So to you, going on a selfish power trip with no stepback on good, bad, rules, limits and consequences is "be yourself", but trully embracing yourself and everything you are despite the expectations of your close ones is "being weird, stop being weird you weirdo". Gotcha.

[@thanatoast]

@@AcetylsaliciIique In the first movie, Elsa learns that she can become free and be herself by having the people arround her accept her. In the sequel she's pretty much actively rewarded for pushing Anna and the others away, but i guess they keep in contact so honestly what even is the point.

[@yoskkdkdk]

that's pretty much how horse girls are born

[@AcetylsaliciIique]

@@thanatoast The point is to fulfilled in who you are. The first movie solved Elsa's power problem, but none of her deepr psychological problems. She's still depressive, she's still loss. And it's true : a loving, caring support system is sadly not enough. Frozen 2 makes that abundantly clear at the beginning of the movie showing that despite all the efforts of the people around her, Elsa is just not comfortable and happy in this life. To be fair, I do not like either how the scene where Elsa pushes back Anna and Olaf fits in the movie : indeed the movie shows her as being right to do so. It fits in Anna's (learning to be stop be so overprotective) story but not really in Elsa's. I'd say the point is to show Elsa makes all the same decisions as in the first movie, but this time it's out of love and introspecting, not out of fear and rejection, so it's good. But still, Elsa's ending in Show Yourself is absolutely incredible and the best possible ending for her character. Seeing her be taken aback by just how fulfilling it is to finally see yourself completely. The pure happiness in her will always warm my heart, and I think that having this song, this *moment* in their life will help a lot of people growing up who may struggle with identity.

[@nabilahalshari7880]

Honestly I had to put the movie on pause and go to my room for a minute, lol (I just saw it last weekend). I... my mom has cancer, and since we’re a close family and she’s my best friend, it’s terrible. She’s not going to make it. It may be a few years, but it’s... basically a long goodbye. I’m also ill, have been since I was 12, and will be until I die. My life feels pretty empty. If I didn’t have my family, no one would realize if I simply disappeared. So... I was in that headspace, and then I heard Do the Next Right Thing. Oof. It was pretty rough. I don’t have a lot of power in my life and I’m pretty stuck. I just have to do the best I can, which often feels pretty pathetic and not nearly enough. I’ve not gotten to talk to my mom a lot since her diagnosis, but it felt like one of her lessons. I’ve watched her fight her illness she had even before the cancer, since I was a little girl. And I saw her fight it really hard. Because of that, I’ve always tried to do my best as a way to honor her, to be like her. I was watching this with just my Dad, because she can’t really sit up or stay awake for a movie, and I heard that song. I really wish there wasn’t a shortage of Kleenex in our area, because it took a minute to get control of myself and go back in there.

[@seastormsinger]

Eh, I'm not sure I believe her powers are "ice". I think her powers are transformation. When you're depressed and scared, all you can do is freeze shit because condensing into a safe hard cold ball is the only way she knows how to be safe. Also when your little and live in not-Norway, maybe ice is the first thing you notice transforming in a magically seeming way, so that's what you play with when you are six. Maybe she just likes it because snow is beautiful and stable fire is too hard to control, always changing. Later, as an adult, she's only just coming to realize that she can do more than freeze things after suppressing her powers for most of her life. In the first movie, she realizes she can imbue other things (her ice monsters and snow people) with life, the ultimate transforming force and the purest form of her power. Then, at the end, she realizes she can also transform things from ice to flowing, living things. She can control plants too, we see her growing flowers and restoring all the green plants that would have been killed by the several days of deep cold snow. Honestly, we are still in book one Avatar territory as far as Elsa is concerned. She clearly has power over fire, since heating and cooling things is literally fire (and also she strait up controls the fire lizard), she's just never gone there. Her snowkinesis is just wind, water and ice are a duh, and earth is covered in the plant shit she does as an after thought. All her powers are filtered through ice not because it has to be, but because Elsa believes that's how they work. Her powers are still freaking *growing*. Shes just a goddess of life/transformation. Strait up.

Some of the outtake songs on the soundtrack actually tell a much more rounded story than the one we got in my opinion, especially Anna's first song "Home" has her singing about how she loves Arendelle and her people and wants to do more for them, and Kristoff's alternate song "Get This Right" ends with Anna proposing to HIM which is so much more wholesome and endearing than what we got in the movie, where she either ignores him, yells at him or forgets he exists. I did enjoy this movie but there really is a lot of wasted potential here. I feel like whatever the original story was got rearranged and cut to the point that it's basically unrecognisable now.

