Before we begin, check out my post on Frozen II on my other blog, Before I Go See It.
Now, on with the show.
While this film answered some questions, it raised some more. Where did Elsa really get her powers? What did she really conquer? How do Arendelle's coronation rules work? And who does Elsa's eye makeup? They deserve a raise.
So the queen was apparently a resident of the Enchanted Forest, and when the relationship of the forest and Arendelle went south, she saved the prince. Then they got married and had two daughters, one of which have powers. The queen doesn't have powers, does she? Was she supposed to be the bridge, but, because she left, the balance of nature shifted and trapped those in the forest? The prince was enchanted by the young queen. Did she like him back? Is that why she saved him? Or did she just thought he was okay, and then grew to love him? I just want to know her motive in saving him besides restoring the relationship between the two nations. Also, the prince never figured that his wife was the one who saved him, and she was a member of the Enchanted Forest. Well, at least we know where they were going when their ship went down; they weren't going to attend Rapunzel's wedding.
When Elsa woke up the spirits of the Enchanted Forest, what did she do exactly? All she did, that I understand, was answer the Baby Shark call. I call it that because I can't get it out of my head, and it's worst with the Panic! at the Disco version. Then she mastered the elements with absolute ease. She pulled a Jean Grey in exploding the twister, broke the water horse, and sprinkled snow on the fire salamander. Anna really mastered the earth giants, proving the theory that she also part of this, as Elsa suggested. The film played with a theme of growing up and apart. Anna didn't want Elsa to leave. Elsa didn't either, but she really wanted to discover her powers on her own. Maybe what helped strengthened theoretically understanding of each was that Elsa called for Anna's help when she needed it. Without hesitation, Anna swooped in and helped restore the balance.
When the king and queen died at sea, they waited three years before Elsa was eligible to be crowned Queen of Arendelle. But when the king, as a young prince, returned from the Enchanted Forest, he was immediately crowned King of Arendelle. He had to be the same age Elsa was when Daddy Backstabber went over the cliff. Was it some sexist thing? Should the next heir to the throne be a woman, make her wait three years while the kingdom falls into turmoil. However, should the heir be a man, crown him immediately so the kingdom shall not fall. Yeah, that makes sense.
I was just being funny about Elsa's eye makeup, but seriously, who does it? She slept and was submerged in the deep sea three times, and her eyes shadow remained smudge free. That's some tough ass makeup.
A third film is inevitable, so I'm already speculating what it could entail. There was a rumor, back when a sequel was first announced, that Elsa would get a girlfriend. Is that still on the table? Is something going to happen between her and Honeymaren? I'm feeling Die Hard 3 vibes in which Hans could return to challenge Anna and Elsa with a set of powers he mustered. Would Anna have powers of her own or is she already powerful with her undying love for her mutant sister? The way they placed Anna behind Elsa, could she be the next main villain? Anna is doing the villain pose. Would Elsa lose her powers? Of course Kristoff and Anna are now getting married, so we now have to see their wedding.
It was a decent follow up. This franchise begrudgingly became special to my family because it was my little brother's first film in the theater, so it was great to take him to see the sequel.
I hope you liked this. Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment about what you thought or if you want to recommend a movie for me to review. Thank you for reading. I'll return next week with another movie. See you then.
