=== Subjective tropes for the book series as a whole: ===
* [[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.
** Miraz, Lady of the Green Kirtle, and Shift the ape are contenders for this trope as well for their despicable actions and sheer awfulness.
* [[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).
Line 19 ⟶ 17:
 
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: [[Tilda Swinton]] as the White Witch. In fact, many reviews noted that her performance was the most memorable thing about the first movie. The fact that they were going to be making the movies in the original publication order raised people's expectations as well.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Still Jadis. Subverted with Miraz, who's given more depth than his literary counterpart.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: [[The Chronicles of Narnia/Funny|has its own page]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
* [[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 [[Fetisheye Fuel]]appeal for more than three quarters of the female population. <ref> [[Even the Guys Want Him|And some of the male population too.]]</ref>
* [[Fan Dumb]]: The myriad number of [[Fan Fiction]] stories written after ''Prince Caspian'' was released that explain Susan's 'real' reason for later abandoning Narnia as [[Star-Crossed Lovers|lost love over Caspian]], despite the two of them having no romantic interest in each other in the book, and very little in the movie!
** [[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.
