Netflix is making a 'Woke' version of Narnia...

Netflix Narnia GENDER SWAPS Aslan?!
Narnia Fans are FURIOUS!

The "reimagined" feminist Narnia from Greta Gerwig is reportedly casting Meryl Streep as Aslan and Narnia fans are NOT happy. Greta Gerwig plans to gender-swap Aslan, a key Christian allegory character, into a female role in Netflix's Narnia adaptation, sparking outrage among fans. The Netflix Narnia adaptation is criticized as a potential feminist manifesto that may alienate Christian fans and desecrate the original work's religious themes. Gerwig's involvement is controversial due to her feminist ideology and history of "weird" projects like Barbie and Snow White, raising concerns about faithfulness to C.S. Lewis's vision. Fans view the proposed changes as a deliberate attack on the Christian symbolism central to the Narnia series, potentially erasing its spiritual message. The adaptation risks losing its core audience by prioritizing modern ideological agendas over the original narrative's religious and moral foundations. Gerwig's approach may fundamentally alter the power dynamics and theological underpinnings of Narnia, potentially compromising its essence as a Christian allegory.
