You haven't seen Dawn Treader?! *borrows PPC expression*
FOR THE LOVE OF GLOD, DON'T.
Or if you do, pretend it's a badfic. It deserves the title "Legendary Badcanon of Plotholes".
Did they make the mist a Big Bad? *SPOILER*
Yes. Yes they did. Without any reasonable explanation.
The Motley Band is going to spork the LIVING FREAKING HECK out of it once they get their hands on a copy.
PUDDLEGLUM. IS. AWESOME.
At the rate they're going, I won't even want to SEE Silver Chair if they film it. And if they get to Last Battle (as I said to someone else), they'll probably have figured out a way to make the Calormenes white. You know, to avoid the non-existent racism.
As for LOTR...well, I really want to read the books again, but college is eating my time. I guess I don't have a huge beef with the movies--HEAR ME OUT!--simply because I feel that they get Tolkien's story across fairly well. I know PJ cut out a lot and changed things (even I was slightly annoyed that he cut out Glorfindel), and that many books fans were/are unhappy. But at least I can feel Middle Earth in the movies.
The new Narnia movies just DON'T get Lewis' story across. LWW was the best, but there were things that really upset me. Susan the Logical, anyone? Peter the Jerk? Jadis the Blonde? The non-existent Fox and river/wolf confrontation? The Pevensies receiving their titles at the coronation, along with that jaw about north/south/east/west? The Narnians knowing Aslan was dead? Modernization of dialogue? WRONG!!!
*deep breaths*
Prince Caspian was much worse. Hello, mutilated characters, ages, and storyline. Uh, Miraz? You've been king since Caspian was a little boy. Glozelle? You're evil. Night raid? YOU DON'T FLARKING EXIST. Peter? Caspian? You are not arrogant rival twerps. Susan? Caspian? You are both supposed to be 13. Stop flirting. Caspian and Telmarines? YOU DON'T HAVE A FLARKING ACCENT, FOR ASLAN'S SAKE!!! So many things wrong in that movie...*shudder*
And Dawn Treader. As Glumpuddle on Youtube says, "It's almost an ANTI-Narnia movie. It's the opposite."
DT is where I draw the line. Any fics I spork that take place in pure DT movieverse can't be done under the PPC banner, because I point-blank REFUSE to consider this piece of trash as canon.
*end rant*
