Susan fighting in PC

Postby glumPuddle » September 5th, 2007, 12:21 am

It appears that Susan will do a fair amount of fighting in the Prince Caspian movie.

GymFan15 attended Comic-Con and saw a clip: "This is going to make most of you mad, sad, glad, whatever ... guys ... prepare for Eowyn #2. Yep, I'm afraid our Susan was kicking some serious tail today. Fighting with a sword; with at least one, maybe two soldiers. Sorry, purists, but it happened."

Two days later, NarniaWeb posted this:
We have confirmed that Susan’s involvement in fighting in the new movie was a decision made jointly by co-producer Douglas Gresham and director Andrew Adamson. Mr Gresham said they came to a compromise, "which is what must always happen in logical and intelligent discussion between two folks with a shared aim but with slightly different approaches as to how to achieve it. Andrew made some very good points and I hope I did also, and we came to the conclusions which will be evidenced on screen when you see Prince Caspian."
"But just by the way there is nothing at all wrong with being a girly girl, believe it or not and in the face of much modern fashion, girls are supposed to be girls, and not poor imitations of boys," he added.


Reading that report, I think that Gresham and Adamson discussed the wrong issue. In my opinion, the issue is not "battles are ugly when women fight." It's just that it's simply very out of character for Susan to fight.

I guess if she just fires off a few arrows, I could live with that. But if she's totally kicking Telmarine butt and fighting like Legolas...I'm going to have a hard time sitting through that.

"Queen Susan is more like an ordinary grown-up lady" - I think the crucial word here is "ordinary" - same meaning as "normal" ("regular" in USA).

Lucy, on the other hand, while a younger "grown-up lady", is still involved in the active battles etc.

"But if the Witch could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
