    What if Ursula was triton’s sister and was originally a mermaid and looked like Vanessa and somehow turned into an octopus. That would explain her being triton’s sister and looking like ariel

    Vanessa was Ursula and Morgana's mother. She was a human witch that used her dark power to escape persecution by transforming herself into a mermaid, and seduced Poseidon. She taught her daughters witchcraft and about the human world. Ursula was then banished by Triton once he discovered her witchcraft, or perhaps her true ancestry.
    How is that for a theory?

  • @sunlightangel87

    Saw a different youtube video on this and the uploader cited the writers of the movie and according to them:
    1. Ursula and Triton ARE siblings. Both possess powers. Because he was a man he got the throne after Poseidon's death even though he was significantly younger than her. As consolation she received the enchanted shell from her father Poseidon, while Triton got the crown, trident, and throne. She felt it was unfair and that the throne was her birthright as the eldest of Poseidon's children.
    2. Ursula was very beautiful before she looked like herself. Her natural appearance was the way she appears as Vanessa. After Triton was named king, she turned herself into a human and lived on land. Yes, it's how she knew how they behaved on land. It was also how she knew how to turn Ariel into a human and it's why in her own human form she resembles Ariel in such a way that an aunt and niece might resemble one another. She always could have transformed back into how she looked originally. But she let hate, jealousy, and anger consume her.
    3. On land, Ursula fell in love with a sailor. Because she trusted him, she told him the truth that she was a mermaid and proved it by turning into a mermaid in front of him. Soon after, he left her for another woman. In her pain, she fled back into the sea and turned herself into an abomination, swearing off of love forever and making sure she never let anyone else fall in love with her again. But the sailor and all of his shipmates knew the secrets of the mer-kingdom thanks to Ursula. They came and attacked the mermaids, and the end result was the death of several mermaids, including Ariel's mother, Queen Athena.
    4. Triton blamed Ursula for Athena's death, as Ursula was the one who gave away the secrets of the mer-kingdom, so he banished her.
    5. Ariel, like many other mermaids, has the ability to enchant men with her voice. Ursula does not have this ability and thought if she had, her sailor would have remained in love with her. But she does have the shell, so she uses it to steal Ariel's enchanted voice, as we see in the movie, and she turns herself into a human again, uses Ariel's voice to enchant Eric, and in a moment of irony, makes Ariel think that Eric has fallen in love with another woman, named Vanessa. And where and why does Ursula come up with this name? 1. Because, obviously, she doesn't want Ariel to know it's her, and 2. Because Vanessa was the name of the "other woman" who Ursula's sailor lover left her for.

      What if that sailor and Ursula did you know what and when Ursula figured out she was pregnant with Uma the sailor left her, since Uma didn't use dark magic to change human to octopus in Descendents 2, she changed form through her emotion of anger. So if Uma's dad was the sailor that means Uma is part octopus and human giving her the ability to change forms automatically through her own choice (so she can shape shift between two forms because she is part two types of things)

      In the original Tale what became the character Vinessa and Ursula were two separate people that had nothing to do with each other.
      Ariel just lucked out that there was a young lady that happened to look a little like her in the village.
      As for the movies if it weren't for The Little Mermaid 2. she could have been written as a former client of a different sea witch. Losing her Youth and beauty resulting in the Twisted form that we see. Maybe a woman that was courting a wealthy sailor but lost him due to a storm. They say hell have no fury like a woman scorned.

      Agreed to a certain extent. Unfortunately, we know how hierarchies go... if a Male is born, then they are the heir. The first born male... it happens to be him so going off their tradition, he was the rightful heir. That aside, she killed her damn sisters. That's pretty sick and twisted to me. Ursula in my opinion, was mentally abused but that doesn't excuse all of her behavior.

    The story I learned was that Ursula was once a beautiful mermaid with a silver tail but the people hated that she killed animals for ingredients in magic so they banished her. She had a cave filled with ingredients for magic and she always sat on this rock that you could see the shore from. One day she saw a man and fell in love with him so, she used her magic to give herself legs and unlike the movie, she still had her voice. The only thing that would happen is that every step she took it would feel like a thousand knives were stabbing her in the feet and if the man she loved married someone else she would either have to kill the man on the night he was married and return or she would turn to sea foam. She did it and got legs. She changed her name to Vanessa and fell in love with the man and the man became her friend. The man never told her that he had a girlfriend whom he was engaged to and when she came back to get married Vanessa (Ursula) was emotionally damaged and she would have done anything to get him back but he married the woman he was engaged to and so on the night of there marriage, she killed the man in his sleep, changed her name back, and came back to the ocean and instead of her beautiful tail, there were eight gross black tentacles.

