Panto: My name is Panto Trost, Lord Prince of the Valley of Inglenook in the Land of Wendimoor. The prophecy as retold by Panto Trost (in episode 2.03 Two Broken Fingers ): She wears a big triangular hat of multicolored mottled fabric, with straw sticking out to the top and side points, and with curled horns on top (the horns might be part of her body). Wakti wears heavy robes out of multiple layers of cloth, brown and mottled green, with finer lilac cloth underneath that peeks out of her sleeves and collar. She has large irises of a bright green color a feature that is mirrored on Mona Wilder (in human or toy shape) when Wakti uses her eyes. Her skin is a dark greyish color, her face heavily structured and with a barbel each dangling from next to the sides of her mouth. She has two arms that each end in a pair of hands, arranged palm to palm. Wakti Wapnasi is humanoid creature she is several times referred to as a snail. Wakti was resurrected when the Boy, Francis, restored Wendimoor she is shown meeting him in her home. She helped Panto Trost get to the world of Bergsberg. She lived in a hut in the village of the Bofuki Nepoo. Dirk showcases these, and says, ‘Here are all these weirdos and they’re the leads of this show, and they’re amazing.Wakti Wapnasi was a forest witch in Wendimoor. “These are things I think we try to hide and not really embrace. “ Dirk gives people permission to celebrate their weirdness, celebrate their oddities,” series star Jade Eshete (Farah) told us at SDCC. Just the stakes are so ridiculous and things don’t make sense, but they do, and, as an actor, you really get to swing for the fences every time.” Speaking about the “quirk” factor of the show, Labine, who will be playing well-intentioned cop character Sherlock Hobbs, said: “It feels like we’re shooting a live-action cartoon. This comes from the mind of Max Landis, and that’s an original mind.” A lot of shows that are successful right now or that people tune into have originality. “The originality,” said Tudyk, who will be playing Blackwing bounty hunter Mr. Two familiar genre faces on the scene are Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine. Everything has to cause them struggle,’ it makes subversions because no one’s a badass.”ĭirk Gently will be adding to its cast of not-badass characters in Season 2. And writing that… it causes subversions, even if you don’t mean to because if I go into it thinking, ‘Everything has to be hard. “That element of being deliberately subversive and attacking tropes,” Landis continues, “especially of having a lead cast of characters who are not equipped to deal with what they’re dealing with, and who fail at dealing with it, constantly. In a peak TV landscape filled with competency porn, where main characters are hardly ever allowed to be fallible, even and perhaps especially when they are anti-heroes, Dirk Gently refuses to fall in line. This may be a fantastical world, but it is never a world without struggle or consequences. My stuff that I do subconsciously - there are repeating themes in my work, if you look - but a lot of them are deliberate subversions.” “I still use formulas and there are secret formulas. “Everything in Dirk is an attack on formula,” show creator Max Landis told us at New York Comic Con when we asked about the formula-busting content of his show. It is TV therapy for a pop culture moment where, in the rush to get out as much content as possible, networks and studios are increasingly relying on formula to get eyeballs to their on-screen stories. It is a palate cleanser for all of the tropey, formula-driven shows you are watching elsewhere. This isn’t just a mistake because of the wonderful zaniness of the show in its own right, but because Dirk Gently is the perfect show to watch in the age of peak television and content. If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly behind on television, so much so that you might have let Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, the Douglas Adams-based dramedy starring Elijah Wood and Samuel Barnett, slip through the cracks when it premiered last year.
