As a polynesian (samoan) and your subscriber/fan, I’m abit ecstatic that my culture was represented in one of your videos 😍🥰 Totally fangirling but above all, thank you so much MatPat for this 🤍
I feel like if Moana was dead, they would've been able to tell that she was a ghost and wouldn't have burst into song in the middle of an important ritual smh
@@Missyisbored That, and the fact that it's literally stated in the movie that Moana's people were voyagers. They roamed the seas. It's not unlikely that her mom found Maui's island at some point.
By the way, wouldn't it be weird to say "Hey, Ocean, dinner's ready!"? It's the reality they're living in. Then again, in polish you have name Jagoda which literally means "berry", so I suppose some people do live in that reality
Many people keeps asking, "why the sea is trying to hit her in the first time she was leaving the island?" I belive its because her grandmother had the heart stone, and the sea wasnt going to let her leave in a pointless adventure without it.
Macacoviz I actually agree with this theory.. poor moana had no clue but I always wondered why the sea made it so difficult for her... this makes sense
Moana survives everything because she's has the Heart Of Tafiti. Think about it, in the same night Moana gets the heart from her grandmother, her grandmother dies and visibly gets weaker right after giving her the heart
Richard Cano Im Tongan (of Polynesian decent) - and 'Puaka' means pig in Tongan. So to me it makes sense that they called the pig 'Pua' for short in the movie
they eat pork all the time. like when she fixed the leak in the beginning . i thought the ocean was its own god. she was a mortal on a mission. (didnt save her from the mini coconuts)
WTF you actually did the pig brother theory. That setup was perfect. Like, I wasn't at all expecting that off hand comment to come back in the end. And when it did, I died.
Tui: My beautiful daughter is born! I must protect her from the dangers of the ocean so she doesn't get killed. What should I name her? Tui: Tui: Tui: Tui: Tui: Tui: how about ocean? Sina: yeah that sounds about right.
but the chief has to be moana’s dad cuz maui(?) has been on an island the whole time. when she’s a little kid her grandma tells her and other kids about the legend of the heart that maui caused.
Jacob Gonzalez Well Yea Maui was stuck in a island for centuries, it’s just cool that in actual historical stories that Maui and the Mom of Moana were actually together
@@JacobGonzalez-rl1es in the song " who has two thumbs and pushed up the sky when you were only yay high? This Guy" Apparently he wasn't there that long
Here's an alternative to her imperviousness: She had the stone that can create life itself hanging from her neck the entire time, every time she would otherwise die. So there's that.
ツSlayer1ツ also the reason he says “but that’s just a theory” is because he’s not 100% sure that it’s correct... until a director confirms. He’s basically saying “sure this makes a lot of sense but it’s not true until the director says so”
Well... So, in one instance, a goddess would be a female daughter of a titan. The same for a god, which is the male version of a goddess. But when you use the word, god or gods, it can either mean a male god, or it can mean every single god, Boy or girl.
Some assholes visiting Aruba once kicked and played golf with hatchlings causing a leatherback massacre on one of the beaches.. soooo yeah... i guess they wouldn't have
@Nicholas Breighner his theory makes no sense because he was trapped for all thta time. If he was moanas father then she would be thousand of years old
@@jaclynpillay7640 who said she wasn't? Gods who ARE thousands of years old don't necessarily look their age? That's the whole point of gods being immortal. They don't age.
I think he’s an ancestor of hers since he was on an isolated island for 1000 years and it would have been impossible for him to get near her mother to procreate.
"Sometimes, who we wish we were, what we wish we could do, it's just not meant to be." This line has always stuck with me. Seems to make sense if she’s a demi-god that decided to take a human husband.
Even if this isn’t cannon I totally believe that they took inspiration from these stories to make Moana, even when I don’t agree with the theories they’re always fun and educational :)
Matpat: don't worry I'm not gonna say that moana and her pig is her brother 15 minutes later.... Matpat: that's right! Pua is Moana's brother Me: wow *claps*
HeiHei is one of Moanas ancestors reincarnated into an animal. I have proof, but LET ME WATCH THE THEORY FIRST GOSH DANG IT *EDIT* Wow people like my theory. VIDEO WATCHED, LET'S GO! If should have died by the end the of the movie, the chicken should have literally been reincarnated 8 times over and died after each one. HE LITERALLY ALMOST DIES AFTER EVERY OTHER SCENE FOR HUMOROUS APEAL! He tries to commit suicide at least twice, and I haven't even finished the movie. SO WHY ISNT THIS CHICKEN DEAD?!!!??! Simple: He is. Heihei is an 'amakua, or the spirit of a Hawaiian ancestor reincarnated into an animal to guide Moana through her journey. 'Amakua have been known in mythology to be many different things, from plants to animals to even rocks (remember that pile at the top of the hill? That's a theory for another day). 