In the Narnia books, why is it that every time Narnia is in trouble, they have to rely on a bunch of children from outside their universe to save their whole world? How is it that a bunch of normal children from our universe are somehow more powerful than anyone else in an entire parallel universe?

Because it makes for nice reading for normal children, you autistic retard
>>
I haven't read those books in over 20 years, but assuming what you say is the truth: why is it so hard to believe that our universe is more powerful than the other?
>>
>>9601215
Their universe has witches, magic, giants, centaurs, faeries, wytches, and magick. Yeah, our universe has bombs and guns, but these are just random children.
>>
>>9601229
Two different universes have two different sets of rules. Just because they have witches doesn't mean shit. A witch is a witch and not by definition more powerful than an entity from another universe.
>>
>>9601215
Why would God make a universe that is just weak and stupid?
>>
>>9601284
It's not weak or stupid, that's you
>>
the proletariat is stronger

>>9601207
Why are you thinking like a comic book nerd?

I'm detecting some serious "goku vs superman what is their lower level" vibes here

But what about the autistic children? I'm sick of my people being excluded.

Their world is set in a feudal power structure. Men (and by men I refer the boys, as you can see in the first books that the girls are not of major importance nor to Aslan nor the Witch) are chosen by a higher power to rule because the common folk are seen as uncapable of ruling themselves, thus their animalization or folklorization, which can be partial or total depending on the usefulness they can provide to their masters (Aslan or the Witch).

Fuck Lewis, Tolkien did it better.
>>
>>9601207
It's an allusion to Christ leaving one "universe" (aka Heaven) and entering another one (aka Narnia).
>>
>>9601627
Did what better? They're entirely different and invite no comparison.
>>
>>9602780
>Did what better?
Medieval high fantasy. I just wanted to mention Tolkien because of their frienemyship.
>>
Could it be that Lewis is making a statement on Christianity? The belief of the children in the reality of Narnia is a parallel to Lewis' view of Christianity in England. The idea is that the religion will only be as strong as the next generation that carries it forward.

Lilith by George MacDonald is a better comparison with Narnia, particularly as Narnia was consciously infantilised rip-off of it.
