    Come to think of it, the old guy could have represented the people who weren't comfortable with the people being Wayfinders again. He could’ve been the first generation to have stopped the voyaging (either him or his parents) and, as a result, he and his peers would be ill prepared for such a change. Like "our island is just fine! Why should we voyage again?"

    • @slaapt
      @slaapt Місяць тому +4

      He and his peers would be best prepared because they are most likely to have grown up with the stories and some of the old skills. It is the people two generations later, say Moana's generation, who would least prepared because they didn't grow up with the stories and none of tbhe old skills.
      But then again, we already know Moana's dad was the one who stopped people from sailing away too far. So old man could easily have been a decent sailor.

    I think Maui losing his tattoos in that scene was supposed to be him being turned mortal but he got his powers back after the battle, since moana gaining a tattoo was meant to be her becoming a demigod, they should have explained that better in the actual movie

    14:57 That's the thing. Disney used to be pioneers and experts of their craft. But nowadays, it feels like that they've become shells of their former selves and are too focused on what'll make them the most bank instead telling a legit good story, sequel or not. And as someone who had high hopes for Zootopia 2, I feel like that it'll meet the same fate as Moana 2 and every other Disney sequel before and after it; something that plays it too safe, is afraid to take risks outside of their comfort zone and devolve and/or rehash once beloved movies into shells of their former selves. Meanwhile, Pixar, DreamWorks, Sony, Warner Bros and to a certain extent, Illumination, they are mostly consistent when it comes to crafting follow ups that supercede the originals. There's a reason that sequels like Toy Story 2, Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Toy Story 3, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Inside Out 2 are fondly looked back upon as modern classics that are leaps ahead of their predecessors while sequels made by Disney can barely jump over the hurdle.

    I'm really impressed by this video, man. I'm loving your content, dude. Films like this deserves to be better than this, but my real big animated sequel of the year was Inside Out 2 anyway. Also, that final statement about the worries of Disney's future path was quite intimidating and ominious, but hey, I'll take it over using AI for the visuals or worse, the story.

If she's the protege of Quincy Jones, one of the greatest Jazz Musicians of the 20th century, she's gotta' have some kind of skill as a songwriter. Never mind the fact that she's from TikTok, she's also apparently won grammys and emmys. I feel like they should've just went with Emily as the only Songwriter.

    Well, Moana hasn't always been this drab
    I was a great little franchise once
    Now I know I can be sad as a pig
    Because I'm ugly, baby
    Did the producers say Moana 2 was gonna be good
    Building off of the first one
    I need three words to tear their arguments apart
    The Producers lied
    I'd rather be
    Mid
    Like a rip-off from the Disney company
    Ruin the movie and make it look
    Mid
    I will leave a stain on this movie franchise like all the other sequels did
    Just a sec
    Don't you know
    Dollars are dumb, dumb, dumb
    They chase anything that stains (potentials)
    Oh, and here they come, come, come
    To the brightest movies that stains
    Mmm, dollar signs
    I just love money (money)
    And you look like money (money)
    Well, well, well
    Little fans having trouble with their hope
    You little semi-demi-mini-fans
    Ouch! What a terrible performance
    Get the cash (get it?)
    You don't spend it like you used to, man
    Yet I have to give you credit for my start
    And your lack of money in your pockets
    For just like you I made myself a work of art
    I'll never hide, I can't, I'm too
    Mid
    Watch me dazzle out like wasted potential in the franchises
    Strut my stuff, my stuff is so
    Mid
    Send your hopes but they'll never be enough
    My impotence's too tough
    Fans man, you could try, try, try
    But you can't expect a bunch of producers
    To beat a mid sequel (look it up)
    You will lose, lose, lose
    Now it's time for me to take apart
    Your aching heart
    Far from the ones who abandoned you
    Chasing the love of these filmmakers
    Who made you feel wanted
    You tried to be tough
    But your armor's just not hard enough
    Fans
    Now it's time to kick your
    Hiney
    Ever seen someone so
    Mid
    Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see
    C'est la vie mon ami
    I'm so
    Mid
    Now I'll waste hopes, so prepare your final plea
    Just for me
    You'll never be quite as mid
    You wish you were ugly and
    mid

    I don’t know why Moana 2 is getting so much hate. I just saw the movie tonight and I really liked it! The story was cohesive, the drama was great, the music was bangers as usual, and it’s nice to see Moana learn something from a supposed villain and apply it during her quest. That’s my favorite trope when it comes to those types of characters.
    Really, I only have two complaints.
    1) The movie can drag a bit at times, especially during the beginning with introducing the little sister, adorable as she is. I feel like more should have been done in the first fifteen or so minutes of the movie to really make it stick with you.
    And 2) The story is just a *tad* similar to the original, and Moana 2 suffers in the same way as Inside Out 2 in that regard. The overall story is mostly the same as the original movie: sail across the ocean, find a missing island, break a curse, return home. Still, I think the movie did enough to stand on its own merit.
    Overall, while the movie definitely has its hiccups, I don’t think it’s a *pointless* sequel, and definitely not the first three episodes of the TV show stitched together. It’s cohesive all the way through, for what it’s worth.
    9/10 movie for me, would watch again if I got a chance.
