oh my god, will the crack Narnia crossovers never end.

So, I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Lara Croft vids, and then for some reason I was thinking about Susan, and one can clearly not cross Narnia over with Lara Croft because there's, like, a fifty-sixty year gap. And then I thought, oh, The Mummy (second favorite movie of all time), but that doesn't work, that's set in the thirties. (This could, of course, change after The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor comes out. I'm easy.) And then I thought, oh, Indiana Jones -- no, wait, that's the thirties too. EXCEPT.

Dude. Mutt/Susan. I can't figure out if it's a brilliant idea, or a horrible one. Except, come on, it could be kick-ass Susan. She'd be, what, mid-late twenties? And an English professor in America, maybe at Indy's university or the school Mutt ends up going to. Sudden attack! The commies want some top secret artifact! Susan's class is in the way! Susan may not have a bow, and she may not be entirely certain how to use a gun, but she's Queen Susan of Narnia, dudes, and she can kick ass.

And then someone asks, wide-eyed, "But Professor Pevensie...where did you learn that?" "That's a long story."

Brilliant or horrible?

Holy fucking awesome, Batman. Mostly regarding crossing over with Locke because WHEEEE! but also crazy drunk Peter almost decapitating Caspian. AWESOMECAKES WITH AWESOMESAUCE.

I actually sort of like the idea of evil types trying to get at Narnia. They can have the wardrobe. "How did you get that?!" If the Indy franchise can arse about with Christian mysticality and fucking psychic aliens, I don't see why the multiverse can't get involved.

...now I want to cross it over with Planetary somehow. Jakita and Susan talking smack and getting drunk! But that's totally not workable, time-wise.

Let me just tell you, Caspian was Not Amused. (Of course, this is after Peter already killed four people, so I suppose Caspian got off lucky.)

And THEN we can bring in Chrestomanci! ...I mean. Um. At this point, I suppose the debate would be to write it off movieverse canon or bookverse -- which is to say, Who's Left Alive?

I have never heard of that. What is it?

Planetary is a comic book series by Warren Ellis. I am not a comicbook sort of girl, but I adore it excessively. It's sort of a dark alterni-reality of traditional comicbook culture. The Planetary organisation are "archaeologists of the unknown". They investigate weird shit, frequently weird shit otherwise only confined to fiction. Jakita Wagner is one of the team, super-strong, -fast, -tough and -kickass, and omg I didn't remember until right now that she was born in the '30s. *wide-eyed all of a sudden...*
