Frozen II should have been a Show

Frozen II and Raya and the Last Dragon. Both would have worked better as shows than they did movies. 

Sometimes when a story’s pacing isn’t working, the form of the story needs to be changed. A novel should become a novella. A screenplay should become a traditional play. A movie should become a show. 

The reason people don’t do it is because a full fledged show is a much bigger risk than a movie. 

It’s the risk of spending more time, and possibly more budget, on a show that may not get the needed attention for it to pay off. Because from the audience perspective, committing to a show takes a lot more time and energy than it does to commit to a movie. 

However, it’s a risk Disney can afford to take, and I bet for these two films in particular, it would have resulted in success.

For example, Raya’s advertising brought a lot of hype to the movie. And while it looked beautiful and told a compelling story, the pacing of that story was rushed, because they tried to fit so much into just a couple hours of screen time. 

But upon seeing the trailers, people were already comparing it to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Raya could have very well been Disney’s Avatar! And it was released around the same time that Disney+ launched, which would have drawn more people to the streaming platform. 

It wouldn’t have needed to be a long show. Certainly not as long as Avatar, spending full seasons focusing on one aspect of the show: water; earth and fire. Instead, Raya could have dedicated a few hour long episodes to exploring all the different parts of the world. 

Or they could have done exactly what Avatar did and dedicated full seasons to that, which would have been more of a risk, but either way, it would have resulted in better pacing. 

Then we have Frozen II. Ooooh, Frozen II. Let’s not beat around the bush. We all know this sequel was only made because of the success of the first movie. Disney only made it to make money. 

But to give credit where credit is due, the writers of the film still tried to tell a good story. But once again, they tried to fit too much into too little time. And the story they told wasn’t even worth it. 

The animation? Stunning! The music? Phenomenal! But the story? While an attempt was made, it did not do the characters justice. 

At least, not on the surface level.

See, Anna becoming queen could have worked, if they’d set it up better. There was a song removed from the original movie where Anna expresses her desire to prove that she was more than just second in line for the throne. More than just the spare in case something happened to Elsa. 

The song could have been re-vamped and reused in the sequel! And it would have worked! It would have made Anna becoming queen feel less random.

But also, she needs to earn it. Anna loves Arendelle, but we haven’t seen her doing much to take care of it. The most we saw was her leaving it in Hans’ care when she left to go look for Elsa in the first movie. If the sequel had been a series, there would have been more time for Anna to show off her capabilities as a possible ruler!

Then we have Kirstoff. In the first movie, it was okay that we didn’t get more backstory on him because that really wasn’t the point of the story. And honestly, in Frozen II, it was acceptable for the exact same reason. But imagine the possibilities of his character if we’d been given a show for a sequel instead of a movie!

In Tangled: The Series, we learned more about Eugene’s past, and it was awesome. It fleshed him out more as a character, rather than him just being Rapanzel’s love interest. It provided him opportunities to make choices, and made it more difficult for him to do so. And above all, it was compelling. 

We could have gotten that with Kristoff. He may not be a prince, and frankly, we don’t want him to be. But to find out what happened to his parents, how he met Sven, why the two of them were left alone. That would have been awesome too. And it would have provided more opportunity to see Kristoff and Anna bond. 

And then finally we have Elsa. Her leaving Arendelle and becoming the fifth spirit was such a random and contradicting character arc. Where the first movie was about Anna bringing her back from living isolated in the North, the sequel was about Elsa leaving Anna to live isolated in the North. 

The point of Elsa’s character arc in the sequel was her discovering her worth, which is supposed to build off the development she made in the first movie, but really just discredits it. Because if you watch the first movie without seeing the sequel, that character arc already seems finished. By the end of the first film, she has learned the power of love and how to let people close to her. 

And those lessons seemed completely forgotten in the sequel, because most of the time, she is either ignoring Anna or directly pushing her away. All for the sake of following a voice she randomly started hearing one day. 

Oh, and the voice thing? I’m sorry, but that was stupid.

I love Aurora, her voice is always ethereal and beautiful, but the concept of the voice itself felt too random. Mainly because there wasn’t any explanation as to why Elsa started hearing it when she did. If it was Ahtohallan calling her to her purpose (I guess?), why didn’t she hear it sooner? Might have saved her a lot of grief in the first movie. Considering the voice served as her call to action, an important role in any story, it felt too random.

Elsa’s whole narrative in this movie just felt like lazy writing in general. It followed the same Avatar recipe of the four elements but with far less substance. 

Here’s the thing about the four elements recipe. It’s a quick fix when you don’t have a plot. It provides a goal for your characters and what they have to do to achieve it, without much brain power. 

Examples of the four elements recipe:

Avatar, obviously. But Avatar isn’t lazy writing. They took a simple premise, and made it something grand.

The Dragon Prince has six elements. The six primal sources of magic. Again, this writing isn’t lazy. In fact, they don’t even follow the recipe verbatim. There isn’t one main protagonist mastering everything. There are many different characters all being exposed to a little bit of the elements at a time.

Raya and the Last Dragon. The five kingdoms of Kumandria. It wouldn’t have been bad writing if they had more time to make this simple premise something interesting.

But if Frozen II had been a series instead of a movie and they still used this recipe, it would have been too similar to Avatar. But again, without the substance. Basically, Elsa becomes the Avatar, but with less work. She doesn’t master the elements per se, she just uses her powers to “tame” the spirits of the elements. In other words, she shot ice at them until they calmed down. 

They could have done something far more interesting with Elsa’s character. Something that would definitely take more time to execute properly, but it would have been so worth it. 

