Film Theory: Encanto, The Madrigal Family SECRET!

[@wylanvallotton4462]

A lot of people probably think you're exaggerating when you say you've seen the movie 50+ times with your kid, but as a parent I want to assure y'all that it's not an exaggeration. When a kid gets hooked they may watch a movie 2-5 times a day. Two weeks in and you've had it in the background 59+ times.

The main problem with the theory is that it’s been confirmed that people have come in from outside the village. Also, there were plenty of people living there even initially that inbreeding wouldn’t happen in just 50 years, which really isn’t that long when it comes to this topic.

Regarding the road and the bridge, my interpretation is that Luisa is re-arranging the town for the wedding. That's why she's moving the church to a more central location, that's why she's diverting the river and moving the bridge because she diverted the river and now it flows on a new path, thus needed her to move the existing bridge to a new location.

That makes an absurd amount of sense but also WHY GO THROUGH ALL THAT EFFORT? These people are waaaaaay too reliant on Luisa's strength. Leave the church and the river where they are, and if it is difficult to access for some people, maybe have Luisa carry them instead of having her move entire buildings???

[@goldenlotus3046]

@@LunaWitcherArt Because she's strong and able to do it. Her story was about how she holds so much pressure and is responsible for doing such things. They probably don't think about how overly complicated the solution is. They probably just know she could do it easily and is happy to do whatever she can for the village.

[@coldgold2683]

I love this theory and hate that I can't believe it :(. But my reasoning that it can't be true is that even though everybody *knows* that Isabela and Mariano are set to be married, Mariano hasn't actually asked Isabela at that point. It would be super presumptuous to prepare for a wedding before the proposal has happened and was accepted and it's not like Luisa was subtle about what she was doing. I don't think Alma would have allowed it because it would have made the family lose face because of the presumptuousness.

One thing I heard is that Encanto’s plot, at least one of the early drafts, was originally going to be a “journey” set plot were the main cast would leave Encanto and into the modern world.

[@tinytaleah]

A SHOW IS COMFIRMED??

[@syberyah]

1:40 Casita fixed itself. Casita's "health" is determined by the general mental/emotional state of Abuela/Mirabel, so, I don't really know exactly what counts as "bad enough mental health for Casita to be cracking" vs "good enough mental health for Casita to be cracking," but I think maybe just the fact that Mirabel was, at that point, distracted by the cracks rather than focusing on her internal depression (or whatever you want to call it) may have been sufficient for the cracks to go away. But hey, that's just a theory. A film theory!

[@ShokuaK]

Ironic: Mirabel panicking about the cracks made them disappear. Really, even assuming Bruno managed to seal up all the cracks in walls and floors seamlessly, and clean up the cieling tiles (which is a big stretch) there's no way he could repair the staircase.

On the cracks appearing the first time: there’s a theory that Mirabel is somehow intricately linked to the magic, hence why she never got a door till the end of the movie. To support this, think about what took place shortly before the cracks appeared the first time: Mirabel feeling hopeless, shown by the line “am I too late for a miracle?” At the end of her song. This theme of Mirabel losing hope being tied to the cracks is shown again when Abuella starts verbally attacking Mirabel later and even during the initial dinner scene too, as Mirabel seems to be struggling to hold on to having hope but once Abuella, who always assumes Mirabel is useless or in the way due to her not having a gift, sees the prophecy, her mind automatically went to feeling dejected and hopeless.

Well, historically, people have difficulty moving large armies over mountain ranges, so it would actually be a VERY effective defense method. Besides, we see that the enemy soldiers are riding horses and using primitive guns, so they probably believe in witchcraft. The sight of a bunch of mountains popping out of thin air after a cloaked woman places a candle on the ground would probably be enough to ward them away. The tiny amount of people moving in in are probably very adventurous people that aren't afraid of witchcraft.

One big flaw in this theory: despite starting with so few people they started with large amounts of diversity. Naturally, there would of been a mix of Native and Spanish genetics, and then there was also African genetic citizens as well. This makes it so there are large amounts of dominant genes to start that would combat any defective recessive. This also might be the reason for the ununiform studies for what a stable gene pool would need to be to start. Start with a bunch of similar people the you'll need to start with more, but if you have a heavily diverse pop you can start with less. And the Encanto starts with a fairly diverse population. So, you might need to get Austin back on the program to get more variables in there to included the amount of diversity that 3 genetic regions could have. Also, this would actually be a break through in considering a unifying formula to genetic diversity of small populations. So, definitely a worth while goal if nothing else. And maybe a revisit to other movies with small and/or devastated populations like Raya, Dragon's, and even Brave (considering the lack of diversity of those small populations)... Oh god, Hiccup is inbred...

another example of inbreeding in isolated communities is Martha’s vineyard. the original settlers were from a small village in england that kept inbreeding. this resulted in a recessive gene for deafness being extremely common to the point where around the 1800s 1/155 people on the vineyard were deaf and in isolated pockets as many as 25%. it’s actually an interesting case study for the social model of disability because deaf people on the island weren’t considered disabled because everyone knew sign language.

