Each time I saw Moana it just always seemed so weird to me that Te Fiti, the very pure goddess who created the sprawling life across the world, would be able to change her outlook on that life and become the demon Te Ka over a tiny rock heart. I know it’s powerful and important but why would one big headed thief like Maui warrant a darkness that would continue to spread until everyone of us is devoured by the bloodthirsty jaws of inescapable death. I just had to know: why did Te Fiti become Te Ka?

Yay
Wotso Videos I always thought she turned into Te Ka because without her "heart" she wasn't compassionate, or loving. Therefore, creating her alter ego type being Te Ka, but what you described makes a lot more sense
Wotso Videos I kinda get why she turned into a little bit of a scary goddess I think I would’ve done the same but it wouldn’t have been so soon but I have no idea because it didn’t happen to me would u have done the same
I always thought Te Ka and Te Fiti were to sides of the same coin. One brought creation and the other brought destruction. I thought Te Fiti was the most dominant because of the heart since it held her compassion and desire to create. However, once it was removed the desire to create was overrun by the desire to destroy awakening her counter part (the other side of the coin) Te Ka.
Can you do a theory on Hiccup's mother, Valka.
Yes, I believe that Te Ka was created from Te Fiti rejecting her purpose, however, I don't think it was because she felt betrayed by her own creation of LIFE, but rather her creation of Maui himself. In the movie, Maui tells his story of how he became a demi-god, getting thrown into the ocean and the gods saving him and giving him his hook. Well, I think that Te Fiti was the one who did both of those things. The reason for this is that close to the end of the movie, we see Te Fiti give Maui a brand new hook after the first is destroyed, and seeing as how no other Hawaiian god is referenced in the movie, it was Te Fiti who gave him the first hook after saving him and making him a demi-god. However, this would bring up the question of "If Te Fiti was the one who saved Maui, then why would he try to steal her heart?" Well, I believe that he grew overconfident. In the song "You're Welcome", Maui gives a list of all his accomplishments since he became a demi-god. I think that as he gained more accomplishments helping mankind, he also grew overconfident, thinking that no matter what he did, he could get away with it if his motive was to help mankind. So, he let his overconfidence get the best of him, and tried to steal Te Fiti's heart to solidify his legacy of helping mankind. Feeling betrayed about what Maui did after literally saving his life and turning him into the demi-god that was so loved, that's what I believe turned her into Te Ka. But who knows for sure?
TheCharizardFlame wow...... I actually read the whole thing,im impressed with myself and your thyry
TheCharizardFlame that's an amazing idea. Bravo
Nope maui got his hook from the jawbone of his grandmother and the ocean a God itself looked after him when he was thrown in the ocean and had wrapped him in seaweed and washed him to a nearby shorebed where he was raised for a time
Also he was stillborn and his mother thought he would die so she gave maui to the ocean
I strongly think that's the answer how did u manage to think of that?😉
Te Fiti and Maui aren’t so different. Remember how Maui said, “Without my hook, I am nothing”? If Te Fiti considered her heart and life-giving powers to be everything that defined her, she may well have thought that she was nothing without it. Maybe it wasn’t just the heartbreak and anger at Maui’s thievery, but also the insecurity at having lost the thing she felt defined her, that caused her drastic change. After all, look at how Maui reacts when Te Ka damages his hook. He lashes out and runs away in anger. Te Fiti probably felt much the same.
The Fiti turning into Te Ka can very accurately represent a woman who has suffered trauma. Maui’s violence and theft of a sacred piece of her traumatized her, and she became a violent, angry monster herself, spreading death throughout the world. Maui thinks he is restoring Te Fiti’s heart when he is battling Te Ka, but all he is doing is causing her more pain, because he doesn’t see who she truly is. She is not able to heal until someone stops fighting her and shows her compassion and accepts her and loves her, lava monster and all. That was Moana’s purpose in Te Fiti’s story. Just like traumatized people cannot heal without compassion and support, and meeting them with more violence only makes things worse for them.
