      A movie about a man coming into his own, accomplishing things, getting stuff down. Without a woman along to "keep him grounded" and offer quips and snarky commentary that constantly attack his ego. Perish the thought.

      Or hear me out…… after the lighting bolt she did die, and her soul couldn’t come to conclusion of that so she made up a mission to “save” her people and at the end where she “dies” she actually comes back to life and we see she was dead most of the movie and everything she did was in her head trying to get her to cope.
      It would had been really interesting mostly because maui being a Demi-God could had brought her back to life with the help of the clearly intelligent water. Water=life. Idk prob way to deep for children. And this stupid plot got 1billion bucks so what do I know?

    I don't think turning Moana into a demigod is a cop out. At least not if this was a miniseries where they could talk about it and explain what I'm pretty sure happened: humans can rise to demigodhood through great achievement and sacrifice. Maui wasn't born a demigod, he became one, and his tattoos show up as he earns them through his achievements. Moana, through saving the world twice at the expense of her own life, earned her place as a demigod. If this was a proper show, then I imagine her getting struck by lightning would be a cliffhanger and the next episode would have her learn more about how and why she was granted her new powers, probably from Maui

    • @apollo6988
      @apollo6988 18 годин тому +16

      moana becoming a demigod is viable, but as to how people become demigods it depends on culture. for maui in the first movie, all of his achievements in the song youre welcome were very generalised as the specifics differentiate between cultures (i.e the way he catches the sun changes depending on countries). mauis the most popular and becomes one through the means you said, but in nz theres also hine titama who was a demigod before turning into a goddess alongside tawhaki whos the grandson of a goddess and a mortal, etc. would've been really cool for them to explore different demigods and how they all came to be

    The biggest issue for me was how forgettable all the characters were, especially Loto, Moni, and Kotu.

    There were definitely issues here with buildup and payoff, mostly from things likely lost in the show-to-movie adaptation. They especially bug me because I could think of easy fixes before I finished walking out of the theater.
    Example: "You've gotta get lost" went nowhere. They go through the portal, then find their way. To fix it, make the stars in the other end of the portal unreliable, and to find the island they need to stop searching and just go. Make it a "you can only find it if you're not looking" thing.
    The Deus ex Machina ending bugged me too: No buildup or foreshadowing or anything, just here are the ancestors to revive the dead. My fix: Just before Maui goes through the portal, the bat lady warns him that Tefiti gave him his tattoos and made him a demigod, but that doesn't mean she's the only one who can take them away. One line, nice and simple.
    Then get to the storm: Every lightning strike knocks off some of Maui's tattoos, leaving a shifting fluid edge that smears when he touches it. The fight continues, and by the time Moana wins and dies, he's only got a little left. He gives it to her, drawing on her first demi-god tattoos and bringing her back to life (we think for a bit he's lost it all, but he's still got his little man).
    Moana feels bad for his loss, but he tells her each tattoo was earned through a great deed done, and a great story told. He earned a full body's worth once, and he'll do it again. Then the ancestors come to honor them (so they're not left out entirely), deliver Moana her paddle (glowy demigod tool, just like the actual movie), and their tattoos both shift, depicting their raising of the island; a shared legend for both of them.
    Personally I think that would have been a better ending than Deus ex Ghosts.

    5:53 i mean it makes sense. Moana 2 basically telling us to avoid the possibility of inbreeding. Its been thousands years already they gotta find more people.
    12:16 those two songs are different though, Matangi is encouraging her to “get lost” look for another way, getting lost is how you find your destination. Maui is trying to motivate Moana and reminding her that it’s because of her he’s a better person. Matangi didn’t sing of how she’s a better person because of Moana, she just met her.
    Also i will never understand why its such a hard concept to grasp that when a character is older they start to become more aware of how dangerous everything is, Moana is older in the sequel so it makes that she’d be more grounded and realistic, I don’t understand why people call this a “character regression” sure the Ocean is on her side but we see in both movies that it doesn’t always help her.
    14:10 all she needs to do is touched the island, she did, but Nalo struck her, so she died from that and cause she needs to earn the tattoo and the status of a demigod, from what she’s been through from the first and second movie she deservedly earned that status

