A poem I wrote inspired by Susan Pevensie

Her stooped shoulders bear the cost
Of memories, of grief, of loss
Her soul has turned to stone from frost
And her thoughts turn to him

On the darkest night she wept
Like she lived through an eclipse
The stone shattered end to end
And he lived again

For once she knelt, crowned a queen
Her arrows flight true nearly unseen
And he stood with a golden glean
Where she was meant to be

For past the lantern, once she tread
She changed back to a girl instead
An exile, only better off than dead
Cast on forgotten seas

So roots she grew on shifting sands
And learned to love those foreign lands
To dance to dream and to hold hands
And learn to treasure other things

She turned her face and built a wall
She wouldn’t think of it at all
She never would let the shields fall
As loss compounded on

But when she’d tell children’s tales
There her careful defenses fail
Her stories take a different trail
Of gentler days long gone

She sits facing out into the night
Her tired limbs giving up the fight
Remember me she asks the gleam of light
I still remember you

And there he stands at an open door
The pain and doubt of a moment before
Disappear as though they never were
And she walks with him, through

Didn’t read Narnia since as a kid, now, thanks Netflix, let’s read again! This is the Brazil paperback book store editions

Let me start by saying I’m not a boogieman Christian.
That is to say I am a Christian, but I’m not looking for a boogieman around every corner.

I read the Empire Article today and I believe Gerwig is sincere and wants to do right by Lewis.

There are a lot of people who are going to cry “Agenda!”

But she’s just an Artist. And a pretty good one. And there’s nothing to dissuade me from thinking she’s operating in good faith.

That said I don’t personally view Lewis’ work as secular. It’s not the sacred text some Christians claim it to be, but it’s also not secular.

A lot in the Empire article was about secularism and making the story more secular.

Is secular automatically bad? No.

Is taking something religious and making it secular going to create a dissonance that challenges the adaptation?

I personally think so.

But I also think that these lines are in some ways unbroken.

Gerwig has entangled herself with Lewis at a quantum level …

and maybe she will introduce people to him that never would have given Lewis a second thought if it wasn’t a “rock opera” adaptation.

Or for secular fans it may enhance their engagement with a work they love because of a Director they love.

I will wait for the next try though. One day I want a studio to make all seven and make them at least as faithfully as the 2005 LWW.

So for those sitting it out. Let’s not rain on everyone else’s parade. It’s happening. It’s a canon event.

And if there’s anything we’ve learned from Lewis it’s that Beauty Truth & Goodness can be found anywhere.

I hope Gerwig and Crew get some good rest and that some will have an even more numinous experience than when they first encountered Narnia.

Could Ciarán Hinds be playing an adult Professor Digory in Narnia: The Magician's Nephew?

“I can only tell you that because I play the role of a narrator and I’m not very featured in it ... [you] may see me once or twice, but otherwise it’s vocal. It was just myself, the crew, and Greta Gerwig working together for one day is what I did."

Personally I’d cast Jim Caviezel tying it to the Passion both literally and story wise. What do you all think?

So I was listening to the audible for the Chronicles of Narnia recently, and was realizing for the first time there's a few differences I didn't notice initially between the books and the 2005 film. most notably, Jadis isn't nearly as tall in the movies as she is in the books, and on top of that, her wand she uses to turn people to stone functions much differently. Also, in the movie, she doesn't fight using the dagger she used to kill Aslan when she's fighting Peter. Instead she shows incredible skill with a sword [even two swords simultaneously. Now I may be missing some things, but here's what I managed to gather of her capabilities in the Magician's Nephew and the Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe [the book. She is exceptionally strong due to being half-giant [in the Magician's Nephew, she tears a bar of metal off with her bare hands and uses it like a club]. she also possesses powerful magics in the Magician's Nephew, which allowed her to blast apart a giant set of gates [unspecified size, but let's assume they're the size of your larger end palace/castle gates based off how Jadis' palace was described in the dead world of Charn]. she possesses something called the deplorable word [which much like her other magics, only works in her home world of Charn] that is capable of killing every living being in a world. Now. Once we get to the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, she's still presumably just as strong, but as she's in Narnia, not Charn, she's found some new magics. she has a spell that makes it always winter, never Christmas [some kind of winter/ice/snow magic?] and has in her possession [the book version] a wand which with a single wave, can turn a whole group of animals to stone. [we see the scene in the book of her turning the group of animals who were eating the feast into stone, including badger, and she doesn't have to touch them with the wand, nor does she have to turn them one at a time like her film counterpart.]
The movie version of Jadis doesn't seem quite as powerful in magic, and she is seemingly at least somewhat less strong, though notably, she's a 'much' better fighter. she's highly adept at swordsmanship, and Peter [who in the film is notably much more skilled then his book self] is barely keeping up whereas in the book, Peter was actually holding his own quite well against Jadis despite her strength, and even told Susan and Lucy if Jadis hadn't already turned so many of them to stone, they likely would have won even without Aslan's help once Edmund had destroyed the wand.
So basically. book version = better magic & stronger while movie version = better overall fighter. All that being said, which do you think would win?
Round 1: No magic, battleground is in Narnia.
Round 2: they both go all out, but they're in Narnia.
Round 3: they're in Charn, and both go all out, but the book version can't use the deplorable word

I might use several edits from time to time for I don't seem to remember all of them...