THIS
Ugh 🙄
This is exactly it
maui's hook and te fiti's heart are very similar in the symbolism to them. they both don't need the object to be themselves, but they kind of lose it when they don't have the object that makes them who they are in their minds.
Your comment reminds me of maui saying
"Without my hook I am nothing"
It makes more sense now \* 0 *
I think that Te Feti is like the good/positive side of Earth and Te Ka is the bad/negative side of Earth.
This theory is amazing btw.
lol
"They have stolen the heart from inside you, But this does not define you, This is not who you are,You know who you are"
Your theory is actually pretty close to this qoute. Moana had to remind tefifi if who she was and remind her that the thing she loves with all her being does not define tefifi. I'm bad with words sorry guys
Tamara Louise true but moana does put the heart back and tefifi returns when it's back in
I think Isaac should meet Moana herself and discuss this with her.
Mates, she's called Te Fiti
@@DerMessiasderSatire THANK YOU!
Der Messias der Satire They said sorry guys I'm bad with words do you really have to correct everyone's spelling and grammar. Think about it this way How many times have you wrote a book report and research paper and got spelling and grammar wrong at that ? How did it make you feel when your teacher gave you a bad grade? If you were homeschooled ask one pf your friends who went to a Public School or Private school on how they felt.
I believe that Te Fiti and Te Ka are like the concept of Yin and Yang. Each side representing one aspect of a whole but contain a piece of the other. This explains why Te Ka could be reasoned with by Moana, but as Te Fiti is shown to be initially displeased with Maui before he apologised for his actions. Together the two are a Goddess of Creation, they just represent different sides of this. Maui was someone that the Gods had taken in and had been gifted with becoming a demigod. It never explained who raised him in the movie but it is a fair assumption that Maui built relationships with many of the Gods, including Te Fiti. So when he stole Te Fiti’s small stone heart which had become a powerful symbol of her role which was essentially Mother Nature, he in turn broke her real heart. She allowed her arguably more destructive side Te Ka out in an attempt to punish Maui for this betrayal. Te Ka remained as the dominant side for many years fuelled by Te Fiti’s anger, until Moana was able to calm Te Ka down and asked her to remember what her true role was. Te Ka has the ability to create new islands this is true, but over the years her influence was slowly killing the life giving vegetation on islands that Te Fiti had created so long ago. This was why the Ocean searched for the one who could both return the heart and calm the Goddess, but also get Maui to admit his hubris and apologise. So when Te Fiti’s stone heart was restored the balance of creation returned to the way it should be and with Maui’s apology Te Fiti’s true heart could finally mend too.
Yea, but I love the explanation. It really puts it all into context.
That is so long!
I loved reading this very explanatory😃
The movie, is a new zealender/ kiwi movie so it won't be, a Ying yang.
•Artistic Llama• I used the concept of Yin and Yang because that is something most people will understand. In many mythologies deities that have a dual aspect based on their dominions.
The heart of Te Fiti looks like the Time Stone
Zema *plot twist*
It is
Zema it does
LOL
Yeah i never saw that
Te Ka, I’ve come to bargain!
This is why I love theorists; they add much more depth/ explanation to films we love. Moana s such a deep film, with so much culture and themes.
But some theorists can go a little too far with their theories, to the point were they go mad and believe it to be true, ie MattPat and his stupid theory that Mario is a Sociopath. Also, not all theorists do research correctly which can often make their theories far fetched and flawed regardless.
@@ulfberht4431 I would like to disagree with you I believe mattpat or the game theory is a great channel the amount of efforts and time they put into researching every single topic to make sure that they haven’t left any loopholes is commendable. And about mario being a sociopath I agree that was a bit of a stretch but he just says it as a reoccurring joke which is not to be taken seriously. I mean he even says “and remember this was just a theory a GAME THEORY”

I think Te Fiti became to Te Ka because she was aware that she couldn't do her duty as goddess without her heart sending her into a panic turning her into to Te ka a monster who desperately wanted the heart
Yes exaaaaactly #cultured
the transformation from te fiti to te ka is very similar to maleficent's transformation from guardian of the moors into warrior of the moors. both were violated (by an arrogant man) and need a good-hearted girl to remind them of who they are 💚
I love how Te Fiti also went through an identity character arc.
