I kinda like how they changed lyras and her moms hair color in both the film and tv show to match each other. I remember being confused when in the book it was revealed that SPOILER she and lord azriel are her parents, cuz they were both described as dark, and having black hair, and well she is blonde. But in a book i feel like this is less of a deal because many readers kinda forget physical appearnce, but in a movie where u see it continuously its better this way cuz it makes more sense. EDIT: please if you want to inform me that it is possible for two people with black hair to have a blonde child, I know that it is. But thanks to everyone who chimed in, I did not know that it was this usual, i thought it would be super rare. Have a nice day! :)

Lyra still can't be their child though, since two blue eyed parents can't have a brown eyed baby and in the show they both have blue eyes and she has brown.

I wish they'd given Lyra her dark blonde hair but I thlnk she's doing great in terms of acting and imo Mrs Coulter is the best cast character (after Lee of course, I love Lee, he's great)

When I was a kid, I read Lord Asriel as a black character. He's described as having black eyes, black hair and "dark features". I thought that people knew that Lyra was Asriel's kid and not Mr Coulters because she was darker skinned than her mother or potential father. Its been a long time since I read any of the books, so I don't recall if any of the skin tones are actually mentioned in-universe, I just remember the film coming out in 2007 and not caring at all for most of the characters :/ the HBO version while I'm not keen on some of the characters physical appearances (including James as Asriel) the acting is outstanding in my opinion, and I'm glad we're getting to explore perspectives beyond just Lyra's or Will's. Learning more about Mrs Coulters traumatic childhood and her abusive relationship with her dæmon? Wow
@chartreusephoenix6581 3 жыл бұрын
Okay spoiler warning. You have been warned. Lee I personally loved Lin’s performance of Lee. He was this young scrappy man who for a while didn’t really care about anyone outside of himself. When Lyra comes into his life he becomes like a father to her. And his death was one of if not the most emotion things I’ve ever read. Someone young playing him would give much more power to his death. Sam Elliott’s performance(which I loved), showed Lee as more of a old man, who had already lived his life. Lin’s performance showed a young man with so much of his life ahead of him. Lord Asriel I personally feel that James McAvoy played Asriel much better. He delivered the powerful dangerousness of the character. I honestly can’t picture Craig’s Asriel killing Roger. I might add more

Tbf Will is also described as dark haired and eyed with a strong jaw, Pullman really only describes characters as necessary and to a bare minimum, as if the characters got strong impressions of certain aspects; Wills jaw, Lyra's eyes, Asriel's tall and foreboding figure, or Mrs. Coulters scent; but overlooked others which, does happen in everyday life.

I'm currently reading the book and yes from the description I imagined lord Asriel to be black and I imagined Lyra to have brownish skin (I was spoiled and knew Mrs Coultier was her mother and Lord Asriel was her father so I put their skin colors together) or tanned skin because she's quite adventurous so I assumed she would be out in the sun alot.

The reason we get those 'dad' scenes is (I think) so we get to bond with Lord Asriel so we feel his betrayal as heavily as Lyra does. In the book we get to see tons of Lyra's thoughts about him, how much she admires and trusts him. But we can't get that in the show, so they have to find other ways to get you to have feelings towards him.

I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but the first book is actually called The Northern Lights... When it was adapted into a movie, they changed it to "The Golden Compass" because the studio thought that was a more interesting title to audiences and with the release of the movie came the re-release of the book with the movie title and movie poster for the front cover. The BBC/HBO show is called His Dark Materials because that's the name of the trilogy as a whole.

i presonally think that the tv show lyra was perfect because her character was exactly like how I imagined her reading the book and honestly they didn't really describe her looks in the book as something that really mattered. watchign the colden compas however, they made her look pretty much exactly how the book describes her but in my opinion her personality was completely different. I also think that Ruth Wilson embodied Mrs Coulter perfectly I absolutely adore the way she made her character in the book. I think generly all the actors in the tv show are almost exactly how I imaged them, this is just me personally but I really think they did a great job on the his dark materials tv show but I thin the golden compass move was a bit less good, but it was made earlier so it was bound to be worse in some way.this might sound slitgtly controversial ono. i absolutely love the franchise and i really do recommend it. edit: I also really don't like the actually compass design in the alithiomiter move idk I just really don't like it (maybe its because I watched the tv show before the movie xd)

Fun fact: the reason the movie didn't kill Roger is because it was bought by the catholic church to prevent them from making the sequels because of the religious elements.
@Schlachtenhase 4 ай бұрын
nah, that's not true. the catholic church wasn't keen on a lot of movies, rarely if ever stopped them from getting made. the director wanted to start the second movie with the scene of Roger being killed, cuz he thought it work better that way. the reason no second film was made was financial. Either because the first one just didn't make as much as they were hoping for, which is pretty important in the midst of a financial crisis, and/or because the production company had safer, "more important" options lined up, such as the hobbit.
