Poll: The Green Lady in the Upcoming Film
Posted: Oct 16, 2014 10:37 am
There have been some suggestions that they might include additional information about the Green Lady in the film (we already know they're giving her a name) so I created a pole to gauge how Narniawebbers feel about that, and what they like to see included. None of these are mutually exclusive, except for "none," so you can check off as many as you would like. I'm going to explain options that I feel need a note of explanation:
magical association with white witch: they might have been partners in magic at some point in the past, or the Green Lady might have been the White Witch's apprentice. Something of that nature.
connection to snakes: Maybe she likes snakes and taught herself to turn into one magically, animagus-style. Maybe she was originally a snake and taught herself to assume human form. Any explanation of how she became a shape-shifter, or any association with snakes that isn't in the book falls in this category. If you just want them to show her turning into a snake, that doesn't fall into this category, because its not added back story, it's included in the book.
None: this means that she would have no back story other than what is stated in the book.
N.B.: This is not intended to be a debate about what the Green Lady's "true." origins are. That topic has, and rightly deserves, its own thread. This is about the appropriate scope of the film's narrative. Of course, if you have some hypothetical mini-stories they might include , that would be on-topic.
