Voyage of the Dawn Treader

[holdsustogether]

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.

*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 submitting to anyone but Edmund in a relationship, even though he did pass down his crown to Caspian in the end. But I quite agree with you--Peter/Edmund will forever be my OTP and nothing can ever live up to them! ♥

... wow, that was long--sorry for rambling! ^.^ (And I never noticed Caspian's mostly ignoring Lucy during the fight with the serpent, lol! But now that you mention it, it's fairly obvious! Caspian obviously fails at the whole ~secret relationship~ thing. XD ♥)

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.
