the end of prince caspian and later dawn treader confirming for all of narnia and their history and legends that the pevensies are still alive is crazy when you think about it. they died once, and they will also never die. they are so far from you that they exist outside your time. they can never come back, but they're still out there. your legends, your saints, your heroes are very much still alive, as they have been for hundreds of years before you and will be for hundreds of years to come. you loved them and you knew them and you will never see them again. they are a haunting that never goes away. how fucked up is that.

the plot of prince caspian is so funny to me it’s like “locals bring back ghosts from hundreds of years ago to help defeat the evil king” except it’s from the point of view of the ghosts

whetstonefires

the ghosts, not actually being dead, spend a significant fraction of the early book scrounging for food on the deserted island that used to be their house

and that scrounging for food, and uncertainty around where exactly they are, is something that adaptations should lean into more

And of course it’s the “ghosts” of the Great Kings and Queens from hundreds of years ago but right now they’re just kids so no one’s actually sure they have the right guys at first sight

No, but the characters themselves talk about this in the book!

“‘Aren’t there lots of stories about magic forcing people out of one place ― out of one world ― into another? I mean, when a magician in The Arabian Nights calls up a Jinn, it has to come. We had to come, just like that.’

”'Yes,’ said Peter, ‘I suppose what makes it feel so strange is that in the stories it’s always someone in our world who does the calling. One doesn’t really think about where the Jinn’s coming from.’

‘And now we know what it feels like for the Jinn,’ said Edmund with a chuckle. ‘Golly! It’s a bit uncomfortable to know that we can be whistled for like that.’“

I’ve never thought about it like this and now I can’t stop laughing

I love Prince Caspian, and I love the dialogue in that scene. I have to add the line Edmund says next. He says, “It’s worse than what Father says about living at the mercy of the telephone.” If that’s not relevant in our age of instant communication, I don’t know what is. It is also hilarious. Edmund is hilarious.
