Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Jan 18, 2011 20:39

Yesterday tolielikeyou and I went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in theaters and it was amazing. So, in the need to babble pointlessly, I have decided to post my thoughts here on the off chance that someone will read and comment.
( Spoilers under the cut. )

pairing: edmund/caspian, type: ramble, type: opinions, fandom: the chronicles of narnia

LOL, you're right, Caspian was really uninterested in Lucy throughout that whole fight!

Awwww, boys. :D

So desperate was he to protect his ~secret~ lover.

lmao I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it
I totally agree edmund/caspian surpassed peter/caspian
and the end i was just like "kiss already"

I didn't notice it until an hour after the movie, and when I did it thrilled me. (*Is a dork*)

I might be slightly biased on the whole P/C thing since they were never my cup of tea, but yeah E/C rocks.

when the credits rolled by I ended up laughing and the slashiness that was protrayed in the movie and my sister just shook her head lol
well I do like p/c but I watch videos for them more than read fics but for e/c I totally read fics and watch vids and im going to have to wait til the VoDT comes out on dvd cause i have some video ideas and I have fic ideas which is not good at all since I have school and i have so many unfinished stuff for my other fandoms

Yeah, I always found it funny how utterly slashy these movies seem to come out.

I've been wanting to write an E/C fic, but would probably have to rewatch Prince Caspian before I did it. But I can't wait to see some of your fics if you ever do write them!

Oh, dear you!

You are entirely too right! Caspian had his eyes and thoughs fixated into Edmund through the whole movie; and now you mention it, the fight scene with sea dragon would end up by Caspian showing Edmund what he thought about endagering himself... If only rating and screen time allowed ;)

holdsustogether January 19 2011, 21:39:09 UTC

Stupid ratings! :P

*joins the squee* I just saw the movie this past Monday, and you're absolutely right, there's more subtext than you can shake a stick at! You know, at first I made a mental effort to take off my slash goggles since I was so sad about Peter & Susan's absence, but... but then the duel scene happened, and Edmund and Caspian just handed me shiny new goggles ON A SILVER PLATTER. xD Seriously, just-- how epic was that scene?! And pretty much every other scene with them :D

I have a hard time deciding for which there was more subtext, Peter/Caspian or Edmund/Caspian... Peter & Caspian had the whole rivalry!sex thing going for them, at least in the beginning, and I for one was unwilling to see the subtext at first. Because, y'know, Edmund was right there, and maybe I could have happily shipped Peter/Caspian if he'd been absent for some reason, but he was there (and still so slashable with Peter! *_*). Edmund and Caspian, on the other hand, have the makings of a more, I don't know, equal relationship, maybe. I just can't see Peter willingly ( ... )

holdsustogether January 19 2011, 21:38:30 UTC

I did too since I didn't think there would be anything worth slashing... I was wrong XD

I pretty much agree with this whole thing.

Yes, Caspian would get an F if there were a test on secret relationships.

theflyingbeet January 19 2011, 20:02:16 UTC

Agreed. :-D

Caspian/Edmund was some sort of "fan service", big time.

The scene where they are crossing swords aboard the Dawn Treader almost made me squeal. Guh.

holdsustogether January 19 2011, 21:35:15 UTC

How much innuendo was in that scene?!

campscoline7373 January 21 2011, 13:10:54 UTC

Dunno, but it certianly make sexual vibes *vibrates* in the air.
When I was watching the movie, I was thinking to myself 'There is no way they planned to look and sound the way it does. I mean, this movie is more slash then Brockback Mountains!"

I imagine when people of the prod, when the film is finished, are all watching this and there is a big silence at the end until someone say:

"Umm... It's for 12 years old girls anyway. SO they can REALLY get it, no?"

*burst in laughers*

holdsustogether January 23 2011, 05:28:39 UTC

Please, the whole theater was shaking with the ~vibes~.
I imagine there was one person watching it being made with this little smirk on his face and when someone asks why he just says "Nothing, nothing at all." before laughing. Mostly because that person would be. *Wheres slash goggles like they're going out of style*

My niece wanted to go see so I took her (I didn't mind, really. By really I mean at all). She's thirteen and was smirking throughout the whole thing. That little devious ones when teenagers are thinking dirty thoughts and think they're being sneaky. When I asked her why during final credits she said, and I quote, "So, I guess this is a message from God/Aslan stating that he approves of gays?"

I was so proud.