This reminds me, I've been re-thinking your "Dolores being evil" thing from a while ago and I think there's 1 thing that throws a wrench in it. Dolores' little squeaks. In a supercut video of her doing those cute little squeaks someone in the comment section said that that is something some Colombian people do when at a state of unease. Knowing that, think about each time Dolores squeaked. 1st time was telling those kids that Mirabel doesn't have a gift which is a touchy subject, 2nd time is her telling Mirabel about Luisas' twitchy eye which involves the magic fading out, an even more touchy subject. Times 3 and 4 both happen when she over hears that Mirabel found Brunos' lost vision, what it's about and her and Agustin saying to keep it on the down low. On the one hand she can't say anything about Bruno because of her mom Pepa holding a salty grudge on the guy for causing her wedding to become a mess. On the other hand Dolores is Almas' little stool pigeon and has to tell her everything of major importance. Then there's the long drawn out squeal she dose during the dinner with her being all "I must say something" and Mirabel staring at her all "Don't you bloody dare". Basically Dolores might've been under the heel of keeping up appearances like everyone else.

This actually works really well with my analysis that the breaking point for the house WAS the marriage, because Isa didn't love Mariano and Casita would not stand for the next generation of Madrigals to be raised in a loveless marriage. It had to be arranged carefully to hold off inbreeding, but it wouldn't be an emotionally healthy environment for children; so Casita just hit reboot on the whole thing to prevent generational disaster.

[@adammartinez8061]

And don’t forget Mirabel was alone and away from the party when the cracks first started. Another breaking point could be Mirabel Being left out.

[@Deverosfear]

The cracks were real they were an extension of meribel feeling like she wasn’t a part of the family for the first time and her “power” as the “patron” effected the house when she tells everyone what has happened she forgets those feeling and the damage is restored. Patron in the concept of warlocks as she is the next replacement for the candle so too is she tied to the magic of the house.

I want to know how you defined “inbreeding” in this scenario. Are you considering it as any relation such as fourth or fifth cousins which probably have little impact on genetic diversity. Third cousins? Second? First? What are the parameters here?

[@bboops23]

It has little impact at first however long term it could and likely would cause issues. In the game Crusader Kings 2 there's a genetic trait for inbred and one generation of marrying a cousin may not cause an issue. But several generations can. My husband and I had a run where after 12 generations we had an inbred child show up despite never allowing closer than 3rd or 4th cousins to marry. But our run involved his character being the leige and my character being a powerful vassal. So we regularly arranged marriages. Twelve generations while marrying other people and a 3rd/4th cousin every other generation but also other people are marrying 3rd/4th cousins adds up. Usually the rule I've heard is distant relatives are fine once in a while, but regularly it can still create long-term issues and that is in fact how it worked for most royalty that was inbred

[@liamnehren1054]

also there is the fact that minor inbreeding like 1 here 1 there has little effect in the long run. if they cranked their numbers as high as possible they could probably split into various villages and mildly inbreed and have a few members switch places every few years and while causing a little damage at first reach a population where they can slowly heal it.

[@bboops23]

@@liamnehren1054 that's usually what larger models do. Typically a starting number of 50 is good to prevent inbreeding for 3-4 generations until more people are brought in. But with only 50ish to start, while they may not see any issues even in 6 generations, if that starting population stayed exactly the same and the Encanto never broke open, it could potentially result in a population with a severe case of "Founders Disease," the catch-all name for a trait that is super common due to a small initial breeding pool and everyone being essentially related. With enough time the population usually diversifies with genetic mutation. But the problem with most models is how much time is needed? We don't actually know. What if Augustin's allergy is passed down to a large swath of the population. Maybe it won't happen immediately but it could happen in a few generations and suddenly half the Encanto is deathly allergic to bee stings.

[@riripari2042]

Maybe in the next movie that'll change. The magic was destroyed for a short time so maybe there's now an opening for people on the outside to move in or for the townspeople to finally travel and see the rest of the world after such a long time. There's gotta be some people who want to see what's out there but probably plenty of elders like Alma who are still traumatized by the events of the past who'd want everyone to stay in the town where its safe.

Mattpat, thank you for your dedication in counting multiple fictional people to the best of your ability and the countless times you have watched this film to bring us entertainment.

i have an Enconto theory, what if Mirabell and Alma got a gift but we had just ignored it. In the movie after Antonio had gotten his gift Mirabell had STOPED TIME(or at least slowed it down) and at the end of the movie Alma had TELEPORTED Mirabell INTO A FLASH BACK. And everyone had skipped over those details probably thinking "oh ok, well thats normal"

*”If i had a nickel for every video MatPat’s made on the uncomfortable concept of inbreeding, i’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice…”*
