Truth be told, I wish there'd been another reason for Ariel and Eric choosing to separate Melody from the sea and her heritage.

Personally, I think growing human/mermaid conflicts would've been a good idea. Ariel's given a choice ultimatum that she can either stay human or become a mermaid, by her family. Ariel makes the choice to stay human, and then becomes more estranged from the sea until she decides that mermaid/human relationships are a hopeless cause, and just decides to completely close off the mermaid part of her life.

And that's why Melody isn't allowed to go back to sea, and knows nothing about her own family. And when she goes to the sea she learns a lot about the situation, and reunites the estranged parts of her family and reconciles humans and mermaids.

I like that! Basically like the 2023 remake. It also sounds like Emily Windsnap, where the title character has to reunite her family who were separated by human-mermaid tensions.

And adding to your idea, maybe Morgana is turning humans and merpeople against each other. That could be her ultimate revenge against Triton. Maybe instead of just stealing his trident, she'd rather make him suffer by undoing the human-mermaid relations everyone worked so hard to maintain, which in turn is going to destroy Triton's own relationships.

You also got me wondering how/if Ariel would get along with other humans during a human-mermaid feud. Maybe humans fear and hate Ariel for being a mermaid. Or maybe humans are OK with Ariel because she's "one of the good ones".

Since someones asking you about disney… have you ever seen Cinderella 3: a twist in time? Or the ariel prequel, or the ariel sequel?

Ah, the Disney home to video releases, what splendid times those always are.

I have, alas, not seen Cinderella 3, nor the Ariel prequel (I didn't even know there was a prequel), but I have seen the Ariel sequel.

Not sure I have much to say about it.

The thing about these sequels are that they are purposefully lower quality than the theatrical releases. They're not getting the same artists, composers, writers, directors, and sometimes not even the same actor. The sequels are decided after the movie was financially successful with films never intended to have a sequel.

So, you get the writing staff shoved into a room and told "make a sequel to The Little Mermaid" and they go "uhhhh" because all the loose ends were pretty well tied up and what the producers really want is "make me The Little Mermaid exactly again"

So, we get The Little Mermaid exactly again.

What I Remember of Little Mermaid II

Caveat, it's been a while. A long while.

But Ariel and Eric have a daughter who is the perfect combination of them both: in other words a parenting nightmare. Ariel's father gets revenge on her by making her raise herself.

Melody doesn't want to be a human, she wants to live in the ocean.

"Please don't," says Ariel, but Melody isn't listening because Melody is sixteen and knows everything (as Ariel did for that matter).

And so we get Melody making a bargain with The Wicked Sea Witch of the East (Sir Not Appearing in Film 1) and gets to be a mermaid. She has a grand time until she learns that making Faustian agreements with strangers is not a great idea.

Eventually, Ariel has to accept her daughter wants to become a fish and she learns the terrible truth of "we all become our parents"

Seeing you have “Little Mermaid II” as your profile pic…what do you think would’ve happened if instead of building the sea wall, Ariel and Eric just sent Melody inland far away from the sea?

I kind of doubt they'd send her anywhere unless they went with her. She's their daughter. But honestly, I've never even thought about that as a possibility. Because as much as I love Little Mermaid 2, I have to admit the whole premise is incredibly flawed, and the problems go so deep that sending Melody away wouldn't make any more sense than building the wall. It even goes further than just Ariel and Eric's out-of-character parenting decisions. It pretty much starts before the movie even hits the five-minute mark.

I know this is going way off topic, but now you've got me thinking about this lol. So first of all, you have to ignore the sheer absurdity of Morgana's plan and the fact that there's no way it should have worked. It starts with her literally grabbing baby Melody from her mother's arms... from the top deck of a ship... while Morgana herself is still underwater. I know there's plenty of inconsistency on just how long these tentacles are supposed to be, but this is maybe the most ridiculous stretch (literally).

Whatever, let's say she's really stretchy. Now, kidnapping Melody is not necessarily a stupid plan in itself, but just how crazy is she to do it in broad daylight in front of hundreds of people? I guess not quite as crazy as the fact that not a single one of those people makes any attempt to stop her physically. The movie makes a big deal of how unskilled she is with magic, so it's not like anyone should be that intimidated by her. And yes I know babies are delicate, but they do have the instinct to hold their breath; I think Melody could survive a short dunk in the water if Morgana got knocked out or something. There are dozens of merpeople everywhere; if Triton couldn't reach her, someone else would. Ariel would definitely dive headfirst off the ship to get to her if it came to that.

