    MOANA, Disney's newest princess. A strong willed, independent woman, out on adventure. Or is she? There's a lot about Moana that doesn't quite add up. She controls the Sea. Visits the Land of Monsters. She isn't just some typical Polynesian adventurer, no. Moana is more than what she seems!

      Sena may have traveled to Maui's island and had a relationship with him, but couldn't get him out of exile because she wasn't the "chosen one", therefore leaving and meeting the chief on Moana's island. To explain the pig, he would be Moana's older brother and left with Sena during her departure.

      I was just about to comment this. I doubt the mom would have left because I think in the movie, they say they all have remained on the island for a long time and it was made a rule before Moana was born that people couldn't leave. So the mom being able to sneak away for the time it would take to fall in love with Maui and get pregnant and make it back to her home island would be too long of a disappearance and the islanders would winder where she went for all that time.

      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

      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.

      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.

    Dear matpat,
    I was glad that you attempted to turn a new leaf and put a positive spin on a recent Disney favorite of mine. However, your theory here doesn't hold up. In order for Moana to of been conceived both her mortal mom and Maui would have had to meet. The only means possible are that Maui visited their island before his isolation, or her mother, Hina, traveled off the island. Here is how both are not possible.
    1) As grandma Tala said in the tale of stealing the heart, "...the heart lost to the sea, where even now 1000 years later, Teka and the demons of the deep still hunt for the heart". That means Maui stole the heart centuries before Cina/Hina was even born, making it impossible for him to have visited her, much less have a child with.
    2) This one is not impossible, just extremely unlikely. It could have been possible for Cina/Hina to have made the voyage before Moana. It could have been an secret of Cina/Hina's, and that may have been why she was willing to help out Moana, allowing her to chase after the legends and stories of her grandmother. However, this is still unlikely. As stated, her father attempted to go beyond the reef and lost a friend in doing so. This story was told, but not the secret successful voyage. Additionally, it was established with the rock sculpture on top of the island that no one has left the island for a long time. Again, this secret voyage could have happened, but if she made the trip to find Maui without the heart, why wouldn't he have left the island? Especially with his new love? It just doesn't add up that Cina/Hina has ever met Maui.
    Sooo... how did Moana survive all those normally fatal experiences? Well, you said it yourself, she's a god or possibly a demigod. What made me so upset was that you were so close to my theory. It was when you mentioned Pele, the fire goddess.
    I have read a great deal of great mythology, and have been interested in Norse, but Hawaiian and other Pacific mythologies only began to interest me before Moana came out. I've done some thinking and now believe that Moana is the daughter of Namakaokai, the Hawaiian goddess of the sea.
    I believe that it could be possible that Moana is on such good terms with the sea because she is either her daughter, or a gift. When her father attempted his voyage he lost his dear friend. Saddened by her malevolence, Namakaokai attempts to make wrongs right by gifting Tui a daughter for the loss of his dear friend by causing his love to fall pregnant or fall in love with him to have the child, hopefully bringing joy back into his life. This works, but he still fears the ocean and doesn't forgive it. However, his daughter, Namakaokai's gift/ possible daughter is still attracted to the sea and wants to be with it.
    I don't have much to support this with concrete facts, and I have not read any legends like this, but I feel like there are less holes in this theory. I would love to hear your opinions on this and would greatly appreciate a response. Signing out, fellow theorist.

    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.

    I think this theory could work!! The evidence that Matt shared here is great, and I have noticed that both Maui and Moana share a few genetic traits as well. BUT -- I've recently rewatched the movie and I started thinking about this thepry as I was watching, up until the scene where it showed the stones on the mountain of Motunui, which represents all of the people who took on the role of cheif after Maui caused the oceans to become too ruthless to voyage- in multiple scenes you can see the several generations (I counted over 10 for sure) that were there after Maui took the heart- so either Moana, Pua and their mother are a thousand years old and don't look the part (which seems unlikely since nobody else acknowledges it) or Maui would have had to be on the Motunui Island and NOT stranded on his own island after he took the heart in order for this theory to make sense. The theory of Maui and Moana being related is literally one of my faves, but I think I accidentally debunked it just bc I rewatched Moana as a comfort film lmfao, anyone got any other ideas of how they could be related?

    • @sourcream990
      @sourcream990 Рік тому +2

      I also wanna add that it also makes sense for Moana and Maui to be related bc in the film you actively see her having a much closer, father/daughter-like relationship with Maui more than she does with Tui, her supposed father! It would make sense for Tui to be loving, yet distant with Moana in many ways throughout the film.
