hold on i wanna tlak about the sea monster change for like 2 seconds

i think it's so interesting that it seems to be some kind of adrenaline response, when luca is first pulled out of the water against his will he's terrified from the moment alberto pulls on the staff and the change happens almost immediately, like within a couple of seconds

then the second time when it's by his own choice (even if he did need encouragement) it's slow and calm once he starts to dry off and it's a positive experience and he actually gets to see it happen

it's SO COOL MAN!!! it's obviously a survival mechanic for sea monsters since we already know that humans hunt and capture/kill them, it just says so much abt their relationship with one another

also the dinner scene, alberto doesn't immediately revert back to his human form because he either doesn't realise exactly what happened, doesn't feel particularly threatened by massimo, or maybe both, luca very much freaked out on his behalf tho lmao

(bro can't wipe his own face btw?? 🏳‍🌈 ? )

the treehouse scene too, you'd assume they wouldn't have had to try to run and hide here and could just shake the water off but given it had just finished raining we can probably safely assume that humidity has an effect on them too, stopping them from being able to dry off as effectively and making them have to literally wipe themselves dry in luca's case and thoroughly shake off in alberto's case (he's probably more used to doing it)

just so cool. this movie is literally so cool. this is speaking to the child!me that wanted to be half fish after watching the little mermaid 800 times
