Why Joy Did NOT Get A Matching Emotion For Inside Out 2

How Riley’s Lead Emotion Will Evolve Into Love In Inside Out 2!
Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is getting ready to add a handful of new emotions into Riley’s psyche that each seems to match one of her already existing emotions. All except one. The only member of Riley’s original emotional support team who doesn’t seem to have a match or counterpart is Joy. And though that might look like an oversight, it could actually be a really big hint for what’s to come. Here’s how Riley’s lead emotion might just evolve into Love in Pixar’s Inside Out 2!

I don't think anyone is transforming, but I do think that Love, as a different emotion unto themself, could come out towards the end of the movie. You have to remember that joy and love are separate things. You could be madly in love with someone, and angry or sad that you can't be with them, for example, or you could be more afraid for someone's safety and such BECAUSE you love them.

[@PaigeTheCartoonCaptain]

Yeah. Love is SO complicated it can't be it's emotion, rather a mix of all the others

[@alllscination]

Love is not an emotion it is an attitude.

​@@alllscination"Love is not an emotion, it's a feeling." Works better imo

[@DiamondKujulha]

Even without knowing that personally (complicated story that has nothing to do with romance.)

[@Nabil-ue3eo]

Yeah and plus we see that the parents have the same core emotions, so maybe Riley is going though a phase? That or it gets retconned

[@inkheart151]

I actually like the theory that people with depression or chronic anxiety literally get their own emotions to deal with. It’s kind of like how the adults have a certain core emotion who runs the console, similar to how joy took over 90% of the time when Riley was growing up, but like Riley, learned to deal with it and be balanced. But what if they have more complicated issues? That’s where extra emotions and chaos come in, like anxiety. So I like the theory that Riley either had temporary anxiety issues that come with teenagerhood, or that she’s actually developed an anxiety disorder that she needs to learn to deal with. Especially considering that Riley is known to be happy and cheery even in the worst situations, she could have the personality where she’s trying to bottle everything up (as seen in the trailer) just to keep that persona together. Clearly she’s good with major changes, as seen in the first film.

[@dataweaver]

Ennui and sadness, yes; anxiety and fear, yes. But I think you might have gotten the other two backwards: embarrassment strikes me as being more closely related to disgust, and envy to rage.

[@edt-ze3ke]

Anxiety is also related to joy besides fear. Envy is a combination of sadness and disgust

Joy and Love go hand-in-hand like fear and anxiety do, so a new emotion called Love could very well appear in time to assist Joy in saving Reiley.

[@magdagalvan7208]

Hi! Great vid! Just as you noticed, the new emotions could stem from the core 5. Embarrassment is pink because it stems from red Anger. Envy is teal because it stems from blue Sadness and green Disgust. Their hair is also similar. Ennui is deep purple(?) because it stems from purple Fear (maybe darkened by black Depression?) That would make orange Anxiety stem from yellow Joy (and maybe red Anger). If you remember, Joy is very hyper, apprehensive and controlling during the first film. That would make her a good candidate to be Anxiety's match. And Anxiety's hair is an exaggerated version of Joy's hair. Please don't hate me, it is just a thought.

[@BiggestPhangirl]

Love isn’t a form of happiness or joy, it is a form of attachment (and if we’re getting technical it’s actually a chemical response in the brain). Love can be connected to joy, sure, because love can make you happy…but it is totally separate in that love can make you feel just about anything, including the other four core emotions. As for a transformation, we see fear and anxiety in the same room together so clearly fear did not transform into anxiety. If we’re going to bring the first movie up, as well, we should also remember that the plot has to advance and send a message and the emotions had to develop emotions for that to happen, so it could very well just have been a plot device to move the story forward.

[@melissaherrera940]

I mean, you can say all emotions are just chemical reactions. But I agree that love couldn’t be accurately personified as an emotion because it’s more than just an emotion. I think a lot of people confuse love with infatuation which is more of an emotion like joy or sadness. And usually when you love someone, you aren’t always feeling infatuated with them every second, especially as time passes and the honeymoon phase of a crush or relationship fades.

I think Riley being adopted should be addressed in this movie. Children who were adopted as infants have trauma from that transition from birth mother to adoptive family and often spend their entire lives wondering why they always feel anxious. Clearly Riley first saw her parents when she was clean, dry and swaddled in a bassinet, not in the delivery room. She also has blonde hair and blue eyes and her parents both have brown hair and brown eyes. Slim chance that she wouldn't resemble either of her parents.

[@cuteybuppy3605]

While this is an interesting theory, I had a cousin who was born blonde and as he got older his hair turned brown.

[@redrubytwilightxx8700]

Its not impossible. Some people resemble their grandparents or even aunt/uncle more than their parents.

[@MsKatastrophenBarbie]

Or maybe riley was born via csection and just shown to her parents shortly, then meassured, weighted etc and handed back dressed to the parents. It is not uncommon to happen in america.

[@amnedits4898]

I wrote a comment on an Inside Out 2 short a while back saying something similar to this theory but I feel the new emotions are combinations of the current emotions; Sadness + Fear = Anxiety Fear + Disgust = Embarrassment Disgust + Anger = Boredom Anger + Joy = Envy Then the 5th emotion will be l; Joy + Sadness = Love It shows that your emotions become complex as your grow older and go through new experiences but they all originate from your core emotions.

