The Sandman Season 2 is quietly addressed to tacit mythology surrounding an important character of season 1

Warning: This article contains minor spoilers for season 2 of Sandman.The Sandman Season 2 sees the return of many support characters and clues to part of the surrounding tradition (which probably cannot be said due to copyright problems). After his return to the dream and rebuilds his power The Sandman Season 1, Tom Sturridge’s dream faces several more personal conflicts this season.

It was said that The Sandman Season 3 does not occur because the plan was always to keep the story focused on the dream, and there is only little source material that concerns it strictly. However, The first outing illustrates how delicate dreams can be, which leads to those whose existence and power complicate Dream authority on his kingdom.

The Sandman The distribution of season 2 is confirmed as including the Vansu Samunya as a Walker Rose, the dream vortex which dreams almost killed to prevent it from breaking the boundaries between dreams and reality. Pink does not appear in The Sandman Season 2, volume 1, but Her friend from the Lyta family (Razane Jammal) has something of a cameo.

In his brief scene in episode 1, Dream addresses Lyta like Hippolyta

Dream uses Lyta’s full name

In season 1, Hippolyta “Lyta” Hall is a recent widow helping pink to search for her younger brother, which is kept to him by the reception system. However, the growing powers of rose make Lyta ‘dreams much more real, because when she dreams of being with her late husband, she ends up being pregnant in the real world.

Lyta gives birth to a son, but is terrified by Dream’s assertion that the child belongs to him, as he was designed in the dream kingdom. This plot point is not followed in season 1, but When Dream is preparing for a mission in hell in season 2, he pays an unwelcome visit to Lyta and the baby.

This is apparently part of Dream’s plan to ensure the future of the dream if it does not come back. However, during this scene, Dream addresses Lyta by his full name, Hippolyta. Those who do not know the comics may not know that it is her name before, and this nods to the mythology to which it is connected.

Lyta is the daughter of Diana Prince and Steve Trevor in the comics (and the original granddaughter of Hippolyta)

Lyta is linked to the Queen of Amazons in the comics of Sandman

Greek mythology plays a huge role in The SandmanAs the dream is also Morpheus, The Greek God of Dreams. Thus, the fact that Lyta shares her name with Hippolyta, the Queen of Amazons in Greek mythology, is significant and can let viewers wonder how she is exactly in this myth.

Netflix uses a whole new version strategy for the last season of Sandman

Netflix takes out the Sandman in two parts, with another bonus episode to come, a bit like the way he manages his other major shows today.

However, The Sandman The comics are in fact DC Comics, And featured some of the famous DC heroes. Lyta is the daughter of the classic DC hero Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, and was appointed for Diana’s mother, the original hippolyte. Lyta’s first appearance as a character was Wonderful woman flight. 1, number # 300.

The Sandman cannot use DC characters – but it always refers to the mythology of Hippolyta

Lyta’s name has a meaning in this story

The Sandman The television show does not take place in the largest DC universe; In order to concentrate its history and probably avoid the complicated problems of copyright, the series has no reference to the characters strictly DC. For characters like Lyta, this means that their links with characters like Wonder Woman are erased.

However, Lyta’s formal name always has a little weight The Sandman. In the first half of season 2, when the dream commissions A summer night dream To present to the Faire Court, we briefly see the players acting a scene where the version of Hippolyta’s play is approached by its name.

Presumably, in this world, Lyta’s parents just liked the mythological name. However, The Sandman recognizes the link with mythology. Lyta ended up on a strange path where she came into contact with old gods, which makes it appropriate that she would have such a name, even by coincidence.
