"we're children again" says the guy with the most commanding moustache i've seen
I mean…I’ve seen a 13 year old with a full on forest on their face. It’s possible
You beat me to it.
@@qaasimabdul6766cats don't count
Ahhh, that's why he is in charge
He looks like a kind of guy that would be into beavers.
I like how the later films touched on this and even think they could have expanded on it a bit more. Edmund trying to lie about his age to sign up for the army makes more sense when you think he is already a veteran of another war.
Ugh. This is comment is a perfect example of why I refuse to watch the movies. Way too much artistic license for something that was pretty dang near perfect!
But that war used swords and shields, not guns and bombs. Very different tactics.
@@iverkjellkken6569 it's not like ordinary man, signing up for the army, expected to know a lot about tactics anyway. It comes with the training later
Not only that but I also think that mentally they all felt older at that point
This wasn’t an unusual concept at all during WWII regardless of background, but fair and interesting perspective.
I remember even as a kid being horrified at this ending. I get now that it was symbolic, but damn this would be a nightmare. Imagine going from being a rich monarch of an entire magical world which you saved to being a preteen again in war torn Europe. What a horrifying prospect.
Teen conflict would be weird...
"Oh, yeah? What you gunna do about it?"
"Edmund, bring me my sword."
Almost as horrifying as imagining waking up as a high schooler again
Most who have achieved power and status with their age would trade in for youth in an instant
@@CamoflaugeDinosaue I... Don't think so man, especially not from royalty and purpose to a kid during a world war. I think you're applying some personal biases there.
@@CamoflaugeDinosaue Yeah, I'd totally trade decades of achievements, accumulated wealth, prosperity, and friendships for a chance to be a tweenager caught in the middle of WWII again.
“WE MET SANTA, HE GAVE YOU A SWORD.”
At that point that would be The most Badass thing to happen when Old Saint Nick gives ya a Sword for a Present
@@cleofusortega9015 Unless he is challenging you to fight to the death
and said "DEUS VULT"
@@cleofusortega9015 there's a high probability that that wasn't saint Nick, but Death posing as him.

I love to imagine the dramatic journey of the man who ventured through Narnia for decades desperately trying to find out what happened to his beaver children only to defeatedly go back through the closet once more.
I think it had just been a thousand years since they left.
@@bethanyhitchen3989 He was in the wardrobe for a second. Probably at least a decade in Narnia time.
@@e.keough2975 There's no actual formula. You can be away a year and it's a thousand years later, or you can be away a year and it's five years later, or gone a few months and it's fifty.
@@StarryEyed0590 true so I guess we can all be right
@@StarryEyed0590 so what you’re telling me is reroll? 😂
Meanwhile, back in Narnia: “Happy 95th birthday, Susan! I just wish Peter and Edmund could have been here to celebrate the long, meaningful life we’ve built here. I wonder whatever happened to them.”
Her brothers and sister went to Heaven while she stayed on Earth because she was an analogy of losing one's childlike sense of wonder and the belief in magic and miracles.
@@brandondavidson4085 because "she used makeup and liked to go out with her friends". Lewis rewlly said this girl lost heaven because she liked makeup
@@Enel97 Yeah he really did Susan dirty
@@Enel97 You are only half right. Lewis said that Susan had gotten to the age she would pretend to always be the rest of her life, using makeup to make herself seem younger. Susan chose stagnation over process, clinging to youth instead of living in the present and enjoying what is.
The other thing that made her be excluded from Narnia was because she lost her childlike sense of wonder and the belief in magic and miracles. She said to her brother and sister "oh, remember that fun game we played when we were younger, where we thought we went to Narnia" She had deluded herself in thinking that it was all nonsense, because she wanted to live in the "real world"
@@Enel97 No, Lewis did not leave her out because she "liked lipstick and makeup", that is such a braindead understanding of the material; it's about as vapid a comment as "why didn't they just take the eagles to Mordor?"
Susan has always been characterized by her cynicism, so much so that she deluded herself into thinking Narnia was all a dream despite living with three eyewitnesses who experienced the world with her; she also has this constant desire to become an adult, to the point where she became so preoccupied with remaining at the peak of her mortal life that she let her inner child die and forgot that she is a Queen of a world beyond this one.
In many ways, Susan is an allegory for Lewis, who at one point in his life also lost his inner child and threw away his faith in a bout of cynicism and preoccupation with the material world; however, there also lies the core of Susan's story, in that while she was not able to join the other Friends of Narnia immediately, she still has a chance to regain what she once lost, just like how Lewis once lost his faith in "Aslan" only to regain it later in life.