    I think this is a rare time where it would have benefitted to being a mini-series rather then a full blown movie. The story is not BAD, just rushed. Here is how I would fix it: Turn it into a reverse Odyssey story where Moana is searching for this lost island in order to reunite all the lost tribes. While on her travel, she FINDS her WAY to some of these tribes and recruits them as her crew to look for this island and break the curse that divides them. It could even build up and explain WHY Moana has this connection to the ocean, and why only she is able to get to these islands. Every now and then, run into mythical monsters and spirits, even see a familiar goddess again.

    Moana 2 making over a billion dollars at the box office shows just how desperate parents are to find clean movies which they can take their kids to see in theaters (and, because of the quality of Moana, they probably had high hopes for Moana 2). Every studio keeps pouring their attention into dozens of half-baked film (or series) ideas that they throw on streaming services on the cheap, and then release around 1 attempt at a half-baked theatrical-level release once every 2-4 years. You can't do that. It's financial suicide, and leads to lower-quality products. Think of what they're doing now as making fast food. It's quick, cheap, and leaves you feeling a little sick, especially if that's all you eat. That's why in the PAST, they used to make 1-2 theater-quality movies EVERY YEAR and a smaller handful of tv series to add to rotation which received 20+ episodes ANNUALLY (not 8-12 episodes every 1-3 years). Ironically, in the past they were making less products, but there was more to watch because people actually wanted to watch them. Today they're spreading themselves too thin with quantity over quality--and it's killing them.

Lets do like the exact same thing but moana. Like exact same thing. Grumpy old person who hates life. Manic borderline autistic savant person who’s obsessed with designing and fixing a ship. A young person who is obsessed with the villages ancient hero story but has no self confidence to go on their own story? Yeah those were great.
    It would have been so much more interesting if instead of Moana convincing people who didn’t want to go with her to go with her, she instead was reluctant to take people (idk maybe because teaching people to wayfind was harder than she thought and she had a close call and became scared that her people weren’t ready for the danger) and then those side characters were people who also longed to be voyagers just as Moana did in the first movie. That would explain their own motives and self desires. The old guy who may have even been a way-finder in training when Moana’s dad forbid going beyond the reef. The boat designer who started designing boats because she wanted to voyage herself and the cave of boats inspired her to think different. The historian dude who became obsessed with past voyagers because he aspired to be one himself.
    Idk man, instead none of them actually wanted to go and non of them were particularly helpful in the voyage.

    The thing that I think most people missed is the fact that Moana finally got old enough to start looking for a husband and when she looked around at the people on her island she was horrified to think she’d have to marry one of those people. So she’s been desperately trying to find other islands with people in the hope that they would have better marriage prospects for her. Her island has no competent males of the right age (the himbo who went with her and the weird dancing boy are apparently her only options). If the island had capable young males she wouldn’t have put together a crew of such incompetent and ill-suited people. You see the sheer joy on Moana’s face at the end of the movie when she spies boats on the horizon (one of which contains a young man who appears to be the correct age). While the movie doesn’t spell this subplot out (and I may have made it up entirely) it made watching her desperately trying to leave her island much funnier. I was cheering her on and saying “You go girl! There are plenty of fish in the sea! He’s probably out there somewhere waiting for you!” 😂

    I have a theory that a human can't become a demigod without first dying and having their life evaluated by the gods or ancestors. Maui may very well have been the first "disposed of" baby, and the gods made him a demigod to promote keeping your child alive so that they can enjoy all the wonderful lives they were meant to have. What I'm saying here is: Maui should be viewed as an example of the benefits of choosing to give your child up for adoption, if you don't want your child. Not killing them.
    And Moana being a demigod now means she and Maui MIGHT end up together. It's a good idea. He pulls up islands, and she directs people where to go to find such islands. It's a good match.

    For a film that had the most wasted potential, it got nominated in the Golden Globe Awards for Best Animated Feature.
    Let that sink in
