[hookedwayfinder]

Just a reminder that this blog has been around since Moana came out and we got all the Hooked Wayfinder stuff you could want from the olden days - give us a follow or check out the blog if your love for the ship is rekindled with the new movie coming out!

[cartoonjessie]

I saw Moana 2!!!

Let's have a spoiler-ish-free little newsbit for the fans of the Hooked Wayfinder ship... I say spoiler-ish-free because if you wanna go in blind, don't read what's behind the cut ok? What I will reveal: - when Maui and Moana reunite throughout the movie - whether the ship has sunk or not (ok that's a big spoiler I guess?)

Ok so it takes a while for Maui and Moana to reunite in the movie - it's only in the second half! (cry) BUT for shippers there's some great lines in the first part of the movie too. Does Hooked Wayfinder sink? NO! Not at all. If anything, it soars. It's not canon or anything by the end of the movie, but our shipper dreams are not getting crushed during this movie, if anything there's 5 billion more plot bunnies planted in your brains. Enjoy the movie if you have yet to see it! For those that don't ship Hooked Wayfinder and are here to be like "They're just besties!" - yeah, canonically they are, but that does not give you agency over a shipper's brain so, cheehoo and toodeloo you can find your way out! (And yes the absence of Lin Manuel Miranda is missed but Can I get a Cheehoo and the song Beyond are still bangers.)

Moana 2 - Spoiler-review part 2

Part 2 of my spoiler review gets even more spoilery! Part 1 is here so you can keep up

However, I was game for the adventures and shenanigans anyways - I'm quite easy to please in that regard. I enjoyed myself during this movie and I loved seeing Moana and Maui reunite, but it happened SO LATE in the movie. (second half) How it happened though, I thought was quite beautiful. He sees the crew (doesn't ring a bell), Pua (doesn't ring a bell), then suddenly Heihei and only THEN does he realize Moana is there, in danger, and his entire demeanor entirely changes. There might not be a lot of character development but they did keep the characters in-character at least! And sometimes there are these character moments that really make you remember why you fell in love with them in the first place. The vulnerability Maui shows in regards to keeping Moana safe is - chef's kiss - sorry that's something I just gobble up as a shipper. I didn't mind the new characters either though… I will say this… Simea, while cute, is so obviously just a little toddler they put in the movie so they can market more merchandise towards other little toddlers, just like little Moana was a good merchandise hit back in 2016. Damn you Disney stop being so evil and obvious and making these characters so damn cute!

Of the three characters that join Moana's crew, I thought Moni was such a sweetheart - and I really chuckled a few times at David Fane's character Kele. There was a bit of character development throughout the movie for him. Just a tiny bit. So maybe there was some character development after all! But Moni and Loto remained kind of static, though they seemed like fine additions to the crew.

The "villain" (should I even call her that?)… meh. Kind of bland for me. She's… there. But vague. Eh… I don't even think I wanna write anything about her.

Oh, coming back to Maui not recognizing Pua… Maui also doesn't know Simea (as showcased at the very end when he goes to Motunui and asks to speak to Simea) - which means… Maui hasn't visited Motunui once in all those years? Oof. I mean I predicted it in a fanfic once but man I thought I was just being dramatic, not realistic. XD

Let's also talk about the elephant in the room… what on earth happened during the big battle? It's left a little ambiguous and this is where I get really really really spoilery as opposed to mildly spoilery before… So… Maui loses his… tattoos. Which, honestly, bit weird seeing Maui without tattoos it's like seeing him without clothes. XD It's like "PUT ON A SWEATER MAN" Did he become human, fully, for that moment? (Yeah, moment, he somehow gets the magic and stuff back) Then Moana "dies" - Maui sings a sad mourning song (ok honestly I was quite moved by all this and dear lord the emotion the animators put in there, good job on that) - then Moana… is revived by… by spirits? And now… she gets a magical tattoo??? SHE GETS… POWERS??? DEMI GOD MOANA?

I mean… my shipper brain kind of exploded cause like - hey - two demi-gods together? Oh yes, more for me to gobble up, yum yum yum. I love what that means for the future for the both of them.

And then, the entire movie is about uniting other people and suddenly there's like a bazillion boats out there of other people on the ocean? Very interesting, very interesting… There's certainly going to be adventures in the future.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to Moana 3 but dear lord don't make it a Disney + series OR if you do, DO NOT rework it in a movie when you realize there's some good stuff in there.

There is some good stuff in Moana 2 - don't get me wrong - but moving an animated series into your Thanksgiving movie is not great… Not great, Disney. Dedicate yourself to the success of Moana 1 (and Moana 2) and make Moana 3 on-par with Moana 1 again. I'll come and watch Moana 3 for sure, you haven't lost me as a viewer yet. But it better be given the respect it deserves as a franchise!

For what reason do people hate moaui? I think this ship is cute.

Hey there! I also love Moaui, I wrote a couple of fics about it a long time ago. I eventually stopped posting it because people were dogpiling me about the age difference and that I was disrespecting Polynesian culture. That second one is mostly why I stopped posting it or creating things for it because I didn’t want to be disrespectful. Looking back I think Maui is enough of a bastardized portrayal to be pretty separate from the Maui of Polynesian mythology/religion, but I’m not Polynesian, so I feel like that’s not for me to decide.
