EW: Elsa and Anna's Small Screen Adventure (July 17, 2014)

Now, now, have we all forgot about Mulan?

Nope. But I gave my view on what they did with Mulan in length right after the aired it, and it hasn’t changed much. It was not well done. I happily will discuss it, but maybe better in the thread already started for that: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/mulans-sexualitylove-interest/page/2/

And RG said it here in short.

A&E made now clear, they’re not going to explore it with Elsa, so be it.

I just don’t trust these writers anymore being any serious about diversity. They had 66 episode, that is a lot of screentime and time for stories, but their thing is (by now) geeky plot and not human interesting stories.

Sometimes I wonder, if some curse befell the writers, or if A&E have evil twins who took over, because it seems so different what they did in season 01, and even still parts of season 02. The moment they started heading to Neverland the show went down the drain IMO.

But back to Elsa and Anna. It could be nice to have a positive example of sisterly love, because that is something we haven’t really seen on OUaT so far, have we. Well, if they could get over their plot!plot!plot! issue. The connection between Cinderella and Anastasia was mentioned but not really worked with, and only who has seen the to video movies knows, that there could have been an interesting story of step-sisterly love in. With Zelena and Regina we had the jealous and hateful version of sisters (at least on Zelena’s side). We had the twins, James and David, never met each other in life, but David walking a bit in James shoes, not much of a positive siblings story there either. There was Hansel and Gretel, but that was one episode.

This show is about family, okay, but mostly dysfunctional family. That brings plenty of drama, though they never go into the character moments, it’s eaten up by moving on plot. Meanwhile the fandom gets drowned in romance shipping wars, and the writers do much too deliver munition for it.

I would rather prefer for Mitchell not to be family related to anyone. I can imagine that her being the more or less original Snow Queen could be interesting, the Anderson Snow Queen herself is a somewhat ambiguous character. But seeing what they made of the Wicked Witch I have not much trust.

This interview by A&E mostly nourished my nightmares for the upcoming season. Right now only one reason is there for me to want to tune into the first episode regardless, and that is that I’m curious to see how Georgina Haig will do as Elsa (I liked her as Etta)

[The Swan Princess]

I’m saying she’s both- She’s the original snow queen and she passed her powers to her daugter through genetics. I’m so tired of everyone being related to each other but I actually like this theory because  the movie never explained how or why Elsa got her powers.

But I’m really dissapointed because they got Frozen wrong! The “act of true love” wasn’t Elsa’s kiss it was Anna sacrificing her life for Elsa.

You know what I can't continue with the dead people brought back to life list I'm out of space in the signature and now we have an underworld arc this is to much I quit why do you bring so many people back to life OUAT WHHHYYYY

I still wanted her to be evil Mrs. Claus :/

I’m really really mad at them ruling out a love interest for Elsa. She was the perfect character to introduce as a lesbian. I’m just so mad at them using a character that many cling to in that manner and just say lol nope.

It’s so cowardly. I think asexual Elsa is a reasonable headcanon too but I doubt they’d make a point of it.

I don't cause commotions, I am one.

The heart of Frozen was the love between two sisters. That’s what set it apart from other Disney films because it didn’t focus on romantic love. Its understandable they want to bring that to OUAT, especially after they had half a season of Wicked Sisters going at eachothers throats.