Wait maoi says that gods raized him what if te fitu was the one who did it and the reason she truns into te ka cause of the betray her adopted son gave her just to impress the humans so she seeks revenge for them because they turn her child aganst her
giorgos thoma What a Twist :o
my mind....is blown
*MAUI*
Maui, you're grounded
I always thought, that Te Ka was just angry Te Fiti, and she was destroying lands to find the heart, not for the destruction it's self. She was furious and wasn't controlling her self very well, and how we could see, angry goddess is natural disaster.
Moana pretty much told Te Fiti to snap out of it and look around to see what her anger turned her into and what exactly she was doing. Because The Fiti wasn't bad at heart, she calmed down and the rest is history.
This makes the song at the end mean so much more! Even Te Fiti didn't know who she was anymore but Moana realized the truth and helped her rediscover her love and compassion like she discovered who she was and helped Maui find his true self. "This is not who you are. You know who you are." ❤
I think the reason why Moana and Te Fiti look nearly identical is because the Goddess Te Fiti is a reflection of Moana, herself. When Te Fiti lost her heart, she transformed into a volcano goddess, Te Ka. She had literally lost her identity when Maui stole her heart - the thing that was most precious to her - and her anger and pain were reflected in the fiery goddess, Te Ka. It is only after Moana learns the truth and restores the heart of the Mother Goddess that she is able to transform back into her true form and find peace. Moana, as well, is also searching for her true identity. She is torn between two paths....the one that her father wants for her, which is to take her place as the next leader of her people and place her stone on the mountain.....and the one that yearns to heed the call of the sea....to explore the vast ocean as her ancestors did before her. It is only when Moana is visited by Grandma Tala in her spirit form that she realizes who she truly is.....and she is able to finish her quest to heal the sea and save her people.
What made Maui decide to come back and help Moana when she faced ta ka again? That’s something I’ve always wondered
Shame, regret and the need to truly be the hero of man kind again. Besides, he spend time with that girl taking his spotlight and warmed up to her, a mere human. And here is Maui, a demi god not only seeing some one lesser then him being a greater hero than him that just so happened to probably be his closest friend? Maui couldn't possibly stand idly by any longer. That is why I like Moana, she is an insignificant human who despite he simply fragility, takes matter into her own hands knowing the slightest mistake can end her life. She has guts.
Because he owe her..she risked her life for him..and he owe her..PLUS he should he stole it he return it
i fell like Te Fiti and Te Ka took inspiration from fantasia 2000 The Firebird Suite. Te Fiti take inspiration from the Spring Sprite and Te Ka takes inspiration from The Firebird.
Robomerc
The animation of the Firebird Suite is a description of Mt St Helen’s eruption. The mountain (firebird) is only shown as destructive with Nature (the sprite) being shown as a completely separate entity. Don’t get me wrong, it’s my favorite Fantasia short. But it’s very Western in thought.
Te Ka and Te Fiti are instead based on Pele, as Isaac already mentioned. Volcanoes grow with each eruption and volcanic soil is some of the most fertile, but the lava’s the least of your problems when a volcano errupts (ash, toxic gas, etc)
There’s also how the Earth’s molten core (and seismic activity like earthquakes and volcanoes) is literally a sign of good planetary health, as it maintains things like gravity and the magnetic field. Lose that and we’d get hit by a lot more space radiation and lose our atmosphere and liquid water. But too much and the planet is basically too chaotic for anything to survive...if not outright a giant fire planet (think Io) and at risk of blowing or ripping apart.
And this understanding is reflected with Pele (who inspired Te Fiti and Te Ka especially) as...living with turbulent volcanic islands kinda shaped polynesian cultures
Maui literally stole a significant piece of her soul, and did so because of the demands of humanity.
Volcanic soil is some of the most fertile, but it’s also created by, you know, volcanoes. Which also spew toxic gasses and ash that poison water and soil.
Basically, Maui set off a chain of volcanic erruptions.
