#the second eve

[nyxanarchy]

Something something about stories and tales as a weapon against authoritarian authority, something something about a girl who is a liar destroying death with the power of telling real stories , something something about the second Eve freeing the deads by giving a name to a creature who was deemed unworthy of it.

Whilst I love the His Dark Material books, I do appreciate the show for explaining the parts of the book that I always found a bit difficult to wrap my head around: namely the prophecy and what Lyra being the second "Eve" meant.

It's hard for me to voice exactly my opinions on the original story of Adam and Eve, given I was not raised Christian and only told the basic outlines of the bible (Adam and Eve, birth and death of Jesus etc) from my primary school days at a Church of England school.

But from what I understand, Eve was the cause of "original sin/fall of man". I am purely fascinated by what exactly this means, as I can't seem to find a solid answer anywhere; but HDM (or rather the author, Philip Pullman) attempts to explain "the fall" as becoming aware of knowledge, love, and experience. Things that are associated with growing up, and moving away from childhood innocence. This was (in my opinion) quite vague in the books, so the show adds some commentary about it that I appreciate:

So that's it. Lyra as Eve is doing what her predecessor did: was tempted to experience all the good and bad that makes us human.

I'm also curious as to how Adam fit into this - Was he tempted as well, or did he follow Eve into "sin" because he wanted to remain faithful to her? Were they really like children until they became aware of everything g thanks to the fruit? Was it all a good or bad thing?

At first I thought making this crossover would be very hard, but turns out it was super fun! Especially putting in all the easter eggs.

I don’t care how ridiculous it looks in live action, Ahsoka going EV to distract the bad guys while Sabine fixes the ship is hardcore Anakin Skywalker’s former padawan behavior.

Like I can practically see Force Ghost Anakin cheering while Obi-Wan covers his eyes in horror.