Moreso than Lord of the Rings, Narnia is a deeply philosophical, nay spiritual, work which while serviceable on face value, only truly makes full sense if you delve deeper, especially if one has a better grasp in religious symbolism; to think that Susan is forever sealed off from Narnia would be to proclaim that all the Christians today have also been locked out of Salvation just because they also didn't die in a train accident.
*Imagine the horror they'll have to go through when they enter puberty for a second time.*
The sky high problem
@@Guimhj Ah, I see you're a person of culture, as well.
They know what to do now though. I'd go back.
Transgender people do it everyday. They seem to enjoy it though
@@changer_of_ways_999 do you even know what grooming means?
I lost it when he said he preferred beavers to people
Don't worry, Edmund, at least 50% of people have beavers attached ;P
He lost it too 😭

@@michaeld7945 the forbidden roleplay

It would be mine too 😭 like dang, I’d be picking fights all the time too if I went from living my best life to being a poor child again
@@unsweetsweets And the trauma of war...like those kids straight up took lives.
Imagine living your life as a king in a magical land and coming back home and you're British. That's the final ring of hell
Found the latinx.
@@BrassowGaming
Found the Brit. BEGONE lest we throw your tea into the harbor a SECOND time!
@@spiffygonzales5160 The founding fathers were almost entirely of British lineage, and proudly so. One of the most common themes of the American Revolution was the defence of Anglo-Saxon common law. The British considered Americans their brothers too, as when Washington died there was a day of public mourning. Way to show you have no understanding of Anglo relations.
@@BrassowGaming
Sounds like lobster propaganda to me!!!
@@spiffygonzales5160 You're latinx. Americans shat on your ancestors in Mexico and had no brotherhood with your type, unlike Anglo nations. Sorry you don't like to accept reality. Your view of American relations is laughable and shows a complete lack of founding-stock ancestry.
My favorite part is how, if I remember correctly, you can't go back to Narnia intentionally, so I just expected him to open the door like "It didn't work..." "WHAT DO MEAN IT DIDN'T WORK???"
Also this video reminded me of just how crazy that book/movie was, and how great it was. I need to rewatch it
Child me just assumed that they went right back into Narnia once the movie ended
I now realize the gravity of the ending
In the book that is precisely what they tried to do I thought, go back. But the wardrobe was just a wardrobe. The books also explain that their experience rapidly became dreamlike, which is a comfort. It is only that they shared dreaming that kept them believing as long as they did. And eventually Susan convinced herself that it had all just been a children’s game they played in a very traumatic time for them. Losing her belief she doesn’t join them on a trip to discuss Narnia, and she never goes back again. Which means she is the only one to survive the train crash that kills her entire family and sends them permanently to the perfected Narnia heaven of the final book. SHE is the one I feel sorriest for. Just, WHY would you choose that fate for Susan Mr. Lewis???
I don't know if this makes it better or worse, but once they leave Narnia they do "revert" back to being childlike. They forget how to swordfight, how to be adults, they don't forget Narnia but when they're away from it after a while it becomes dreamlike.
So much for using it as a study area.
Yes and when they come back to Narnia again the air of it brings all their old memories back and they start to feel more like when they were kings and queens again.
That's even worse. An adult being brainwashed into being a child again.
@@LivelyLinnea exactly, it happened when they were reigning in Narnia, all their Memories of London was like a Distant dream.
Doesnt that undermine the point Lewis was trying to make about children having to mature quickly because of the war, and how hard it was for them to be children again after it was done? He went through all that just to go "then they forgot about everything and went back to being normal children lmao" at the end?
Ya, there is this plotline in the Horse and His Boy where the Calermen want to force Susan into a political marriage. I imagine going form being a fine beauty everyone swoons over to being a little girl again explains why Susan just decided it never happened after a while. The books only hand wave the effects of having this happen to them.
iirc it was treated as a "ah well some people walk away from it all" thing as if it were an inevitable personal flaw.
There was some weird moments like that. It's been a while though.
Wait, Susan was in the horse and his boy? Man, I really forgot like 90% of what happened in that book.
And 100% of the silver chair. All I remember is that it was with Eustace and Jill Pole.
As for the last battle, everything but the actual last battle and train crash thing has fallen from my memory.
I think it's time for a refresh.
From the very beginning, I love the Magicians' Nephew - those rings and puddles are so cool!
