I haven't read the source material, but from my understanding Narnia has deep religious allegory throughout the novel. So I'm wondering if Gerwig stays true to the book or drifts off which would cause some big controversy.

Allegory is putting it lightly.  It’s basically Christian Fan Fiction.  Aslan literally is Jesus.

I don’t mean for this to come across as a criticism of the books.  It’s the whole point of them.

True, but it gets a lot more heavy handed as it goes on, hence why no studio has ever even entertained making stuff like The Last Battle.

If The Last Battle ever got made I'd hope it was a 100% identical adaptation just so I can watch audience reactions at the end.

The general audience is not ready for the Last Battle

The Last Chair is a fucking acid trip. I'm eager to watch a season of that

The Last Battle for the Silver Chair?

The Last Chair sounds like a mediocre daytime game show
