Maui - Blog Posts
This Is Personally My Opinion, But...
WARNING : Moana 2 Spoilers ahead
Who agrees that Moana is starting to become a LOT like Percy jackson?
First quest, removes the negativity from a bad god and makes them good(ish) Te Ka -> Te Fiti Ares / Hades -> Knocks down Ares' ego by a decent bit / Removes Hades from suspicion
And by the time the first movie is over, Moana's 'got all the gods talking', in Matangi's words. Percy Jackson did pretty much the same.
Zeus, the King of the Gods, god of skies and thunder, hates Percy. Nalo, the god of storms and lightning, hates Moana. See any similarities?
Artemis, a fierce huntress and daughter of Zeus, dislikes Zeus' ways, takes a liking to Percy. Matangi, a powerful bat demigoddess who's a subordinate of Nalo, wishes to overthrow Nalo, takes a liking to Moana. Tamatoa, a crab who talks with the gods themselves, was humiliated and hates Moana. ...everyone knows Percy's humiliated more than enough minor gods and is on the top of every monster's bucket list of 'Demigods I Wish To Devour'.
Percy has a bestie named Frank Zhang, a big strong guy who can turn into animals. Moana has Maui, who needs no description.
Percy has Leo, a crazy tinkerer who's the best mechanic to be found and fights with a hammer. Moana has Loto, who's just the same.
And thus, I rest my case that Moana is 100% a daughter or descendant of Poseidon, and that she and Percy should be siblings with a knack for gathering the undivided hate of all the gods. (I would die to see that AU made canon)
And, as a final point?
They both have adorable little sisters.
If They Ever Made a Moana Short:
I would like it to be about Maui and Moana saving the world from the vengeful goddess of death and we find out that she’s actually Maui’s ex-girlfriend, Rohe. Moana becomes angry with Maui for being the one who indirectly created death just because his ex-girlfriend called his original face ugly and didn’t tell her until the last minute.
