@Hermit: .................!!!
The arrow isn't even at the right angle for the Narnians to have shot Miraz...
@hermit: LOL
Can I just address the battle music? It annoyed me that so much of it was recycled. But in the past couple months, I've analyzed it and I can deal with it better now.
The beginning has a very Telmarine flavour, as the Telmarines dominate the action. This then switches to music from "Prince Caspian Flees", but more victorious, as he's leading a charge, rather than fleeing. The Old Narnia theme doesn't appear until the archers loose their arrows. Caspian's theme returns as his troop emerges from the ground, then meshes with Old Narnian tones as Peter and Edmund lead their half of the army in conjunction with Caspian's. The music goes full Old Narnian with the recycling of "The Battle" from LWW once the doorway to Aslan's How is broken and the Narnians are forced into making their last stand. (The triumphant trumpet blast still bothers me though, because the moment of its timing in this film doesn't warrant it.) Then recycled music continues with the music that plays when Aslan's reinforcements run in; here, it's Aslan himself running in the grand fray that is the single Telmarine chasing Lucy.
Ha! And they've done a better job with those scripts by far! They finally figured out what a hero really is.
Yeah the reused music is better timed for throwback moments than the LOTR music in the hobbit films.
While it is possible for (blunt) arrows to bounce and skid along the ground for a short distance, anyone who actually took the time to look before charging into battle would find Sopespian's claim of Narnian treachery unlikely.
Trufflehunter without armour and weapons!
Just the way a badger wants to fight.
@Ariel: Fascinating overview of the soundtrack! Thank you.
Edmund carrying that crossbow along uselessly after firing it once because crossbows are kind of...not good weapons for use while on horseback.
Reepicheep killing his own character designer.
Trumpkin's hero moment when he rescues Susan!

My youngest brother just compared Lucy's story arc during the battle to Frodo and Sam's story arc in LOTR because you keep forgetting it's there and it moves the slowest even though it's really the most important.
Wait, that was his character designer?!
@hobbit: Thanks! This is how I spend my drives home, lol.
They were definitely trying to make it like Frodo.
To apply a quote from Dreamworks' The Croods to Sopespian, "He saw something new... and died." 😆
I do like the river god being woken up even if they do make it like that scene in LOTR
@Ariel: Pretty sure...it talked about it in the DVD commentary.
"We can never know what would have happened, Lucy.". No, that's not the line. Try again. From the top, here we go, aaaand...action!
As far as the bit where Glozelle was about to attack Caspian with that pike and stopped just a coup!e of yards away, Alex just commented, "If Glozelle knew it was Caspian, why did he charge at the guy he was perfectly willing to have as king? And if he didn't know it was Caspian, why did he charge at somebody in Telmarine armor??"
Lucy's smile as she draws her dagger.
Sopespian's jerk-ness for being about to attack a tiny little girl. Somebody give that man a slap in the face.