[@eyesofthecervino3366]

I almost would have liked to see his concerns somewhat justified. Hear me out here -- the first movie shows Elsa's character flaw being her fear, driving her to push everyone away, but it also shows Anna's fear making her . . . well . . . pretty needy and desperate. So I think Frozen 2 was trying to portray this dynamic, with Anna constantly clinging to and smothering Elsa, but heartbreakingly enough they choose to resolve this by having Elsa just push her away again (like, why can't they just let sisters have a healthy relationship?) Meanwhile, Kristof's main quality in the first movie was the voice of reason. He's not putting on a show -- in fact, he's barely civil, and he calls Anna out for being so naive in falling for Hans' polished facade overnight. So why does he get relegated to posing dramatically with butterflies for this movie? Why doesn't he get to honestly discuss his feelings with Anna? Why doesn't Anna get to learn to have a tiny bit of faith in her sister, so the happy story we're left with isn't *free yourself from the constraints of loved ones -- they will never truly understand you?*

[@trustmeimaphysicist9331]

Omg, I totally thought other reindeer guy would hit on Kristoff. But alas, no openly gay characters in Disney movies..

[@snowangel7980]

My thought is this! So the glacier is sort of alluded to as the frozen heart in the opening of the first film. Elsa "dies" once she reaches the heart of the glacier that is warned about in that opening song. It also says "Ice has a magic that can't be controlled". And while in the first film this was obviously referring to Elsa, on a larger realm, if we focus on all the spirits, it is exactly this uncontrollable magic that comes from Ahotallan. And we hardly see ice in Arendelle, so he would have had to come from the north. Kristoff, especially in the first film, shares a lot of wardrobe similarities with the Northuldra people in the second. Then he has Sven, and reindeer are not really seen in Arendelle but seem to be a staple part of the culture of the Northuldra. We also know that he lost his family when he was young, presumably because he got left behind. And, he developed a relationship with the trolls, who seem to be the only magical thing that managed to make it out of the enchanted forest before it was trapped in by fog. So my theory is that Kristoff and Rider got along so well because they're somehow related. Kristoff is from Northuldra, or of the Northuldra people, and his circumstance getting lost while mining ice when he was really young is the reason why he made his way to Arendelle. I mean, there are a few things that would have to be better explained, but I think he definitely has way more similarities with the Northuldra than the Arendellians.

Yeah, that would have been awesome for them to have different magical girls like Elsa of all the different elements...but they didn't. The spirits are all just random things like a salamander, earth giants, a water horse...and it's weird. Magical girls who have the different powers of the elements would have been a lot cooler and they could make more cute merchandise with all those new characters that people would love. :p And Elsa would know she's not alone. Or they could have just had Anna discover somehow that she has fire magic (pink fire like the lizard) while Elsa has ice, which is what I wanted. So they could give something to Anna's character too that would be cool, and not just Elsa- or throwing Anna a bone like she says. lol Anna should have something too, and Anna was born on the Summer solstice while Elsa was born on the Winter solstice so it'd kind of make sense too that they both get powers.

[@agletdontforgetit]

My ending- -Arendelle is destroyed. I hate when two bad things are going to happen, and the main characters are like “we can only fix one” but in actuality, both get fixed. I don’t think it teaches a good lesson about life and all that. Like, bad things happen. It isn’t always the end of the world. Same reason I didn’t like Ant Man and the Wasp -The northern people help rebuild Arendelle, cementing the trust and connection -This gives Anna a chance to prove that she is put together and confident enough to lead. -Elsa realizes that she is happier with the northerners, would rather freely explore her powers, and can trust Anna to lead the kingdom herself. (Even though to me, Anna was never someone I thought could be the queen)

[@haley-cn4de]

Arendelle not being destroyed was the one thing that really surprised me, I was expecting at least one consequence to be semi-permanent... and yeah I figured if it was destroyed they would just rebuild it and Anna would get to prove herself as queen; they even had that shot in Some Things Never Change of Anna walking through the frame of a house that's being built, idk it just seemed like a bit of foreshadowing

The worst part is that they'd already fudged it so the kingdom was evacuated anyway so it's not like she would have been condemning them all to death.

[@shadowdroid776]

I feel like Anna should've been the 5th spirit, however, she cannot *physically* control the other elements, she can *emotionally* control them. She was able to make her sister calm down and restore everything to normal in the first movie by sacrificing herself, she made her sister grieve and feel sorrow, and realize how much she loved her family. Why not expand on that by making it an actual thing that comes naturally to her, empathy and being able to emotionally reach out to others? It would explain why, though Elsa can literally create and control ice, Anna is just a bubbly, happy, emotional girl that just wants people to get along. She literally controls the other elements by figuring out what she can do to help them. Disney, listen, you can actually make it "friendship saves the day" bullshit and that would fit with her character. It can even show that she always got along better with others including animals throughout her life, that when she was out of control, her friends understood her and reacted the same way. That way, at the end of the movie, Anna ascends the throne because she has a better handle on taking care of people.

