[(Anonymous)]

They put the worst bit of Calliope offscreen, so they might do it for that story too.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, a lot of it is already offscreen, no? IIRC they never come right out and say that's what happened.

But at the same time, I don't think they can really change the underlying nature of the story.

BIG FUCKING SPOILERS

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT, but comment OP here and Morpheus takes Death's hand on the page. I mean, they don't show a lifeless corpse flopping around unless you count the body(?) on the bier that appears when they lay the winding sheet on it, so the covered and wrapped body is all you see unless you count his head(? sort of?) affixed to the prow of the funeral boat for a couple panels

But if you mean, they don't show a "traditional" suicide where he turns a weapon on himself or takes poison or something... this is more suicide by cop/Furies. He's definitely shown setting in motion the events that lead to his death, if not when he goes literally seeking Destruction, then when he agrees to Orpheus's price.

I have two hopes that the show will be less... I guess less brutal.

One is that the Fates and Calliope refer to Orpheus as already dead. So is it an Overture/Dream of a Thousand Cats thing and Dream retroactively making it so Orpheus died when the maenads ripped into him was already always true, and only he remembers otherwise? Or do the Fates somehow still come after him for it? He can't kill Orpheus if he's already dead on the show.

This could be the set up for some show-only thing where Morpheus doesn't actually want to die--not that he necessarily wants to die in the comics, but he can't see other options--but instead is just killed. If they go full Hollywood it could be he tries to save Daniel or something, but I seriously doubt Gaiman would change the story so Morpheus unambiguously wants to live and survive.

Two, I'm not a Dream/Hob shipper; I like them okay but so far I don't ship anything much on the show or in the comics. But if the show gets that far and expands on Hob's dream to make it less ambiguous that Morpheus survived as a dream, even if he's not Dream anymore, I think I could handle the rest. Even if I cry buckets.

Re: BIG FUCKING SPOILERS

I'm just going off memory here, but my recollection is that they don't explicitly come out and say that Morpheus intentionally set in motion the chain of events that led to his death - in other words, that he chose to commit suicide. In particular, that it's implied, but not stated, that he was the one who arranged for the kidnapping of Daniel, which was a necessary linkage in the chain.

Again I'm just going off memory and it's totally possible I'm forgetting crucial details. But that's what I had in mind.

NA

IIRC I think he does eventually figure out what's happening, but it's too far along to really do anything about it. And also that it's something he sets off subconsciously, bc I think I remember Death giving him shit for that.