@@tinyfreckle The beautiful thing about forgetting these book series is.. you can experience the fun re-reading it!! ☺️☺️☺️
Sorta a horse and his boy takes place during the time when they were ruling as kings and queens in Narnia so it technically takes place during the lion the witch and the wardrobe
If any of y’all remember at the beginning of Prince Caspian (at least in the movie it’s been a few years since I read the book) Peters all peeved off because he’s a kid and everyone treats him like one and the others are like “chill out dude this is what we’ve got to deal with now” and Peter is like “no dude I was an adult I can’t do this”
Yeah I think I thought of Peter as someone who had grown arrogant but now it I see he is just someone whose mind is in their 30s but is a kid and is treated as such by everyone. That would be incredibly frustrating especially when you're a king who handled ever problem and told others what to do
@@trialnerror3643 Tbf no one is supposed to know about this. Like, imagine if he told what happened to him and his family. Excluding the all era mentality thing, everyone would look insane or weird saying this.
It was put in the movie because in the books it's the complete flip. They go back and all the narnians are freaking out about "High king Peter" and he's just like "Yea. That was a year ago. Now I'm Just Peter in 7th grade"
I completely understand Peter in the Prince Caspian movie because I would be LIVID if I went from living my dream life as royalty in a fantasy world, to a child in the real world 💀💀 like dang, I’d be picking fights too
Honestly imagine this from the adult perspective. In a second of real time you're son suddenly knows how to fight and KILL, has developed leadership skills necessary to lead armies, and ran a KINGDOM. And may have developed PTSD.
@@jacklau2558 May? _may_
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 Not guaranteed high probability yes. But guaranteed? No.
@@jacklau2558 High 90s I think
Because like. In the books they went through _so much_
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 very true. The WORST part is that they can't even go to therapy. It's the 40s and 50s. They'd be declared insane and taken to a mental hospital.
Makes you wonder why by the third movie Lucy is jealous of how Susan looks as she grows up. Like shouldn't she have dealt with this exact problem, and come to a resolution, when they grew up in Narnia the first time?
It's the movies version as far as I remember
The movie centered it around Lucy wanting to specifically be Susan, because, understandably, portraying Lucy as Anna Popwell was much, much easier than portraying Lucy as an incredibly idealized, beautiful beyond all reason Georgie Henley.
In the book, there IS an element of jealousy towards Susan, but it's more like: Susan has always been "the pretty one." Even when we were queens in Narnia, she was the beauty. If I read this spell, then I will be the pretty one, and I will finally know what it's like.
It's not that she didn't deal with this problem before. It's that she did, so she already knows there's no hope that she'll "grow into her looks" or something - Susan will ALWAYS be prettier than her.
Idk I think the fact it happens in different contexts and Lucy had her own niche in Narnia is the queen that went to fight with her brothers would make the comparison easier to deal with than in an ordinary context in the late 40s where Susan might have been given more positive attention by female relatives and such. They also grew up much faster and had massively more important responsibilities as monarchs. 'Who's the prettiest' pales in comparison to 'we found an uprising of terrorising Jadis loyalists we got to put down'.
@@Jemini4228 Or the northern giants who once harbored Jadis. Or the southern slaver empire who may or may not be worshipping Tzeentch.
There's a part in the books where Lucy is tempted to use magic so she can be the more beautiful sister
“I had a beaver wife”
I DONT REMEMBER THAT PART FROM THE MOVIES
I guess Mrs beaver wasn't happy with her marriage
It isn't in the books, that's for sure!
It’s in the extended editions /s
"no. Your wife had a beaver"
"ah, yeah, that makes more sense..."
Okay, as someone who hasn't read the books of seen the movie I was like no way they went there lol. Thanks for clearing that up.
Worth noting that this is nearly a chance for immortality. Live out your life in Narnia, whenever you get too old go back to England for a split second, then back to Narnia. Repeat until you're sick of living!
I'd be after doing that 1 time
That doesn't work that way though. The portal in their wardrobe only opens in its own accord.
Then I'll dig up my uncle's magic rings with my bare hands if I must! Then I can live my immortal life!
"Oh my god guys, we're back!"
-20th air raid of the day starts
"Oh f***ing hell guys, we're back!"
“We’re… we’re Children again…” said Edmund as the draft in the room gently brushed his thick, unshaven mustache.