[@thehedsrambler7964]

Man. I was so certain where you were going with Villainess was that she claims to be the fifth element, but she is actually a witch/spirit who turned all the other elements into animals. And somehow in so doing, she takes their element for herself. So she appears to have control over all elements because she's the last one, but in reality, she's taking the powers for herself. Maybe the reason they're animals but not outright dead is that the power she gains from them needs to be recharged, basically. Maybe the reason we never see the wind animal is that she's been drawing on their essence this whole time to control the wind to fool Elsa - and they are actually held prisoner somewhere. Also, this is why Charmander is so scared of her - she's drawn on their fire many times before. So the end game for her with Elsa is for her to steal a chunk of Elsa's spirit and turn her into an animal, too. This is also why all the elements tear the kingdom apart - that was Villainess using her power to force Elsa out of her home and to her. And then after Villainess is defeated, the essence returns to all the animals and they become magical girls again. THAT WAY YOU GET CUTE ANIMAL MERCH AAAANNNND MAGICAL GIRL MERCH SO YOU MAKE ALL OF THE MONEY!!!

So I’m sat on their couch, pmsing horribly, and absolutely ugly SOBBING at Frozen 2, it was hitting me in all the feelings. And then I get a text, from my client, asking if I’m okay.

Not sure, but I think they could've done better than the actual wind

[@jsas2047]

I think the idea of the spirits being the elements itself is pretty good but i just wish they would've been consistent. The water spirit is made of water but likes the shape of a horse most, the wind spirit is just wind, but the earthand fire spirits are physical forms. The earth/stone spirit could've just been everywhere like the wind or shape into different forms like water. Same with fire, that one would've been a bit harder since moving fire would just burn everything but.. it's a fictional spirit, it just not burn anything on command. Or it could be presented by heat or smth. If they had a physical spirit for wind (maybe a bird) it would've been consistent too, making Elsa the true water spirit. Or they could've used the seasons instead of the elements. There are soo many good ideas for a sequel, so many great backstories and explanations, they could've built an amazing world. Instead they just this.. whatever this is.

things that were never explained or annoyed me about the movie: -the salamander had no purpose to be in the film except to sell toys. -most of the songs were reprise-seeming or very close to the original frozen -the dude that kristoff talks to before his solo song is built up like he will matter in the movie or be kristoff's brother/good friend, but is never really seen again -they don't do a good job at establishing that ana is fit to run a kingdom. like elsa trained her whole life, but ana just sorta made her own fun and did whatever & even after elsa stopped hiding, ana took the backseat and elsa went all hardcore leader. anna is better as a kingdom embassador or something, not a literal leader. -same thing as the dude who talks to kristoff, what was that girl who had a deep convo w elsa halfway thru???? cause we don't really see her again after that. what was her purpose?? (there are more things but im forgetting them at the moment)

[@RenaDeles]

I mean I did go "ok *Elsa* shouldn't be leader" after she almost got her sister killed multiple times for no good reason in the movie, showing she's as impulsive as she was in the first movie. There was a lot of "I know best" that honestly should have lead to Elsa failing her quest. Anna meanwhile, for her naivety in the first movie, actually seems the most level headed of our main cast. In this movie we see she's basically shed that naivety, and grown up, unlike everyone but maybe Olaf.

[@chrisbcpack]

@@RenaDeles true. the song she has w olaf in the beginning showed how much she matured while still keeping w the 'for the first time in forever' thing she had going on. but elsa was still trained from birth to be a queen while ana was at the side, not being taught those things. and kristoff is no help as he knows nothing about palace stuff till he meets ana which is a deviation from other disney movies where maybe cinderella's prince or snow whites or sleeping beautys could have helped her if she didn't know anything cause they were raised with leading a kingdom in mind. basically what im saying is it would have made much more sense for ana to be the one living in the woods running some ice thing w kristoff & sven and elsa to be running the kingdom

[@RenaDeles]

@@chrisbcpack it's true Anna likely doesn't have the same statecraft training (though I would assume she has SOME, as Elsa's only heir for so long. You need something in case your weirdo princess never comes out of her room), and yeah honestly unlike Eugene who seems very ready to be royal consort, for Rapunzel also not having her statecraft down (but at least having her parents still ruling, so she's got time), Anna and Kristoph would prob be happier just running their own little ice business. But I guess how else can Elsa become a crazy cat lady, going wild with her avatar powers and granting life left and right. ( The after credits was hilarious, but also made me even more worried about Elsa. Maybe someone needs to give her the be equivalent of Frankenstein, because I don't think she's ready to be mom to *that many* living things.)