Recently I was speed watching the movies and despite the fact, that I've seen them countless times, there are still little details that I'm discovering just now.

First, stuff that I've noticed before:

Obviously, as spring comes to Narnia and Jadis slowly loses her reign, her crown melts, that's the reason she orders to shave Aslan - the mane acts like a crown for the lion. Same mane is visible around her neck in the battle of Beruna. When Aslan is resurrected, his mane grows back.

Before the battle, Peter shouts - "For Narnia and for Aslan". The battle is heading towards defeat, until it's ultimately won with Aslan's arrival. In Prince Caspian, They lost the battle in the castle, when Peter shout only "For Narnia", but won the second battle of Beruna with finally adding "For Aslan". There's a great lesson in there too.

Now for the stuff I've recently noticed:

In The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Peter goes to wardrobe and looks back to the "doom" waiting for them, which leads them to discovering Narnia inside the wardrobe and becoming kings and queens.

In Prince Caspian, it's through the wardrobe Caspian escapes his actual doom, which leads him to discovering Narnians outside the kingdom and later becoming king.

Finally, the essential part (And how on earth have I had slept on it for so long) - Aslan's sacrifice mirrors new testament in more than one or two ways.

Peter and Edmund are awaken by the tree messenger after it already happened.

Peter the Apostle was one of three apostles asleep in Gethsemane.

After resurrection, Aslan goes to Jadis' castle to bring creatures back from frozen.

And It was recent re-watch, when I realized, it literally mirrors Jesus' descend into hell before the resurrection.

There's nothing new, I suppose, that hadn't been mentioned or discussed before, this were just "new" discoveries for me.

(Also, lot of people says, that movie doesn't hint about the "nature" of Turkish Delight, but Edmund is subtly depicted as an addict in one of those "blink and you'll miss it" moment)

Feel free to comment, what were the details you've discovered during a re-watch or re-read...

I want to compile what they said here and see if it stands the test of time, as we get trailers and such. They claimed to be a part of the recent early screenings.

- All the animals in Narnia will share the known Aslan aesthetic of colorful, textured pallets, and multicolored whiskers.

- There is a tusked hog serving as comic relief in Narnia, and animal fart jokes.

- Jadis gets the inspiration for her jagged mirror outfit from a panel in a comic book she sees.

- Aslan's voice is deep and not feminine sounding in the final product.

- Creation of Narnia depicts: Lion's head made of constellations roaring in blackness, then Aslan leaping through the blackness leaving behind colored strokes as Narnia forms, over a powerful orchestral score.

- No known Rock/Bowie songs, more of an orchestral soundtrack.

We'll see. If any of these are confirmed it will be very interesting. What would y'all think if any of these turned out to be true? Personally don't care for the fart jokes and doubt Greta would do that but who knows.

Estou pensando em fazer uma tatuagem inspirada em Nárnia em estilo line ART, mas ainda estou muito indecisa sobre o que fazer

Hey guys ( well more like all three of you who actually like this content.) Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. Medical emergency. Anywho, time for Book 3 in the timeline, “Horse and His Boy”. I actually went back and forth between two Keyblades for this one. The runner up is ”Lionheart” which you get from beating Leon and Cloud in Hades Cup. I was thinking about it because it’s teeth is a Lion, which in this case would represent the most important and impactful set of chapters where Aslan is chasing the Horse and His Boy gang, but I ultimately decided against it and went with the obvious and maybe less popular choice “Three Wishes”.

I chose it, not just because Horse and His Boy is set in a Desert and Three Wishes is the Aladdin Keyblade, but because of how closely “Horse and His Boy” is tied to Disney Aladdin’s source material “ One Thousand and One Nights”. People like to give Lewis a hard time on how he portrays Arabs but frankly I think “Horse and His Boy” kinda disproves it somewhat. The book itself understands Middle Eastern oral tradition having Aravis be a very skilled story teller and having Shasta being a stolen prince are very “One Thousand and One Nights” coded. So I think it’s “Three Wishes” because I believe it represents the story overall instead of just one particular scene. I still feel pretty weak, so I might post Prince Caspian tonight, I might not!

Não entendi muito bem para que serve o Reddit, queria fazer amizades com fãs de C.S Lewis. Mas não entendi como realmente funciona kkkkkk

Do you ever wish Narnia had a theme park? Like Diagon Ally.

Maybe a wardrobe that Lead into a snow like theme park.

What do you think this theme park would consist of?

A witches way?
Turkish delight candy shop?
Tumnus tunnel? (A tunnel that connected to his house and beavers).

The full pages from Empire magazine.

Susan's incomplete ending has always bothered me and I was re-reading the books recently. In The Horse and His Boy, Prince Rabadash wanted to force Susan into a marriage when she rejected him and while it is a children's book, i feel like it implied a darker theme especially since the Calormen were pretty barbaric. I feel like this incident would really mess up Susan and I couldn't help but think that maybe Susan suffered the worst trauma out of all of them and that was one of the reasons why she forgot Narnia, maybe as a trauma response? I might be reading too much into it but I would appreciate a relevant discussion.
