Now that it&#8217;s right on our doorstep, it seems there is fan unrest with the romance seen in previews between Susan Penvensie and Prince Caspian himself.</p>
<p>Apparently there is a scene of the two kissing, which is abbhorent to fans of the books because that never happened anywhere in C.S. Lewis&#8217; original stories.</p>
<p>The MTV Movie Blog <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1587499/story.jhtml">asked fans for questions</a> they&#8217;d like answered from the cast and crew and this one big one cropped up enough that they actually took it to the <em>Prince Caspian</em> people.</p>
<p>Why are they doing it? Is it important enough to have to ruin the canon?</p>
<p>There are <strong>SPOILERS </strong>below this sentence, mainly having to do with the future of Susan. If you have read the books, you probably know it, and if you haven&#8217;t, you may not want to.</p>
<p>Part of the big controversy, which I entirely forgot about, is that Susan never returns to Narnia after <em>Prince Caspian</em>. In the final book, <em>The Last Battle</em>, she is said to care about nothing but nylons, lipstick and being grown-up.</p>
<p>So tossing in this romance&#8230;how does it affect things? Are they going to change the future of Susan?</p>
<p>Personally, having gone through the same thing with <strong><em>Lord of the Rings</em></strong>, sometimes these things just have to be done to improve the &#8220;movie&#8221; quality of a story transferred to the big screen.</p>
<p>The video below contains answers to the question from Ben Barnes, Anna Popplewell and Andrew Adamson. (if the video doesn&#8217;t load, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1587499/story.jhtml">click here</a>)</p>
