The Chronicles of Narnia/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Applicability]]

* [[Complete Monster]]: Before hitching a ride to Narnia, Jadis ruled a world of her own called Charn. Her sister led a rebellion to overthrow her tyrannical regime, and she responded by destroying every living thing on her native world all the way down to bacteria by uttering [[Fantastic Nuke|the deplorable word]]. Even counting the long list of atrocities she committed in Narnia including turning it into a frozen Hell, this was by far her greatest crime and she was proud to have committed it.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Eustace Scrubb and Puddleglum usually top the list of fan-favourites.

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: One such theory recently turned out to be true! A researcher found a thematic link between the seven books and the seven major planets (see Lewis' other best-known work, the Space Trilogy).

* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: [[The Mole]] is recruited when the [[Big Bad]] gives him a drug addiction, as magic gives [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_delight starch and sugar with lemon and] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewater ground, boiled rose petals] the addictive punch of crystal meth. Then, Santa Claus hands out weapons to the child heroes. Peter: Sword, Susan: Bow, Lucy: Dagger, [[Inferred Holocaust|Luftwaffe: Groups of long-range heavy bomber aircraft that can destroy cities]].

** "[[That Guy With the Glasses|Why is Santa Claus handing out weapons anyway?]] [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/bum-reviews/229-chronicles-of-narnia-prince-caspian That's kinda messed up]."

*** The book talks about how different it was to actually meet him, that he wasn't the silly, comical sort of character they would have expected.

 

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The geek at the train station ([[Fan Nickname|Warren]]) gained a fan club when some fans decided they didn't like the way Susan's and Caspian's [[Weenalized|relationship was treated]] and that "[[Fan Nickname|Phyllis]]" was a much better pairing.

** Among the Pevensie children, Edmund has come out as the favourite so far, due to his [[Deadpan Snarker]] tendencies and his several [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moments of Awesome]] during ''Prince Caspian.'' The actor became [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]], which combined with the [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkiness]] and the [[Heel Face Turn]] from [[The Mole]] he was in the first film, almost makes him an [[Anti-Hero]]. And [[Fetish Fuel]] for more than three quarters of the female population. <ref> [[Even the Guys Want Him|And some of the male population too.]]</ref>

** [[Your Mileage May Vary|Of course]], writing a story about it doesn't mean one believes that's what ''really'' happened. And arguably, movieverse forms a canon on its own.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: The use of "The Call" at the end of ''Prince Caspian'' will likely become this once ''The Last Battle'' is made.
