WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS In the lead in the first two episodes of His dark materials Season 3.
His dark materials It’s officially back for its third and final season, with the two-part premiere that has paid off on Season 2 finale cliffhangers Lyra and Will are finally reunited, after Mrs. Coulter tries (and fails) to keep her daughter and Asriel assembles his armies to take power. Of the main characters who were actually conscious for both hours, Will was the only one who made it his top priority and saved Lyra, but it came at a cost: the invisible knife broke, and if that wasn’t enough, he suffered a new trauma on top of all the others.
What will he do in the show?
After recruiting allies in the form of the angel Baltamos and armored bear Yorick Bernison, Will manages to locate Mrs. Coulter drugging Lyra and holding her captive. Unfortunately for all of them, Father Gomez catches up with them, and Mrs. Coulter has to distract him (eventually break his head with a rock) while Will uses the knife to cut Lyra, capture Pan, and attempt to escape.
Mrs. Coulter apparently thought Will was there to save them both, and her attempt to manipulate him by mentioning his mother distracted him so much that he broke the knife. She then shows her true colors and pulls the unconscious Father Gomez’s gun on Will, before Lyra steps between them.
It was not clear exactly how the confrontation would resolve until Mrs. Coulter was stung by Gallivespian spy Lady Salmakia, who fell to the ground and dropped the gun. Will picks it up, inadvertently preparing himself for the shock to come. With Lyra still sluggish from the anesthesia, they are confronted by a soldier with a gun too large to aim at both of them, and I’ll shoot him dead.
He looks terrified for a few moments, but he and Lyra have to flee, so he drops the weapon and they hack into another world. Although he seemed fairly fine, he was very emotional at night when they were trying to sleep, and I took his hand to comfort him. Will killed again, and he never wanted to.
Amir Wilson smashes it: ‘It was self-defense’
Although this wasn’t the first time Will had caused someone’s death, Amir Wilson played his character in a very different head space than Will bucked before he met Lyra. It was clear from his performance that Will didn’t just get away with what he did with the gun, but is that something he’ll stick with for the remaining six episodes?
Amir Wilson and Daphne Keen spoke with CinemaBlend about His dark materials Beside their characters’ priorities in the final season. When I asked if this death will continue for Will as the season goes on, Kane was quick to note that he didn’t do it in a “fatal way,” and Wilson broke it off.
This time he was killing someone on purpose rather than killing someone by mistake. It was self-defense, of course. I’m a nice guy but fun. I find it amusing to be able to fake shooting someone on set. I found it amusing to be able to shoot the stuntmen on set. Great time to do this.
Although Will blamed himself, he killed the intruder back in Season 1 by accident, when he introduced the show. A huge (and excellent) change from Philip Pullman’s book trilogy By including it in the adaptation golden compass. This time, he picked up the gun and deliberately used it to kill another person, and the fact that it was self-defense didn’t make it any easier to fall asleep. Prince Wilson had more fun with him as an actor than as a character! He went:
In terms of personality, he always sticks with you. I think killing someone will always stick with you, and Will will get himself into all this mess because he accidentally killed someone. So I think the answer to your question is, yes, it still stuck with it.
Well, Executive Producer Dan McCulloch said that show pre-planned for More from the final season of “Adults” For Will and Lyra! Both of them have already been through the wringer in just two episodes, and they haven’t even been to the Land of the Dead (which has been teased in the trailers) yet! Will is shocked that he killed someone, and then the emotion he tries not to show eventually leads to a shocking start to the final season for one of the young heroes.
But is that what happened in the book? Well, readers of the Philip Pullman trilogy know that there have been a lot of changes since the beginning, but there were some very specific differences that are worth noting in this case.
Warning: spoilers ahead for chapter 13 of the amber speculumand nothing more.
How his dark ores changed would kill from the amber spectacle
Although there are changes in the lead-up to the confrontation between Will and Mrs. Coulter and how he obtained the gun, he still takes it from Mrs. Coulter when he and Lyra escape in the book. On the page, while Lyra was “still dazed” from the drugs, they ran into some soldiers, and that’s how she fell:
[Their] The commander was raising his bow, and Will had no other choice: he swung the gun, clenched his right hand on his butt and pulled the trigger, the blast shaking his bones, but the bullet found the man’s heart. The soldier fell as if he had been kicked by a horse.
How you’ll kill the guy in the book isn’t actually much different from how it’s adapted in the show, except facing a soldier with a crossbow versus facing a soldier with a very large gun. In both novels, Will is killed out of self-defense with no other choice if he was to get himself and Lyra away, and the two children immediately run to a window and flee to another world as fast as they can.
This is where the similarities more or less end. While it seems like Will’s show kept calm and continued to show and only started to show his emotions in the dark when Lyra might have been sleeping, the writers couldn’t keep his emotions in check. Philip Pullman wrote:
And the first thing Will did was grab his stomach and back, rising and swaying with deathly terror. They were two men now that he had killed them, not to mention the young men in the Tower of Angels… He didn’t want this will. His body rebelled against what his instinct made him do, and the result was a dry, sour, agonizing wave of bowing and vomiting until his stomach and heart were empty. Lyra watched helplessly nearby.
Will “crawled with mortal terror” while Lyra “watched helplessly” is definitely not what happened on the show, as he seemed to somewhat manage to hoard his feelings until it got dark, and she took his hand. It’s not the first time (nor will it be the last) that the show has changed a major character scene from the book, and the show’s version arguably makes more sense for the ages of the two characters in season 3.
in amber speculumBoth children are about 12-13 years old. His dark materials They don’t mention their ages in Season 3, but it seems safe to say that Daphne Keen and Prince Wilson don’t play 12. An older Will may be trying to hold up more of an extreme reaction than a younger Will. What is true in both cases is that he killed a man because he had to, but he feels guilty because of it. This was not a development that I would include on my list Book moments that shouldn’t have been cut from season threebut is still very important to Will’s character.
Find out how much the killing continues to affect Will (or not) in the next two episodes of His dark materials, airing Monday, December 12 at 9 PM ET on HBO. Executive Producer Jane Tranter pondered why fans were so excited Getting around more than one episode a weekAnd there’s a lot more in store for all of the characters. James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson opened About Asriel and Mrs. Coulter’s relationshipwhich is a completely different level of complexity compared to Lyra and Will.
