New forum. I like it.
That's how she was portrayed in the novels, this 8 foot tall super model with freakishly pale skin whose extremely touchy feely and sensual with young boys.
Like Lewis was not even remotely ambiguous about her being a complete pedo.
She's also so old when she started the war that caused her to lifewipe her reality her sun was yellow but when it ended it was red.
So yeah she's this creepy half space alien..D'jin pedo witch thing that really, really wanted to have sex with a four armed vulture and a Jesus Lion
It will most certainly be the last
Did you disable our ability to upload files just curious, because it disappeared for me and I wasn't sure if that was by design or a glitch.
Destroyer of worlds, eater of traitors, corruptor of children.
I think the film did well with the uncomfortable tension and subtext of an older witch giving the young boy some “sweets” and such. She was definitely off…
although honestly, she would have been cooler if she were potrayed as raven haired and 8 foot tall.
Yeah the actress did a great job honestly, my complaints aside.
Sandra Bullock, Kate Beckinsale and Marion Raven all lobbied for the character...All got passed over because they thought Tilda being famous for her androgyny would be more offputting and creepy when the whole point of the character is that her beauty was the warning sign.
Also Beckinsale was too expensive and Raven was too young which again is an odd call because Jadis is described as so youthful yet ancient and cold looking that you couldn't tell if she was a teenaged girl pretending to be older and wiser, or a young woman pretending to be a crone or all of the above.
Been awhile since I touched the books but I think her first appearance was her seated on a throne, on a dead planet, imperiously gazing down upon a wasteland of her own making...an eerie work of art.

I remember the movie was made after Underworld took off and Kate Beckinsale was the hot New thing
My only complaint with tilda is that despite the fact that Jodis is supposed to be a literal Ice Queen, she never really felt like it in the movies apart from a few scenes.
Yep, this was after Serendipity and Underworld made her a household name.
Bullock as Jadis would have been..interesting..She's legitimately beautiful and the fact that she hasn't really aged all that much in almost four decades makes her creepy as fuck. But that would also have been a roll, waaayy outside her normal routine.
Yeah she focused on the character's ability to randomly turn into a Joe Pesci expy without the moments where she was intensely cold and remote.

I remember getting to hear one of their books read by one of my former teachers
I think it was the first book
I feel like you honestly couldn’t have gone wrong with her casting, once you get the gist of it. The words “Ice Queen” already rule out any baby-faced girl that you could mistake for more of a “princess”. You already understand this has to be a WOMAN.
Kind of like how people generally understand that James Bond can’t be played by anyone that looks like Tom Holland or the MC from Kingsmen.
Who Bullock? You're right, even at her youngest she was never really "girl next door" and more all woman who might have happened to be fun or carefree but there was no mistaking her.
Shame too because she actually does have the range to pull off the kind of menace you needed for Jadis.
And yeah, Bond needs to be an older, grizzled guy.
The Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe was good stuff.
Too bad so many Narnia Fans turned into HPtards and later the HST loving clowns we had to deal with.
I meant more in the sense of who Jadis is as a character is actually difficult to fuck up in casting.
But yeah I agree that Bullock would have been a good choice
