James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson's INTENSE revelation scene | His Dark Materials 

One of my favourite scenes between these two which even impressive is the fact this didn’t happen in the book. Not exactly like this. The writing from BBC and how they adapted Asriel and Marisa’s relationship was nothing short of masterful. We have the clash of egos in this scene. Asriel’s fanatical mission vs Marisa’s need for power. Both are just as intelligent but complete megalomaniacs. I think what this scene does well is display their egos but also their weaknesses. Marisa’s is her love for Lyra and what she will do for her. Asriel’s is emotion in general. When he is removed from Marisa and Lyra he is stoic and powerful but when exposed to people he deep down cares for, he becomes vulnerable, which he despises! BBC, James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson, you’re awesome❤

The fact that lyra’s best parent figures have been anyone but her parents

"Why can't you just be who I want you to be?!". Who hasn't asked that question??

As someone who haven’t read the books, this scene was so intense. Like, are they going to hurt each other? Kiss? Confess their love/hatred? Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy played Marisa and Asriel’s complicated relationship so well, I genuinely wish we got to see more of them- or even better, how they’d be “better parents” to Lyra should they were given the chance (though, I can’t really see them living in a mundane life),

I love the way this man talks. intense, passionate

Love the fact, that this scene is more from the theatre than nowadays a tv series.

Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy are just outstanding👏👏👏

Sheez James McAvoy is one of the most compelling actors of his generation ❤

Just here to watch Ruth’s and James’ superb acting! 👏🏼👏🏼 Hope they will have a movie together.

“Why can’t just be what I want you to be?” DID HE REALLY SAID THAT TO HER. He is the worst!!!!

This series exposed so much that went over so many heads! One of the best shows EVER

What a wonderful series, a huge thank you to everyone involved!

I recently started watching this series and it is absolutely mesmerising to watch! The attention to details, sets and plot development is so wonderful to follow. This scene is probably a huge spoiler but it was so well acted I did not care:) Ruth Wilson is magnificent as Mrs Coulter..

Their scenes are electrifying… they’re astonishingly good.

Ruth Wilson could read a phone book and I would watch her do it happily . There is NOTHING she has performed in that I don't love her performance. Mostly I forget she is performing and just believe she is the character.

Two incredible actors !

The twisted thing is how these two are really the only possible match for the other. Both so intelligent and stubborn, and both so psychologically messed up in different ways; no one knows either of them as well as the other (besides their daemons of course).

OMG when he says “I’ve sacrificed so much” at 1:02, his voice a whisper. Let’s just be honest and say that if this series was so great, it was for how James and Ruth portrait these two faulty parents. This is by far the best scene in the whole show - along, of course, with their final meeting in season 1.

James mcavoy is a very talented actor he can change his personality to a comidian a dark person a normal person wish him all luck I would cast as lex luthor or 17th dr who and list can goes

(Spoilers for season 3!) I remember reading the book, and feeling utterly heartbroken. Right before the final battle, they both acknowledge that they should have raised Lyra, with even Mrs Coulter saying, 'We should have raised her ourselves', and then them agreeing that this battle is to keep their daughter safe. IT WAS SO SAD!

Ruth Wilson knocks it out the park for me

Impressive Dialogue .. well done

Damn she was right Asriel is a failure for a father

God he's brilliant.

The high quality acting of this spat is comparable to the drunken on screen fights between Burton and Taylor. Riveting!

Great series, loved it so much!

oh lord this scene,,,

James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson

what happened to the frame rate?

Happy New Year 2023 🇮🇩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Lord Asriel

The only good scenes in season 3 were of those two. Sad ending, no peace of soul forever:-(

Which episode was this in

Well, the best actor/actress in the world is Meryl Streep. The second best? Without contest - Ruth Wilson.

"... didn't create anything. Not you or I..." You or ME! It's an object! You wouldn't say "he didn't create I!" I swear, this weird campaign against the word "me" is a disease.

They weren't bad books. I don't particularly like the series though, for some reason.

Shit I thought that was Liam Neeson for a sec 😆

She has a mouth like marge Simpson

I'm distracted by her upper lip. It sticks way out.

Remember God loves you♥️! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏🙏. He is coming back soon🥳😊♥️........