In the first movie it was implied that Elsa was simply born with her powers, and that’s just something that happens sometimes. That was an explanation I was totally cool with. It did not need further elaboration. Some people may disagree, but for me it was fine, because unlike Frozen II’s voice, the source of Elsa’s powers does not play an important narrative role. All that matters to the story is that she has powers. 

Then in Frozen II they decided they needed to elaborate, and gave the explanation that Elsa was gifted magic because her mother saved her father. Which is… fine I guess. Begs the question why Anna wasn’t also given powers, but okay.

But what if they hadn’t given that explanation, and we were left with the idea that, while rare, people can simply be born with powers sometimes? That means it could happen more than once!

I would have loved to see Elsa meeting other people with powers! Fire powers, gravity powers, electricity powers, all kinds of powers! And that would have been such a great way to complete her character arc. 

Can you imagine? Elsa opening up a school to teach little kids how to use their magic? Hell, that could have been why she eventually gives up the throne to Anna! That would have been a much better conclusion for Elsa. She spent most of her life feeling like she didn’t belong because of her powers, so she goes on to create a place where people like her can belong. I would have loved to see that!

And since she’s already meeting more people with powers, we could finally get that Frozen/Tangled crossover, instead of a brief cameo. Can you imagine a Frozen series that looks like this?

It would have been great. And it would have been great to see Elsa talking with her long lost cousin, Rapunzel, bonding over them both growing up isolated with some form of magic. 

Sometimes, deadlines and profit take priority over good storytelling. I don’t blame the writers for the fact that neither Raya nor Frozen II worked. I blame Disney, but not the people that work for it. I truly believe that in both cases the writers were trying to tell the best story possible with the limited time they were given. But if they had been offered the option to make these stories shows instead of movies, it would have resulted in something magical.

I read they are considering Florence Pugh for rapanzel.

Oh, so we're losing her to the live action Disney machine? I guess we should always expect the worse or just accept that people also want more money and more fame, which is fine. I guess...

#m thoughts #anon asks

[notsodailycake]

oh oh i JUST saw Spike & Beanie, ⚽️ & 🙊 for the both of them?

AAAH YES YES YES!! I've been wanting to talk about these two so badly, but i never knew what to talk about or where to start- (i usually only share oc info when i have a drawing/doodle of them accompanied ;w;)

Anyways, answers!!

Spike doesn't have alot of free time, if he isn't turfing, he's working at grizzco, if he isn't at grizzco then he's out training with his team, and if no he's home taking care of his little sister, with the help of his friend/roommate Mable (his sister the only blood family he has left, Mable is there bc of sum history between the two, she has always been helpfing him)

BUT when he does get free time, he likes to read book or write them, he also enjoys crafting little things like toys for his sister, just for fun. His favorite pastime is reading the stories he wrote to his little sister

Beanie on the other hand, she has quite a bit of free time, she's a free soul living with her childhood best friend Jay (genuinely they are friends lol, but i tend to put Jay on a threesoume with Beanie and Spike just for a joke lol). She can't stay still and do nothing, she has to be doing something, so she has alot of different hobbies, like singing, dressing up, shopping, etc. But her favorite one so far is drawing, she likes to go out and see what she can draw and turn it into something magical, she always carries a sketchbook with, sum similar to rapanzel's, to draw out her adventures

Spike's worst flaw would be his selflessness, he always puts others before himself and although that's admirable, it ca be draining. He had to be the one to step up when he lost his dad before his sister was even born, and while his mom was a mess he took care of her, even if his granny did step up to help, she was old still, after his mom died he had to take care of his sister along side his grandma until she died when he was around 16. That lack of self care, or constantly overworking himself yet saying he's fine so not to burden his family is what almost got him killed, of it wasn't for Mable saving him

Skipping a bit here but, after what happened, Mable had offered to help him, and she keeps him in check, like a big sister (she's 2 years older). Butbold habits die hard, and he struggles to communicate his issues with others and tends to put up a tough person, usually by accident (he doesn't actually really realise he looks a bit scary)

Now for Beanie, she runs from her problems.....alot. She is terrible at conformation and would rather punch her way out of a situation. In fact, bc of thag, when she had issues with her ex gf, she just kinda ran away (taking Jay with her, cuz they stick together no matter what), all bc she just couldn't confront her and the issues she had, she just kinda left a note at their apartment just saying "sorry, this isn't working out, goodbye" with no explanation, nor where she went off to.

Too bad for her bc that came back to bite her ass, bc her ex came in looking for her wanting to get the answers she deserves, there's actually a funny scene i have in mind about this i might write later, but i can just share it if u want

Jay had started to help her face her problems more tho, but her ex was sum she just, couldn't go back to

There's also the instance where she stopped talking to her parents scared of their disappointment, bc she left them as well to go to inkopolis with her team (her ex, her ex's bff and Jay), but Spike just slaps sum logic ontonher and forces her to call her parents, thanks to that she was ale to repair her relationship with her parents

#wow this one was long #you can tell I've been obsessed with these ocs #not even Viv has this much depth and i consider her one of my favs 💀 #cakes asks #splatoon #splatoon oc #oc ask game

[mentalmeles]

You want people to help and people online want to but it isn’t good enough for u because you only have excuses for why u cant. You don’t want help do you because if you did you try anything to not feel bad. u must like feeling bad and making excuses. Can’t help what won’t accept help u need to want to help yourself stop bringing people down who try to help u. can’t afford, bad therapy experience, online people aren’t real excuses excuses because nothing nobody do will be enough because u won’t try. Ask for help from real people then or do u have excuses for why u like to feel bad and don’t really want help…. So many excuses and no action. Nobody gonna rescue u prince/princess. U like rapanzel who cuts hair before prince charming is halfway up the tower climbing. Damsel in distress nobody is enough to help because she won’t help herself

…Yeah, you’re probably right.
