From Aslan to Translan… Meryl Streep will voice the male lion and Christ figure in the upcoming Narnia movie.

If you want to know just how much Hollywood hates us and just how much this hate overrides any desire to realize a profit, I give you Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s Christian story, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.

Anyone vaguely familiar with Narnia franchise understands that the central character in all seven Narnia novels is Aslan the lion. Aslan is Narnia’s godhead character, the creator of the physical world of Narnia, its animals, its plants, and the moral order.

For those who might not have caught on to this, the true creator of Narnia, Lewis, made it clear that Aslan represents Christ.

In 1961, he wrote:

The whole Narnian story is about Christ. That is to say, I asked myself ‘Supposing there really were a world like Narnia, and supposing it had (like our world) gone wrong, and supposing Christ wanted to go into that world and save it (as He did ours) what might have happened?’ The stories are my answer. Since Narnia is a world of Talking Beasts, I thought He would become a Talking Beast there, as He became a Man here. I pictured Him becoming a lion there because (a) the lion is supposed to be the King of beasts; (b) Christ is called ‘The Lion of Judah’ in the Bible; (c) I’d been having strange dreams about lions when I began writing the books.

Knowing all of this, Netflix decided there was only one right decision when it came to casting the Christ figure— give the role of a male lion to a girl, specifically Meryl Streep.

"Netflix spent a reported $300 million on this adaptation, which will hit theaters early next year, and the hope is to launch a major Harry Potter-type franchise using the six remaining novels."

Imagine the day when conservative Americans can go to a movie and NOT see or hear the voices of people who hate us. Pray for the day AI replaces actors and haters...

“ Pray for the day AI replaces actors and haters...”

If anything, AI will hate us more.

Cool. Now do Hitler. They never race/gender swap white male villains.

You feel white liberal ‘elite’ bigots will take over AI and use it against the half of Americans who are conservative? That’s depressing.

Maybe some AI companies are commie/democrat compromised but I doubt they all are. What do you know?
