Neil gaiman terry pratchett death6/2/2023 In presenting each of these two versions of Death side by side, the differences are marked: although both wear black, one presents as a female and the other as male, one wears a helmet while the other never covers her face, and one has dark skin while the other is only bone. Even among other depictions of death in media such as Lady Death, who was teased in Thor: Love and Thunder, these two iterations are unique in certain ways. His face is seldom seen behind a dark biker’s helmet, and while he can be witty and charming, he still holds a fearsome skeletal countenance and interacts most comfortably with his fellow horseman. Meanwhile, the portrayal of Death (Brian Cox/Jamie Hill) in Good Omens primarily serves as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse summoned by the coming of Adam (Sam Taylor Buck) the antichrist. Instead, she is affable and empathetic, and of her siblings she is perhaps the most connected to humanity. In Gaiman’s conception of Death, she is the second oldest after Destiny, but of The Sandman's characters she behaves with none of the gravitas and formal presentation of her younger brother, Morpheus (Tom Sturridge). In The Sandman, Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) is one of the seven Endless, conceptual entities embodying experiences that have existed since the first instance of sentience.
