My favs would be Edmund and Peter.
Although Susan didn't believe anymore, it wasn't Susan choosing not to believe, it was C. S. Lewis and the fact that he was a Sexist. He was trying to show that woman are inferior by saying that Susan was trying to be mature, in even when by being mature she was in fact being quite immature since we all know she was wrong.
So when I say that Susan is my least favourite character, I don't mean I dislike Susan, but rather I dislike Clive Staples Lewis' view of woman.
(Gosh I hope someone reads this other than myself.)
I like them all. Without one, they don't have a balance.
And Lunatic, I must beg to differ. In fact, given the time period he was writing in, I think that C.S. Lewis had a very positive portrayal of women. Jill, Lucy, Aravis, and Polly to name a few. I think Lucy was probably the character shown in the best light. Just because Susan eventually disowned Narnia does not mean he was sexist.
I LOVE YOU SUSAN
yeah.
im sorry SUSAN!
And I cannot BELIEVE the people that dislike Peter, Edmund, and Lucy! :O
"Grown Up? Grown up indeed, I wish she would grow up!" -Lady Polly.
About this sexist stuff...well Lucy was always shown in the best light...she always was right, which would annoy me but Lucy is so sweet, it's impossible for me to hate her.
Edmund is awsome. I admit he was mean in LWW but I swear he is great later on.
I don't care about Peter much...he's ok I guess
Eustace is nice in The Silver Chair and The Last Battle so I din't choose him. :)
Never liked Peter much.
For people who hate Edmund and Eustance, Narnia is about redemption and growing into a better person and that's what they did. Plus you can't really hate a character if you've only seen the movies, reading the book is how you grow WITH the characters. We also know the only reason Edmund acted up was because of jealousy and the fact that his dad had gone to war and he felt abandoned and looked over. Eustace was just raised by twats...
You say you hate Susan because she stopped believing? A lot of people lose faith if they believe they've been abandoned, which is probably how she felt after she returned from Narnia. Whist she was in America, she changed into a mature lady who, whilst she may never have fully believed it, thought Narnia was just a game.
Lucy is so cute. The reason a lot of it revolves around her is because she has a closer connection to Aslan because she believes stronger than the others. Her faith nd bravery is unwavering, and that's why. She's called Valiant for a reason ya'know.
Peter just looks out for his family, mostly. I agree that he looks over Edmund and Susan, but he still loves them and if they were in danger he would protect them. Even though he's my least favourite, I still like him :)
...
So, yeah! ...
EDIT: C.S. Lewis was not a sexist. If it had been Peter or Edmund who stopped believing because they had "grown up", no one would have called that sexist. But since Susan is a girl, she's required to be shown in the best light at all times? Stop overreacting. -_-
Okay sorry about that, just not happy with those people right now. *shoots one of them and cackles*
I picked Eustace mainly because i don't feel for him or know him like i do the others.... Even Susan. She annoys me sometimes... But I can't pick her.
About Lewis being Sexist.... *laughs* seriously!? Guys... Lucy came, Jill did... And Aravis was a strong female role. Lucy was also mentioned as being as good as any boy. Besides, Lewis said that Susan's story remains untold, an she might've gotten in later. ;)
And I also find it disgusting how many people picked Susan! Well I wouldn't know about her in the books, but I don't understand why anyone would hate her in the movies. Hate is a very strong word, and I don't dislike or hate characters easily... I don't really hate any characters in the movies or only a few at least!
So I definitely choose NONE!
ANYWAY. Lucy or Peter. I thought Peter was quite a little snot in the movie at times, clearly favoring Lucy over his other siblings, especially Susan, who he got unnecessarily snippy with a lot, Eben when she was right. But he's OK in the books.
But Lucy... She's obviously a basically nice kid with good faith but holy crap, lewis just dotes on her as the Special One, which is a little irritating but somewhat understandable given she's based on his godchild. But what's really annoying is how greatly ASLAN himself favors her, for no good reason in particular (in fact Aslan comes off as a bit of a jerk at times, which is unfortunate since he's an occurs parallel of Jesus). She does have a selfish stage later and does get portrayed correctly as wrong for it thankfully, but I find her a little annoying in the movies where she just helps Peter harp on Susan.
None of them are bad but I'm really tired of how the movies all but shove Peter and Lucy in your face as the "better" siblings, when really they just come off as slighty self-righteous Purity Sues.
Also: I can't believe people say they hate Edmund! He becomes so amazing<3
I love Peter for his bravery and his loving natural towards his family and Narnia. He's a great leader and more so a great older brother. Turn he can have a bad temper at time and in the movies he let his pride get to, but I will always love as the Magnificent King of Narnia.
I love Susan for her tender heart and comforting natural. She care's for the Narnia people and would take in orphans and treat them like they her children. (example Corin in HHB) It true that she fell away, but as C.S. Lewis said 'She has time to mend.' I for one strongly believe she will. For one of the vary theme in Narnia is redemption and her betrayal is no different from Edmund's and I'll always love her as the Gentle Queen of Narnia
I love Edmund for ability to recolonize his betrayal and doesn't think about going back. He is now one of the most loyal of the family and he makes me laugh. Turn he might make a few sarcastic remakes and he not the friendly of the group, but I still love him as the Just King of Narnia.
I love Lucy for her faith and seemly her endless joy. She is the one I relate to the most, and the one who made me fall in love with theses story's, True she make may come across as annoying to some and she may seem childish, but I so am I. I'll always love her as the Valiant Queen of Narnia.
I Love Eustace for the kindness he develop and for willing to help Narnia and his friends. He's openness to adventurer even and he reason make him at truly great member of the this group. True there are time when he almost deserves his funny name, but I'll always love him as Lord Eustace of Narnia.
I love them all, for their strengths and their weakness. For Aslan himself love them no matter far they may fall and I love in the same way. For I call myself a true Narnia fan and how can any Narnia fan hate or even dislike a Pevensie.
