Nah, they're based as fuck. Royalty willingly abdicating the throne to become one of the people should be applauded, not criticized. Though they could have established a new government of the people before doing so...

Ours mysteriously became shorter. It was a full on epidemic of that shit for a time too...

I preferred Lev Grossman's version. In his Magicians books and their TV adaptation, the equivalent to Narnia is called Fillory and was created by two gods for their amusement. The rulers are required by divine mandate to be children of earth, specifically because one of said gods is on the southern edge of chaotic neutral and the idea of requiring all rulership to be invaders from a foreign world amuses him greatly.

In the TV adaptation, there's a whole thing where said children of earth arrange for an election to make things more legitimate and one of them wins by accidentally running on a pro-bestiality platform (stemming from a single comment at a bar) and then learning the talking animals outnumber the humans by a huge margin.

I'm also confused about this post's hate of trains.

Well there are the indoor toilets and plumbing, easier access to food, lights at thr flick of a finger switch. Malls, internet, cellphones, and other post-medieval conveniences

A society either needs taxes or serfs in order to function. One of those systems is compatible with equality.

Tell that to Marx. True equality only happens when you move beyond both.

Its been a long while since I've read the books or seen the movies, but weren't they escaping WW2?

Seems kinda... worse than taxes and the subway. "Ah yes, lets give up on this magical world to return to ours to get *checks notes* bombed. Perfect."

It only lasted 8 months and had 40k deaths for the whole country, but that's why they were sent out to the countryside.