- C.S. Lewis, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Something about hearing "I'M INTO BEAVERS NOW" sent me over the edge. You always kill it with these 😂😂
It was "WE MET SANTA! HE GAVE YOU A SWORD!" for me
"I PREFER THEM TO PEOPLE"
I never realized how actually horrifying the idea of how time in Narnia works, and if time doesn’t pass while you’re in Narnia, what happens if you die in Narnia, and don’t tell me that no harm can come to you In Narnia because that is absolutely not true
It seems that if you leave you're warped back to the place/age you were when you showed up, but that's only an if.
I'm pretty sure Strawberry, A. K. A. Fledge died in Narnia - I have no recollection of him coming back. Plus, I think he shows up in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and the Pevenskies meet him after Diggory's grown up, while he got there when Diggory was a child, so I guess if you stay in there for good, you don't come back. That'd kind of imply it's predetermined whether you come back or not, or some weird timey-wimey thing though... Though then again, the rules might change depending on how you get there, maybe those rings in The Magician's Nephew operate on different logic from the wardrobe. Which I guess would be implied, considering Polly was gone long enough for Diggory to react and follow her, instead of seemingly vanishing very briefly on his end.
Granted I'm only drawing from my distant memory of the only 2 books I finished, I only read The Magician's Nephew, The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe and, like, 1 3rd of A Horse And His Boy, tops, and some memories of the adaptations I've seen may be mingled with that too.
I believe Narnia time works faster
What’s the implication if you die in narnia? I don’t see it.
@@philltheotherguy1868
SCP Guy may have been insinuating that time would stop altogether if you died there because time apparently pauses in the place you came from until you get back. Again, there are implications that it doesn't work this way, and it may depend on how you got there, as there are various ways to arrive in Narnia, so it seems doubtful this is the case.
And I could have misconstrued what SCP Guy meant as well.
There was a man and woman taken from earth to be the first king and queen of Narnia. They lived their life out there and never returned. Actually the entire lifespan of Narnia happened in Digory Kirke's lifetime. He was there when it was created and he watched it end.
Everyone’s talking about them dating kids their “age”, but imagine how much they’d get picked on for their manner of speech?
I mean, they’re in middle school, but probably got used to talking in King James vocabulary.
this is part of the reason why i enjoy art/fic/meta that depics the pevensie kids as just straight up weird or unnerving to people around them. like there's no way you'd be able to completely shake off decades of leadership and diplomacy and, yes, killing people
Please give me some fanfic links. I NEED MOREEEEEE
do u have any examples? would love to see
That part was the wildest thing to me. They straight up killed people, and you get a glimpse of that in "The Horse and His Boy".
When I first watched this, I felt like the only person freaking out because these ADULTS are CHILDREN AGAIN!!! They would be so depressed!
0:45 “and from England?!” that got me 😂😂
I love how the first half of this was actually one of the points of the book. It was supposed to be a metaphor for young man some of them still teenangers coming back from war. How do you go back to high school or be a collage freshman after shooting at and killing people in war? How are you supposed to be kid / young adult after that?
Imagine going back to the 6th grade and your bully tries to attack you but you've have a thousand years of HEMA experience and the idea of being the final arbitrator of the law. So you crush a 12 year olds wind pipe in .2 of second by accident.
This man actually used the movie music… respect.
What can I say, I love making no money!!!
@@LikeAFoxStudios A necessary sacrifice for such an iconic score…
@@LikeAFoxStudios Demonitization in 3, 2, 1...
Man... Reversing in age to childhood would make romance feel creepy forever.
It would NEVER feel okay unless you were with what were essentially cougars.
On the one hand, book canon is that the kids quickly lost clear memories of their time in Narnia and most of it became like a dream to them. On the other hand, in book canon, we don't have any reason to believe any of them had any romances post-de-aging ever again, with the possible of exception of Susan, who did her best to convince herself none of it was ever real.
@@StarryEyed0590 The dude did Susan dirty also. His christian allegory bullshit doomed her to death because she "stopped believing" in a fantasy world as she grew up.
I long for the day where the human race collectively acknowledges how toxic religion is. But we still got a ways to go sadly...
Eh, as long as a woman is old enough (I think at least 26 years old), the fact that I could be decades older than her will not deter me, as long as she is biologically similar to my biological age or biologically older than me.
I daydream of getting to be a man in his thirties, forties or even fifties getting to be biologically 17 again and trying to go on dates with women who are anywhere from 26 to 50 years old.
At least I would be able to give a partner the best of both worlds: maturity and youth, experience and energy.
That was a bit in some story deconstructing isekai once. Dude was born with all his memories from his past life and realized "I'm mentally over 30 years older than all my peers. I either have to date someone who's young enough to be my daughter, or a pedophile. Fuck."
