Coulter), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Lee Scoresby) e James Cosmo (Farder Coram). É preciso, ainda, ressaltar o magnífico trabalho dos dubladores e animadores dos daemons e do urso Yorek.

This is arguably the most used character trope in the history of fantasy. Most stories of the genre utilise it in some way. It may be subtle or they might literally be called The Chosen One. To be clear, a chosen one is someone who is selected by a force outside themselves to become the only person who is capable of resolving the plot, usually through some extraordinary circumstance that only they can trigger.Chosen Ones come in many different forms. We touch on some popular examples in the episode, outlining where they may be similar and different. Spoilers: they're almost always orphans. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, prophesied to destroy He Who Must Not Be Named (Voldemort). Lyra Belacqua, a subtle chosen one with subversive abilities and who never knows that the path she forged was destined to change multiple universes. Avatar Aang, a classic chosen one, belonging to a long line of predecessors, able to access enormous power and tasked with the fate of the world.We love a chosen one story and the idea that anyone could be plucked from obscurity and thrust into greatness. But it is also easy to write the trope poorly and create a boring character who is ridiculously skilled for someone who just picked up a sword for the first time. We look at the pitfalls of the trope, where writers get caught, and what we can learn to make the Chosen One trope work for us.If you like the show, please consider becoming a patron of Kill My Darlings on Patreon.

His Dark Materials, Tra Bussole d'Oro, Daemon, Streghe e Magisterio in una Londra Dark e OpprimenteUn serial con protagonista una bambina che non è adatto ai bambini.Questo il primo pensiero dopo aver visto la prima stagione di His Dark Materials su Sky o NowTV.La serie segue la storia dell'omonimo romanzo di Philip Pullman, che tratta della storia di Lyra Belacqua, giovane ragazzina che vive nella Oxford di un mondo parallelo.In questo universo le persone sono accompagnate da un daimon, l'anima della persona stessa che cammina al suo fianco in forma di animale, e che può mutare fino al raggiungimento della maturità, quando si stabilizzerà nel corpo di una precisa creatura. Il daimon di Lyra si chiama Pantalaimon.La ragazzina entrerà in possesso di un Aletiometro, ovvero un misuratore di verità, uno strumento rarissimo che permette di avere una risposta a tutte le domande. Lyra è l'unica persona a saper leggere l'aletiometro senza utilizzare dei libri che aiutano nella decifrazione.Per questa sua dote Lyra verrà ritenuta protagonista di una profezia, legata alla recente scoperta della Polvere, una sostanza ignota che scende dal cielo.Lyra verrà quindi braccata dalla Corte Concistoriale, e nel mentre verrà affidata alla signora Coulter. La ragazzina si imbarcherà in una serie di avventure che la condurranno fino all'Artide e a conoscere numerosi personaggi, come streghe, gyziani e orsi corazzati.Gli elementi per diventare la prossima grande serie fantasy (dopo la fine di GoT il trono di spade) ci sono tutti, ma sarà riuscito lo sceneggiatore Jack Thorne a trasporre l'opera in modo adeguato? Oppure, come per il film del 2007, sarà un flop (nonostante il cast stellare?).Beh questa prima annualità, la serie è già stata rinnovata per una seconda stagione, riesce a districarsi bene nel nuovo mondo immaginario, rende credibile molti dei personaggi e si sofferma soprattutto sulla protagonista e la sua antagonista principale.Poi arrivano tanti personaggi nuovi, storie parallele che ci si chiede quando si incroceranno, personaggi del nostro mondo, insomma con tutta questa varietà è un miracolo se alla fine della stagione si è riusciti a rendere tutto chiaro… e ci sono riusciti.Al contrario di altre serie (qualcuno ha detto The Witcher?) qui alla fine della stagione è tutto più chiaro, tutto al suo posto.Se vi piace il genere è una serie da guardare soprattutto adesso che è completamente disponibile su NowTV e può essere vista anche in stile maratona.

HBO has done a much better job of adapting Philip Pullman’s fantasy adventure series His Dark Materials than Hollywood did for 2007’s The Golden Compass, and we’ve been enjoying watching Lyra Belacqua work through the mystery of the missing children in an alternate world ruled by a restrictive theocracy. It’s hard not to be charmed by the concept of each human having their own familiar-like daemon as their animal companion, and the world-building is rich with witches, Gyptians, and armored bears.As is usual for the show topics on Sci Fi Fidelity, we discuss the first two episodes of the series and share what we think of the established character and central conflict. At first, there were some reservations that His Dark Materials was more oriented towards children with its young protagonist and “chosen one prophecy” premise, but we quickly gained appreciation for the thematic depth and attention to detail with the various culutures in this parallel world.Then we dive into the spoiler zone for some real talk about passages between worlds, the nature of Asriel’s investigation of Dust, and the fight that surely lies ahead for the Gyptians.
