there are literally so many reasons why we don't need a third Narnia adaptation
first of all, while they might not be the most accurate, the Disney movies are actually so good and, in my opinion, still manage to capture the heart and soul of the series and what it's truly about. The characters are each perfectly portrayed; the Pevensies act like actual siblings and yet love each other dearly and would die for each other even through all the petty arguments; the music creates perfect atmosphere and emotion and never fails to make me tear up or get shivers down my spine; and the CGI is honestly just absolutely stunning.
I really do not feel like we need another adaptation by Netflix.
Especially not through Netflix.
Netflix has already been known to mess up so many shows and movies by completely changing the source material or adding in unnecessary things that completely take away from the purpose of the story. I can already see them warping Narnia into something that barely even resembles the books, that strips it of its purpose and simply makes it about a fantasy world, nothing more. I've already seen posts saying that the new movies just can't end the way the books end, that heaven must be explained away, that Susan never forgets and falls down a dark path, that the faith aspect must be taken out so as not to offend new viewers.
Here's the thing.
If you take faith out of Narnia, you remove the very heart of the series. you remove the entire purpose. Because Narnia is entirely about faith, and trust, and Someone greater than yourself who sacrifices everything to save your own traitorous soul. the Disney movies did not shy away from portraying this faith as openly as possible. if anyone was offended, I've never seen proof. I have seen many nonbelievers talk about how much they were affected by Aslan's death, which goes to show that you simply don't have to be Christian to understand what Narnia is about, and to love and enjoy it.
So if these new remakes remove the faith aspect, then what is the point? four siblings go to a magical land and save it from a witch and befriend a talking lion with nothing special about him and live there as kings and queens and return home and live happily ever after? there is no sacrifice, there is no "he's not tame, but he is good," there is no creation, there is no redemption, there is no last battle, there is no "in your world, I have another name", there is no sister straying down a dark path because she has forgotten how to hope, and then returning because her story is unfinished and the road to heaven is paved with flowers that symbolize her name.
so then, what are you left with? Aslan is just a talking lion, nothing more. the stone table never cracks, the sun never rises. "That by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there" is forgotten entirely, because why would Aslan exist in our world if he is merely a talking lion in Narnia? Aslan's country is changed to be something else, and there is nothing about how Aslan suddenly no longer looks like a lion, and how the things that happened after are more great and beautiful than can be described. Edmund's life is never threatened because of his traitorous deeds; Aslan never offers his own life in place of a guilty boy, is never killed, is never resurrected.
the very core of Narnia is removed, and what you are left with is emptiness.
sure, it might make for a good fantasy story nonetheless. you might still have sweeping views and epic music and an intriguing plotline, but something will always feel like it is missing. like there is an empty hole, desperately needing to be filled.
of course, I don't know that all of that will happen; it's just speculation at this point. But I am fairly sure that it is safe to predict these upcoming movies as such. I highly doubt the producers will want to include the faith that shapes Narnia, because according to them, having a faith aspect means less viewers since too many people would be offended.
but if only they would look at the already wonderful existing adaptations, they would know that is simply not the case.

*pulls up in a Barbie toy car* Psst, GET IN THE CAR BIRTHDAY LOSER WE GOING TO CAUSE PANIC
Question: would you ever dyed your hair and if you did what color?
*JUMPING IN THE BARBIE TOY CAR* LET’S GO BESTIEEEEEEE🗣️‼️‼️
OOOOOOOO I don’t think I’d ever dye my hair because it would take a lot of effort to take care of it :OO (like, the quality(?) of your hair is worse than before because of the dye and stuff. My sister dyed her hair and showed me the struggles and I’m like😦)
I’M OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY THOUGH!!! HMMMMMM I think I’d dye my hair into a light-ish grey-ish color? Maybe a desaturated blue or something :OOO

I love how Riptide is vibrating like gears. And that there's no music in the Minotaur fight except for the sound effects. Shows you how serious it is without the (melo)dramatic cues.

Hello my friend!! My dear girl sent me a more improved version of her playlist image! Both of us want to thank you very much in advance for your fantastic work (She added hearts 💖 to the original image to give it a beautiful look)
Have a nice week!! 😊
Here you are! :) The only one not on Spotify was 'When I'm with You' by The Lennon Sisters, I found the one from Shirley Temple was the closest, hope that's alright :) -Spirit

An interesting thing I picked up on while watching Bronté as Kath was that she seemed to remember things and plan ahead by talking to herself. After the first Jacobi’s scene and before Watch What Happens, she mutters to herself, lightly gesturing as she recalls information and seemingly plans her writing. She then does the same after Watch What Happens (Reprise), muttering and gesturing while caught up in her own bubble, oblivious to the world around her. Her eyes never really focused on the audience either, she was either looking at her notebook or looking up as she tried to remember things. She was clearly distracted too, and very caught off guard when other things on stage, like Bunsen or the newsies, broke her from her own thoughts. She usually stayed around downstage right when doing this too.