@@MurasakiTsukimaruwhat's the isekai's name?
ah yes, the classic "Im actually an adult, but in the body of a child, so dating another kid its TECHNICALLY legal" trope
If I was sent back to 11 years old, I’d be so repulsed by other 11 year olds.
oh noooooooooooooooo
kill it, kill it with fire
I wouldn't just be repulsed on a sexual level but on a visceral level. Kids are gross, like they don't clean properly and they're really stupid... cause their kids
@@Fridge_Fiend Imagine being expected to carry out conversations with 10 year olds as your peers. Or imagine trying to talk to an adult who's technically younger than you, but wont take you seriously because you're 10. TORTURE
Yeah, I mean the point is, you'd have an adult concept of relationships and consent, which younger kids would simply lack.
"We met Santa! HE GAVE YOU A SWORD!" I'm fucking cackling.
9 yr old Edmund going to the doctor and having to explain with a straight face, that not only is he NOT a virgin, but also has like 5 kids.
Only question would be: Who do we call first, the psyche hospital, or CPS?
CPS because they specialise in children and it's still kinda sorta taboo to diagnose children as psychotic.
It occurs to me when the entire Aslan-Ordained Royal Family disappears on a hunting trip, the nation's going into a Succession Crisis, and probably a Succession War.
Someone really needs to tell Edward Cullen about the whole dating girls their age thing
I love how What We Do in the Shadows has a vampire go “Look at me, dating a younger woman… in practically robbing the cradle! Hehehe” and it shows him kissing like a 90yo woman Lmfao
"I get older, they stay the same age."
- Edward, probably
@@lolusuck386 I need to here Robert Pattinson recite that line soooo bad now
Edward Cullen is a man of culture! 👌
If I were Edward Cullen, I would try to move onto university and then the work force at some point. It would be easier to avoid the attention of authorities if one didn't keep repeating high school.
Besides, it would be more interesting if a biologically 17 year old dude who is actually over a century old pretended to be around 30 while trying to date women above the age of 25.
He would have the maturity and experience of older men while bringing youthfulness and energy to women in their late twenties, thirties or forties.
I thought they'd be excited as they can just go back and forth between the worlds and live infinitely long. Or at least that's how I think it should work.
Personally I would still find that pretty disturbing too. Going into Narnia every day to live an entire lifetime and sneaking off before I die of old age. Existing in our world physically as a 9 year old but with the wisdom of hundreds of lifetimes.
@@LikeAFoxStudios Petsonally I'd be stoked to be young again. And you'd likely learn to handle it. And with all the accumulated wisdom you'd be very succesfull in your earthly life.
The one issue you'd might run into is growing apart from people. You'd repeatedly spend so much time away from your family and friends, that you might stop caring. Then you'd have to revivify your emotional connection every time you returned.
I'd likely end up spending more time in the closet (heh), and use our world only as a bus stop. Grow old, return home, take a dump, grab something from the fridge and start a new life.
In the final book, the kids end up living forever in Narnia! Except Susan of course.
@@genericname2747 what happens to susan?
@@alejandromedina4540 She grows up, and ends up forgetting about Narnia.
Star Vs. the Forces of Evil when it has this plotline in an episode with Marco, only for him to come back to live in the real world, the ending of the ep. implying that he's going to be haunted and struggle with this same problem, only for the show to never bring his sudden ptsd up again:
The “I’ll be right back” only to return dishevelled in an instant was what got me.
ahhh what i would give to have myself a beaver wife
Shoutout to the costumes in the first 7 seconds, they were on point. Always appreciate the work that goes into these, especially when the work exceeds the screen time.
That's the sign of a great channel.
I always feel bad for the people who come back to their own time unwillingly in these situations because the mental toll in anguish would just be traumatizing and nobody would be able to understand same thing that happened with our main boy in Star the forces of evil when he came back he was already a grown adult and he couldn't remember anything
Yeah that scene where he sat at his computer blankly and just said, 'I don't remember my password.' honestly hit me so hard like damn. And star just laughs everything off like usual just ..
Yeah those kids were the kings and queens. Not only did they get screwed but the kingdom did as well! I would feel so guilty after not being able to return. You just basically failed you entire job because you walked through the wrong grove. Plus you can't see any of the friends you made in the last 20 years again
Tbh, this is why I loved Peter's ego in the Prince Caspian film. Him & Caspian clashing made so much sense to me.
This is something I've always thought about and wanted to explore in my own writing. How characters would actually be psychological impacted by meeting LITERAL monsters, going to space, finding out mythical creatures exist, killing things and various other things outside the common human experience. Like most of these kids would have PTSD or an existential crisis. Especially constantly fighting evil forces trying to kill you.
