The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 12/2 @ 10 PM ET

He gets better…

“How do I know your promise will be kept?”

Audacious Witch!

“Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.” :eek:

Aw, sad lion. :frowning:

How do you compare or try and emulate the grace and presence of Aslan?

Now we witness what happens to someone who stands up for all that is righteous and just. Meanwhile his allies sleep or stand by.

Ever see the cartoon? This scene was awesome. They really captured it well here.

And they beat him and mocked his claims of kingship.

So subtle. :rolleyes:

OTOH, he allowed Evil to flourish when he clearly had the power to stop it.

Does his sacrifice atone for that?

No. I haven’t. Putting it on the list.

I don’t recall the mice taking Jesus off the cross in the bible. :rolleyes:

That griffin looks amazing. Well done.

That’s the thing. He didn’t allow it. Everyone else did. They were complacent and allowed her reign to flourish. This battle should have been fought long before the humans and Aslan showed up. They needed to be reminded of that. Aslan’s sacrifice and their bravery to face her without Aslan proves they are headed toward become worthy to stand up against any future evil.

That army doesn’t look so tough. It’s three guys and a bunch of hobbits.

Oh wait, those three guys are giants.

Craaap. :eek:

Aslan’s been around forever. He could have stopped her long ago and just didn’t.

Free will is an easy excuse for a deity to do nothing. :frowning:

Not to question the battle plan, but wouldn’t it make more sense for the griffins to fly higher, above the range of arrows, and carry baskets of smaller rocks instead of one big one? Certainly more efficient use of resources, methinks.

Quite possibly the most violent Disney movie, ever. :eek:

That’s what Sean and Chuck were saying in the 'cast.

Aslan’s resurrection is actually similar to one of the more interesting interpretations of Christian lore that was generally accepted from the Middle Ages through the mid-20th century. Basically, the idea went that, due to Original Sin, God lost any claim on human life. We were flawed, and therefore belonged to Satan legally. Jesus basically tricked the Devil into accepting his death as payment for “buying back” the right to own humanity. Satan gladly accepted this deal, not realizing he was being cheated.

Doesn’t exactly put “the good guys” in the best light, but it does make a certain amount of sense.

GMTA :rolleyes:

I love Swinton in this scene. She’s a complete beast. Looks amazing.
