I love how instead of a tragic backstory, we find out that this lady was evil from the get go.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. Tilda Swinton was the perfect actress for her

That woman destroyed an entire universe with a single word, thought it was boring and went to the next She was literally the evil incarnate

I wouldn't mind watching a movie about Jadis, her sister, and Charn. Seems so interesting

How Jadis discovered the Deplorable Word still gives me chills: “She learned it in a secret place and paid a terrible price to learn it.”

I honestly wish they had made The Magician's Nephew into a movie before redoing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I think this backstory and creation of Narnia are so overwhelmingly important to understanding Jadis and her motives and the long history that her and Aslan shared.

Jadis in Charn really did a "If I can't have it, no one can" and MEANT IT

Sounds like the perfect marriage candidate for Sauron. Though she would probably be as loyal a wife, as Saruman was an ally.

Always thought it was funny how Jadis destroyed her universe simply by dropping the F bomb

Well done, my friend!

I've always loved how strange and eerie and mysterious Jadis' backstory and world were. A bizarre and unique part of Narnian lore. I just wish C.S. Lewis had explored other worlds that could be accessed from the Wood between the Worlds in other books. Charn itself would have been an epic, if tragic, story. But what other worlds could Lewis have dreamt up?

I’m so glad that thanks to you, there’s videos out there for Narnian history and legends like the ones made aboutThe Lord Of The Rings! C.S Lewis’s fantastic world building deserves more attention and I really hope Netflix does it Justice.

I still laugh at the fact that digory's uncle is still in love with Jadis. Even as an old man, he remembers and wants to be with her. Even though she beat him up and told him he would be her personal slave.

Who else as a kid thought the White Witch's origin story in Magician's Nephew was the dopest thing ever?

So, to summarize: the White Witch was an alien this whole time? 😨😨😨

I did reread the books halfway through now. And there’s something no one ever mentioned. Narnian magic have a very specific rule that is consistent in both movies and the books. The rule of « never twice the same way » I would almost compare it to the law of surprise from the Witcher. For example; the first time we hear about it is when Jadis creat the turkish delights. When Edmund ask for more she say’s that the magic wouldn’t work twice at the same place but that if he come to her castle she can do it again. Then it is implied again when Aslan mention the tear in space/time leading to Narnia from the wardrobe he say’s that after they leave it’ll close and that they won’t comeback to Narnia from there bc « never twice the same way » It is also implied in Dawn Treader when they meet the magician and the little mushroom ppl that turned themselves invisible. Lucy ask why the little girl who read the spell that turned them invisible can’t do it once more. And he doesn’t exactly say she can’t but that she shouldn’t and won’t.

Jadis really did the “call an ambulance, but not for me” meme to her sister

"Physically assaulting people, robbing a jewelry store, evading police, and declaring her intentions to conquer England and annihilate London." you forgot swallowing gum.

4:22 Jadis: Call an ambulance, but not for me

I am sure many people have speculated what the cost for the "Deplorable Word" was. I think these are the best options: A: She would lose the ability to have children B: She would lose the ability to love ( Or in other words, lose all good within her heart) Or the most likely C: She literally lost her Soul. (Kind of an obvious one, which might also cause option B: to occur as well but whatever) Or who knows maybe it was all three?

Man I need to read the books again.😀

Well, damn. All the times I've read The Magician's Nephew over the years and I never spotted the Garden of Eden comparison in Jadis stealing a forbidden apple from the magic garden before. How did I miss such an obvious reference?

I would LOVE to see a video on Charn and your theories of what may have gone on there! 😀

Well, I’m surprised and impressed to have seen this video! Congrats on making this Narnia channel, since as a faithful Christian, I have been looking at the lore of the book series by CS Lewis. Thank you for this informative video, and I expect more great videos in the future.

Diggory took the fruit to his sick mother. She ate the fruit and recovered. Diggory planted the seeds in the corner of his backyard. The tree grew big and strong and was cut down and the wood was made into a wardrobe. Hence the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

This Tree of Protection was the one thing that protected everyone from Jadis but none of the other books really mentioned what happened to it. If it was just blown down by the wind, that would be so anticlimactic

I get to be Jadis in my school play, and wow. I did not expect this much lore, but this is amazing!