Gregor the Overlander, actually explored this a little bit. It follows the main character after they fall through a vent in their apartment basement and originally follows him as he tries to protect his little sister and save his dad, returning home afterward. But he remembers the world he uncovered, and his dad isn't just magically better, so he doesn't just go back to his life. He constantly reflects on his experiences in the Underland. He keeps getting pulled back into their world and going home again, and in the final book, he just doesn't feel like he fits in his normal life anymore. The hobbies he enjoyed before are completely distant to him. His whole family is affected. We don't get to see him fully recover, but we do see him reflect on how he's going to.
I’ve always felt bad about that, since it’s revealed in the sequel (at least the movie) that Tumnus and the the Beavers and all them have been dead a long time. Everything they knew is gone. It’s especially tragic because I’ve always hated the thought of not being able to say goodbye to your loved ones, and Tumnus was always my favorite character. It’s just an unfortunate situation.
I can’t believe so much emotion came from a metaphor about god or whatever.
I always thought it was crazy no one addressed the beaver romance elements of the movie because they are pretty hard to ignore imo
Was that really in the movie? I don’t recall that!
@@kevinfischer4869 No, it wasn't
@@BTBHSOHBOYAww 😢
Well their was a beaver romance...
But it was between 2 beavers 🦫
@@kevinfischer4869Its mostly just heavily implied.
THIS. I've always said how pissed I'd be if I were them and I had to grow up ALL OVER AGAIN.
This is EXACTLY how I expected them to react when I saw this movie back in theaters. After the movie my mom was like “wow, they’re kids again….that’s gonna suck.” And I was like “damn…all that puberty…they gotta do it again”
This is partly why the fan story "Elegant and fine" resonated with me. In it, Susan could not cope with losing everything - including the dwarf she loved - and turning into a child again. That eventually took her to a place where she did not want to remember Narnia - and was no longer a friend of Narnia.
Look up T Kingfisher's story if you are interested.
Only watched the movies
I was very intrigued by the four kings love life
" now I'm into beavers. What do I do with that?"
I don't know man. I don't think I've ever seen a beaver fursona so there's nothing for you here.
The part that always gets me is "We met Santa! He gave you a sword!"
I actually read a story once (that wasn't Narnia) where a girl goes through her whole life living with her friends but feeling as if she doesn't belong with them for some reason, despite having grown up with them since childhood. Come to find out that she's been dreaming this whole time and that her friends are actually characters from a video game and she's from the real world. This is, of course, completely life shattering as she's basically had to live through life twice and she eventually ends up pushing away all of her real life friends because she can't cope with her fictional friends not being real. Though it actually had a pretty happy(?) ending, as her friends (the fictional ones) end up (somehow) coming to the real world and take her back to her life in the video game one.
Damn, what was the name?
@@abbaszaidi2615 well, unfortunately it was from a short story collection that I read when I was younger and I can't for the life of me remember what the collection was called 😓
That ending sounds like she just died (or worse, killed herself) or went insane
Even worse for the little sister who was probably dating and partying every night in Narnia and now she's trapped in a 5 years old body and has to wait over 10 years for getting back to that lifestyle.
Ikr🤣
The beaver lines caught me off guard!
Going back to being a kid again.. depends on what type of person you were.. If you're a loner, it be a lot easier not to want a relationship. Shame they had to become kids again as young adults.. if they were way past their prime, it be like a second life.
I think the worst part would be being treated like a kid again. Knowing that you have more maturity or sense than most adults you meet but appearing to then as a child.
The kids had a means to extend their lives into the millions of years. All they had to do was enter the wardrobe, spend a lifetime as kings and queens in Narnia, then pop out for a few seconds to reset back as children.
Sadly the wardrobe was a one time use
Aslan died so you could get acne.
“Wait…. Fuck!”
“What?”
“We were like ten years old when we went through that door right?”
“Oh no…”
“Oh yeah…”
“NO! FUCK THAT! I AM NOT GOING THROUGH PUBERTY AGAIN!”
Either way their fucked, no one will believe their were the god kings of legend so they have to reearn that or be peasant in their own kingdoms plus their age resets there to
if they stay well they be working at mcdonalds.
I kinda like how The Magicians explored this concept- it basically took Narnia, named it 'Fillory,' then made it way more depressing and real. None of it really comes into play until like season 2 but technically all of it ties back to 'Fillory' in some fashion. I don't want to give any spoilers because the story is quite remarkable and has a lot of twists and turns along the way.
