I’ve watched this episode so many times since it came out and I still love it but I just realized, if Maui is Moana’s father and Moana is 16, but Maui was still serving his 1000 year exile, how did he leave the island to get it on with Sena(Moana’s mother)

Sena may have traveled to Maui's island and had a relationship with him, but couldn't get him out of exile because she wasn't the "chosen one", therefore leaving and meeting the chief on Moana's island. To explain the pig, he would be Moana's older brother and left with Sena during her departure.

[@rosestar1324]

I was just about to comment this. I doubt the mom would have left because I think in the movie, they say they all have remained on the island for a long time and it was made a rule before Moana was born that people couldn't leave. So the mom being able to sneak away for the time it would take to fall in love with Maui and get pregnant and make it back to her home island would be too long of a disappearance and the islanders would winder where she went for all that time.

[@sourcream990]

I think this theory could work!! The evidence that Matt shared here is great, and I have noticed that both Maui and Moana share a few genetic traits as well. BUT -- I've recently rewatched the movie and I started thinking about this thepry as I was watching, up until the scene where it showed the stones on the mountain of Motunui, which represents all of the people who took on the role of cheif after Maui caused the oceans to become too ruthless to voyage- in multiple scenes you can see the several generations (I counted over 10 for sure) that were there after Maui took the heart- so either Moana, Pua and their mother are a thousand years old and don't look the part (which seems unlikely since nobody else acknowledges it) or Maui would have had to be on the Motunui Island and NOT stranded on his own island after he took the heart in order for this theory to make sense. The theory of Maui and Moana being related is literally one of my faves, but I think I accidentally debunked it just bc I rewatched Moana as a comfort film lmfao, anyone got any other ideas of how they could be related?

[@sourcream990]

I also wanna add that it also makes sense for Moana and Maui to be related bc in the film you actively see her having a much closer, father/daughter-like relationship with Maui more than she does with Tui, her supposed father! It would make sense for Tui to be loving, yet distant with Moana in many ways throughout the film.

[@Anonymous-xe1lg]

NarutardAndProud It's wrong, Pu'a in Samoan means pig, so when they named the pig pua it was most likely a play on words.

I love this theory! I am so happy I got to be of this culture when I was a kid. Thank you always, Grandma

[@tjjordan4207]

Here's the problem with this theory (as much as I do like it). Maui has been stuck on an island for 1,000 years. So, when did Moana's mother meet up with him? It doesn't add up. The only other theories to explain Moana as a demi-god is that her mother wasn't impregnated by Maui, but by someone else. Second theory is that Moana's family line travels all the way back to a descendant who had a 'relationship' with Maui or some other god.

[@juandavidloreto8949]

TJ Jordan It works because she is a godly maiden, meaning that she has been alive for quite some time.

[@OD_987]

so then they fucked 1000+ years prior but decided to get pregnant after?

[@quacknaround]

OV3RDR1V3x987 I mean its not that crazy if it folklore? I mean just in greek mythology think about all the weird baby stuff that goes on?

[@AlphaOcelot]

Yeah in Greeky Mythology crazy stuff happens. Like Zeus for example sticks a baby in his thigh to keep it growing.

[@notchguy77]

Or that Moana's mother once traveled to the island

[@arthurhardland9947]

I think another fact that points to Moana being a god (not DEMIgod) is when Tamatoa says in his song: "But you can't expect a demigod to beat a decapod" And, in the movie, it's actually Moana who "defeats" Tamatoa by tricking him and then running away. I hope you see this MatPat.

[@British_Rogue]

... 'You can't expect a demigod to beat a decapod'; so a human beats the decapod, not the demigod.

[@isaacdiakiteba1009]

Arthur Hardland That line was just a pun Demi means half or 0.5 a human is nothing to the supernatural so the human part doesn't matter and deca means 10 0.5 cannot beat 10 for the most part.

[@kuanchan1696]

[@amplifiedemotions994]

First time around I was too focused on what was going on, the amazing visuals and such... but second time I've picked up on that "no mortal can enter Lalotai" myself! The fact that Moana had already, unknowingly, become a Goddess by that point - but more likely since the moment the ocean chose her - is literally the only sensible explanation for her surviving that fall, the impact with the water, and what happened afterward!
