Iorek in the balloon lol <3
I feel like the daemon cage scene could have been stronger? This kind of goes back to them not quite hitting the relationship with Pan as much as they should. Lyra was screaming "let me out, let me out", when it should have been "let us out, don't take my heart, my soul from me!" (in the book. With her crying and screaming and trying to reach Pan)
Not to talk up the movie lol. But I think in terms of Lyra and Pan, the movie built the relationship more strongly (at this point).
Compare this and even though Lyra isn't as fierce as she could be, it's just Pan and Lyra yelling that they'll never be separated, you can't take us away from each other, etc.
I'm still really loving this but they're not quite putting in the work on the daemon relationships. It's not about more on the screen, it's just about the ones we need to be more prominent.
They've built Lyra's love for Roger, Lee, Iorek, Ma Costa more strongly, I feel.
Anyway. Still love this. They said they've wrapped on Subtle Knife recently so that's awesome. Let's get Amber Spyglass going 👏
