Here's an alternate idea: what if Moana's demigod status was cause of Tui and not Maui? Remember, Tala is Tui's mother, and we just established that Tala is the goddess of the stars, so it's likely hereditary, but the twist is that Teui doesn't know it, or at least is trying to ignore it for as long as he's trying to protect Moana from the sea (see what I did there)😅

I’ve got another theory to how Moana became a semi god. When Maui is telling the story of becoming a demigod it was a story of him being rejected by humans and adopted by the gods. Moana says maybe the ocean chose to save him because he was worthy. When moana saved the turtle she was proved worthy to become the demi god to save them. Also did he know for sure he was rejected by his parents? He may have run off like moana and the ocean saved him from drowning by accident.

[@whitehawk2490]

He does have the tattoo on him that shoes his parents casting him out.

[@Robin.gal_luv]

Actually, that may be true. In Māori mythology, Māui was born premature, and his mother assumed he was dead. So, his mother cut off her hair, wrapped him in it, and cast him out to the sea.

HeiHei is one of Moanas ancestors reincarnated into an animal. I have proof, but LET ME WATCH THE THEORY FIRST GOSH DANG IT *EDIT* Wow people like my theory. VIDEO WATCHED, LET'S GO! If should have died by the end the of the movie, the chicken should have literally been reincarnated 8 times over and died after each one. HE LITERALLY ALMOST DIES AFTER EVERY OTHER SCENE FOR HUMOROUS APEAL! He tries to commit suicide at least twice, and I haven't even finished the movie. SO WHY ISNT THIS CHICKEN DEAD?!!!??! Simple: He is. Heihei is an 'amakua, or the spirit of a Hawaiian ancestor reincarnated into an animal to guide Moana through her journey. 'Amakua have been known in mythology to be many different things, from plants to animals to even rocks (remember that pile at the top of the hill? That's a theory for another day). 'Amakua often come back to provide guidance and help their living ancestors. This explains server all things, like HeiHei's ability to teleport. There is no way you can tell me that he logically got in that boat before she left! No, he appeared there to guide her on her journey. But, you, comment reader, ask: "Why does he try and kill him self then?" ANSWER: HE DOESNT HE CANT DIE HAVE YOU EVEN READ THIS?!?! Jk No, he jumps off the boat to test her. It's kinda like a pop quiz, just to make sure she's still on point from long ago when she first saved the turtle. After this, she fully develops her powers, and HeiHei doesn't try and kill himself again, even though he has perfect opportunities, like when her boat flips. Also, the 'Amakua's form makes sense. In Hawaiian culture, a chicken is symbolic of magic (don't ask me where that came from), and the pig makes sense as well, as it symbolizes stubbornness. Magic and stubbornness are two of the characteristics that carry Moana all the way to meet her goal. Is HeiHei just a dumb chicken? I DONT THINK SO. But hey, that's just a theory. A FILM THEORY. Thanks for reading.

Well all the people that ship moana and maui now must feel weird

[@bukangor2343]

there's a major hole in mat's theory, what with Maui being stranded on an island alone for a thousand years. Moana was conceived, born, and grew up to about 16(according to tv tropes) before they met, so at most the mating ritual that led to Moana existing happened 17 years before they met. there is a pretty big number difference between 17 and 1000. there is still the possibility of Maui being Moana's grandpa though, so the shippers should still feel weird.

[@bukangor2343]

Tanu A no, the chief would be her father, Tala her grandmother on her father's side, and if you want Maui to be related to Moana, he can be her grandfather on her mother's side. or possibly an uncle. the myths involving Sina apparently can't agree on whether they were married or siblings. I'm just glad they don't claim both at the same time.
