The Deal With Susan...And My Childhood

I was watching the second Narnia. Even though it wasn't in the book, I loved how Susan and Caspian had that whole crush thing going on. Anna is the perfect Susan, and Ben Barnes is hot, no doubt about it. My heart literally cracked when he said he wished they had more time together...why couldn't they have spent more time together? I know its totally against the books, but theres nothing like a cute Narnian romance.

Anyway, I decided to venture on and read all the Narnia books on a lazy Saturday. I have to say, but it's really heartbreaking how the series ends with everyone dying, leaving Susan the only Pevensie kid left alive. I find it really unfair that she had to become a conceited woman like that. She was one of the original characters, and it's sad that she grew up to forget Narnia. I mean, come on. This girl just lost her family. And honestly, just because she liked lipstick and parties, it seems cruel to have her be the only surviving member of the golden four. I thought Aslan said she had gotten everything she needed from Narnia, so she couldn't go back. Seriously, if I was told I could never go back to my childhood wonderland, I would stop believing too.

Also, I'm going to miss Anna and William in the next movie. They did such an amazing job in the first movie. Even thiugh they're older now, I hope they make some sort of appearance (well, without Anna, to be true to the books) in the last movie. Or have a scene of Susan mourning so Anna gets some of that last screen experience with the rest of the group, or somthing in an epilouge of the movies (to make it more family friendly-all fans of the books are seriously going to hate me for this) of Susan eventually joining them in Aslan's country back in her younger form (maybe she'll get back with Caspian in the movie adaptation...don't shoot me!).

You know, Narnia has been a part of my childhood like the Pevensies. I grew up dreaming of joining them and marrying Edmund...for some reason, I never crushed on Peter like the rest of my classmates. Now that I'm older, its nice to get back and explore my childhood...or my present life. As Ed says in the movie, I'm still a child.

So who knows. Maybe I'll take a break from the world of Twilight (God knows I need one) and explore Narnia again. Maybe i'll have that crazy Narnia wedding dream I had when I was nine again.