I gotta check this out!
@@sele6138 It's on Netflix!
Shoutout to Margo for being my favorite character in all of television 😌
@@captainjirk9564 I suggest you try the books. Things are quite different and the characters behave in very different ways.
@@Ikajo Do the books have a satisfying ending/narrative? During season 3-ish I started falling off and getting bored, and I frankly disliked Alice's character following season 1.
"Now we're just poor??? AND FROM ENGLAND????"
This was somewhat addressed in the later books. Narnia seems more like a vivid dream once they return, then back in Narnia they start to regain their Narnian skills and vivid memories.
Ha ha, I remember having a dream about this once. Peter was as horrified as he was here, but Edmund seemed pretty happy to get to be young and handsome again, guess he'd hit his prime when he got into the wardrobe.
You know what must suck for them? They had to watch adults fumble their way through massive war reconstruction when they probably knew better having gone through it as kings and queens of Narnia. They would have known how to do it better because of experience but had to watch the adults stumble around through it like they did the first time around.
"I was ripped right?"
"You were shredded."
🤣🤣🤣
Aslan: You've returned, and in doing so...why are you aiming your bow at me?
The First King:....I never got to see them grow up...
Wouldn't matter Aslan is Jesus also just ask the professor for his multiverse rings he was there when Narnia was created hell it's his fault the white witch is there
Really fucked up when you give it any thought at all.
@Herstory Narnia is basically heaven at that point.
But also, you forgot to mention that Susan didn't die, and has now outlived her siblings. (I think her parents die as well, I don't remember)
@@genericname2747 yes, her parents die as well. I don't think it's explained why they were on this train, but they were there.
@@Ola-cb1xt They just decided to go on a trip without Susan
@Herstory It's pretty clearly stated that all the worlds are just "shadows" of the real world that is Aslan's Kingdom, and that even centuries of life in the "shadowlands" amounts to what is essentially the first paragraph of the first page of the epilogue of life; fretting that it is over is akin to being terrified that the opening scroll of Star Wars Episode IV ended and the movie proper finally begins.
Narnia, even more than its contemporary Lord of the Rings, is a literary work deeply steeped in Christian themes, which includes the existence of an afterlife infinitely greater than the first life; in fact, the all-consuming obsession with living forever in the mortal world, whether it be the 1940s United Kingdom or "Arda Marred", is what brought about such tragic figures as Jadis or the Ring Wraiths.
@@genericname2747 IIRC she kind of drifted apart from her siblings because she stopped caring for Narnia or other "childish" things in general, becoming obsessed with the affairs of her "real" life as opposed to the actual reality of the Narnian multiverse.
And to be fair to her siblings, they initially didn't even realize they were dead until much later on their journey to Aslan's Kingdom.
This is your best sketch yet! Joel Haver put me on to you guys and I'm so happy he did; you're hilarious! Thanks so much!
Just wait till they remember they're back in World War II
Imagine the horror of being a tactical genius who kept an entire country at peace for over a decade, and then getting back too young to enlist and no one will listen to you when you do, even though you KNOW you could save hundreds of lives.
Well, you could... but the problem is that while you probably have the interpersonal experience, all your tactical, strategic, and logistical experience is quasi-medieval fights involving supernatural creatures, magic, and swords. Some of it's adaptable, but war is a moving body of knowledge, and you'd have as much to learn as as anyone else trying to get into the service.
This reminds me of the star trek deep space nine episode where O'Brian gets convicted of a crime and serves his sentence in a virtual world that has time flow at a different rate. He basically experiences a life sentence in a day or so. Once his sentence is over he just has to go back to work as a starfleet officer like it never happened. Causes issues with his marriage but I don't remember if it's a long term thing or just an episode or two
"I've KILLED people"
"Same!"
They go back to being kids mentally as well when they leave. Every time they go back to Narnia it says how the narnia air makes them seem older and they re-remember how to sword fight and stuff. I just finished listening to all the books as audiobooks
I always did think it was weird (and completely unrealistic) that not one of the four of them ever had a family they would have left behind, and they never really seemed to be affected by the fact they lived adult lives before being put back into their childhood. Maybe this was different in the books (I haven't read them) and it was like this on screen because it was a children's movie. But the way I guess I'd rationalize it is that they only kind of remember the years they spent in Narnia after defeating the White Witch, and most of the time those memories are locked away. Kind of like Rory from Doctor Who, who usually doesn't remember the 2000 years he lived as the Last Centurion. He knows those memories exist but for the most part can't access them for the sake of his own mental state and being able to live like a normal person. I'd imagine it would be the same way for the four siblings, otherwise they'd live their lives being very aware they were decades older mentally than their peers. We see in the second movie that their personalities have pretty much reverted back to what they were before.
