TVLine June 7: More Frozen Characters

[Gaultheria]

I just finished watching Frozen. Olaf is totally Will.

It’s kind of lame IMO because it’s like “Well you both have ice powers and sister issues sooooo!”

If that were the sum of it, I agree, it would be pretty lame. What makes the pair interesting for me is that, though they do fulfill similar roles in their respective stories, they go about it in such different ways that they’re almost guaranteed to be a bit at odds, despite all the parallels. The exactly-alike-yet-conviced-they’re-exact-opposites dynamic is something that intrigues me about the world in general so, I wouldn’t mind at all if they touched on that a bit. But, as far as pairing Elsa off with anyone romantically, I feel like to do so would take her from being that queen of isolation that people are identifying with to, well, just another queen. I hate to say it, cause I want her to have her happy ending as much as anyone but, I’d also like for someone to suggest a solution to life’s problems that’s less dismissive than “you need to get laid”. If any of the over-prescribed “conformance” solutions had actually been viable, there’d be no need for all the isolation in the first place. I think, as fellow fans of the film, they’ll do the character justice, whatever they opt to do with the story. If there’s sassy Jelsa banter involved, all the more entertaining for me.

I also wonder if the race issue doesn’t have something to do with acquiring permission to portray those characters. I was watching TPATF the other day and got to recalling just how much the details of that film were vetted before it ever got released to the public. Maybe the Disney powers-that-be aren’t as comfortable letting A&E experiment with their ethnic heroes? That would be a shame; I’d like to see more significant non-white characters surviving on this show.

This sums up my experience with most shows that I watch. Idk why having more ethnically diverse characters is such a hard thing to do. And then when we do get them they are always insignificant to the plot, unlikeably evil, and then they die off. But in other news, does anyone know when they MIGHT Announce who is playing Elsa and Anna? Would it be at comic con? Ir maybe after they go back to writing?

Probably at San Diego Comic Con. If not there, then…it has to be there since filming also begins in July as well.

I wonder if the actresses will actually be there. Remember they announced Jafar would appear in Wonderland at Comic Con and then brought out Naveen Andrews to join the panel. Thatd be kinda cool

If they do that, chances are it’s an actress the audience will recognize/know on site and possibly someone A and E have worked with previously.

Perhaps the sneak peek at comic-con will reveal who is playing Elsa, Anna and Kristoff.

All magic comes with a price!
