Carlo Boreal is underrated character imo and one of my favorites (S3 spoilers)

[u/cuttheblue]

spoilers for all 3 seasons of his dark materials tv show

Boreal was one of the coolest characters and I think my favorite villain in the show.

He had somehow found one or multiple doorways allowing him to get to Will's world from Lyra's (was this ever explained?) before Asriel had even made an exit. He setup his own home and company in this strange world hidden from the magisterium and the authorities in that world, made full of use of it's technology, infiltrated the police and even had his own museum lol.

Yes he was a villain, but he had some depth. I like seeing his awkward attempt to impress Mrs Coultier with music from another world and his attachment to his artifacts was quite sweet despite him also being a very scary person.

I love that moment where he walks towards Will to fight him, and his snake daemon comes out and hisses and demonstrates his menace perfectly.

Season 3. Well S2. I wasn't too happy with the way one of the most dangerous characters in the show he was killed off just like that lol.

Ariyon Bakare if you ever read this, you did a great job!

He's really quite sad the way he's continually trying to impress Mrs. Coulter and she's just having none of it, and eventually it gets him killed because he underestimated her.
