“Suppose… suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars, and moon, and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems to me that the made-up things are a good deal better than the real ones. And if this black pits of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it’s a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

It’s the year 2020.

The last Chronicles of Narnia movie came out 10 years ago and Netflix has set the premiere of their own adaptation in spring.

Because of that, the Special Anniversary Edition DVD box of all 3 movies comes out - with never-before-seen footage and special extra material.

So, obviously, you go to the nearest store and you buy it, even if you already have those dvd’s.

You come home and start a movie marathon.

It’s the end of the LWW and so far you haven’t seen anything new or extra.

But then you see it.

It’s the flash forward scene. The White Stag Hunt.

But it’s different.

Those are not the actors you usually see in the scene.

It’s them.

And it makes perfect sense, because it’s been 15 years since LWW came out and all four of them are now old enough to play adult versions of themselves.

That’s the “extra material” - the grand surprise.

But then you get to the end of the movie and you cry louder and harder than ever before.

Because now seeing their actual adult selves going back to their actual childhood selves has even bigger impact.

Makes it even more real.

Attacking actors/actresses for doing their job is not ok. You may not like a character, a storyline, or a ship but being rude, disrespectful and mean is not how u handle that. If an actor or actress gives their opinion on something going on in a show or movie they are working on you still shouldn't attack them. There is a civil way to express that u disagree with that opinion and that u have your own. Same goes for actors/actresses. You shouldn't get defensive just bc someone doesn't like your character. Everyone is free to an opinion and everyone is free to express their opinion as long as it is not harmful to others. I'm sorry but shipping or not shipping two characters is not the end of the world. There are much more important things we could be focusing our energy on and yet we have failed to do so.
