* DivineRaceLift: The comic's personification of Death is an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette. Here she is played by Black actress Creator/KirbyHowellBaptiste, and promotional images of the character [[https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1441813556962467842?s=20&t=0YEsit-Rtbu224DS9jvebA released by Netflix]] shows that she retains her actress's appearance.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The First Look trailer ends with Burgess managing to capture Dream -- a mysterious and powerful member of the Endless -- who is depicted with pale skin, black hair, and bright light above him only makes him look paler.
* FisherKing: The Date Announcement trailer has Lucien reveal that the Dreaming, formerly a bright and colorful realm, decayed in the absence of its ruler Morpheus.
* PragmaticAdaptation: The comics' dream as star-like eyes that shine with single bright points of light.
