One of most potentially disturbing things I have heard about the PC film is that there will be some "antagonism" between Caspian and the Pevensies. Adamson even said that Peter and Caspian have an "intense argument" as some point. One report also suggested that Caspian will start out more "cocky" than he is in the book.
The idea of Caspian and Peter shouting at each other just kills me. Caspian should have an incredible awe and reverence of Peter, because he's a legendary character staright out of his bedtime stories! The myth became real.
But, perhaps what they are trying to do is make pride one of the major themes in the movie. At the end of the book, Aslan asks Caspian if he feels sufficient to take up the kingship, Caspian answers no, and Aslan says that that means he is in fact sufficient. Caspian's humility is what makes him fit to be king.
Miraz, on the other hand, is the opposite. The Telmarines had the advantage. All Miraz had to do was continue fighting a little longer, and they would've won. But, in the end, his own pride took away the victory. He simply couldn't take Glozelle and Sopespian calling him a coward, so his own pride forced him to accept Peter's challenge to single combat. And he ended up dead, and his army defeated.
The hero humbled himself, and so was exalted.
The villain exalted himself, and so was humbled.
Perhaps what they are trying to do is extend that idea to the Pevensies, and make them a part of it.
That idea actually sounds good to me.....But it certaintly does not excuse Peter and Caspian actually shouting at each other!
Sounds like what happened with LWW is going to happen with PC. Conceptually, the LWW movie had good ideas for adaptation. But a lot of them were just poorly executed.
