I really like Greta Gerwig's movies and am excited to see what she will do with Narnia. Iirc she is a fan of the books and really wanted to do an adaptation. Happy to see Netflix is giving her a proper budget!

    That is what making a billion dollar movie will do for a director.

    Narnia is awful Christian propaganda, what a waste of money

    Some of the best art we have throughout history was Christian propaganda. That’s why learning the historical context is important. You don’t have to believe everything you see.

    Yeah this is kind of like defending all the "great Harry Potter art" despite Rowling being deserving of 6ft of dirt.

    Just because it has inspired great things doesn't make it worthy of continued existence.