As someone with depression and anxiety since I was 10, sadness and ennui being connected makes complete sense and that’s how I constantly feel; also the idea of the fear being so strong that a new emotion, anxiety, is created is also relatable! Great theory :)

[@Aoyama_zee]

Theory: so joy is every emotion in her own way she even show's a emotion the emotion's had never recognized. She is every emotion in her own way and it creates a new land at the end emotion land

[@Potatocrime24-7]

I have a theory that riley is going to find a way to balance out her other emotions and normal emotions. Her mother's anger emotion mentions "well thats a preview of the next 10 years" when riley has a breakdown about herself. To me this makes me think that riley's mom might have gone through this too and might help her or perhaps take her to a therapist to talk about these feelings and emotions to find a way to live with them.

[@m0thernature730]

As someone who has adhd and anxiety i can promise you anxiety being it’s own emotion and as it looks like in the trailers is taking over! Is a representation of fear and disgust trying to control your life. As seen in the trailer’s anxiety pushes Riley to act differently embarrassment is fear and sadness, envy is disgust and anger and boredom is disgust and sadness. Your hormones get all complicated and confusing at this time and especially at the beginning you don’t feel like you. I have a feeling that it will start with Riley experiencing something that has everyone going crazy and joy is unable to calm them down then BAM everyone shows up. Mixes that exemplify more complex emotions And like anyone acting on anxiety and not fear acting on envie and not simply anger or boredom and not sadness or simple disgust. You lose that joy. Your entire life is filled with a buzz of panic. Nothing hits right I think boredom is what happens when you are devoid of joy… anxiety leads when you can’t feel comfortable. There is a place for anxiety… for embarrassment… for boredom… for envy. But there isn’t a place for them without fear driving that anxiety, joy to push yourself when you are bored, disgust to recognize those icky feelings and redirect them into something more productive. And sadness to feel those feelings with that embarrassment. Anger is the one left out. But i think there is more to this story… if we are seeing a girl growing up… and two boys are part of our cast… I think we might see a very interesting transformation.

The VERY adult version of this would be joy splitting off into a 2nd&3rd character and it being pleasure & love but they stick together a lot so later in life she’d confuse the 3 different emotions.

[@bloodmooncomics2249]

What gets me is that they added other emotions that are usually negative. Joy is the only positive emotion. It would have been nice to add love or at least content. Now she has 8 emotions that are usually negative and still only one positive. Maybe that is why Joy feels like she has to be in charge and tell the others what to do because if not Riley would be a depressed person. Usually people are not happy when they are fill with anxiety, embarrassment, anger, fear (kinda with fun scared but usually not), sad, or disgusted. The only positive emotion being the Joys for anyone is pretty bad and seeing as how only Riley seem to have Joy as her main emotion is makes you think that everyone else in that world is depressed.

[@QueenSpark22]

In my version, love is a part of my emotion friend group called the feeling hub. 😀💗

[@asteri8299]

Im pretty sure the actual reason why joy doesnt have a matching emotion is because inside out 2 SEEMS (from the trailers) to be about Riley navigating the intense experiences of puberty and not so much love. Should note Inside Out follows the psychology of emotion pretty much to the T. The emotions that are new in the sequel are advanced emotions that have reduced intensity of its core. You could note that all of the new emotions are not combinations! Just advancements in complexity to the cores! Love is a /combination/ of two core emotions, and joy as her core self seems to, in the original film, cover many of the advanced emotions thay branch off her! To create an effect of love, two of the core emotions required to create love would only need to both use the console at the same time.

[@Idk_stitch]

I think the reason is because joy didn’t show enough love and it wasn’t enough to evolve into its own emotion

[@tic857]

From the trailer I dont think its going to be transforming, but rather incorporating. The Main emotions are the base emotions. As you grow older and experience new forms of those emotions, its easy to call them different names, but without being able to process them and figure out what they are and WHERE they come from, it can be hard to address the stressor. For example. Many people will throw around "Stress & Anxiety" Alot, but what is it? They can name the sensations and what they are thinking, but at the core of anxiety is....fear. For folks who have Anxiety, therapy helps them recognize when they are feeling it, and to deconstruct the emotion to its base form. And then they can work on addressing it. You can't address anxiety, unless you address fear. Anxiety is not a separate entity from Fear, but rather a BRANCH of Fear. And I think that's what the second movie is going to be, teaching Riley and the audience where these more complicated emotions stem from and how you have to address and involve that base emotion to start to help heal yourself.

It's a cool theory, but I don't think love is gonna be it's own emotion, just like I think hate isn't gonna be, love and hate are everywere, love for your family, your friends, certain hobbies, or even love as we think of as romantic love would likely already be represented from the start

for the audience perception, at Riley's age the emotions may have stronger ties to perceived genders we tend to associate more with it, vs what Riley would interpret them to be were she aware in any way of the internal dialogue we are getting of her. And I don't think we are getting love as a partner until Riley is an older teen. That would be like the third installment since these are like internal growing up discussions to give them something to think about. And with the volatility of some rabid disney conservatives screeching in media, because not every story has to result with a woman getting married to end a series on 🤷‍♂️ but, if they are keeping up with the child psychology research it could also end up a series later dealing with episodic emotions like Bluey for tweens.
