It’s 2 am and the Little Mermaid sequel leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
So at the beginning of the second Little Mermaid we meet Ariel and Eric’s daughter Melody, a precocious 13 year old with a love of the ocean and an ability to talk to sea life who has no idea her mother used to be a mermaid.
Meaning this teenager thinks it’s normal that she can talk to a crab who knows her mother and talks to her as well and that’s straight glossed over.
Also how did Ariel and Eric hide this from her? Has no one in the kingdom mentioned how they first saw her mother as a sixteen year old randomly brought to the palace and then two days later the prince married an unknown woman, only for that woman to explode into an octopus witch in front of many witnesses including a high ranking church official, and then the next day he married Ariel?
Was no one from the kingdom there at the second wedding, where hundreds of merpeople attended, including the god damn king/god of the ocean? As a coastal seafaring people I feel like that would have been big news so to keep it wrapped up that means after an octopus witch exploded out of the future queen no one had follow ups to that or why Eric married someone else the next day in a secret ceremony that no one saw? Also did they stay catholic after learning there’s a sea god controlling the fate of their fishing who made an alliance with their kingdom through marriage and maybe there’s an expectation that they would stop fishing or some other way appease his ocean god wishes?
Also speaking of coastal seafaring towns, wouldn’t they care that octopus witches existed and clearly had targeted the royal line at least once? And if they didn’t obviously they should because a second octopus witch tried to kill off the royal bloodline 13 years later so even if they didn’t know that they should be aware that ocean witches exist and they’re angry at their kingdom in particular.
If none of this ever came up does that mean everyone at the first wedding died? The priest and the witnesses? Did no one have questions about why the prince left with a bride and a ship full of people and came back with a totally different bride and no people?
All I’m saying is there’s no way they kept that secret without massive complications that got totally glossed over in that direct to VHS children’s movie.
Bugs Bunny could singlehandedly defeat Thanos by dressing up as a TSA agent and setting up a metal detector in the middle of the battlefield saying that all metal objects must be removed if you want to pass on through now stick around for my 2,000 word essay on just how effectively he would convince The Mad Titan to comply
“For shame, doc! Dontcha know we got other folks waiting?”
(Thanos looks behind him and sees dozens of Bugs Bunnies dressed as angry yelling travelers with huge bags of luggage. Thanos rubs his neck guiltily and begins sliding off the gauntlet)