[@andrewb.8184]

On the ominous voice calling Elsa (that's Aurora btw cause she's great), she's singing the beginning of the Dies Irae, a really old and hugely influential song that usually symbolizes danger and, since it's a funeral song, death. So with this, the nokk/kelpie/water horse usually drowning their riders, Elsa's siren song reference, literally every sign is pointing to this Disney princess dying at sea. Honestly, kinda disappointed she didn't actually kick it...I mean, there's still time I guess.

“At least they have their parents! *Their parents are dead.”* “Alas, change mocks us with her beauty.” “Anna? Elsa? Samantha? .... Who’s Samantha?

Don’t be scared!” stuff was preetttyyyy heavy handed though. It was annoying and repetitive. I feel like even for little kids, they knocked them over the head with it. I don’t blame Olaf for that. That was the studio. 🙃

[@VultureSkins]

This movie felt so much like it was working up to Elsa being gay or just fully accepting herself, the vibes were there, the music, literally everything and then it's like. its ur dead mom

[@lisasowa1195]

*Freud appears*

[@wheeliebin1791]

I really don't know where people get this idea from that Elsa is gay. Elsa expressed interest in no-one throughout both films, which is much closer to asexuality. More importantly though is that her arc had nothing to do with romance at all. To add that would muddy the themes by making the film about too many things at once. Giving her a partner would also take away an important distinction she has between herself and Anna as well as adhering to the Bad Writer's Manifesto that all main characters need love interests in the sequels.

[@Whatlander]

@@wheeliebin1791 Ehhh. I doubt Elsa saying a girl looks cute would muddy anything, nor would it make her the same as Anna, or require getting a girlfriend. It's Disney. I don't think they even know how that works. As for folks hoping Elsa would be Ace, Bi, Gay, etc, I think it's _because_ Elsa has no established interest in anyone - it would be a nice touch to sneak a little not-straight in there. It doesn't require a whole romance plot. Just a line or expression to indicate a moment of interest in someone other than a man. She could also be Aromantic & continue not dating or wanting to date anyone, while making Aro people happy to be acknowledged in a major film. Plus Elsa's whole entire thing is being born different, hating herself and trying to hide it because that's what her parents wanted, and then deciding to just...not do that one day. She leaves town, tries out a new look, and sings about being so excited to finally be herself and nobody's around to judge her for it. Frozen 2: Elsa feels restless and still out of place in a way she can't put her finger on. She is wooed by a mysterious unknown entity, who she is determined to meet. She's still 200% all about finding her own identity/learning to love herself and the ways in which she is different from the rest of the family. That's going to resonate with a LOT of Queer folks, no matter what. A 10-second scene to confirm all those "gay allegory" vibes would mean the world to folks and take nothing away from the story. Frozen is not a masterpiece of originality or complex narratives. It's kind of a hot mess in glitter heels, which _also_ resonates with a more specific portion of the LGBTQ+ community. The real question is "Why not?" (PS: please don't forget, *Asexual* people DO date, if they're interested in somebody. They're less motivated by sex, is all. *Aromantic* people can also date TBH, they just don't experience romantic attachment the same way, and they're not driven to seek out a relationship. An Aromantic person may be very sexually attracted to other people, though. There's overlap and some folks are both, but they're not interchangeable identities.)

[@woodfur00]

@@Whatlander You make some good points, but you're making it sound like canon _doesn't_ deliver good rep, you're listing asexuality and aromanticism among the things that could be represented but not acknowledging that that's exactly what we get. Which makes it seem like that's not enough somehow, like that's a lesser form of representation than having her show interest in a girl. Please just let us keep our aro princess.

in a weird way your script doctor has a lot in common with the Frozen storyline from Once Upon a Time. They had this character Ingrid come in and meet Anna and Elsa and Elsa's all excited because Ingrid also has ice powers because Ingrid is Anna and Elsa's long lost aunt. But Anna is skeptical of Ingrid and knows that she's up to something fishy including Elsa. It was a pretty good story until it got all tangled up in all the other storylines that OUAT tried to cram into a half-season.

Oh, Anna sure as heck does. She goes from being flighty and unhealthily obsessed with her sister and dealing with her justifiable abandonment anxiety to being okay with Elsa moving away and only seeing her once a week and calming down from being silly and thoughtless to being a rather contentious and responsible ruler. This movie is Anna's story, not Elsa's. Elsa is magical nonsense and her arch was completed in the first movie, now its just her, needing to be what she really is (a literal goddess). Anna is the human, the one who has to take care of the kingdom while Elsa goes off to Ascend or whatever. Moreover, Anna is the anchor and connection between their obvious goddess and the people.