Well they were the only humans there in the first movie so they couldn't start families...unless they go Targaryen
Two things, from the books:
1. Coming back from Narnia has a much stranger effect on the mind. They remember it, but it's almost dreamlike. It wasn't quite as hard to re-adapt to being a kid. The world they are in has a drastic effect on them; when it Narnia (often surmised by the characters to just be the clean Narnian air), they find themselves stronger, healthier, their minds clearer, more alive. When returning to our world, they lose all that. It's not too crazy that they can go back to being kids.
2. But as I said, they DO remember. Their lives ARE changed. As they grew, they would often discuss Narnia, and if and when they'd ever go back. Recall that C.S. Lewis was a very religious Christian, and his books were an allegory of the Christian life. Time in Narnia, and the way it changes your outlook on life, is an allegory of salvation, of the life-changing effect of new life in Christ. They see the world differently, and while they are still in it, they no longer consider it their "home". So they live on, paying their dues and being responsible in their daily life here on Earth, but always looking forward to when they can return "home"...eventually, to Aslan's Country, which is in no uncertain terms Heaven.
"AND WE'RE BRITISH?!?"
He said in an American accent.
let me remind everyone that the Chronicle of Narnia took place during the German Blitz of WWII. These kids left to be with their uncle to escape the war. Imagine going from king of a nation to a kid during WWII
If there is still a Narnia community out there, it’s time to bring back this franchise on its feet. I NEED the Silver Chair on screen.
Come on people, let’s rise, FOR NARNIA !!!
I would love more Narnia
@@trialnerror3643me too!
"We met *SANTA."*
Made me spit out my drink. I legitimately forgot they did that in Narnia.
Basically Morty after he first played ROY
I lost it when he went on the beaver rant. Oh those poor children :(
The bigger mindfuck is the last battle where every child is just straight up dead. Especially how Susan would react to her whole family killed
This video has been so fucking funny oh my great golly goodness
Hell yes brother I AGREE WITH YOU
This is everything I ever thought about their return to Earth jumbled into less than two minutes. Glorious and brilliant. I was gone from the moment of "I'VE KILLED PEOPLE!"
Ugh, if you don't feel this one in your soul you didn't read Narnia as a kid 😂
Yeah this is what I always imagined the ending of the movie to be like 😂
another thing to mention about the books is when they went back to england and their child bodies they essentially "forgot" their past selves. not to say they couldn't remember it. But they lost their strength and the regal and the goodness that Narnia inspired in them. When they go back to help prince caspian it takes them a few days and they begin to regain their royal aura's and their abilities to fight and adventure.
Susan even goes as far to literally laugh at the idea of Narnia and tells her siblings that they are silly for believing it was ever real. Just imagination/playtime.
It's something that genuinely doesn't really get addressed in the books, only lightly.
Realistically, it's Quasi-immortality. Live a whole life in Narnia, go home, age back, go back to Narnia. You could do that for ages, time barely passes in the real world. Every second becomes a life time lived in Narnia, and in Narnia you'd become a mythical being that comes back every 1000 or so years.
I've thought the exact same thing! 😂😂😂 FINALLY SOMEBODY says what NEEDED to be said! 😂
As someone in their 30's, nothing worse to me than the idea of being thrown back into my childhood. I lived it once, that was enough for me.
Based kid going back in for a sec and being like "I'll just spend a quick millennia, Edward will never know."
no that's not it, he wanted to check how many time had passed and he saw that 1000 years had passed so he quickly came back to tell his brother
15 IQ
"I'M A CHILD AGAIN BUT I STILL HAVE A MUSTACHE AS A CHILD"
This always bothered me haha
Its taken someone 30 years to parody this aspect. I.C.B.I
I like the other scenario where they lean into the adult mind sets they have and basically take over the world.
Does the Pevensies being British and ruling a foreign land make them colonizers?
Mustache guy:
"We are children again!"
*ever highschool drama ever*
this is so good i thought the sketch premise was gonna be just that they forgot narnia really fast
Damn that would be so sad
The talking beaver wife got me the most 😂
How to TLDR the start of Prince Caspian
"And now we're poor and from England?!" LMAO!
It's at the same level of a Rick and Morty episode.
