well behaved women

Blade: The Series: hottest. femslash. ever.

Remember when I first watched Prince Caspian and liked it? I was all, "oh, Susan is awesome and Lucy and Edmund are awesome and Caspian is pretty neat and I hate Peter in this movie so I don't care whether or not he was awesome".

And then I reread the books, and I watched the first Narnia movie and I realized, "waitaminute, Peter was awesome. He was a great character."

And then I saw Prince Caspian again.

WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CHARACTER BUTCHERY, ANDREW ADAMSON. Peter acting like a selfish, arrogant power-hungry dipshit with what, two throwaway lines trying to explain it and then no time spent whatsoever in the aftermath. Clearly Andrew Adamson, AE--asshole extravaganza--was all about the sweeping battle scenes and the special effects and competent nowhere else because he destroyed Peter's character. Leave him as a director, guys--NEVER LET HIM WRITE AGAIN.

They ditched one of the screenwriters, you know, and it was the female. And I'm pretty sure the second movie doesn't pass the Bechdel test--every conversation Lucy and Susan have somehow pertains to Aslan, doesn't it?--while the first movie does. WOW, THAT'S....OBVIOUS.

You know, the Lord of the Rings movies were such a crashing, bitter disappointment--used to make pretty scenes and slap those stupid Hollywood cliches into a well-loved meta--that the first Narnia movie filled me with hope. But clearly Andrew Adamson unchecked just warps the storylines into the old stereotypes.

Thank god that Voyage of the Dawn Treader--if it's even made--will be directed by someone else.
