But I need to hear Aslan's voice. If they modulate it into something that doesn't sound like a woman, I MAY give it a chance

Because it’s the last ditch hope for a fool that doesn’t want them to be this stupid.lol.

Yeah, I saw Jimmy's glowing post on Facebook about it. He's a straight up occultist, so it's not surprising. I'm sure money had something to do with it as well.

Robert Plant hated that song to the point he paid radio stations not to play it at one time. Not having the song in the actual movie and just in the trailer makes me feel better about its possibilities. Supposedly they had to pay LZ 2M for the rights.

I think they’re just trying to get buzz and clicks like with the Odyssey stuff.
We see in the preview that Aslan is a male lion. Not a women.
I bet at some point in the movie, Aslan is speaking through someone or something, and that’s where this shows up. A “she’s talking, but it’s really Aslan” situation. No real problem with that.
This has all just been a troll job to generate buzz.

If so, that certainly isn't what they announced. Gerwig said she is Aslan. LINK
quote:
Greta Gerwig recently discussed her adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ fantasy novel The Magician’s Nephew with Empire, explaining why she cast Meryl Streep as Aslan, the god-like lion who is depicted as male in the books and previous screen adaptations.
“I wanted someone who was profound but not pretentious, who had gravitas but not morose self-seriousness,” the Barbie filmmaker said. “Someone who could communicate depth and pathos as well as joy and delight.”
Gerwig, who previously worked with Streep on 2019’s Little Women, explained that she wanted her Aslan to feel authoritative because of the performer’s age. “I wanted someone who was older than 70, so there was a wisdom of experience, but who also had the capacity of fresh wonder, like a child,” she said. “And also to be one of the greatest actors to ever do it. That list is not a long one.”
quote:
Empire referred to Aslan as “he” in its reporting and its social media post about the cover, and a Netflix rep said that Empire’s post “says it all.”

Correct, which makes the melts even funnier

Wouldn't be the first time Meryl Streep played a man...hell wouldn't be the first time she played a man in a fantasy movie centered around children

I liked the trailer
Jadis using magic in the real world to destroy the literal pub where CS Lewis and Tolkein and the all male writing club hung out gives me extreme trepidation

Yeah I just realized brushing my teeth I had the wrong old white lady
I came back to admit it but your double entendre wins the day

And it just happened to be a female. What are the odds?

I am unfamiliar with this book I think
I read the original series as a very young child and only revisited via the BBC series and the live action movies. Never the actual books.
Soni don't think I read this one because it's separate right?

I won't pretend to know who that image is, but I'm certain it's not a character as important to that story as Aslan is to the Chronicles of Narnia.

Yeah, and I read them as a kid so I don't remember a lot
But I don't think that character can use magic in the real world and that is an essential plot point
And the pub she destroys in the trailer is the same name as the real world one where Lewis and Tolkein and their all male club met up

Could just be a callback and nod to them. Let's hope that's it.

I have, and now I remember the Glenn Close cameo. My point still stands though. That isn't an important character to the movie and isn't nearly as important to Hook as Aslan is to the Narnia series.
