Meryl Streep is a brilliant actress. That isn't the point. C.S. Lewis wrote Aslan as Christ. Male. He. The Son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea. Netflix has chosen a woman to give voice to that explicitly male Christ figure. This doesn't happen in a cultural vacuum. For years, Hollywood has been deliberately breaking the connection between biological sex, gender and identity, particularly in stories presented to children. Male becomes female. Female becomes male. And eventually the audience is expected to pretend there are no differences. As if they weren't there. Now that treatment has reached Aslan, one of the most recognizable representations of Jesus Christ in children's literature. This is not “artistic vision.” This switch from male to female of a representation of Christ in literature is both disrespectful of C.S. Lewis' original work and and the man himself. At what point does “inclusion” become the deliberate erasure of the source material, and a mockery of the Christian faith at its center?
