Which Edmund is better?

[fan_of_movie]

Which Edmund was better? Jonathan R. Scott, Skandar Keynes, or the
animated kind. I'm not putting a poll though. I wanna see the reasons why you like whoever better.

[ramandu's_daughter]

Skandar!!! skandar all the way. I think he rocks, because Johnathan R. Scott is hardly in the movie, and I don't like the animated movie.

[QueenSusanofNarnia]

Ya Ya, me ♥ Skandar. (go us skandarnites!)

[Skandiesgal01]

I think that Skandar Keynes and Jonathan R. Scott are equal in there performances, they are both great actors. Theres no doubt that Skandar is cuter (Jonathan wasnt bad looking then though), but performance wise I like them both equally. (I havent seen the animated one) All in all they both were wise choices for the part of Edmund (in their time)

[SlpNarniaQueen]

I have to say that the one from the BBC version looked very weasel like, like one who could be an edmund, but Skandy kinda looks the part to me...

[<Turkish Delight>]

Defently Skandar. He toatly looked the part and was an amazing actor. :)

[Rock4Life]

hmmm..i think they both did an excellent job..and looked the part..Jonathan had a very deceitful attitude/scoffed more at his siblings and stood away more from his siblings whereas Skandar could mesh with his sibs but at the same time maintain that "outsider" quality..i dunno whut i'm even saying any more..its kinda hard to describe...in short both did quality jobs for their particular version :D

[redsoxfreak01]

Ya Ya, me ? Skandar. (go us skandarnites!)

AMEN! :p Go Skandarnites!!!!! Skandar all the way!!

[anna.the.gentle]

SKANDAR!!!!!!! -- he's mine and you have nothing to do with it!!! joke..:p

[PeterC]

Dude, Skandar. He did such a good part in acting, and he is no animated cartoon.

[QueenSusanofNarnia]

AMEN! :p Go Skandarnites!!!!! Skandar all the way!!
Ya ya! And go us Annanites, and Georginites, and (dare I say!) Willianites! (And Aslanites and Trianites and Eustace Fans!)

[Sir Godfrey]

The walden media Edmund is the best.

[Jadee]

I liked Skandar the most

[Sir Godfrey]

is Skandar the BBC or Walden Media Edmund?

[Jadee]

Skandar is Walden Media Edmund.

[AlfredtheGreat]

Skandar is much better the other edmunds dont look like they could be Edmunds

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

well actually, there is only 1 edmund... not two, the question is more like

which actor did you like better? is it not?

[oneofthepevensies]

i think skandar should be the 1 and only edmund :D

[Lioness_Aslan]

Skandar. :cool:

[Sir Godfrey]

The Edmund in the books.

[the Large Voice]

Of the 2 actors, I'll rate them this way: Johnathan 55% Edmund, Skander 45% Edmund.

Skandar tended to sulk a lot, but Johnathan really seemed like the traitor type... that's my opinion.:rolleyes:

[Danny Darnia]

Definetely.....Skandar! Eventhough similar with the book character, I prefer Edmund with the dark hair rather than the blonde one

[Princess Georgie]

skandar keyenes.because he can act good in the good and bad side :)

[Savanna_2010]

Definitly Skandar.

[Copperfox]

...would actually have done a good job of portraying Peter, in my opinion. Thus, when Edmund was rid of evil influences, the BBC actor was great at being noblehearted, as Edmund was from then on. Skandar did better at being weaselly when the story called for it.

[Lucy The Lionness]

I think that it's a close call, considering Jonathon was the only one in the BBC adaptation to get his character right, imo. But Skandar was amazing as Edmund as well.

I think they were both as good as each other.

[Octesian]

Skandar definatly

[Turkish_Delight_Öykü]

Skandar is number one :)

[xChasingTheNightx]

Skandar K.! He's sooo cute!

[tottyfruitty]

i havent seen the toher actor but i thought skandar was awesome at playing edmund!

[narniakween101]

Skandar!!! skandar all the way. I think he rocks, because Johnathan R. Scott is hardly in the movie, and I don't like the animated movie.
skandar definitely! i dont really like the animated one either

[Danny Darnia]

Yeah...almost everyone love Skandar!!! :D

[Georgie-Fan]

Skandar I think...

skandar is best though

[Keyne on Skandar]

Skandar is the best actor in the world...o so cute!!! *dreamy sigh* :rolleyes: btw...love your name and signiture spiritfox_94! :D

[The First Joke]

skandar. everyone loves him and he's funny and he never threw up eating turkish delight. plus, his name is as crazy as he is. my friend and i tried to get my music teacher to name her child skandar. hehe

[~Grateful * Surrender~]

Honestly..I know that everyone is goign to want to kill me after I say this but...I think that Jonathan R. Scott did just as good a job acting his part with what they gave him as Skandar did and in a lot of ways I liked Jonathan better. I mean sure there was so much that skandar just nailed but there were elements that Jonathan had in his acting that Skandar didn't. I honestly loved both of them as Edmund and I can't wait till the VDT comes out so I can really see who is better.

I honestly think that Skandar Keynes was the best Edmund. He was brilliant in the movie!

[AlfredtheGreat]

Did anyone notice in the BBC version Edmund sounds like a girl but in Prince Caspian He sounds older

[Arakin ef Taanach]

I think that Skandar Keynes is definitely better than any other representation of Edmund. Jonathan Scott is not what I ever imagined Edmund to look like, while Skandar is pretty close.

[Danny Darnia]

Really? :eek: Like a girl,eh? It really make me really want to see the BBC version!!I only watched the Prince Caspian!!!