When Moana touches Te Ka, she cools enough that Moana is not burned...but she doesn’t actually revert back into Te Fiti until her soul is returned to her...in which case she goes back to sleep.
In other words, Moana returning the Heart put an end to the erruptions and allowed the volcanoes to become dormant again. So, no. I don’t think Te Ka really had much control, and she’s not at fault for Humanity&Maui so intimately harming her
This would also explain the sudden lack of fish and rough seas-volcanic activity has been known to cause tsunamis and other severe weather, and it could also superheat the ocean currents.
Volcanoes are dangerous, but they also form islands. It’s literally a duality.
In Polynesian mythology the earth goddess was named Papa and the consort of Wakea the sky father
Here are some ideas for your next video wotso video:
1. What was Andy studying at uni in toy story?
2. Why did his parent's cut him off from the princess of the frog?
3. The original of judge doom and DIP from who framed Roger rabbit.
phantom115cw I like the 3rd one the best!
I don’t understand the 2nd one at all.
@@mr_majikku7050 princess Naveen from princess and the frog, his parent's cut him off why?
The ingredients in DIP are all chemical for erasing paints and stains... that's why it can kill a toon, because they are walking talking art
@phantom115cw didn’t see this until now but I guess I understand.
I think the fact that it was Maoi (I know I probably butchered that spelling) Plays a big part in why she was so hurt. Remember, it was the gods that saved, and most likely raised, Maoi. Te Fiti probably viewed him as family. So when it was this "Child" she had helped raised that stole her heart, she probably felt betrayed and hurt.
I think perhaps that is why Moana was chosen. Only a purity and beauty like hers could speak to the purity and beauty still inside Te Ka/Te Fiti.
te fiti turning because of rejecting her purpose sounds a lot like the curse of the dutchman from potc
1st This has been a question ever since I saw the movie.
Anyone see Te Fiti and Te Ka in the background.
Issac is such a cutie! I never questioned this before lol but I'm very interested.
oof
Te Fiti can form islands and life, but Te Ka can only form islands.
Without the heart to sustain it, the life vanishes.
This makes sense! Maybe since she lost her heart, she couldn't feel compassion that she had before. Therefore lost her purpose and just wanted to destroy until her heart was returned
I honestly used to think that the heart was what caused all the trees and grass to grow all over Te Fiti and that Te Ka was just what she looked like without the heart to keep it all growing, the reason why she attacked Maui and Moana was because she was mad at Maui and mankind for his stealing her heart and it was just her angrily lashing out at them
being from Hawaiʻi, Te Ka and Te Fiti made a lot of sense to me because of where I grew up and the stories I was told. I figured because Te Ka was similar to Pele and Te Fiti was similar to either/both Papahānaumoku (earth mother) and Hiʻiakaikapoliopele (Peleʻs younger sister). Because Pele was the creator of new land, her fire and lava would scorch everything and the land would look seemingly barren and scarred, in need of healing, so Hiʻiaka was believed to be that healing, having been associated with the fresh plants that grow from the volcanic stone. from the cracks in the lava, ʻOhiʻa Lehua trees and ferns would sprout from the fertile volcanic soil and stone. this was often believed to be Hiʻiaka. the reason I say that Te Fiti is similar to Papa is because she is the earth, her name literally translating to "surface/firmament that births land"
just thought id share
@Kupa’a I agree with you there
If I were Mother Goddess of Earth and one of my own children - that I was happy to create and provide for - took something I needed for their own personal gain, I would probably act out of heartbreak and anger. I'm also reminded of the "Whoever giveth can also taketh away" message.
Your enthusiasm for Disney magic is always a joy for a nineties kid like me to witness. Thank you for all these years of hard work!
Maui said he felt - humans demanded more in no matter what he gave it was never enough, which led him to take the heart. as there is a scene where Moana asks why he stole the heart. he explains being cheered on by greater deeds, and the more he he gave the people.
taka seems to be more of a pissed of mother prisoner which came from fiti trying to get back the thing that helps her to sustain the life that she created
Your videos are always so entertaining to me I can't get enough ❤
I do believe that Te Fiti transforms into Te Ka because she rejects her purpose after Maui steals her heart. But, there’s something I don’t understand about the film. When Maui attempts to escape Te Ka, his magical fish hook sinks into the depths of the sea. How does Tamatoa obtain his hook?
