The discourse around the timeline changes for The Magicianās Nephew is really starting to piss me the fuck off
It is coming from a place of book purity that to me is really just a resistance to change and interpretation.
An adaptation can be faithful and still make changes
Why did nobody tell me how good Bugonia was
Like there was a lot of buzz when it came out but not enough because I just now finally watched it and itās one of my favorites from the last likeā¦ couple years lmao
This is actually hella troubling because you know they didnāt show that to a group of southern conservatives who were mad just to be mad, this group (most likely much more liberal) also actually hated itā¦ lmao
Greta Gerwigās $280M āNARNIAā is reportedly raising concerns at Netflix after a test screening, with insiders calling the film āawfulā.
The production has undergone reshoots amid those concerns.

You people forget they made three Narnia movies that were pretty good adaptations. No one watched them. They cancelled the rest.
This movie looks cool. It looks fun. People will go see it.
So far the criticism I've seen just make you all sound insane and precious in the most annoying ways:
- The jungle should be a forest
- The magician is too hot
- The boy is too fat
- The girl is too cute
- Aslan is too cosmic
I'm open to giving this thing a chance. It has to have a vibe if people are going to care care about The Magician's Nephew, a story no one knows anything about.
It's fine to be critical and I wouldn't be shocked if this series abandons Christianity for some pagan occult slop. But It's also okay to make the story visually appealing enough to attract an audience who will then go and read the books.
Stop being weird!

those are all mean girls who actually arenāt known to be nice either.
whereas unproblematic queens like cher, celine dion, janet jackson, patti labelle, cyndi lauper, diana ross, chaka khan have all embraced her. š

I donāt think reading people is your thing š„“
I was so prepared to think that these people were assholes to her. But that's clearly not the case. I'm pretty good at reading people and this guy doesn't come across like an asshole to me at all; he is reasonably angry and exasperated. I don't think people understand how internet harassment works. Family members being doxxed, not being able to even use your phone, having people come up to you physically, filming, and interrogating you. This should be disturbing to anyone.
If we WANT to truly make this political (because itās becoming more and more apparent this is being divided amongst ideological lines in peopleās reactions/responses) I couldnāt be happier Iām on Kellyās side actually, lmao.

Well for one thing, she has the polar opposite reputation, built over literal decades, and for another, the ones trying to cast her as the victim are hipster millionaire Brooklyn hobby-shop magicians, so Occam's Razor kinda comes into play here.
Nobody wants to talk about this and how itās basically a pretentious white male pedophile apologist doubling down against American sweetheart Kelly Clarkson, lmao.
This is probably why the store hasnāt apologized either.
Men treating women like shit but itās the womanās fault, lmao.
