    Just finished watching third season today.
    I absolutely loved everything: the cast, the sets, the music, the vfx.
    They’ve changed some things, but overall it’s very loyal to the books. I especially was captured by Ruth Wilson and how she portrayed mrs Coulter. Her relationship with her daemon is so complex and sometimes scary that I got the chills, sitting there watching it. And that monkey is so well acted out by VFX and puppeteer that I couldn’t decide if I hated it or felt sorry for it.
    Thank you, all who made this, for telling this story and for caring about doing it right.
    From a long time fan of the books. ❤

    Ngl I am sad the Mulefa and the Gallivespians (the tiny people with the dragonfly wings) didn't get much of the spotlight, but I understand that a huge portion of the budget went to the Land of the Dead and the show's version of the Battle on the Plain, and those needed all the help they could get to do the book justice. I miss the subtle tidbits of their culture and worldbuilding though.

    • @GrandHighGamer
      @GrandHighGamer 6 місяців тому

      Probably a bunch of reasons. Keeping it 'earthier' reinforces the symbiosis with the earth. Mary didn't take anything with her to make a spyglass, and it certainly doesn't look like the Mulefa would be able to make telescopes either. And ultimately it's not like she really benefits from a zoom setting. They'd probably need to dedicate a whole montage to her building it that wouldn't add to anything, and ultimately she doesn't really need a lens at all, just a relatively smooth piece enough not to distort anything.

      They couldn't make the book version work, somethings in print don't come out in reality. It's the way things go, they did try to do it that way but they felt the result would spoil the image of the mulefas. So, they were forced to adapt it. Evidently Philip Pullman was still satisfied with it. Some things just can't be designed.