I like your take on it this. I always thought since you cannot live without your heart Te Ka was now the goddess without a heart. She is angry and upset because the most precious thing a any living thing has is our heart. I believe that she, Te Fiti was more so crying while asleep and angry when woken up. But with her heart she can love and create again.
That makes a lot of sense, in the beginning of Moana's adventure, it was extremely important that Maui needed to be the one that returned the heart. Maybe so it could restore the trust/love she lost along with her heart?
I just always thought that the only thing keeping te ka from killing her was just being in proximity to her heart
6:08 Lol
i thought the same
@IDK POTATOES What happened at 6:08????

Answer: most definitely, that's pretty much what happen to Tefiti when she became Teka.
It's a way to illustrate that pain, in this case the pain of loss and betrayal, can change us all.
In the End Moana reminds her that she is so much more than that pain. And that it is up to Te Fiti to decide Who She is.
I absolutely love watso videos. Thank you so much for doing this and bringing so much background and understanding to the Disney universe. NEVER STOP doing this! Me and my two girls LOVE you!
I wouldn't say she rejected who she was, so much as she revealed the side of her most often subdued by her compassionate nature. Te Ka is what psychology and those who use magick (like some witches) would call Te Fiti's "shadow." It's still her, but a darker aspect of her overall personality, and like many mythologies, such as Greek, we often think of the Earth/Nature Goddess as being solely the goddess of life, of new growth and such, but as true Earth/Nature Goddesses, they embody earth and nature, completely. And nature isn't always nice and pleasant. Earth isn't just sunshine and rainbows and deers munching on the fresh leaves she brings, it is also the thunder and lightning, very very frightening me sorta stuff. Like literally, lightning, hail, thunder, droughts, earthquakes, harsh winters, dying plants in fall. It is something to be adored, but also feared and respected.
I think that is why Te Ka is created. Te Fiti is just hurt and wants everyone else to know that so she in turn is rejecting her purpose. Loved the video! So happy that this question got answered!!
I think Te Fiti's worst qualities were brought out by the stolen heart, creating Te Ka.
So true as the heart in and of itself had no power it was a symbolic representation of her love. Stealing it from her tefiti must have read it as your love means nothing and we will now do your job. Tefiti had no way of knowing why Maudi stole it
How did Long John Silver become a cyborg?
Connor Plisga doesn’t Silver explain it in the movie when Jim asks what happened to him, after they’re done tying up the long board?
I think he says something about trying a few times chasing a dream.
Trooper Wolfette Yeah but, what dream? And did become a cyborg by accident or on purpose?
I'm not entirely sure what to think of Te Fiti and Te Ka. As a Primordial deity, she is a force of nature as well as an intelligent, sentient being. So I guess what I've wondered is, how much of her is nature and nurture?
As a force of nature, we see what is seemingly the opposite of creation and life in Te Fiti, which is destruction and death in Te Ka. But the part about lava and volcanoes being a source of creation as well, that is a very good point, like the story of Pele.
As a sentient being, aka nurture, she indeed has strong emotions, which are reflected in her overall nature, as in her emotional nature and her nature as a goddess. I think it's also a good point that she felt betrayed by one of her own creations, and did turn her back on her purpose because she didn't want to be hurt again. Having such a precious part of one's identity can really transform a person, for better or worse, and in Te Fiti's case, it was literally transforming into something worse.
It's kind of a perfect blend/balance of nature and nurture, not only showing the fiercest of nature, but also a very relatable story of what happens to someone who is really hurt, and in that person's hurt, can lose sight of who one is, and what one's purpose is.
Make a video "Who is Phineas and Candace's father" I always wondered that about Phineas & Ferb
Who is Aladars father?
Niko 2064 yasssss that would be awesome to no.
I thought of an idea for you. You theorized on who Jack Skellington was before he died, why not try to figure out who Oogie Boogie was as well?
