The Last Battle *Spoiler*

[Pevensie89]

Can I ask something....but I dont wanna ruin the end for anyone....??

Does any of the Pevensie's die?!

[Charn_Tim]

All of them die except for Susan...have you read the story yet?

[Mrs.Tumnus7]

I cried terribly at the end!!! :( Even though it was a happy ending in a way.

[darkestlight88]

In which book do they die in? I'm on Prince Caspian right now but I'm almost finished. I don't mind spoilers. They're more initiative for me to read more. :D

[Mrs.Tumnus7]

The last battle, you like don't find out untill the very last page! But, the ending is just so beautiful though!!! I don't think I would have been so happy reading the other books while knowing that my favorite characters were going to die in the end! I was so shocked, that it actualy scared me. I was like woah!!! That was random!!

[Mrs.Tumnus7]

And the funny thing is, when I think back on a certain Narnia book I've read, I can't remeber actualy sitting there and reading it. All I can remember is pictures in my mind, or like I watched it as a movie, with all the speacial effects and everything!lol. I was so into those books, I would read anywhere from 8am to 9pm. only stopping to eat and go to the bathroom. That was it! lol

[darkestlight88]

They're planning on making that a movie, right? SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO WATCH MY SKANDY DIE?!?!?! :eek: :eek: *cries* But at least he won't actually be dead. YAY! Well, yeah, like I said, more initiative for me to keep reading. I wanna find out how they die and THAT'S something I don't want to be spoiled. :p

[Mrs.Tumnus7]

Oh btw I love your SOAD lyrics on there! :)

[Mrs.Tumnus7]

Yeah, the same with me! I don't want to see Edmund a= or Peter die! I'll be crying for centuries!!!!!!! Yes, I think they're making a movie.

[narniawarrior]

I thought that was a joke :eek: :eek: !!!!!.Do they die in a train crash :eek:

[~EdmundsQueen~]

Hey its a mcfly fan! lol welcome!

ive just finished The Last Battle literally 10 mins ago! I found it really hard. Basically (beware spoiler coming up) the Narnia in all the stories isnt really Narnia. Its like a copy of the real Narnia. And when people die in the fake Narnia, they go to the real Narnia. And its the same for all the worlds. So the England we're in is actually a copy of the real England and when we die we go to the real one. So when the fake Narnia "dies" everyone gets taken to the real Narnia and all the people or creatures from the other Narnia books who have died, are there. Tumnus, Mr and Mrs Beaver, Prince Cor and Corin, King ? (i cant remember what the first King was called) and Queen Helen etc etc And also from the real Narnia, you can see the real England and they join, so because Lucy, Professor Kirke, Lady Polly, Edmund and Peter died in the train crash, they are also there, but they got pulled away by magic to Narnia right before the train crash so they dont know about the copy of the worlds. So right at the end they Edmund, Peter and Lucy see they're parents on the real England coz they were in the train when it crashed. So now all the humans are dead on the Copy of England so they stay in the real Narnia and the real England etc etc But Susan is still in the fake England coz she wasnt on the train so you never know if she gets back to Narnia with the tohers or if she stays in England till she dies.

[Pevensie89]

OMG!! I Can't believe they all die?! OMG! :eek: *Cries*

NOOO EDMUND!!!!!!!! DONT DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, did you say Tumnus and the Beavers die too?!

[Mrs.Tumnus7]

The movie will be a real tear jerker!!!! :(

[Pevensie89]

Hell Yeah!! I don't want my Edmund to die!!! *cries*

[Tirian of Narnia]

If Adomson does make the last battle I will hate him forever if he screws up the battle scene by making it all big. That would kill it. And if they screw up Tirian. Well just use youre amagination.

[redsoxfreak01]

OMG!! I Can't believe they all die?! OMG! :eek: *Cries*

NOOO EDMUND!!!!!!!! DONT DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, did you say Tumnus and the Beavers die too?!

Well yeah, Tumnus and the Beavers are dead because its been thousands and thousands of Narnia years since LWW, so they died a long time ago. :p

When I first heard that Edmund died, I was so shocked. :eek::eek: But when I actually read it it was really nicely done and they were all happy in Aslan's Country. It was a rather nice ending to the series...

[MariaElizabeth<3]

But none of them may have died. Or they did and they dreamed it. Or, maybe after going to Narnia the first time, they started living a different life. And, hmmm? I dunno. Because at the end of the Final Battle, Aslan turns into someone else and says that the dream is over and they can now wake up or something like that. I always love reading the ending to that book because it gets me thinking so much. *shivers*

[SusanoftheSouthernSun]

But you know, you never really see them die. You are just told of it and they remark on the jerk the train made. If they made this movie...wow. It would be amazing with Puzzle and Tash...

[NarniaNews.Net]

It's hard to explain just read the book.

[Saruman]

But none of them may have died. Or they did and they dreamed it.

Go back and reconsider Aslan's words to the children on the very last page of the book:

Lucy said, "We're so afraid of being sent away, Aslan..."

"No fear of that," said Aslan. "Have you not guessed?"..."There was a real railway accident....Your father and mother and all of you are - as you used to call it in the Shadowlands - dead."

And I love the reference in the very end: "And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion..." To me, I look at that and always see Jesus standing before the Pevensie children, no longer in the appearance of a Lion, but appearing to them just as He is.

yes, that was so beautiful.

dying sounds really bad, but it isn't. all of them are in the best place you could ever imagine. only susan is alive, and being alive seems very bad at the end of the book.

