So, it’ll be “The Lion, The Witch, and The Warlock who Came Out of The Wardrobe”???

Yes let’s adapt a book series with obvious theological underpinnings, emasculate the male characters and convert all the females into omnipotent lesbians. Because that’s what people want to watch.

These people are galactically stupid.

I concur.

Some works need to be left alone.

Hollywood makes the movies IT wants to see. They don’t give a damn what you want.

The Magician’s Nephew should be fun. Jadis in the book is an archetypal suffragist with bare arms who totally emasculates Uncle Andrew and is more harried by a feisty old biddy.

I can just imagine. The Pevensie children were, after all, white, and that just won’t do. Aslan will be only a lion, of course, and Narnia a place where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion reign supreme. Twenty people will watch it and it will have a 105% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This whole act is thoroughly tiresome and Hollywood just won’t stop.

Yep, and the story here is how they get $$$ to burn on losing efforts and how they get “rights” to successively trash each piece of culture they can’t cancel entirely.

Not to mention Muhomedans/Calormenes and how a dam dirty ape parodied Aslan and triggered the Narnian apocalypse.

If I were involved with CS Lewis’ estate I would make all kinds of trouble for Netflix

I guess Kathleen Kennedy, “the depleted Uranium wrecking ball of American pop culture”, “The destroyer of popular franchises”, is unavailable.

Maybe they should have brought Dylan Mulvaney on board to pilot their submarine to the Titanic.

Obviously Netflix wants to take the same route as Bud Light, money having become tiresome to them.
