History YMMV / TheSandman2020

*** Wanda's original storyline involves her being rejected for the Moon's road because the Moon doesn't consider her a real woman [[StrawFeminist (or so Thessaly says)]] [[spoiler:and dies because she's stuck in the building when a storm hits New York]]. In the adaptation, she stays behind of her own accord because someone needs to protect an unconscious Barbie and she's physically the strongest of the cast. The transmisogyny that's left is clearly condemned by the narrative -- and by Wanda, who is more assertive about her identity and uses more positively reaffirming language.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: While the comic was always FairForItsDay when it came to LGBTQ representation, it has faced a bit of criticism for some InnocentlyInsensitive moments -- particularly when it comes to trans and non-binary people. The audio drama has modernized and updated some of these aspects.
** In the comics, Desire is referred to as an "it" on occasion. The Audible adaptation consistently uses "they/them" pronouns.
** Aspects of "A Game of You" have since been considered unintentional transmisogyny.

*** The part about Maisie Hill's trans grandchild running away and being found murdered is also omitted, probably to avoid the BuryYourGays implications of a story where every trans person that is even mentioned ends up dying horribly.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/RayPorter, who does many voices in the Audible audiobook, including Wesley Dodds and Hector Hall, would be heard the following year in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' as Darkseid.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: While the comic was always FairForItsDay when it came to LGBTQ representation, it has faced a bit of criticism for some InnocentlyInsensitive moments -- particularly when it comes to trans and non-binary people, with Desire being referred to as an "it" on occasion, and of course Wanda's storyline in "A Game of You," which features quite a bit of unintentional transmisogyny. The Audible adaptation consistently uses they/them pronouns for Desire, and a lot of the unintentional transmisogyny has been removed from "A Game of You"; crucially, instead of Wanda not being able to take the Moon's road with the other women because (so Thessaly says) the Moon doesn't see her as a real woman, she stays behind of her own accord because someone needs to protect Barbie.