But let's say everyone is so worried about Melody getting hurt that they don't want to get too close. Okay. Even if Morgana isn't particularly scary, she does have a tiny bit of leverage. But the next thing that happens is Triton, king of the sea and wielder of presumably one of the most powerful magical weapons in existence, IMMEDIATELY gives in to her demands.

This is supposed to be the same King Triton who initially refused to give in when Ursula, a way more powerful witch, tried to blackmail him?

He only gave in to Ursula once it was very clear he couldn't beat her by force. And not only was Ursula a substantial threat, she also had an actual legal claim over Ariel with the contract. But he didn't care. And yet he doesn't even TRY with Morgana, who is far weaker and has far less leverage over him. All she's doing is threatening to feed Melody to Undertow. If she wasn't physically holding Melody, she would have nothing at all.

Triton has the trident right there in his hands, and apparently there isn't a single thing he can do with it that will save Melody.

Oh, wait.

He totally can.

And he can do a whole lot more than that.

But not just yet... or else there would be no movie.

NOW, after we've already suspended a whole lot of disbelief, we finally get to the building of the wall.

First, we have the fact that Melody is Morgana's only target, and furthermore that everyone assumes this is the case. Yes, she verbally makes this threat, but it's a huge boast on her part, and there's no reason to assume she'll actually be able to follow through. She spends twelve years waiting for a chance to get at Melody again. That's a LONG time to wait for something that might never happen. Okay, Morgana isn't very bright, but you'd think she would get frustrated and give up or make a new plan. Doesn't Triton have any other grandchildren she could kidnap by now? (In fact, where are Ariel's sisters throughout this whole thing? We see four of them for two seconds during Down to the Sea, and... that's literally it. You'd think we'd at least see them helping in the search or something.)

Also, why can't Morgana get to Melody one of the ten thousand times she sneaks out to swim in the ocean? She can spy on her, so she should know this is a regular occurrence. If the wall really does anything to protect Melody, then it wouldn't take so long for Morgana to lure her away once she starts going under it. And she's clearly very practiced at this by the time we see her out there.

Basically, Ariel and Triton and everyone else are seriously overestimating Morgana's abilities AND the functionality of the wall for... no particular reason. But that's not even the biggest problem, in my opinion. Even if you ignore or rationalize everything up until this point, this is when you get to something even stupider than the wall: Ariel lying to her daughter.

To be fair, I do like the way they tried to frame Ariel's parenting struggles against her father's and show that she was making a hard choice that she thought was the right one, just like her father once did. But the way they got there just makes no sense. I can understand why keeping Melody out of the sea might make sense as a really extreme precaution, but I fail to see how not knowing about Morgana or Atlantica would make things any safer for her. Why not just... tell her?

"So you're half mermaid, and when you were a baby an evil sea witch tried to steal you to blackmail your grandfather, who by the way is the sea king, and she threatened to come back for you and we still have no idea where she is, so we don't want you going in the ocean unsupervised."

That's it. There's literally no reason for her not to do that. And it doesn't necessarily have to mess up the movie. What if Morgana disguises herself as someone else and tricks Melody that way, saying she wants to help find this sea witch to make the ocean safe again? What if she creates a diversion and lures Ariel and Eric into some kind of trap, and she blackmails Melody into stealing the trident to save them? Those are just off the top of my head. There are plenty of ways to make a good story without turning beloved characters into not just terrible parents but idiotic ones too.

I'm not even going to get into all the rest of the issues with this movie. Like how Ariel and Eric apparently convinced everyone in the kingdom to go along with the ruse and not tell their own kids about Atlantica (otherwise why would all the kids be making fun of Melody for "talking to fish"?). Or how Melody spent so much time hanging around Sebastian and Scuttle and no secrets ever slipped out - or for that matter, how no secrets ever slipped out from ANYONE in the castle around her. Or why Sebastian just let her run away instead of going with her for protection or maybe explaining things to her right then. Or how Tip and Dash have conveniently never heard of King Triton or his trident. Or how Tip, a penguin, can breathe underwater. Or how everything in Ariel's cave is intact after it was wrecked in the first movie. Or why Morgana can spy on Melody whenever she wants but Triton can't do the same thing to find her, even though he's obviously more powerful. Honestly, I keep thinking of new things even as I'm writing this, and I've given it plenty of thought before. But this is already way too long.

So yeah... I will defend Little Mermaid 2 with all my heart as a sweet, fun mermaid movie that I still enjoy. I could make a post even longer than this one going into all the things I love about it. But I can't defend it as anything close to a solid story because it falls apart pretty much anywhere you touch it. And I think it's important to acknowledge the difference between the two.

#yeah this got way off topic but i have Feelings about this movie lol #little mermaid 2 #asks #ahg
