They're the epitome of modern feminism. They're defining it culturally all the time. Cultural feminism has poster girls as Greta Gerwig and Charlie XCX. And I think Greta Gerwig will want to turn the White Witch into an empowered anti-heroine and make her a figure of cultural disruption in a positive way. That's my fear with this spinoff, this reimagining of Narnia. C.S.

Lewis wrote The White Witch. as a clear symbol of evil. She embodied Satan's pride, deception, and rebellion against divine order, against God himself. She's supposed to be Satan in a fur coat. That's the White Witch. I mean, he was very, C.S. Lewis was very explicit about the allegories he was making in the Narnia series. Like, this is not disputed. White Witch, Satan in a fur coat.

Jadis is prideful. She wipes out land in her home planet to just flex her power, just like Satan subverted God's creation. Jadis' eternal winter and her tyrannical rule over Narnia is in a fallen world, is only redeemed by Aslan. And Aslan's Christ-like sacrifice. I mean, does this sound familiar to the biblical story, you guys? It's the same thing. It's totally allegorical.

This is what we're talking about. So my fear is we're just going to flip C.S. Lewis's story about good and evil and turn it into some sort of feminist anthem, which is what Greta Gerwig always does. And Charlie XCX is the embodiment of we're going to have like Jadis is this morally gray character and she's misunderstood. And really, she's kind of cool, like how Disney made Maleficent.

in Beauty and the Beast, actually kind of a cool, good character with this backstory that explains why she's evil. I'm like, I'm sick of that. Can we just have some good and evil, some black and white stories? Why does everything have to be morally gray?

And in life, there's a lot of moral gray area, but when you're talking about children's stories, and we're trying to teach children about the good and the true and the beautiful, you have to portray evil. That is why you have the white witch who is so transparently evil. She's the devil. And then you have Aslan, who is Christ.

This wouldn't be a creative tweak that I am imagining will probably happen in this remake. It would be a cultural erasure of the West's spiritual heritage. And I know that sounds crazy and far out, but it's true. Replacing the battle between divine good and evil with a trendy, secular feminist narrative is an attack on our civilization, I think.
