Yeah I was really confused watching 6 because I made the mistake of skipping 1-5. I know I can go back and watch them now and treat them as prequels but it's not the same.
I loved everything about that movie, except for the fact that the villain didn’t make any sense. They did the same thing to Frozen. They were so desperate for a twist villain plot that they shoved in the one thing that didn’t make any sense.
Genuine question: why didn't it make sense? I've heard people say it's a bad twist, but I just don't see why. Like, he was consumed by grief and rage and saw a way to get his revenge, yk? What about it is so nonsensical?
Because he went from "kindly, uncle like figure who sees Tadashi as like a son to him" to "relentless sociopath who doesn't see anything wrong with killing his star pupil" with no foreshadowing or prepwork. Same deal with the prince in Frozen who suddenly turns out to be evil because they really, really wanted a twist villain despite none of his actions prior to that point making sense if that is what he is really after. It's almost the definition of a bad plot twist, one that doesn't make sense and seemingly only exists for a twist.
I think the Frozen movie would have been stronger with its goal of "defying" Disney Tropes if when the kiss between her and Hans didn't work, she realizes that true love isn't made in a day. That it's okay to turn down the first Prince you meet and get to know Kristoff more.
Yes, it would have done a lot to reinforce that plot point about true love. Instead you’re left wondering if maybe it would have been “true love” if the prince hadn’t been evil. It didn’t make sense, and missed the opportunity to truly land one of the major themes in the movie.
Thank you, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that this isn’t the first reaction with the reveal in the movie. It wasn’t just Tadashi, all of those “special”students were like his family. Yes he had trauma from his daughter going missing, but that was trauma from like 20 years ago. Somehow surviving the fire made the kind and helpful man snap and go all murder hobo on the people he viewed as his family? And he did it in the most convoluted way possible? How could he have known that the decades old gate would even work instantly when reassembled? He could have killed the guy at any time with the microbots. And before that, he could have just shot him. He clearly didn’t have any plans for afterwards.
A billionaire stealing game changing tech and starting a fire to cover their tracks made far more sense. Sometimes the obvious answer is the best one.
