First I want to make it clear that this video isn´t mine, but it really is the best analysis I have seen about the relationship between Blitz and Stolas (^///^)

"Dads in animation have had a reputation for a while for being dumb, incompetent, selfish and sometimes just straight-up bad people. Even caring fathers tend to be on the slow side or the butt of most jokes... and that's before you get into anime where we also get lots of abuse, absence and borderline incest.

DADS. DESERVE. BETTER.

And good fictional fathers are out there, I have found them.

In fact I amassed such a surplus of good dad contenders I ultimately couldn't narrow it down to even 10. This list is partially in tribute to my own Dad because he ALSO hates the Dumb Dad Trope...

Nevermind The Simpsons, he didn't like BERENSTAIN BEARS, where you only have to look at several of their covers to get that PAPA was basically another child to discipline. Which isn’t to say that Fictional Fathers need to be perfect or even completely selfless anymore than real parents, but today we're going to honor the balance of making memorable, entertaining characters that also put in somewhat of an effort into taking care of their kids."

It’s such a shame that Frozen 2′s potential was wasted. It could have changed my perception of the franchise for the better if they decided to give the anti-colonialist message full focus. But unfortunately what remains from that plotline completely falls flat to me since the Northuldra characters weren’t given nearly enough screen time to drive the moral home, AND because there weren’t any real consequences to breaking the dam.

Instead of making a real statement by ending the movie with Arendelle having to be rebuilt, Disney decided to go with the already-tired twist of splitting up the closest characters at the end. Seriously, what is up with that? Wreck-It Ralph 2 did it as well, and that is coincidentally another disappointing Disney sequel with deleted scenes that prove it could have been much better. But who are we kidding... Ultimately the final product is going to be geared towards what’s most marketable for the company even if the story suffers.
