I don’t think theres any true immortals in the sandman TV show universe, but theres canonically thousands in the comic. While Netflix!Dream doesn’t think anyone would want to live forever, Comic!Hob legitimately isn’t very special for living so long. Hes learned as much by the 1800s, which is why he suggests that they’re friends in the first place.

This is kind of an interesting change, actually! Simultaneously makes the world building and the character development read differently. Hob becomes lonelier, and seems more dependent on Dream when he’s apparently the only fixture, and Dreams interest in him is more obviously never just academic when there are 15 000 year old men are having entirely normal lives out there.

Interesting!

#and dream knows about the old ones. obviously.#hes even the one who gave immortality to a few others #but he doesnt befriend any of the others! just hob #and i guess he doesnt conjure memory/dream exclusive 1800s wine for any others #you guys are gonna have sooo much fun with hobs 3 minutes of season 2 screentime i think #sandman #dreamling #not rly ship content but #um. im focusing on the relationship change here bc i think thats a better Post. obviously this topples the worldbuilding a bunch #Like. burgess demand for immortality is more serious when death has done this thousands of times!
