I don’t have Netflix anymore but this seems in line with Netflix. Would be great if an adaptation done today cared about the author’s vision. These companies could have some mega hit shows but decide that isn’t important

Both LoTR and Narnia are inherently Christian and it took just one recreation of The Hobbit to sully the cinematic name of the former. They aren't interested in faithful retellings, they're interested in exactly what they accuse "old dead white men" of: cultural imperialism, colonization, and iconoclasm. Christ man bad and all His works, big and small, need to be debased or erased.
The new Narnia will be hated by everyone alive except the three bored trannies who like it, but in 30 years when my kids try to read their kids Narnia, every search will bring this shit up first.
Hell, it already happens today: the 80s Shogun miniseries is a fucking masterpiece starring Toshiro Mifune and no one gives a shit about it because "it's too old."
That's probably why they put so much effort into subverting those, even with all the good will it lost them.
I’ve been meaning to rewatch 80s shogun. I remember when I was very little my dad watching it. Also want to read the book
They're both great, definitely recommended. Gimli is the Portuguese pilot.
