!Tropes
* AdaptationalBadass: The River God in ''Prince Caspian.'' Goes from a minor spirit asking Aslan to free him from the Telmarine bridge to a powerful water deity that drowns the Telmarine army and ''swallows Lord Sopespian.''
** Susan in the second movie. She was given the moniker "The Gentle" for a reason. Suddenly, she becomes a [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]] wannabe killing the enemies with arrows just by throwing them and holding off a group of soldiers alone with her bow and quiver of arrows.
** Miraz. In the book, he was a traditional evil yet cowardly monarch, whereas in the film he is cold-blooded, calculating, and seems unafraid of anything.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder / TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Miraz falls victim to treacherous Telmarine lords who don't like to be ordered around by a king]].
* CombatPragmatist: in the second round of their duel, both Peter and Miraz are not above using some dirty moves (like punching the opponent in a wounded knee).
* CombatTentacles: The walking Trees.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Especially ''Prince Caspian''. This was {{lampshaded}} in the trailer:
-->''You will find Narnia a more savage place than you remember...''
* DashingHispanic: The Telmarine culture in the second movie is [[FantasyCounterpartCulture very obviously based]] on Golden Age Spain, so Caspian qualifies as an example. Ben Barnes even based his characterization on [[Film/ThePrincessBride Inigo Montoya]]).
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Prince Caspian meeting Peter for the first time. [[YearInsideHourOutside Justified, given the time difference]]. Played for laughs by Reepicheep later on.
* FacelessGoons: Telmarine soldiers, wearing face-concealing {{Rage Helm}}s.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Telmarine culture is stylized to resemble Golden Age Spain. Much like in the book, HandWaved by explaining that Telmar was founded by Earth pirates who accidentally found their way to Narnia. Likewise, Narnia itself has "Merry Old England" vibes.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Caspian with Miraz.
* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: In ''Prince Caspian'' during the castle raid, Susan throwing an arrow at a soldier and having it sink in and kill him.
* MadeOfIron: Honourable mention goes to Asterius, the minotaur who led the FoeTossingCharge into the castle in ''Prince Caspian'', and held up the portcullis ''while getting shot several times'' as the others escaped.
* MaskPower: The Telmarines now sport {{Badass}} baroque metal masks with fearsome visages of bearded Conquistadors on them.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: If Caspian and his sailors are any indication, the whole Telmarine race apparently drops their vaguely-Spanish accents some time between ''Prince Caspian'' and ''The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader''. Perhaps he took on an English accent so the native Narnians were more comfortable with him?
* OnlyTheWorthyMayPass: From the Lone Islands on, King Caspian, the Pevensies and Eustace are subjected to various temptations that would cause them to either abandon or die in their quest.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Peter had a hard time becoming one again, after being High King. All of the Pevensies had a hard time of this.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Caspian and Susan.
* PuttingOnTheReich: WordOfGod [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080209204701/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/narnianews.php?id=36746 states]] that Telmarine aesthetic was designed to give them a fascist feel.
* TheRestShallPass: Susan to Lucy in ''Prince Caspian'', when she stays behind to hold off the pursuing soldiers so that Lucy can find Aslan in time.
* RunningGag
-->'''Reepicheep''': Choose your last words carefully, Telmarine.
-->'''Caspian''': You are a mouse.
-->'''Reepicheep''': I was hoping for something a little more original.
** Later:
-->'''Soldier''': You're a --!
-->'''Reepicheep''': Yes, I'm a mouse.
** And again:
-->'''Soldier''': You're a mouse.
-->'''Reepicheep''': You people have no imagination.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Disney's marketing of the ''Film/PrinceCaspian''. Rather than release it in December as a family film (like ''Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'' was), they decided to spend enormous amounts of money trying to sell it as a teen film and gave it a summer release, about a week apart from both ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' and ''Film/IronMan''. It should have been kept in December, because that's friendlier to this type of movie, but to be fair, May has shown it can expand just fine (see 2003 and 2007). And ''IronMan'' was hardly seen as a sure thing at the time. Basing the marketing around Ben Barnes may have been a dumb move, however.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Caspian and teenager/adult Edmund.
* {{Xenafication}}: Susan in ''Prince Caspian''. Justified in that she had been practicing her archery skills for 15 years, plus another year on Earth, just like her siblings.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Susan jokes in the ''Prince Caspian'' film that this makes her 1300 years older than Caspian.
* YouDidntAsk: Aslan summons an army of talking trees to defeat the Telmarines -- ''after'' the Narnians send Lucy to ask for his help.
* YouKilledMyFather: Miraz killed Caspian's father.
