Or an entire generation won’t even watch it. Look at Marvel… MSheU is dead in the water, even with a generation watched it with their parents since they could process the screen.
Only good thing about this crap is that once you see the cast, you know their motivation. I actually ordered the complete Narnia books and will read them since I only ever read Lion Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Also, I know you could play a drinking game based on the number of times I mention Wheel of Time but despite the showrunner running his mouth, the casting should’ve let everyone know exactly how the show would be. The book really explains that the hometown of the main characters is very isolated and how Rand looks different. When they leave their town they meet people of different cultures but that’s not enough. I doubt the show will do the three wives thing either.
I'd recommend reading them in the original order -- I actually disagree with C.S. Lewis' chronological reordering.
The first 3 (Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and Dawn Treader) set up the world really well with consistent characters. Silver Chair continues that a bit, and then A Horse and His Boy tells a side-story. Magician's Nephew does more world building and is far more interesting to read as the 6th book since it fills in a bunch of holes and mysteries. Last Battle last obviously makes sense in both sequences.
They'll need to butcher her as a character in order to make her sympathetic, which you know they'll do. Her appearance in The Magician's Nephew cements her as a power hungry, maniacal ruler.
She omnicided her entire universe rather than let her sister have the throne. You cannot make a character like that sympathetic. It's simply not possible.
So you're saying the sister was evil and the White Witch clearly saved her universe from an existence of suffering by euthanising everything instead? 🤔🦞
Half-cheeky. I read the article and saw that she directed Barbie, but the assumption everywhere seems to be that I'm supposed to know who the crazy bitch is, and I really don't.
So fucking glad we have those movies that came out in the 00's. They weren't perfect but you'll never get another adaptation closer, especially with all the diversity hires and woke agendas in Hollywood now.
So it'll be a total perversion of the explicitly and unapologetically Christian and white source material.
How do you think they will respond to the backlash of actual fans?
The same way they always have. Spite, lies and gaslighting.
They realized long ago that if they can keep lying for twenty years, the new generation will always be too stupid to tell the difference.
True

Step 1: "This isn't for you!"
Step 2: "Why didn't you financially support this?!"
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Fall upwards to another project.
That’s the cycle. Well, there is the “the source material was always woke” part as well
the same tired shit leftist buzzwords.
The unholy trifecta: Netflix, Greta Gerwig, Existing Fantasy IP

Thanks!
Can't wait for Aslan to get lectured to about his privilege and toxic masculinity.
Who?
In case you're not being cheeky, she's the lady that just directed the Barbie movie. Wanna take bets on how misunderstood the White Witch will be?
They'll need to butcher her as a character in order to make her sympathetic, which you know they'll do. Her appearance in The Magician's Nephew cements her as a power hungry, maniacal ruler.

Exactly. They'll have to completely butcher her character and origins, because you know they'll try to make her sympathetic.

calling it now: Azlan will be played by Morgan Freeman
No chance. Aslan will be voiced by a black woman. I’d wager anything.
Will also be changed to a lioness
I doubt it - Morgan Freeman's voice would fit the character too well. It'd be too good of a casting choice.
You misunderstand. It won't be a lion with Morgan Freeman's voice. It will just be Morgan Freeman.
Maybe lightning will strike twice and she'll turn another billion dollars out of a woke movie. Oh wait, it won't.
