*** While Coriakin himself turns out to be a [[CoolOldGuy Cool Old Guy]], Lucy's walk up to the magician's study can get pretty unnerving--walking up a flight of stairs and down a hallway in complete silence, with strange carvings and paintings on the walls, doors that won't shut, and a minor [[JumpScare Jump Scare]] in the form of the bearded mirror.

This isn\'t YMMV. Moving.


* IncestSubtext: An [[AccidentalInnuendo accidental one]], the scene at the beginning of the movie where Lucy does a gesture that is meant for flirting right in front of Edmund. For the people who haven't read the books and didn't know Lucy's actual intentions, that scene accidentally implied that Lucy actually intended to flirt with him, until the explanation was given later.
** It should be noted however that while she did do it in front of him, she was certainly not doing it AT him. She actually looked startled and embarrassed when he asked her what she was doing.
** There is also Edmund's brief FaceHeelTurn and temporary evil phase in which he hungrily stares at her and tries to lure her [[WeCanRuleTogether into becoming rich and powerful along with him]]. Since his brain ''[[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil actually was on evil]]'', some fans pointed out [[BrotherSisterIncest that it looked like he wanted more than that from her]], especially since Edmund clearly showed that she was ''the only person'' he wanted beside him when he planned to obtain power. The line ''Lucy...no one could tell us what to do...or who to live with...'', followed by her widening her eyes in fear, supported it too.

*** Considering the movie didn't shy away from incestual subtext (see below), [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar could be both]].

I doubt it was clear subtext, this is just a YMMV category based on opinions.

** The mileage in this one varies a lot. Frankly, to some people they just became like brothers and the touching one-hug at the end just accentuates their brotherly connection. After all, Caspian does tell them they are like his ''family'' to him.

moving a couple of YMMV items from Main


* FridgeBrilliance: Caspian's ship is named "Dawn Treader". And the crew's journey is to ultimately find the Utter East that both their king and Reepicheep long to see... thus, when they finally arrive at the Utter East, the "Treader" quite literally treads the very Dawn of a new day.

** As far as we know, the golden statues aren't sentient. Probably they just stay dormant unless Aslan breathes on them, like the Witch's statues.
** Plus the [[SuperFunHappyThingOfDoom Island Where Dreams Come True]]. Not daydreams. ''[[OhCrap Dreams]]''. As in ''[[NightmareSequence nightmares]]''.

The dark island manifests Edmund's greatest fear; a large phallic monster. Combine that with his jealously towards Caspian and well...
