Since August 5, 2022, when it started to be streamed on Netflix, The Sandman has gotten all the attention a TV show can get. The much-anticipated series has been at or near the top of the charts all over the world.
People are saying that it is one of the best new TV shows because it does Neil Gaiman’s 1988 comic and his vision for it justice.
The show is different from other fantasy shows because, even though there are godly powers, it focuses on the goodness and potential of people.
I’d say either Dream vs Lucifer or the entire conversation between Dream and Death in ‘Sound of Her Wings’. #RenewSandman https://t.co/jbIhMkHMcO pic.twitter.com/ijOjirFkLu

Even though the show has a lot of “wow” moments, the fight between the Dream of the Endless and the Ruler of Hell might be the one that people remember for the rest of their lives.

A glance at Lucifer and Dream filming the battle
Still looking at Fans got a sneak peek at the fight between the two rulers by watching a behind-the-scenes clip on the Netflix YouTube channel.
The video compares the real scene to how it was filmed using different camera angles and visual effects (VFX).
In the fourth episode of The Sandman, “A Hope in Hell,” Dream had to fight Lucifer Morningstar, who is the ruler of hell, to get his magical helmet back.
Choronzon, a demon, took Dream’s helmet, and in the fight, he chose Lucifer to be his champion. The main character and the ruler of Hell decided to play the Oldest Game. If Dream loses, he will be a slave in Hell for all of the time.
What is the Oldest Game in The Sandman?
In The Oldest Game, supernatural powers use their sharpness as their weapons in a battle that is easy to spot. The game got more interesting as the two players had to deal with the physical effects of their attacks on each other.
Dream and Lucifer keep talking about things like animals, bacteria, the world, the universe, and anti-life.
Ruler of the Hell hits a home run by bringing up anti-life, which gets Dream of the Endless into trouble.
But just as he’s about to lose, he says something about hope that stumps Lucifer. It wouldn’t have been easy to film this scene with both of the opponents showing off their supernatural powers.
