When the movie came out it was a well known theory among fans that the hug in Bruno's vision wasn't Isa and Mirabel, bur rather young abuela and Mirabel. This would help explaining why the house didn't fully recover after the sisters' hug, but started its recovery (aka, reconstruction) after abuela's hug in the lake, representing her making amends with her past and embracing the way her family worked in the present

Of course, the MC is really good but her mother is very strict about it at a point she's mad at her because she narrowly lost a race. When the father blames his wife about it, she answers that she has to works more because she decided to devote her life to it but he says " No, YOU decided to devote HER life to it ". Ironically, the MC's name is Isabelle.

I can kinda see this. I think it's also largely to do with the fact that she's the first grandchild (proof that her family is not only surviving but thriving... as far as Alma can tell) and... Isabela is pretty. She's the eldest, and pretty so she's got big expectations on her to find a husband and make more magical Madrigals and "keep the miracle burning." She probably intended to groom Isabela into a future Madrigal matriarch, since she was the eldest grandchild. And then it turned out that really Mirabel was the best suited for the role.

[@DuckEmpress]

I feel like Alma was actually living vicariously through Isabela. She knew her idea of a perfect life was taken from her, and she wanted to recreate it with Isabela. Mariano looks like a more muscled Abuelo Pedro, and dresses like him too. So in her mind, she's not only living through Isa, but giving her a perfect life. Isabela doesn't view marriage and kids as the perfect life, which goes against Alma's more traditional views.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

I mean… it’s possible she wants to marry and/or have kids, just not with Mariano.

[@Moonbovine]

She could still want kids and marry. It’s not “tradition” that she’s against 🤣

[@Doomzdeh]

You’re putting words into Isabela’s mouth, kinda like Abuela did. Isabela’s views on marriage and children aren’t known because she never got the chance to express these views-she merely admits that she doesn’t want to marry Mariano. That’s not surprising. Even people who dream of marriage and children wouldn’t want to marry someone who they didn’t love. It’s likely that, if Isabela got to know someone really well and got the chance to fall for them on her own terms, she’d be all for marrying them.

[@jholmes553]

I really how Bruno's prophecy for Isabela sounds so positive and supports the "perfect princess" image Isabela plays for everyone. At that point of the movie, viewers would think/assume that the prophecy had been fulfilled when in fact, it still wasn't. Isabela does have a dream life, Mirabel promised it to her when they sang that song together and she did get it at the end of the movie when she finally gets to be who she wants to be. Also, her magic did grow like grapes in the vine.

[@themindeclectic9821]

(My grandma even got upset when my mom named me the way I am, because she wanted to name me after her. In my family, it's normal for others to name your children, my brother's name came from my aunt and grandpa, the same aunt also offered other names for her nephews and nieces) But then my youngest cousin was born, the last grandchild from the last son/child and born AT THE EXACT SAME DATE as my grandma.

WHY CANT I STOP LOOKING AT ISABELLA SHE SO PERFECT AHHHH

[@kittythalj9882]

Well...She's perfect in her own ways.

[@magiccreeper9794]

Who did not realize this in Encanto

[@blackmagician7645]

Yep. Even Bruno's vision paired both grandmother and granddaughter as one.😄

[@Sanaa_K_Mohamed]

Oh thank God, I thought I was the only one who saw the resemblance, especially with Pedro and Mariano.

[@christiantwist3360]

Awe little Bruno

[@kay0976]

and she always was graceful and a good child. so most likley ye

[@Drace90]

...Or she was just the oldest.

Lol 😂

[@hercules_oo7]

😂 possible..

[@jyotsnasrivastava6373]

Thing is that Isabela and Dolores are same age but, I think Isabela came first

[@brooke.t.g.r5646]

Or both..?

[@kmaye3140]

Isabella came first, with dolores being a few months later so they are the same age with Isabella being older

[@meyva9530]

"also look at Mariano and Pedro side by SII-"

[@Angie.jelly030]

She’s been projecting onto Isabella :,)

[@efevwerhaelizabeth1701]

And that's why the vision showed Mirabel hugging Isa (a version of her grandmother).

[@squidwardwithblondehair7219]

I remember when I first watched it I was like “huh isa and mariano look very similar to alma and pedro must be there was of shoeing they’re related so they will look like eachother” then on my second rewatch I was like OMG Alma see’s herself in Isa and wants to give her the most perfect life which turns out to be extremely toxic as she abuses her entire family’s powers in order to make her and Isa look the most golden.

[@ShotoTodo-1]

Soo, basically she wanted to be the one to "live through" her granddaughter because she didn't get the ideal life she "so rightfully" wanted? Aight.

[@dancherry2343]

Dude you're awesome! but Isabella just have magical powers of being perfect, I even love her myself! she even walks like an deity

[@SF64]

Her powers are spontaneously growing flora instantly, perfectionism is a product of living up to her Grandmother's absurdly high expectations, she even restricted her power to only grow perfect and conventionally beautiful blooms, she never allowed herself to relax that image even when alone (she practiced and worked on being perfect). It wasn't until she finally broke down her facade with her Sister's goading that she even realised how she'd been limiting her life and powers just to appease her Grandmother. It was that liberation that Bruno foretold to her, to live the life of her dreams and how how her powers would grow.

[@xulilovermariana4239]

She is just like her grandma and Mariano is like Pedro.. Alma wanted Isabella to have the life she didn't but I feel like they both are fools at that moment.

[@JunoYaj200]

Bro the way he says abuela makes me laugh

[@TheThingsAnimated]

He’s saying Alma 😊 her actual name 💙

[@PRDreams]

So... She was a narcissist and was creating another narcissist. Nice.

[@spritemon98]

Exactly

[@lildoinker3502]

Mmm not exactly

[@rogerroo]

Finally a comment I agree with lol

[@goldenequals4203]

Not really. We have to remember Alma was scared as hell about loosing what could protect her family. Since Isabella was at the point where she could be married, Alma was thinking that those children would continue having gifts to protect the Encanto. The problem is Alma went about trying to protect her family in the wrong way. Isabella and Alma aren't narcissists, they just aren't perfect.

[@spritemon98]

@@goldenequals4203 she acted like the most perfect bitch to mirabella

He calls her "Alma" which is canonically her first name.

So then does that mean in Bruno's vision when it says to embrace Isa it really meant Abuela? Huh, I like that detail

How does these people know how they feel.. 😭😭

[@mrj.kottari8453]

I think Alma is not pronounced like "ohma", but more like [ull ma]

[@mode4801]

"Ull ma" does not work either. Say "Al" the same way you say the 'Al' in "Weird Al Yankovic" and then say "ma" (as in the short version of mom). Then say it together and fast. "Alma".

[@Kikoo508]

I noticed this the first time I watched encanto, like y does she look like isa and her supposed to be husband lol

[@oweee_ee]

The last one though 😳

[@Nemothefish03]

At first I thought u were gonna say “because alma is narcissistic and loves herself”

[@DJUniMekaju]

I mean, I saw some of this but you showed me everything else I missed. 😆 A Roblox oof for Isabella. 🙏🏽

[@lefterismagkoutas4430]

the most difficult thing for a child, is the unlived dreams of their parents (and this case grandparent).

[@shaylala711]

That's sad and sweet

[@Gerard-Slay]

This has me thinking, maybe one of the reasons why Isabela didn’t want to marry Mariano is because she KNEW he looked like her grandfather and probably thought it was weird to marry someone that looks like him 😆
