WATCH: The Haunting Brilliance of Mason Alexander Park AKA Desire From ‘The Sandman&#8217;

The Netflix adaptation based on Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is finally online and
has received a lot of well-deserved praise. Noted as one of the most stunning
live-action renditions of comic books, the Netflix show is in the Top 10 list of
around 89 countries. Every portrayal, mortal or immortal shines on the screen,
bringing alive the beloved characters from the fantasy world. One such
performance that has definitely left a mark is by Mason Alexander Park. They
play the gorgeous, yet maliciously manipulative Desire in The Sandman.


THE SPINE-CHILLING PRESENCE OF DESIRE IN THE SANDMAN

Recently, Netflix Geeked took to Twitter and uploaded a haunting scene with
Desire from The Sandman. [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman] The tweet
was essentially a Mason Alexander Park appreciation post applauding their
soul-stirring voice and evocative embodiment of Desire. The clip shows Desire
and their twin Despair
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-will-desire-and-despair-get-more-screen-time-in-the-sandman-season-2/]
plotting against their brother, Morpheus.

Set in the ‘Threshold’, their almost art gallery-like realm, the red in the
background pops up only to be complimented by Park’s sultry voice. They plot
about bringing down their “smug brother” who believes that “his realm is
superior” to theirs. Unsurprisingly, we can see Despair almost getting convinced
about harming her own sibling. Honestly, with a voice like that, we could be
influenced into doing absolutely anything. We just wouldn’t know whether to fear
them or lust after them. Perhaps, it’s a deadly combination of the two.

WHO IS DESIRE OF THE ENDLESS?

Desire is a part of The Endles
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-beings-in-some-ways-more-powerful-than-gods-neil-gaiman-unravels-the-lore-for-the-sandman-and-who-are-the-seven-endless/]s
family in The Sandman. They are “beings in some ways more powerful than gods.”
The third youngest of the celestial family, Desire, is the metaphysical
manifestation of their name. This genderless and androgynous sibling enjoys
toying around with people around them, especially humans. In control of every
being’s deepest and darkest desire, they prey on this weakness for sport, making
them one of the most dangerous of The Endless.

Their relationship with their brother Dream is strained, to say the least. Never
on the same side of the morality debate, they are often at each other’s throats.
Desire has no respect for humans and therefore detests the holier-than-thou
personalities of their elder siblings. No wonder there is constant conflict.
Even in Netflix’s The Sandman [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman], they
always keep a close eye on Morpheus, conspiring ways to knock him off of his
high horse.

At times, they even put the king of dreams in fatal danger. For instance, in the
final episode, Dream realizes that Desire was the “man with golden eyes,” who
impregnated Unity Kincaid during her long sleep. That, in turn, gave birth to
the Dream Vortex
[https://netflixjunkie.com/whats-new-on-netflix-chronicles-of-a-dream-vortex-how-is-rose-walker-from-the-sandman-connected-to-dream-of-the-endless/]
Rose Walker, who had the potential to be the end of Morpheus.

While they might be the malicious master of puppets and a threat to everyone
around them, we, for one, cannot get enough of Desire in The Sandman. What do
you think of Mason Alexander Park as the gorgeous villain? Refresh your memory