'Amakua often come back to provide guidance and help their living ancestors. This explains server all things, like HeiHei's ability to teleport. There is no way you can tell me that he logically got in that boat before she left! No, he appeared there to guide her on her journey. But, you, comment reader, ask: "Why does he try and kill him self then?" ANSWER: HE DOESNT HE CANT DIE HAVE YOU EVEN READ THIS?!?! Jk No, he jumps off the boat to test her. It's kinda like a pop quiz, just to make sure she's still on point from long ago when she first saved the turtle. After this, she fully develops her powers, and HeiHei doesn't try and kill himself again, even though he has perfect opportunities, like when her boat flips. Also, the 'Amakua's form makes sense. In Hawaiian culture, a chicken is symbolic of magic (don't ask me where that came from), and the pig makes sense as well, as it symbolizes stubbornness. Magic and stubbornness are two of the characteristics that carry Moana all the way to meet her goal. Is HeiHei just a dumb chicken? I DONT THINK SO. But hey, that's just a theory. A FILM THEORY. Thanks for reading.
Here's an alternate idea: what if Moana's demigod status was cause of Tui and not Maui? Remember, Tala is Tui's mother, and we just established that Tala is the goddess of the stars, so it's likely hereditary, but the twist is that Teui doesn't know it, or at least is trying to ignore it for as long as he's trying to protect Moana from the sea (see what I did there)😅
I’ve got another theory to how Moana became a semi god. When Maui is telling the story of becoming a demigod it was a story of him being rejected by humans and adopted by the gods. Moana says maybe the ocean chose to save him because he was worthy. When moana saved the turtle she was proved worthy to become the demi god to save them. Also did he know for sure he was rejected by his parents? He may have run off like moana and the ocean saved him from drowning by accident.
Actually, that may be true. In Māori mythology, Māui was born premature, and his mother assumed he was dead. So, his mother cut off her hair, wrapped him in it, and cast him out to the sea.
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.
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.
Plz do a video about Popeye and his relationship to Spinich. How much does it increase his strength, speed, endurance... or does it make him invincible. Thanks Matpat
Very nice, I know next to nothing about Polynesian mythologies so I would believe it if you told me there's a story of a human, pig and rooster being the children of an eel and a hummingbird. But apart from Maui being on an island for forever while the mother was supposedly human everything seems seamless :) And yes, Disney does put a lot of effort into their animations!
"getting hit with a large piece of wood and being underwater for a long time is really bad for your health" Me: *I do that everyday, what you talking about?*
"Yeah yeah Matpat, talk all you want about how nice Moana is. I just know your going to say Moaui is a serial killer, or the pig is actually her brother." *Matpat confirms Pua is Moana's brother* HAH
Monkey Girl it's wrong Maui has been on an island for 1000 years, and moana is a teenager. I think that the gods chose moana through the ocean when she saved a baby turtle. She was just a baby, and had to chose between a pretty shell and saving a turtle. I know for a fact an average baby would usually pick up a turtle and try to keep it, and not try to help it get away from them. And is it possible if moanas grandma is a god then isn't moanas dad a god? Also who is the chicken
Even after 3 years I'm still flabbergasted that in the beginning of the video you joked about pua being moana's brother *only then to actually have strong evidence that pua i s her brother at the end*
bro. you- you know he did the research and wrote the script...?? he does the theory then writes the script. to quote the great Oversimplified, that's called foreshadowing.
there's a major hole in mat's theory, what with Maui being stranded on an island alone for a thousand years. Moana was conceived, born, and grew up to about 16(according to tv tropes) before they met, so at most the mating ritual that led to Moana existing happened 17 years before they met. there is a pretty big number difference between 17 and 1000. there is still the possibility of Maui being Moana's grandpa though, so the shippers should still feel weird.
Tanu A no, the chief would be her father, Tala her grandmother on her father's side, and if you want Maui to be related to Moana, he can be her grandfather on her mother's side. or possibly an uncle. the myths involving Sina apparently can't agree on whether they were married or siblings. I'm just glad they don't claim both at the same time.
this actually makes a lot of sense, watching the movie I questioned why Disney didn't go down the old prince and princess route. having Moana instead find her real father and form a bond with him makes sense. also I LOVE Pua, he's adorable!!!!
I love the part when he said “create one” and a picture of ikea popped up And wait the rock owned a Fanny pack to quote Deadpool I had one of those in 1990 never
Sort of for Polynesian. While I can’t speak for all the gods, Maui was a bit of a poon hound, and numerous chiefs and kings claimed to be his descdent so it’s entirely possible.
maybe not.....it would mean that at some point Maui lived with them on the island, and prolly even stole the heart originally to prove his love to Sina but was then exiled and Sina found a new husband
amyfan1997 Maybe she couldn't get pregnant and prayed and made a deal with a God, or maybe even, DemiGod to get pregnant. That's why it's so important that Moana takes over, because her mother is unable to have another child.
Matt :”I’m going to the positive side”

