One of the Eternals that was conspicuous by its absence in the first season of The Sandman is Destiny, although this has an explanation according to the comics.
The Sandman finally made the leap from cartoons to live-action with a series that has captivated fans of Neil Gaiman’s story, who despite being faithful to the original material noticed that one of the Eternals did not appear, and we We mean destination.

Destiny is the eldest of the Eternals, he is blind and chained to a great tome known as the Cosmic Record, which contains the sum of all existence in its pages. Destiny possesses an unwavering certainty and equanimity, but lacks any ability to change or be spontaneous.
In the comics Fate was the first Eternal to be published, as it was not created by Neil Gaiman. The British author took up the idea created by Marv Wolfman and Bernie Wrightson, originally published in Weird Mystery Tales # 1 (Aug, 1972).
Destiny’s first appearance within the Sandman story was in the pages of The Sandman #7, when the eternal reads about the dispute that Johnny Dee and Morpheus have, when the maniac has the dream gem and commits the murders in the Cafeteria.
If the Eternals call a family gathering, Destiny acts as host. He and Death will be the last Eternals to leave existence when the universe dies.
We have no doubt that Destino will make its live-action debut in the second season of The Sandman.