    I think Ursula has always been jealous of Triton's throne and him.being in charge of the ocean ever since she lived in his kingdom. I dont think.they are related because Triton is a merman and Ursula is an octopin. However I do think they are half siblings. Their father is Poseidon, but they both do have different mothers because notice in the deleted song in TLM 2, that Morgana sings, in the portrait of her and ursula when they were kids with their mother. Triton is not in the portrait. Now if they were related, Triton would be in the portrait with ursula and morgana and their mom. I think Triton just invited Ursula to live in his kingdom as a welcoming. And years later she didnt like Triton getting all the credit of ruling the ocean and that devolped jealousy and a plot to dethrone Triton. Its like how luifer/the devil tried to dethrone GOD and was exiled out of Heaven for doing that.

    All of the theories that involve Ursula’s ugly looks being responsible for her turn to evil make me feel super, super bad for her. 2:48 “They (her sisters) were all beautiful except for her.” And in that same theory, Triton getting the throne anyway when he grows up? Literally everyone else was put in front of her in line to the throne. Come on! And in the other theory at 4:33 “Triton thinks that she is an ugly monster”.
    Even in the movie itself I feel bad for her. Ariel’s a beautiful princess trying to get her man, Ursula’s exiled and WAY past obese and mannish and has an ugly voice, and she’s supposed to help the beautiful Ariel get her prince, which she still does! But she’s the bad guy for trying to get what she wants too. Even though she never lies to Ariel at all, and gets treated like she’s horrifying and disgusting by literally everyone even before she actually “betrays” Ariel (by doing exactly what the contact said she would do).
    I love her though. She’s a big booty diva with a great sense of humor and super smart!

      Keep in mind though, Ariel was about to get that true loves kiss. Until Ursula had her eels knock over the boat to stop it. She did everything in her power to stop Ariel from getting that kiss. She made a deal w Ariel that she could b w Eric for good if she could get that kiss, but if she couldnt she would turn her into seaweed w the intent of using her for ransom against Triton. So not only did she break the contract herself by interfering in Ariel getting her kiss, first w tipping the boat n then by using magic to snare eric away from her. But she basically kidnapped a child to use as ransom against her dad n then tried to kill her for no reason once she got the trident. Thats what makes her a villan. Good ppl dont sabatoge ppl, kidnap them, n hold them for ransom to get what they want. N they dont try to murder ppl, let alone for the fun of it. N yes, Ursula did lie to her. She never had any intention of keeping her deal. Which is y she sabatoged it. N agreeing to do something she had no intention of doing is a lie. This lie is y she wispered to her eels "fonsom, jetsum, now ive got her boys. The boss is on a roll" right there pointing out that everything she was saying to Ariel was nothing more than manipulation to use her love, innocence, n trust to screw her over n get control over the entire ocean. N do any of those seaweed ppl in her cavern look happy?Clearly she was banished for exactly that kind of evil that makes her turn ppl into seaweed, which if uve seen the tv show, seaweed is what mermaids eat. So basically her garden of canabalism

      Thank u. Ive seen it more times than i cn count. It was my favorite movie when i was little. N i still love it now. N like a book every time u rewatch a movie, u notice things u didnt before. Like for instance how the fat mermaid Ursula turned skinny in her song poor unfortunate soul, the skinny verson is identical to the look of Vanessa. N even i had noticed in the past how similar Vanessa looks to Ariel n her sisters. Surmising that Ursula had gotten the image of Vanessa from entraping one of Tritons sisters. N between Disney admiting she is his sister n her sister Morganna from the second movie, i surmise that Ursula is Tritons half sister. N the reason y Morganna is less powerful is because, being Tritons half sister, Ursula not only has power from her n Morganas mother, but her n Tritons father Posidon. N then on top of that she has her magic necklace given to her by Posidon. So compared to Morganna, Ursula is kinda a tripple threat

    that last theory gives a whole different meaning to the phrase that Ursula says little befor turning into vanessa "she's better than I tought" it could mean that Ariel's voice is more powerfull than Ursula originally tought. Then again, if Eric fell in love with Ariel due to being under a spell, it wouldn't be "true love" and any kiss they could have shared would have not worked, but in the end Ariel gets her human legs from her father's magic, we never see any "true love magic" so it could be that he is enchanted...

