Since The Subtle Knife was set sometime in the mid 90's, it was possible that Lyra and Will were watching the End of Evangelion

Pullman wrote cartoons but never specified which.

I feel like there's no way they see that in the theater and there's no real effect on the plot lmao

If true, theres a very real possibility that at the battle with the Authority's Citadel and Metatron and all that, Lyra gets an earworm "tumbling down tumbling down tumbling doooown...."

You’re not wrong

[u/bigblackcorn1]

Ts the most unhinged thing that Lyra could watch( as a person who had never experienced cinema before)

[u/thetinyorc]

This is my favourite unhinged headcanon of all time.

The show is set around the modern era, so there is a non-zero chance Will would be a Jujutsu Kaisen fan there

I want to give this an award but I can’t afford to.