Volcanism is one of the most important elements of life. Mars shows us what happens when plate tectonics stop. I believe Te Fiti is the dormant form of Te Ka, and Te Ka can re-emerge at any time. I believe that Te Ka is the actual creation goddess, while her aspect of Te Fiti simply adds life to the land Te Ka created.
The tattoo on Maui’s back of his mom throwing him in the water. The mom kinda looks like Tekah. 👀 the “hair” is smoke and the mom looks like she is wearing a dress which is how Tekah is also show with her smoke dress covering her heart. Just a thought
Te Ka letting demons spawn all over the world because of Maui’s actions is the God version of punishing the class for two people talking
On Disney Channel there's a new movie called Freaky Friday which is a remake of Freaky Friday 2003, and in the movie a mother and daughter switch bodies, but the switch is caused by a magical Hour Glass, but what makes the hour Glass magic was never explained. Can you explain?
i loved how Issac gets so into it when he sadi TE KA! at the ending you can see his passion for these vids in that brife moment i think
The Nightmare Before Christmas
I think Te Ka is Te Fiti just more violent and vengeful because her heart is stolen and the islands are dying.
Another reason she might have been enraged was because maui was given a second chance by the gods and he used it to steal the heart.
So what if though Tefiti didn’t reject her purposes when the heart was stolen would she still be able to make life and still be Tefiti without loosing her identity?
So it's like milk chocolate and unsweetened chocolate. Milk has cacao, sugar and other stuff making it pleasant for many occasions but unsweetened has not as much sugaris . Both can be eaten though but one not very tasty. I dunno just how I took it lol! Btw have you seen bh6 the series? If so can you talk about it? Thanks and have yourself a magical day!
I think te ka is te fiti’s original form which created land but the rest of the deities thought that te ka could destroy everything so they created a stone (te fiti’s heart) to to tame it (te ka) and turn it into te fiti’s to crate life and when Maui removed the heart it made te ka untamed and unleashed her from inside te fiti
I think tefiti became teka because she wanted her heart back so she felt like she need to transform into something else like a fiery demon. She also created that deadly disease for revenge for moui stealing her heart in the first place
Could you do a video on who Adira is from Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure?
I got a good one my neighbor Totoro and princess mononoke, these 2 movies are connected in a lot of ways, one is at the end of princess mononoke spirit that walked out the tree, I think it Totoro before he became a forest God, and 2 they both said this same line "back when the trees and humans used to be friends''
Moana is the only Disney movie where a heartless makes an appearance.
Te Ka is the Big Island of Hawaii, with smoldering running lava taking everything away that's in her path. Te Fiti is Kauai, which is millions of years older than the Big Island and therefore is covered with greenery and flowers.
I can already see you and matpat debating on theories
Could you do a theory about who is Maui’s parents? Thanks!
I think Te Fiti is actually Gaea from Greek mythology. I remember that Hades was mistaken for an Aztec death god by izma in a story once. So maybe the Greek gods have different names in different civilizations
Te Fiti is Te Ka, the hell. Te Fiti is Mother Nature. Te Ka is Te Fiti’s wrath
Does anyone else remember the Spring Sprite from Fantasia 2000? How she's horrified by the destruction but comes to accept it as also coming from the very nature she is part of?
I love your Moana figures in the back! They are so cute! 😍
I like the theory that Taka was extra pissed off because she was the one who raised Maui
What a coincidence, I am beginning to watch this 2 months after this video is posted.
