His Dark Materials

You ever dive into 'His Dark Materials' and think, 'Wow, this is basically a fantasy buffet where you can’t decide if you want adventure or existential dread?' I mean, you've got daemons, parallel worlds, and a 12-year-old girl who’s more badass than most adults I know. But let's be honest, the real struggle is explaining to your friends why you're suddenly obsessed with talking armored bears. Like, they think it’s just a cute story, but no, it’s a whole philosophical deep dive disguised in magic! Why can't we just admit we’re all a bit obsessed with Dust and the fact that it makes Oxford’s fantasy scene look like child's play? Choose a side, people! You’re either in or out on the metaphysics of your soul hanging out with a talking animal. No middle ground!
