Humbled. Yeah, he should be. (‘Cause for the record, even if I am willing to tentatively subscribe to the cracktheory that it’s all a grand plan… that doesn’t mean it’s not an error!) BTW we finally watched the show last night, and this line jumped out at me, Anna to the Snow Queen – “They went to him looking for a way to strip Elsa of the thing that makes her special.” It’s portrayed as a terrible, sad thing – Anna can’t bear to tell Elsa that it’s true that someone would want to strip her of her magic. It certainly made me think of this – “…the next time your lips touch Emma Swan’s, all of her magic will be taken. Everything that makes her special, that makes her powerful, that makes her a threat will be gone.” If it weren’t for the other anti-CS threads they’ve woven into the Frozen story *cough*Hans*cough, I’d think it was reaching, but it’s what I instantly thought of when Anna said it. Just me?
Not just you. I caught that too. I just wish I could believe it was deliberate. The fact that ONCE tells the same story over and over makes me believe that they aren’t aware of these dialogue and thematic connections.