[Jadee]

*water pressure kills me*
Skandar is still cool :cool:

[Danny Darnia]

*water pressure kills me*
Skandar is still cool :cool:

:D NO DOUBT :D

[Danny Darnia]

Probably the BBC's Edmund looks rocks for the people in those era, like we think about Skandar in this time.Just my though.......

I agree with you. My mom saw the BBC version while I saw the newer version. She said that she liked the BBC Edmund than Skandar! I totally disagree.

Skandar all the way!

[LadyEm]

I agree. They both did a really good job at portraying different elements of Edmund's character. Jonathan did an excellent job of portraying the struggle that went on in Edmund when he was in the process of betraying his siblings. He also had some excellent sneers, and he taunted Lucy excellently.

However, Skandar was very good at just being natural as Edmund - partly because the four of them fit so well together as siblings. The downfall of Jonathan's role is that he didn't have the same connection wtih the others as Skandar did. He also did an excellent job of showing what Edmund was feeling, and the reasons why he was feeling what he did. He brought a depth to Edmund that wasn't here before - but I think that has a lot to do with the directing rather than anything else.

Both of them are very different in appearance, and Skandar looks more the right age than Jonathan did. In fact, in BBC Peter and Ed look like they're the same age. If it wasn't for the authority that Richard put into the role of Peter, you wouldn't have had any tension at all between them.

Anyways...here's a quick compare for those of you who haven't seen BBC Narnia:
The Edmund's:

Skandar:

[furcoats]

I think Skandar is better because he looked evil. But then he looked good at the end. With Jonathan he looked about the same throughout.

[xox_rachel_xox]

skandar for sure! i didnt really care for the old edmund... he wasnt as fun as skandar

[LadyEm]

skandar for sure! i didnt really care for the old edmund... he wasnt as fun as skandar

Why? He was just as mischievious, and on occasion more. What was more fun about Skandar?

[LadyofLanternWaste]

Hmmm, thats hard. I would definitely say that Skandar looked the part
more than Jonathan. Well at least to me. But then again Jonathan was
funnier. Especially when he said the line, "Find any more bathrooms in the
cupboards lately?" He was such a little worm! I think thats what Peter called him in the BBC version,(along with many other things) I don't know
I have to watch it again. Anyway I think they are both great actors but I
have to admit when I first saw Skandar as Edmund I just thought, PERFECT!
He was really great!:D

[she-elfwarrior19]

Skandar really looked the part, on acting i'd say Skandar as Edmund.

[LadyAnneOfNarnia]

I think Skandar did well for the Walden Media version and I think Jonathon (?) did well for the BBC. Skandar is definitely much hotter though.

[Skandar's Girl]

Skandar b/c well he just is man k, and he's an awesome actor and I agree with PeterC

[abbyluvswilliam]

Skandar did better!

[♣Teh Deviant♣]

Skandar is a 2.
the other guys a 0.
enough said -_-
lol
skandar gets two points
one for acting
one for physical appearance
what can i say. im a woman :rolleyes:

[NarniaFan95]

Skandie is better, of course!! I *heart* Skandar!!

[LadyAnneOfNarnia]

I totally agree with you girls. But I think that if Skandar were to be in the BBC version his talent would have been wasted since the acting wasn't as good as the Walden Media. And I definitely think that Jonathon would have done a terrible job if he were in the Walden Media compared to the other actors. So I think that they were good for the versions they were in.

lol i love how you said "girls". cos its only us hormonal teenage uber obsessed fangirls who stray into threads with the name edmund in it. [: hehe were biased much?

[Lunayleen]

Skandar of course!:p ;)

[Pollywannabe]

Skandar of course!:p ;)

*DUH* lol

[QA48]

Hmmm I smell a skandarnight Reunion... Interesting:D

[Susan91]

I think Skandar was better.

[Into the Wardrobe]

I agree with Lady Em! They were both great for the versions they were in. It's a tough call to compare the two until both Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader are released. Jonathan did an amazing job as Edmund, but he also had a great script to work off of. Jonathan showed Edmund's change of heart well. He was a little beast at the start, but really showed the change on the inside by the end of LWW. In PC and VDT he had a much more kingly manner about him...of course it helped that he'd aged some as well. He also looks closer to what the book describes him as...with the blonde hair (see LB). He did have to struggle with the ages of the other kids vs what they should have been...but under the circumstances he did a wonderful job.

Skandar on the other hand fit in with the other actors playing his siblings in an amazing way. This helped tons. He looked like he could be related to Georgie for sure. He was also great at being impish and mean. We don't get to see as much of the internal struggle Ed has. I agree that until we see Skandar's performances in PC and VDT we can't really compare well. It will be interesting to see how much Skandar has grown up and mellowed out. Doug Gresham made a comment in an interview that he was great at playing Edmund for LWW because he was like Edmund was at the beginning of LWW...but when he had to change that was when the acting would begin for him. I'm betting that the last year or so and the changes in his life have pushed him to grow up some and change a bit...so it will be interesting in seeing how it impacts his performances. Skandar did a good job as well.

They're both good. Both were suited for the version that they were in. I don't think that there is one better than the other...just different.

[Samwise Gamgee]

oh! Bother, they are both good :o It is a tie with me.

I agree...I think it would be fairly hard to make a call between the two of them

[Lyrical_15]

I liked and disliked things about both of them. I definedly think that the BBC Edmund did a very good job. But Skander did too...I just can't decide.:rolleyes:
