    MOANA, Disney's newest princess. A strong willed, independent woman, out on adventure. Or is she? There's a lot about Moana that doesn't quite add up. She controls the Sea. Visits the Land of Monsters. She isn't just some typical Polynesian adventurer, no. Moana is more than what she seems!

      Sena may have traveled to Maui's island and had a relationship with him, but couldn't get him out of exile because she wasn't the "chosen one", therefore leaving and meeting the chief on Moana's island. To explain the pig, he would be Moana's older brother and left with Sena during her departure.

      I was just about to comment this. I doubt the mom would have left because I think in the movie, they say they all have remained on the island for a long time and it was made a rule before Moana was born that people couldn't leave. So the mom being able to sneak away for the time it would take to fall in love with Maui and get pregnant and make it back to her home island would be too long of a disappearance and the islanders would winder where she went for all that time.

Remember, Tala is Tui's mother, and we just established that Tala is the goddess of the stars, so it's likely hereditary, but the twist is that Teui doesn't know it, or at least is trying to ignore it for as long as he's trying to protect Moana from the sea (see what I did there)😅

      Monkey Girl it's wrong Maui has been on an island for 1000 years, and moana is a teenager. I think that the gods chose moana through the ocean when she saved a baby turtle. She was just a baby, and had to chose between a pretty shell and saving a turtle. I know for a fact an average baby would usually pick up a turtle and try to keep it, and not try to help it get away from them. And is it possible if moanas grandma is a god then isn't moanas dad a god? Also who is the chicken

    I think this theory could work!! The evidence that Matt shared here is great, and I have noticed that both Maui and Moana share a few genetic traits as well. BUT -- I've recently rewatched the movie and I started thinking about this thepry as I was watching, up until the scene where it showed the stones on the mountain of Motunui, which represents all of the people who took on the role of cheif after Maui caused the oceans to become too ruthless to voyage- in multiple scenes you can see the several generations (I counted over 10 for sure) that were there after Maui took the heart- so either Moana, Pua and their mother are a thousand years old and don't look the part (which seems unlikely since nobody else acknowledges it) or Maui would have had to be on the Motunui Island and NOT stranded on his own island after he took the heart in order for this theory to make sense. The theory of Maui and Moana being related is literally one of my faves, but I think I accidentally debunked it just bc I rewatched Moana as a comfort film lmfao, anyone got any other ideas of how they could be related?

    • @sourcream990
      @sourcream990 Před rokem +2

      I also wanna add that it also makes sense for Moana and Maui to be related bc in the film you actively see her having a much closer, father/daughter-like relationship with Maui more than she does with Tui, her supposed father! It would make sense for Tui to be loving, yet distant with Moana in many ways throughout the film.

    The fact that Moana had already, unknowingly, become a Goddess by that point - but more likely since the moment the ocean chose her - is literally the only sensible explanation for her surviving that fall, the impact with the water, and what happened afterward!

    In Maori Culture, Maui is a trickster who one day hide in his brother's boat before they went fishing. When the brother's came and sailed to their fishing spot, Maui showed himself. The brothers got angry but let him fish. He caught a huge fish and it became the north island of New Zealand. The boat became The south island of New Zealand and Stewart Island (the island at the bottom of the south island) is The anchor of the boat.
