Unthinkable Wings

I think part of the problem with Peter (and Susan, actually) is that their book characters have gone very out of fashion (thank god). There's "responsible and thoroughly Good Egg elder brother, with slight tendency to look down on his younger sibs" and "eldest sister who unhesitatingly steps into role as mother for rest of children when real mother disappears". Both are not only slightly dull (though something could have been made of Susan's need to be in control - I suspect this stems from her feeling responsible for the others', particularly the younger two, welfare) but pretty annoying. I don't annoying children are allowed to be the protagonists anymore (unless they're annoying but spunky and feisty and Fighting The System or something).

I always did rather like Edmund. And I've always had a soft spot for Eustace (though BBCfilm!Eustace looks nothing like him). My absolute favourite has always been Jill, though, so I'll be interested to see how they deal with her when/if they make Silver Chair.
