in honor of rereading voyage of the dawn treader this is staying on my blog

(I love Aslan in the movies, he just had an comforting aura)

Can we talk about how chaotic Narnian battles would feel?? Especially in Prince Caspian. Like, imagine you’re a little Telmarine soldier waiting for the catapults to go and you’ve got all your regiments in nice orderly rows and these two 16 year olds suddenly yell “charge” and the ground opens up beneath you, a mouse with a sword the size of a large pencil takes out your bestie, a griffin drops a dwarf 5 ft away from you and he comes up swinging. As you try to rationalize this, you’re stabbed by a twelve year old with a British accent. Finally, a really freaking big lion shows up, roars, and your entire army collectively pees their pants. At one point in the movie (yes I know the movies aren’t quite the same as the book but they’re still good) Peter says like “we have the element of surprise” like dude, you have drafted the trees I’m pretty sure everyone’s gonna be surprised no matter what.

It's Edmund who figures it out first, you know, who Aslan is. Like, a week after they're back in England, they go with the Professor to the little village church, and they stand and sing Amazing Grace, and the rector preaches something about Jesus dying for sinners, and Edmund is nailed to the pew with utter certainty: That's Aslan.

He doesn't say it directly to anybody, he has to chew it over, has to test it and try it, and see if it holds true. He and the Professor have many lively discussions about what Narnia actually is, what it's for, what other worlds would mean for science or philosophy or theology. But every time he goes back to the Bible and reads it, he finds echoes of Narnia, echoes of the Lion's voice, and the truth settles into him, becomes something solid and certain deep down inside.

Peter... sees the possibility almost as quickly. He's not so sure of it though, is a bit shy of something so incredible, doesn't want to get it wrong. He wants it to be true. He thinks about it a lot. But he doesn’t say any of it aloud, until he says to Aslan, at the end of his last trip to Narnia. It gets decided then, in there somewhere. He doesn't understand how or why, but he will believe anyway.

Lucy, now, Lucy always knew in a way that was beyond words, unconsciously, deep inside somewhere she never stopped to examine. She stands in Eustace's room, with Aslan’s words ringing in her ears, and it's like a light bulb has come on, or a bucket of cold water has been dumped over her head. Oh. Oh, that's what he meant, oh, now I understand.

And Susan, dear Susan, she suspects, she wonders, but no. Impossible. Too strange, too illogical. Waves it away like a nagging fly. But she figures it out years later, not too late, no sir, not too late at all. Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a song, maybe it's retelling the Easter story to a little girl curled up in her lap. Maybe it's an old poem pulled from the wreckage of a train. She pauses, startled, before the tears come tumbling down, and she murmurs the name she hasn't spoken in what feels like a lifetime, murmus it like a prayer: Aslan.

Jesus.

In Greta Gerwig’s Narnia, God Is a Woman and the Usual Suspects Are Spinning It Faster Than Lewis’ Corpse in His Grave.

Again, please consider:

Would you call Michael Bay a “visionary” if he was hired to reboot Wonder Woman and not only cast Chris Pratt as the lead character, but made Diana “Wonder Man?”

Would you call him a “visionary” for taking a character who’s based off a historical figure, a historical figure who’s gender is an integral part of their iconography, and swapping that gender?

Would you call it “visionary” for Michael Bay to grab Wonder Woman, who is associated with a historical person that means so much to huge swathes of worldviews, and invert Wonder Woman?

Would you, seriously?

Be intellectually honest.

It’s not “visionary.” It’s narcissistic.

Who are you, who do you think you are, to take something that means something bigger than you to people who are more numerous than you and invert it? So that it only means what you think it should mean, and all your groupies?

She’s Woman, so God has to be, too. Because she thinks she’s god. The narcissism. I’m choking on it.

What a one-trick pony Greta Gerwig is.

Barbie’s gotta be Eve-turned-into-God-because-God-should-be-a-Woman-because-Greta’s-a-Woman.

Jo’s gotta be representing-Greta-Gerwig’s-personal-experience-as-a-woman-which-represents-every-woman’s-experience-as-a-woman-because-Greta-Gerwig-is-all-there-is.

Ain’t you got any other tricks, Madam Mirror? Some “visionary.”

can't express accurately how happy it makes me that c.s. lewis did not leave room for many interpretations in narnia. it's christian and you can't get around it. susan chose to care more about worldly things than what matters and he said what he said. the lion is Jesus. evil is evil and good is good and people have to choose. and that makes some readers angry because it's nearly impossible to ignore and they want to ignore it. they want it to be something else and they can't make it something else without making it not narnia. love that. that is doing it right

“Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“Aslan” said Lucy “you're bigger”. “That is because you are older, little one” answered he. “Not because you are?” “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”