We just introduced our kids to the books and movies. It has reawakened our love of Narnia and Lewis' world. I am so glad to have found this channel! Thank you for the hard work you are doing here👏👏

No one: Jadis when she doesn't like something in the unknown: 🏃💨

I remember that as soon as I learned to read I’ve read narnia, and even though I couldn’t understand the symbolisms and hidden themes I always felt intrigue by Jadis. Great work! 1000/10

Wow! That's the channel youtube was missing! Great job! Loved the editing. Looking forward to see what comes next!

Glad to see a Narnia Channel out there :D where ppl can come together an Learn :-) and pick up on some things may have been unaware of.

Thanks man, you manage to bring back the love of Narnia back in me which I felt when I was watching The Narnia movies

Infinity Gauntlet: I'm the most devastating weapon ever conceived of! Deplorable Word: hold my Turkish Delight

Think when Aslan was talking about people in our world learning secrets as destructive as the deplorable word, he was talking about the atrocities of WW1 and WW2 (since 'The Magician's Nephew was set in 1900), or was he talking about the atom bomb which was one of the biggest fears of the time when Lewis was writing the books?

Dude these are so good , love the enthusiasm keep up the good work 👍🏼💙

Excellent, looking forward to part 2

It's interesting how Lewis premised the Narnia lore on the idea of what we might call the 'multiverse' theory. I see this as Lewis marrying his love of both fantasy and science fiction into a single field of his creative imagination. For those who are not as familiar with Lewis' sci fi interest, prior to the publication of the Narnia Chronicles, he had published a triad of science fiction books known as "The Space Trilogy".

That moment when you realize that the white witch needed to come back in the last Battle, if only to round out the series and bring the whole story of Narnia to come full circle.

This was the first video from you that I watched and I immediately subscribed. Fantastic work! Thank you for providing a very thorough video about Jadis!

I’m afraid of what Netflix will do to this amazing series.

When Jadis is so recognizable the one other witch we have over there is believed to be Jadis somehow.

Wow, stunning video! Your channel will be the best narnian theme channel on youtube!

I'm in love with the artworks 😍😭

Thank you so much for explaining the important events of Narnia ❤

Wow! Great starter! White Witch was always one of the more mysterious characters, and this puts a lot of perspective on when I read the books ages ago XD Thanks for the video!

Thankyou. These videos are so good.

Excellent work!!!🌟 God bless you!💗

The narration is really great for a new channel, you deserve more subscribers. Keep it up!

I LOVE THIS! Keep it up!

This is amazing thanks for this!

Sweet, man! Great stuff!

I’ve read all the books several times both as a child and as an adult! I reread them after seeing “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” when it first came out in theaters!

I remember reading the chronicles of Narnia and was its own universe it wasn't like Alice in wonderland or Harry Potter it was fasinating I always thought there was something really strange about the white witch it seemed like when they killed her she kept coming back to life and now I know it's cause she ate the fruit but what is even crazier that the writers added is how some how she's a decendent of Lilith the first woman who rebeled against god, I love that she and the lion came face to face when Narnia was barely forming that's crazy because that just means she's an ancient, ancient witch. She must have had unimaginable amounts of power in her universe/ home world I would definitely watch a movie about Jadis without the whole Narnia stuff.

Just discovered your channel; I absolutely love it! The Magician's Nephew was the very first Narnia book I ever read (when I was about 9 or so I think). It still is my favourite. It's closer to science fiction than any of the others. It's also has a special place, alongside "The Horse and His Boy" as being written out of chronology by Lewis.

Very well done with this! :-)

She somewhat reminds me of Morathi, or Morathi-Khaine now. Both unloving and evil beings to the core. Selfish, powerful and cares not for their own kin. Also incredibly bad ass!

This is such a great channel it do its research and the narason is clear and makes sense. I love learning about deep lore of books I loved as a kid and as an adult. I hope this channel grows huge. Hard work pays off. Keep up the good work.

She is one of the great vilans in all "fiction". Great video!

This is amazing man.

Well done!! A wonderful job on your video.

Great work. Going to follow your channel. Reading Narnia for my 7 yr old now. Been atleast 25 years since I read it last time.

