"I was flattered by it. That's how stories work. Stories are made out of other stories. I borrowed things for His Dark Materials. He [Russell T. Davies] took my ending and twisted it to fit his story. That's fine." -philip pullman, 2007

his dark materials >>> doctor who series 2 [part 1 | part 2 | part 3]

“what’s the most horrendously 2012 fancast you can imagine for the first book if the movie didn’t exist”

“You control those Spectres as if they’re your playthings.”

reasons to watch hdm

protagonists are a young girl and a black teenage boy

several prominent male characters cry on screen

both protagonists are guided by their own goodness, and it is for this reason that they are the focus of the narrative

seeing the perspective of a child's view of the world vs the adults that disregard their voices

women in science

discussion of the morality of science co-existing with religion

female antagonists

teenage characters are played by teenagers of the same age

kids defeat evil through methods only children would use (snowball fights, screaming, hiding, running)

several black characters have a large role in the story, many in positions of authority and with independent character arcs

family is chosen but biological family can be just as powerful

very good casting/acting of family members down to certain mannerisms being mirrored by parents and children

solid good vs evil narrative but also everyone is morally ambiguous

it's a denouncement of organised religion while highlighting the value of faith

freedom of thought! truth! building paradise where you already are!

the title sequence goes incredibly hard

a love letter to the power of kindness and stories