HeiHei is one of Moanas ancestors reincarnated into an animal. I have proof, but LET ME WATCH THE THEORY FIRST GOSH DANG IT
*EDIT*
Wow people like my theory. VIDEO WATCHED, LET'S GO!
If should have died by the end the of the movie, the chicken should have literally been reincarnated 8 times over and died after each one. HE LITERALLY ALMOST DIES AFTER EVERY OTHER SCENE FOR HUMOROUS APEAL! He tries to commit suicide at least twice, and I haven't even finished the movie. SO WHY ISNT THIS CHICKEN DEAD?!!!??!
Simple: He is. Heihei is an 'amakua, or the spirit of a Hawaiian ancestor reincarnated into an animal to guide Moana through her journey. 'Amakua have been known in mythology to be many different things, from plants to animals to even rocks (remember that pile at the top of the hill? That's a theory for another day). 'Amakua often come back to provide guidance and help their living ancestors. This explains server all things, like HeiHei's ability to teleport. There is no way you can tell me that he logically got in that boat before she left! No, he appeared there to guide her on her journey.
But, you, comment reader, ask: "Why does he try and kill him self then?" ANSWER: HE DOESNT HE CANT DIE HAVE YOU EVEN READ THIS?!?!
Jk
No, he jumps off the boat to test her. It's kinda like a pop quiz, just to make sure she's still on point from long ago when she first saved the turtle. After this, she fully develops her powers, and HeiHei doesn't try and kill himself again, even though he has perfect opportunities, like when her boat flips. Also, the 'Amakua's form makes sense. In Hawaiian culture, a chicken is symbolic of magic (don't ask me where that came from), and the pig makes sense as well, as it symbolizes stubbornness. Magic and stubbornness are two of the characteristics that carry Moana all the way to meet her goal.
Is HeiHei just a dumb chicken? I DONT THINK SO.
But hey, that's just a theory.
A FILM THEORY.
Thanks for reading.
Matthew Heidenreich well what's the proof? Tell me when you're done lol
Matthew Heidenreich what proof do you have?
Legend of awesome productions Her grandmother was reincarnated as a stingray
Fire Wolf But her grandmother is a very unnatural spirit-esque stingray. What makes Hei Hei one of Moana's ancestors?
Edit: Spelling.
She is related to a guy that is voiced by Lin Manuel Miranda, so that would mean the Lin Manuel is a chicken.
Here's an alternate idea: what if Moana's demigod status was cause of Tui and not Maui? Remember, Tala is Tui's mother, and we just established that Tala is the goddess of the stars, so it's likely hereditary, but the twist is that Teui doesn't know it, or at least is trying to ignore it for as long as he's trying to protect Moana from the sea (see what I did there)😅
I’ve got another theory to how Moana became a semi god.
When Maui is telling the story of becoming a demigod it was a story of him being rejected by humans and adopted by the gods. Moana says maybe the ocean chose to save him because he was worthy.
When moana saved the turtle she was proved worthy to become the demi god to save them.
Also did he know for sure he was rejected by his parents? He may have run off like moana and the ocean saved him from drowning by accident.
He does have the tattoo on him that shoes his parents casting him out.
Actually, that may be true. In Māori mythology, Māui was born premature, and his mother assumed he was dead. So, his mother cut off her hair, wrapped him in it, and cast him out to the sea.
@@Robin.gal_luv oh cool!
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.
... 'You can't expect a demigod to beat a decapod'; so a human beats the decapod, not the demigod.
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.
Isaac Diakite Demi doesn't mean half it means part so 0.25 works to
I just realised that hahahahaha ^^
Arthur Hardland no because in the danish version it is Called halv Gud. HALV AS in half

