“it has some fun gore”

This isn’t super relevant to the conversation, nor is my personal thoughts interesting to anyone, I just find this part funny. To me, there’s no such thing as fun gore. Just gore I look away from fast enough, and gore I’m not as lucky to miss. I used to be able handle it when I was a teen getting into horror with gorehound friends. But I lost my ability to handle it, almost like I got resensitized or something.

I don’t think Sandman is that bad overall, but I definitely looked away for a lot of episode 5. I thought it was better in the comics even though it was more explicitly gory, because drawn gore doesn’t affect me as much as live action gore. Neither does most gore in anime and manga(rosehiptea mentioned Elfen Lied, and that never bothered me, but then it’s more bloody than gory, and I have zero issues seeing blood), or video games. Just live action, especially with special effects getting more realistic looking. Most practical effect gore from the 20th century is more or less fine, as long as it doesn’t get Peter Jackson excessive.

I was trying not to be spoilery too much. :D
I think gore in episode 3 is a type of fun gore - it's a bit over the top, but not visceral or has any close ups. Thinking about, the thing in episode 1 wasn't that gory, but it had more emotional impact. But it's of course a matter of opinion and personal threshold.

That does make sense, I get that now :)

You are right about episode 3. It wasn’t “fun” gore for me, although that’s irrelevant because that is a subjective thing. But it wasn’t bad. And episode 1 was also not bad for me. The show is definitely toned down compared to the original comic.

Yeahhh, it is much more toned down. I am happy for it, I don't mind gore, but I do not care for it, if it makes sense. And drawn things don't look that realistic and upsetting anyway. I've never thought about the comics as something especially gory. But when you start thinking about it they totally are.

That does make sense to me. And yeah, agreed about not finding drawn things realistic enough to be upsetting, even if they are gory.

SOMEone hasn't seen Repo! The Genetic Opera.

I actually have, and I really like it. The gore was the thing I enjoyed the least about it, but it wasn’t too bad considering it was pretty much fake looking practical effects imo.

Zydrate Anatomy is my favorite song out of the whole soundtrack, that song is so infectious!

The puppet moment in Thankless Job is, I feel, genuinely fun. Also Amber's face falling off, but that might be schadenfreude because she's played by Paris Hilton who back then, was much hated.
