Also Ursula and Triton being the children of Poseidon is mentioned in the Broadway show. In the tv series I believe triton is the son of Neptune, but ya know, tomato, tomahto.
Yep. It’s mentioned in the Broadway show for sure. And yeah, Neptune is just the Roman name for Poseidon. They’re the same deity, different names.
I should mention that the idea of Ursula and Triton being siblings was originally thought of for the original Disney movie, too. There’s a deleted part of the opening song “Fathoms Bellow” on the DVD that mentions it. They just decided to re-explore the idea for the Broadway musical.
In the Broadway show, Ariel’s family is a big interracial rainbow. Her father is black, Ursula (her aunt) was white but also had a black understudy. She had two black sisters, as well as an Asian, Hispanics, etc and if you look closely none of them even have the same hair color or tail design. So it has been done before. For all we know, Triton and Athena (Ariels mother) could be white/hispanic and so could Poseidon’s wife/Ursula’s mother.
Pretty much this. As I said, since this is a Fairy Tale world, I think I can let this slide, even if we’d argue about the genetics involved in real life. Especially when these aren’t even humans, but merfolk. Either way, it’s adding much needed diversity on this show.
Yup basically that. I think she’s a shapeshifter
So she’s an Animagus like Sirius Black from Harry Potter. Yeah, I think I’ll go with that term.
I think, like many, Cruella has the power to shapeshift into a dalmatian. I’ll take it one step further by theorizing that not only can she shapeshift into a dalmatian, but she can shapeshift into whatever animal’s fur she happens to be wearing.
I hope Poseidon and Triton aren’t brothers (or father and son) in the show, because a) why would Ariel have been so clueless about Ursula if she was family and 2) if they want me to believe that Joanna Garcia Swisher is biologically related to Merrin Dungey and Ernie Hudson, I won’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Was this the casting call for the King with the hard won crown, or are we still thinking that was Aurora’s father? I’d rather the Poseidon situation be that he wrestled the Sea King crown away from Triton, instead of them being related.
Poseidon and Triton are traditionally father and son in Greek mythology, so I have my doubts they’ll do away with that. If Ursula and Ariel really are family members, it could be a situation where Ursula is disowned by their family and never mentioned around the family again. Wouldn’t be the first situation where someone tried to hide a relative from history. We just saw that with Ingrid. In the Broadway show, Ursula actually was exiled from the kingdom. Also, being this is FTL, they might be willing to look past common genetic logic, in regards to Joanna being Latina, while Ursula and Poseidon are African American. Not to mention, Poseidon’s wife could still be white. I mean, I recall a few people theorizing about Tamara being Robin Hood and Marian’s daughter back in late Season 2, despite Robin being white. Though, for all we know, Ariel might not be related to Poseidon and/or Triton at all in this version.
The King casting call was specifically for 415, which Poseidon is slated for, so definitely seems to be him.