That's a really good video idea plz MatPat DO IT!!
Very nice, I know next to nothing about Polynesian mythologies so I would believe it if you told me there's a story of a human, pig and rooster being the children of an eel and a hummingbird. But apart from Maui being on an island for forever while the mother was supposedly human everything seems seamless :) And yes, Disney does put a lot of effort into their animations!

Would've been cool if matpat actually flew to a Polynesian island to meet with the actual gods and find out for himself.
Bold of you to assume that there would be Polynesian gods there to begin with. Still, I can see your point..

later:
"Pua is Moana's brother!"

That is exactly what I thought! Bravo *claps genuinely*
ikr i was like *what you lie shame*
Monkey Girl it's wrong Maui has been on an island for 1000 years, and moana is a teenager. I think that the gods chose moana through the ocean when she saved a baby turtle. She was just a baby, and had to chose between a pretty shell and saving a turtle. I know for a fact an average baby would usually pick up a turtle and try to keep it, and not try to help it get away from them. And is it possible if moanas grandma is a god then isn't moanas dad a god? Also who is the chicken
Angry Kittydog but what if her mother sailed to maui's island and then met moana's "dad"
That's what I thought!!!

Well all the people that ship moana and maui now must feel weird
there's a major hole in mat's theory, what with Maui being stranded on an island alone for a thousand years. Moana was conceived, born, and grew up to about 16(according to tv tropes) before they met, so at most the mating ritual that led to Moana existing happened 17 years before they met. there is a pretty big number difference between 17 and 1000. there is still the possibility of Maui being Moana's grandpa though, so the shippers should still feel weird.
Tanu A
no, the chief would be her father, Tala her grandmother on her father's side, and if you want Maui to be related to Moana, he can be her grandfather on her mother's side. or possibly an uncle. the myths involving Sina apparently can't agree on whether they were married or siblings. I'm just glad they don't claim both at the same time.
Shadow
no, it isn't.
I honestly never did Ship the pair because the relationship seemed too platonic to me
I mean there's a lot of incest in Greek mythology why wouldnt there be a lot of incest in other mythologies
Everytime I watch a Moana video Im surprised by how long ago Moana came out
Beginning- now you guys are thinking that the pig is Moana’s brother
End- one of the children of Maui and cena is pua/ name of pig

MatPat: It's not going to be the pig being Moana's brother or anything.
The pig: IS MOANA'S BROTHER
Love this theory, because who doesn't want a pig for a brother?
GamingHazzards my brother is already a pig
LOLOLOOL
Mabel does
GamingHazzards agreed
GamingHazzards I have a pig for a sister. Not literally. She eats like a pig. My sister loves pigs so I call her a pig.
this actually makes a lot of sense, watching the movie I questioned why Disney didn't go down the old prince and princess route. having Moana instead find her real father and form a bond with him makes sense.
also I LOVE Pua, he's adorable!!!!
Me too! I wish Pua could have come on the boat as well as HeiHei!
Luna Fox Actually the real story was Moana finding more about herself
Stop with the pigs, they're everywhere, they'll take over the world lol

Sort of for Polynesian. While I can’t speak for all the gods, Maui was a bit of a poon hound, and numerous chiefs and kings claimed to be his descdent so it’s entirely possible.

I love this theory because it suggests that Sina travelled miles over the sea just to cheat on her hubby and get it on with a hot demigod.
amyfan1997 that's the best comment i've read all day
maybe not.....it would mean that at some point Maui lived with them on the island, and prolly even stole the heart originally to prove his love to Sina but was then exiled and Sina found a new husband
Mizudayo problem is that Maui has been stuck on that island for over 1000 years or so
amyfan1997 their are some myths were mother's of deities had to delay their pregnancy for whatever reasons.
amyfan1997 Maybe she couldn't get pregnant and prayed and made a deal with a God, or maybe even, DemiGod to get pregnant.
That's why it's so important that Moana takes over, because her mother is unable to have another child.
I love the effort put in to all of your theories even if you ruined my childhood 🙃
