greeted, at the moment of my final breath, with a voice as gentle, smile as kind and genuine, and reassuring a hand of Death in her guise.

Comments like this destroy me. Can we just take a moment to appreciate everything those actors did with the roles. My personal favourite was death. A beautiful character, and we can only dream that, when the time comes, someone as lovely as her comes our way. Perfect.
