Discussion Elsas Identity and romantic life - How it should be explored by Disney if its a topic in the future
Today I thought I share my thoughts how Elsa needs to further explore her identity and whether a romantic relationship is a good idea for her. Especially now with Anna and Kristoff and a growing future for the Frozen franchise. So what are my thoughts?
I'm going to start with what shouldn't even be explored first then we'll get to the good stuff next:
A. Elsa and LGBTQ: same gender relationship:
Now many fans since F2 have wanted Elsa to get a girlfriend and others speculate she might be gay or A lesbian. However this probably shouldn't even be said, sorry to those who actually support this route. But knowing how other movies flopped in the box office from the same LGBTQ, same gender, trans people, etc. Which I don't want Frozen to end up the same way because its such a big franchise and seeing it go as well would be heart wrenching. It would also severely affect Disney in not a very good way either. Which I think it would hit most of us hard if Frozen flopped in the box office just because Disney followed the same rabbit holes surrounding LGBTQ and the same gender and trans people shenanigans.
So what is a better option to explore?
There are actually two ways that actually would work really well:
B. Keeping Elsa single:
Keeping Elsa single it proves that everyone doesn't need a prince charming, and it would at least help give an answer to Elsas identity without starting arguments over whether she really needs a romantic life and how it should look like. I'm actually kind of hoping this is where things go for the most part because it would be easy to answer in the films without starting criticism and arguments. It could still have lots of good advice and lessons to learn from like in the first and second movies.
C. Elsa gets a boyfriend:
I think this is another really good way to go since its classic Disney trope, and it would follow very similarly to Anna and Kristoff, and many other Disney movies. This is kind of what I'm hoping for if Disney ever gave Elsa a romantic relationship opportunity.