[SusanoftheSouthernSun]

I will forever hold to the thought that Susan will go to the real Narnia when it is her time. :)

And I am kind of glad Lewis left it like that. He described just enough so that we could 'see it' but left the end a bit more open, so it does not seem final at all. In fact, it feels (and Aslan mentions it in a way), like the beginning. The closing of one chapter, and the opening of a book that has no ending, yet each page will have a new amazing adventure.

[.:~NikkitaTheJust~:.]

I was reading the posts from the beginning of the thread and I started to wonder....Do you think all of us who are obsessed (ahem, should I say big fans) of Skandar, William, Anna, and Georgie, still like them by that time? I mean some of us would, but do you know how old they will be when that movie (if ever made) comes out? I was just wondering that because Will would be like in his late 20's I'm guessing....and Skandar would be in his early 20's, I think, depending on how fast they make the movies (once again if made, but why wouldn't they continue a Chronicles?) I was just thinking that...you know we may not even like them then!(scary thought, I know)
anyways that was just my opinion!
Oh and it is sad that they die!! i read it and was like, NO WAY!! :(

Yes!! That's actsactly how I pictured it! All through the books I was always wondering when he was going to reveal his true self in appearance to the children. I think that's what made me cry the most at the end. Knowing that they all got to see who Aslan realy is! Happy Easter by the way.

yes, i completely agree!

how are they going to do the last page (new chapters of a book and stuff)
i hope they are going to use a narrator, what do all of you think?
And i hope they will not show the transformation of Aslan.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU

[Saruman]

Though fictional stories, they will always be treasured in my heart and enjoyable for years and years to come, much like LOTR (I hear Christopher Lee reads LOTR at least once every single year). Maybe I can keep the tradition of an annual read for both going. :D

Happy Easter to you too. He is risen!

[MariaElizabeth<3]

yes, i completely agree!

I think that maybe they should have a narrator read directly from the book for the last page. And I think when Aslan's talking, they should should him and then let the camera drift away and maybe show a goldenish light coming from where he was standing. Then, they should just let the camera drift over all of narnia and some animals and such before ending. Oooh. I love the end sooo much.

[Someonebeatmetowunderkind]

You never actually have to see them die.

[stronger_WM]

What age do they die at?

yes, something like that, and then you have to see the faces of everyone changing from normal happy to extreme happy (if you understand)

What age do they die at?
according to this (http://www.narniaweb.com/content.asp?id=8&cat=2) timeline they die:
Eustace: 16, CtN timeline
Jill: 16, CtN timeline
Peter: 22, CtN timeline
Edmund: 19, CtN timeline
Lucy: 17, CtN timeline
Digory: 61, CtN timeline
Polly: 60, CtN timeline

[stronger_WM]

Ok, thanks. I was just curious.

That's still young, but I had a friend that said they died when Peter was 16, and I was like....no.

[Tirian of Narnia]

Why don't you guys just read the book, it's not that long. :rolleyes:

[lieke]

Why don't you guys just read the book, it's not that long. :rolleyes:
does the book say how old they are, i thought it didn't :confused: i've read it many times:) (it's my favorite)

[SusanoftheSouthernSun]

It doesn't. You have to look it up. Basically eight years pass from LWW to TLB. At least, in the timeline I saw.

[MariaElizabeth<3]

I don't think it's 8 years. Maybe 4ish I think.
LWW to PC is a year.
PC to VDT is less than a year
VDT to SC is umm, let's go with year.
And from SC to LB is I can't remember.

So, about 4ish. Maybe 5.

[Someonebeatmetowunderkind]

i got the impression that peter was in his early 20's for some reason.

[AslansSoldier]

Yeah, they really do and we're gonna have to watch it. But don't worry. It is a both happy and sad ending. Aslan leads them to a new paradise and its great. It really is when the world ends. :p

[Tirian of Narnia]

does the book say how old they are, i thought it didn't :confused: i've read it many times:) (it's my favorite)
It's my fave to. But I don't remeber if it says. But even if it doesn't I'm pretty sure it calls peter a man. But then, it calls Lucy a girl so.... I don't know.

[QueenSusanofNarnia]

It's my fave to. But I don't remeber if it says. But even if it doesn't I'm pretty sure it calls peter a man. But then, it calls Lucy a girl so.... I don't know.


In LB, Peter is 22, Lucy is 17*, and Edmund is 18.



And Susan would be 21, Polly is 60, and Digory is 61.

*=This means that Jill and Eustace are 15 or 16

[narniafan788]

The movie will be a real tear jerker!!!! :( same as harry potter 7

[Knight Aaron of Narnia]

Well...It said in "The Last Battle" that Jill an Eustace were the only ones still in school.
That meant everone else was over the age of 17.
I estimate that Jill and Eustce were 15-16.

[Something Wicked!!~.^]

yes, that was so beautiful.

dying sounds really bad, but it isn't. all of them are in the best place you could ever imagine. only susan is alive, and being alive seems very bad at the end of the book.


Yeah, right, I tried to tell my death counselur, don't really know what his real name was so thats what I call him, anyway I tried to tell him that death wasn't something to fear and that you should think of it as more of a adventure, needless to say he thought I was suicidle,
I was only taking it as an elective for church camp, though why they had that on there i'll never know.


And on to the basics of what this thread is about, YES they really do die in the last battle, that's why its called the last battle.

[inkspot]

I think it's called The Last Battle because of the Stable Battle at the end of the book, which is the beginning of the end of Narnia, after that, the old Narnia is gone. It's not called TLB because of the kids' dying ...

And iMove Thread to correct Forum.
:)

[Lady Beth]

Yeah,on the way to see peter who has the rings,the train crashes into the plattform.