Charn is probably the most intriguing part of the whole Narnia lore.

Man, Narnia needs to be made into a movie like it was supposed to! It has such incredible potential for success!

Excellent analysis, i think the same as you about Jadis. Good job. 🤗

Great video! May the inexorable irresistible Tash preserve you.

Nice, good narration

This video will make anyone suddenly like Narnia. It is so interesting!

Jadis is the most interesting character. Especially good in the performance of Barbara Kellerman in the adaptation of the BBC. It's too bad there wasn't a movie for The Wizard's Nephew. By the way, it was interesting when Jadis, having heard Aslan's singing during the creation of Narnia, said something like that her fate overtook her (I don’t remember verbatim). But from these words it seemed as if she already knew how their confrontation would end. It's funny, even before reading the Wizard's Nephew, I had a dream that she was in our world. I asked her if we were going to take over the world or if she wanted to do something else. She said: of course take over the world. And I tried to play for time to figure out how to send her to Narnia, because I knew that if we were to take over the world together, I would have to share power with her. I didn’t want to, XD.)

We first meet Jadis, not in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but in the Magician's Nephew, which is chronologically the first of the Narnia books.

Good video guys, good video

Great job! I knew everything from the original Chronicles, but you did a deep dive to get stuff from between leaving Aslan's Garden and conquering Narnia. Looking forward to part 2. =) Got anything on the Green Witch from The Silver Chair? I'd love to know more about her.

When Jadis sought the Deplorable Word, maybe the "terrible price" she paid was the capacity to repent. Does anyone find this hypothesis logical?

Is the deplorable word perhaps an allegory for nuclear weapons?

Wow! I never knew from Jadis metal bar to lamp post thank you for detailed information impressive! now I subcribed

Do a video on the Silver Chair. It's the best book of the series.

Interesting backstory. I got alot of homework to do to catch up on all things Narnia.

So jadis: • Can gain access to magic in multiple worlds • Is stated to be " inherently evil " by Aslan • Has superhuman natural abilities If humans are referred to as " sons of Adam " and " daughters of eve " when they never existed in narnia...does Aslan plan for worlds to interact with each other? And why?

She reminds me of Jezabel, the wife who corrupted King Ahab

I don't know how I never realized that the queen from Magician's Nephew was the White Witch. Geez.

wow! Amazing

Very well done I have always been fascinated by Charn's history and Jadis' story. While we know of her from Narnia and beyond but knowing more of her and Charn was interesting. Do you think Jadis' winter was the cause of the tree of protection dying?

Another amazing video! Are you going to make videos about the different creatures inn narnia?

I think the giant blood thing is also a reference to the nefileim from the bible

awesome work!! so glad i found this channel 🔥🔥 great production value!! if you dont mind me asking what software do you use for your vids?

Did you know that the 'eternal winter' of Narnia was based off of Fimbulvinter from Norse Mythology, which is a winter that lasts three seasons (or years- it varies depending on the text and my memory is foggy at the moment) before Ragnarök.

Keep posting 😄 do a video on the Lady of the Green Kurtle

You should make a theory video on the Deplorable Word… I’ve always felt there’s a lot more to it than just a plot device. I’d be curious to see what you come up with.

The White Witch origin story is so extremely dark.

Tilda put life into the character and fear in my heart.

Great video could you make a video about the wood between worlds?

I hope someday Narnia will revive their film or series adaption so people will get more interested in its lore and watch your videos

If you have the time to respond, would you please tell me where you acquired the amazing artworks. I would love to see Illustrations of that capacity for a re-published book series of the Chronicles of Narnia.

Here because I’m auditioning for her tomorrow!

Thanos over hear trying to collect some stones to snap away just half of the population and Jadis is like, bump that let me make everyone past tense. Deplorable word.

Would u do a video about the kings and queens of Narnia. I'm rlly curious about it

Watching a being create a universe and then trying to kill him, with an iron bar no less, is an act of insanity.

Jadis: CALL AN AMBULANCE CALL AN AMBULANCE! Her Sister: "Victory!" Jadis: But not for me! * says the deplorable word *

Song of creation. The charm of making itself. (The Deplorable Word being its opposite, the unravelling).
