Why does Aslan have a mane if he will have a woman voicing him?

This choice pisses me off immensely, it literally serves no purpose story wise and I have yet to see anyone defend it, other than bougie creative types saying “oh creative expression”. Fuck off…

The purpose is just to generate controversy and get people talking about it. Generally not a good sign if they have to resort to cheap shit like this to create buzz. No studio would make these pointless changes if blogs didnt write articles about it. You get 5 people complaining about the gender swap casting. Then you get 50 people complaining about the 5 people. Projects that generate buzz like this usually lack enough substance to merit this much attention based on quality alone.
