uhhh, did you watch the same movie as everyone else? because into the unknown literally moved the plot of the movie from elsa wanting to go to the enchanted forest and waking the spirits
I did watch the same film and while it does end with Elsa waking the spirits, I didnât see that as a conscious choice on her part. I may have misunderstood that, but while itâs clear sheâs more accepting of the idea of chasing after this voice, I didnât see her releasing the spirits as a choice she made as much as a reaction her magic had to her emotions in combination with the voice and her destiny. It just... happened.Â
And since I didnât see it as a conscious choice, it didnât feel like the song was necessary to get her to the point where her magic reacts and releases the spirits.
And if youâve looked at any social media since this film came out, youâll realize that thereâs two camps over which song of Elsaâs is really the next âLet It Goâ because while Into the Unknown is getting promoted as the true successor, I feel like the people who wrote and made the film felt otherwise. Show Yourself is visually and contextually much closer to Let It Go than Into the Unknown. So your assertion that I somehow watched a different movie than âeveryone elseâ is... a little ignorant on your end and unnecessarily aggressive.
Youâre welcome to like Into the Unknown, I never said it wasnât a bad song. I said it wasnât worthy of winning an Oscar, but that doesnât make it a bad song. Personally, I just feel like Into the Unknown was shoved in there to make a song that had a catchier melody that kids could sing along to easier and wasnât really necessary. So if you like the song, great! I got it stuck in my head a lot before I saw the film, more than Show Yourself. That doesnât mean I think itâs a better song, though.