te ka and te fiti are honestly the coolest characters in moana
Little theory: the heart of te fiti is actually the opal stone of the combined powers of the sundrop and moonstone, te fiti was the true form of the sundrop being able to create life itself like the sun and when removed, started killing everything dispite not being connected to te fiti but it basicaly was since instead of going to the far depths of space, it did a loop around the planet and returned to the sea where it acumulated algae before the ocean spirit took it to moana hence the sundrop flower reference near the end when everything was being revived, also the moonstone was shown to be able to use its power without being connected to anything since it like the sundrop is described as an entety in its own right
So when the opal stone initially fell from the heavens as a star it created its own body later named te fiti but something happened, a warlock attempted to fight it for its power hence the stone decided to ditch the body for then and split hopping to be reunited again while the warlock teamed up with a scientist from a distant land to look for the two supposed opal stones capable of either destroying/killing everything or healing/creating anything(though not shown in the series since it was was more of the firery burn based power but) when they were reunited having destroyed the warlock, they went back to be te fiti again...until a certain demigod decided to be more clever than the warlock in taking the heart, reminding them of there past trauma and thus teka
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH I HAVE BEEN WONDERING THAT FOR SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG
My theory is that the reason to feiti turned into ta ka is that when a part of you is taken and violated like her heart being stolen you grieve and long to have that piece of yourself back and it turns into a downward spiral that you can’t get out of on your own and then In comes moana who starts to understand ta ka and she reminds her that that piece she is missing dose not define her but how she chooses to deal with that trauma and that’s when ta feiti’ soul comes through more clearly in my opinion
My belief is simply that without her heart she was heartless, turning her evil.
I believe that Te Fiti and Te Ka are the same deity. I mean lava creates islands and after she created islands, she brought life (flora and fauna) onto the islands she created. Chances are she had the ability to manipulate land and life.
She’s also a very kind and benevolent deity. I theorize that when the Ocean saved Maui, she likely became his adoptive mother. She along side a team of other Polynesian gods raised Maui. When Maui heard about his origin story, he sought Human praise. He didn’t want to be forgotten by his own kind.
One day, Maui decided to steal the heart of Te Fiti. So he did, but the act of turning against his adoptive mother angered her. Te Fiti/Te Ka became the Lava Demon because her body which was supposed to be green decayed, she awoke to see the abrupt betrayal of the baby boy she rescued which made her very angry. Without her heart as well as the betrayal, she became an angry demon, the very thing that sought her heart and rightfully so as it was hers.
Makes sense why the ka is an internal struggle.
To me finding out that Ti Fiti and Te ka are one in the same seem to remind me of dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde
I just noticed that Tala states that 'boats stopped coming back' in the opening of the movie, but later claims that Moana never heard stories about when they were voyagers. Is it a plot hole, a mistake in the script that no one noticed or a clue to everyone that they used to be voyagers.
Te fiti is lost her love when Maui stole her heart
I know you don’t really do t.v. shows, but can you do videos of Kim Possible? Like on how Kim fell in love (or when she started to) with Ron?
When its cold ,we shiver so that the friction generates heat to maintain the body temperature but during hot days ,we sweat to cool down our body temperature.its very important that we maintain our body temperature at 37 degree Celsius.
Loving the recent uploads so much ❤
Your Disney Film theories are the best! I love hearing your take on these movies!
Personally I think it's the removal of the stones magic. It's called the "heart" of Tafiti. And when he removes it we see the magic dissipates. I'm getting at the idea that the darkness was because the heart wasnt maintaining the life. As for ta ka I think his exists as a function of ta fiti. "Must retrieve heart" "must save the world"
The stone probably just gave the abillty to create life
😱 Great vid Isaac! ;)
Show me all point out the fact that all the little boys in that tribe listening to Granny's story we're terrified and scared while little Moana listen to the story in wonder
The golden word now is "sustainable development".
😱 cool video! You should make a video about descendants 3 and your hopes and theories about it. Haven't seen a descendants vid in a while BTW.❤😊
I have a theory. What if Te Fiti and Te Ka are the same but when Maui stole the heart maybe it was a NATURE HEART ( the heart is like the color of nature ) maybe when Te Fiti she lost her nature heart she would switch into Te Ka the FIRE goddess she has a red heart ( like the color of fire ), but we didn’t see the fire heart in the movie, so when the nature heart was restored she switched back into Te Fiti. This is just a theory, so I don’t know if this is true.
You know how there is a thin line between love and hate? Both extreme emotions equally strong like two sides of the same coin? Thats what te fiti and teka are. And the stone is that thin line!
This has such god and easy to follow structure. I actually used this as an example of what to do
