‘’Glorhaven?’’ Is that right? And where is that? EF? Where was the tavern?
That was a Little Mermaid reference. In the film, Eric tells his servant Grimsby “You’re not still sore because I didn’t fall for the princess of Glowerhaven?”
-The sea god Poseidon needs Ariel to cross worlds? I don’t find this believable. He must be a very weak god!
I don’t think Poseidon needed Ariel to travel between realms. Ariel simply went to look for him after Hook requested her to. Pretty sure Poseidon can still travel between realms on his own.
-Thanks for clearing that up about the name. I didn’t grow up watching the Disney films, so I can only use general knowledge and the original tales for reference.
-It was Poseidon who said that Ariel brought him to the portal. 34 minutes in:
”a young mermaid found me and brought me to a portal”
Once Ariel tells him of Ursula’s wherabouts, he should have been able to create his own portal from where he was standing when Ariel approached him. Instead, he had to be brought to one, which indicates that he could not create his own portal between where he was and SB.
Actually, now I think about it, he was definitely written as a weak god:
1) because he can’t create portals between where he was standing when Ariel approached him and SB
2) He could not take shell out of Hook’s hand by magic
3) Ursula having tentacles made her more powerful than him.
Even if it wasn’t A and E’s intention to make him look weak, this kind of writing to ensure that the plot moves forward does indeed not make him look like the all-powerful deity that he should be.
And after thinking about it further, I think I will change the score for this one from 8/10 to 7/10.
