Eh. I’m with HJ and DarkOneDearie on this one. Leave Narnia alone. I flippin’ love it too and that’s why I want A and E to just leave it be. Knowing those guys, they’d make Jadis the White Witch out to be sympathetic because a guy broke her heart and so she turned everything to winter to match her cold and unloving heart and turn Aslan into a morally ambiguous hero who makes bad choices for good reasons. I already have a book series/TV show that takes Narnia mythology and dirties it up. The Magicians is doing just fine so A and E can just just move right on along.

Yeah, exactly. I just love Narnia. The books are amazing. Adam and Eddy are terrible writers and have no clue how to twist stories anymore, so just stay away. I definitely think they could have done things a lot better with like having objects like susan’s bow would have been interesting. They tried to do that with the dark one dagger by making it Excalibur, but then it was the holy grail too which was like eh that is a little weird. I think they needed to create a mythology like that, like where the lamp post came from in Narnia or how the mice started to talk, or where the wardrobe came from, all that deep world building which is pretty amazing for pretty short books and how the beginning and the end connect.
