You're not wrong ๐Ÿ˜… But as far as I'm concerned there's no expiration date on literature. Somewhere, someone is reading the books for the first time. The odds of them also being on Lemmy are astronomically small. But it was enough of an "oh shit" moment IMO that it was worth the half-second it took to hit the spoiler button.

Tap for ramblings of an old man about old children's booksIt was also the moment that jolted me out of whatever enjoyment I had been getting out of The Last Battle. Whenever I would do a re-read, things really slowed down for Silver Chair and Horse And His Boy, picked back up wonderfully for Magician's Nephew, then Last Battle would ham-fist its way through to the end, with Furry Jesus reveling with his most devout disciples. Just eye-rolling stuff.

The Wardrobe movie from a while back was a surprisingly good adaptation, and as the series went on (and then stalled out after Dawn Treader) I was worried about the actors literally aging out of being able to play the roles. Thinking back, it was probably for the best that it ended there.

I exist and I appreciate the spoiler tag :)

...huh. I wonder if this means I should play the lottery, or if my cosmic coincidence currency has already been consumed lol.

I more meant I have not read them and I may want to read them in the future... Please stay away from the lottery no matter what.
