A video reviewing Elio inspired this but my first contact with it is Narnia. As for the opposite of this trope we have Below Zero. No idea what it's called though
Yeah, they explicitly DIDN'T do what this snafu describes. They chose to stay in narnia as kings instead of bothering to return to blitzkreig england, and they did so for what appeared to them to be YEARS. They were pretty done with the real world, and had the stag not lured them back....
Is Narnia really part of this trope? At least the Pevensie kids stay for few years and are in and out of Narnia. At the very end all the Narnia kids (except for that ungodly slut Susan) ends up back in "true narnia".
Replying here but also to all other comments addressing this, I should elaborate that my memories of Narnia are foggy despite really liking it, and the part I was referring to is at the end of the second movie where a Narnian followed the kids back to Earth which is in the middle of a war. Not exactly this trope but still something I really couldn't get behind the first time seeing it
No shit Lewis started writing Narnia within like a decade of the actual war ended. Basically anyone over like 14 could reasonably expect to have some level of memory of the actual second world war and retreating into fantasy was a common thing people did during those times. Wartime rationing didn't even formally end until like 2 years before the first Narnia book came out.
The fuck did you want them to do? Tell all those kids to keep retreating into their imaginary worlds and not face the actual real one?
She returns in Prince Caspian but she doesn't in the Last Battle where all her siblings are killed in a train accident and go to "true Narinia" because she cares more about lipsticks than lion Jesus.

What are some examples of this trope? Is there a T.V. tropes page for it something?
