I expected the whole thing to be resolved before the end of the movie, of course, but it didn't really go deep into into it to make it that either. I know it's because Anna was made to be the protagonist in their eyes and things with Elsa essentially changed at the last minute when Let It Go was written. That one song/expression, changed her whole character, ultimately unbalancing the movie actually, because she's the interesting one with the conflict and the changes. Anna is pretty much the same character beginning to end. cute, spunky but the same. The potential for Elsa to be perceived as bad (if not outright bad at some point)is definitely there (it was most of the Disney script versions too). They just need to balance that, seemingly obvious, exploration, against how fans will react to having their beloved (and finally free) Elsa made a villain. Looks like they're not going there though, at least not outright. (Probably misunderstood, rather than actually evil.) I'm kind of worried it's going to be too safe actually - neither the full Elsa exploration or Snow Queen character exploration. I guess we'll see...Gypsy Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376146830985305127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524743884416328260.post-91554508163811616002014-05-13T08:20:57.639-07:002014-05-13T08:20:57.639-07:00That definitely has potential and the fandoms woul...That definitely has potential and the fandoms would go nuts, although it also has a big chance of backfiring too, the ways the writers mix up the characters' story lines and motivations. If I were JK I wouldn't be keen on them messing with my world - although perhaps in limited form, like allusions to it, owl mail, a mention of Dobby without seeing him, it might be OK. Then Warners would negotiate with them how much they could stretch things (like Disney already do with Horowitz & Kitsis). That would likely be the bigger problem though. This is ultimately a Disney property and Harry Potter is Warner Bros so chances are, as you said, unlikely. Still, have you seen the "if Disney did Harry Potter" fan arts? They're pretty intriguing so it's clear the potential - and audience - are definitely there. In the meantime we can speculate (and people can write fan fiction if they like...) ;) Maybe there will be interest in it after the new HP Magical Creatures film is done...Gypsy Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376146830985305127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524743884416328260.post-80263753273228915222014-05-13T07:03:55.264-07:002014-05-13T07:03:55.264-07:00Actually, to have made Elsa the villain in Diseny&...Actually, to have made Elsa the villain in Diseny's Frozen would have made sense (although I also understand why they chose not to go that direction). At one point as I was watching I found myself thinking the movie was maybe a backstory of how the Snow Queen became the Snow Queen-misunderstood powers and being banned from society will harden you. But ultimately I'm glad we got a message about familial love and the power of sacrifice and I'm sure the movie would have been way less popular with an evil ElsaKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097525403940409218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524743884416328260.post-88949293293484516432014-05-13T03:37:27.545-07:002014-05-13T03:37:27.545-07:00I know this sounds unlikely but I would like to se... I know this sounds unlikely but I would like to see OUAT feature some characters from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. (Or maybe some characters from "The Tales of Beedle the Bard). What do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904394883991936726noreply@blogger.com