    Here's my two cents: King Trident and Ursula are siblings, different mothers or not (remember, hybrid species in Greek mythology can be radically different even among siblings), and Trident banished Ursula because she wanted better relations with humans on land.
    Think about it: Trident's hatred of humans and the surface world is irrationally fierce. Maybe he didn't want Ursula making alliances where he couldn't follow to take a close eye on her (Ursula's shown she has no problem traversing land).
    Whether Ursula had good intentions or not, she became bitter after her banishment and only wanted to overthrow Trident; losing sight of why she wanted to rule so badly in the first place.

(If Triton and Ursula are related.) 3rd Theory: Ursula used to be a beautiful mermaid..but was purposely cursed so no one would no she was Tritons sister..? 4th Theory: Ursula was supposed to be queen but Triton got her cursed so he could be king!

    Hi The Things! I have a few theories of my own about Ursula, and one in particular I think seems realistic.
    My theory goes along with the "Daddy's Little Angel" backstory. It states that Ursula was very jealous of her older sisters. What if Vanessa's appearance and name was inspired by Ursula's oldest sister? It makes sense from a symbolic stand point. She was going to get her revenge, become royalty in a kingdom where she was much more appreciated, and become queen of the sea as well. Why not steal the name and physical beauty of the person she originally hated and envied the most? Just a thought!

For this i think she just feel sad and madness for her brother and she wanted to take revenge. I think she doesnt have nothing personal with ariel she just use her to reach her father.

    Theory 3: She might want revenge for Athena, since you never said Ursula liked Athena.

    What if Ursula was Vanessa, but when she was banished by King Tryton, he turned her into Ursula, a less appealing octopus, so nobody would recognize her. either Tryton was embarrassed that Vanessa was his sibling, being that she used dark magic. Or possibly Arial had already known Vanessa was her aunt at the time Tryton vanished Vanessa, so Tryton changes Vanessa’s appearance to Ursula so Arial would stay away from Ursula. Also, if Vanessa was put on land as human, what is her sister and mother were human as well? we don’t get too much backstory on Ursula’s birth father. What is Vanessa, her sister, and her mother were turned into octopus by king Tryton?? just a theory...

In the third movie theyre seen stealing all of king tritons daughters stuff, little did you know, king triton hates ursala because she showed the humans about magic amd atlanta and the area they called home. She broke trust with the kindom because she was power hungry and thats why she was banished

I also chose Francesca Angelucci Capaldi, who has long red hair and a beautiful flawless angelic voice, to play Ariel and Noah Schnapp, who is very handsome with short black hair, to play Prince Eric as if Disney brought Charlie Brown and the little red-haired girl together and as if Charlie Brown didn't slip on that puddle of punch or accidently set off the sprinkler and had his dance with the little red-haired girl!

Triton must have exiled her so bad after the loss of his father and sisters (bc Ursula wanted the throne) she probably was cursed, vanished, and wants revenge on Triton. This using his youngest most precious daughter (a reminder of Ursula’s naive young self) to achieve the crown, kingdom, and power. That is great power of manipulation and grudge.

    I have another theory: maybe it was not triton she did not like. Maybe she had a sister named vanessa and she was the prettiest sister and ursula was jealous of her. And then ursula took vanessa's soul. And probably triton really liked vanessa because she cared for him. So once it was time for triton to rule, he banished ursula from ATLANTICA.

    If she is his sister then morgona is too, and in the little mermaid Ariel says only trident or his descents can remove the trident, if there related then she could remove it. But she had to send melody to get it

      Kylie Awesome but Ursula and Morgana can be sister without trident and Morgana being related.

    If Ursula and king triton are siblings, then how is Ursula an octopus and he is a merman

      Claire and Madeline I think it’s because they have different mothers

      A part of me thinks the entire sibling theory is dumb because of the difference in species, but if it's true that they were and Ursula was just cursed in that body at some point, she probably needed Ariel's pure voice to regain her previous form. If that's what happened, then Morgana should have a previous form as well, but was never shown to have one...

      Maybe she was making an enchantment and it went wrong so her tail turned into tentacles

      Exactly, and second, if Triton and Ursula are Siblings, where does that Leave Morgana?
