Line 10:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Yes, it's all very wonderful for Peter, Edmund, Lucy, etc. that they get to go to heaven with Aslan and live forever in paradise. But Susan (ignoring any discussions on ''why'') has just had her ''entire family, including her parents'', killed in a horrific accident. May also double as [[Fridge Horror]].
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The fact that the [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] of the Middle East is '''on the side of evil''' has been a point of controversy ever since the books were first published.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt'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]."
*** Because that's not Santa Claus, its Father Christmas.
Line 22:
* [[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 [[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>
* [[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 either.
** [[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.
Line 33:
** The White Witch. Wrapping Edmund in her fur with her, being all close, asking Edmund to come to her castle, and to bring his siblings too. Jeez lady, and to only up the creepiness with Edmund, in the third movie, constantly whispering almost seductively, "Edmund, I can make you my King... and much more."
*** Though Edmund might've consented to a powerful, [[Hot Witch]] fawning over him. And this might have been partly why he joined her forces.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: The assault on the castle in ''Prince Caspian'' (which did ''not'' happen in the book) gave huge helpings of this to Peter. To be fair, everyone from Caspian to ''[[The Heart|Lucy]]'' calls him out on it. Caspian also deserves a share of this one because it was ''his'' fault in the first place that they lost the element of surprise; he went into the castle with his own agenda and despite the obvious results of him changing the plan in the middle of a [[Stealth Based Mission]] he shows no responsibility or remorse for his actions. To maintain order among the Narnian army, Peter has no choice but to let it go and share the blame.
** Granted Maugrim didn't think that Peter had it in him to kill, but that doesn't mean that jumping directly onto Peter's sword was a smart move.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's for Kids?]]: ''Prince Caspian'' was allegedly a children's movie and rated as PG. But despite that ''Prince Caspian'' is probably the highest-bodycount, generally-dark movie to be given a PG rating since ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' spurred the creation of PG-13.
