Anyway, both of them are over-analyzed! People try to make Aurora seem like a deep and complex character, even though she's far from it. Just because she thinks about her dreams doesn't make her some kind of intelligent expert on dreams. By that logic, that means that I'm an intelligent expert on dreams too! People also say that she cried when she received her crown because the pressure of starting a new life and accepting the duties as a princess was too much for her. WHAT THE HELL? What on Earth would have lead to thinking that? The fairies basically said it was because of that boy she met and in a deleted scene it showed that Aurora said it was what she was upset about. There is absolutely nothing that would indicate that she's upset about her new duties! It's all because she can't be with the man she met! She has little to no character or personality. She's a standard and generic fairy-tale princess. People try to analyze every single little detail about her like it's some kind of deep and meaningful thing when she does nothing of the sort. I don't get it AT ALL! So Odette from The Swan Princess has a lot more screen-time and demonstrates meaningful things like refusing to give into the villain and wanting to be loved for more than her looks, but she's considered to have no personality but Aurora does have personality? WHAT THE HELL? Odette is a more fleshed out and developed character than Aurora! But I digress. Aurora has done nothing, other than giving up being with the man she just met to be a princess with duties, that could be considered deep or complex.
Elsa is also a very flat character that people over-analyze as a deep and complex character when she's nothing of the sort. She's a simple character that's very easy to understand. She's afraid of her powers, loves her sister, hides her powers, and runs away from her problems until her sister fixes them for her. That's it! Her anxiety and love for her sister is all there is to her. I've been hearing that knowing little about her is what makes her interesting and complex and that is a very poor excuse in my opinion. A complex character is someone that is hard to understand because of their complicated psychological mind. Elsa is a very easy person to understand. Female characters like Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Regina from Once Upon A Time, and Helga from Hey Arnold are what I call female characters that are complex. They went through horrible parenting, want love, treat people they care about badly because they don't know how to love, and don't know the difference between right and wrong. Azula has even had hallucinations of her mother. Knowing about a character and their past is what makes them complex because you understand what they went through. What makes them complex is because of their messed up past, you don't know decisions they're going to make because they never knew what was right or wrong. Elsa isn't a complicated character at all, just poorly written. People also say that her parents abused her but they really didn't at all. They were worried that people would fear and hurt her because of her powers and tried to protect her. An abusive parent wouldn't do something like that. Don't get me wrong, they're horrible and stupid parents, but they're not abusive. They never hit her or verbally abused her. They also try to say that she's hard-working when she doesn't work hard at all! She never tries to fix her mistakes and just runs away from them. People just want to project themselves onto her because she's a blank slate.
Please have some respect for others' opinions and tone it down a little. We all know how you feel about the princesses, okay? There's no need to be so belligerent all the time.
What I find the most interesting about Elsa is that she is being projected onto so much. When you watch the movie, it is clear that were are supposed to pity her and relate with her sister, Anna. However, people are projecting themselves onto her instead, which was clearly not the creators original intent.
Moreover, people use her very limited screen time and one song to deduce some very extreme conclusions about her, such as she represents part of the LGBTQIA community, she has depression and many other ways that people project themselves onto her.
Aurora does not have the same effect. I don't see people pushing themselves into her character the way they do to Elsa because, whether people like to admit it or not, she has more of a defined character than Elsa does.
Yes, both are over analyzed, but, if you take a step back, ALL of the princesses are. That is the whole reason for this clubs existence, to analyze and discuss the characters we know and love from our childhoods and our future children's childhoods.
SO, getting heated up over someone over analyzing a character just because you don't see what they are talking about is just closed-minded. Instead of starting a fire, just try to keep an open mind and try to understand the opposite side's position instead of completely writing them off as idiotic.
Also, I agree with MelStrachey.
TBH this is one of the best clubs on Fanpop. I love the analysis aspect of this club and how we're always debating and questioning stuff (in comparison to other clubs that are basically "who's your favorite character?" "what's your favorite hair color"- which aren't really...that open to debate and analysis as this club does).
Anyhow I do kind of feel like Elsa's a bit over-analyzed. But what isn't at this point? When you're on tumblr you see all the analysis. And is it really a bad thing? When you like a character it's fun to think up theories and headcanons. It's fun to get creative. I'm gonna be honest and say it can get a bit annoying when people do all this far-fetched analysis...like so far fetched it's ridiculous. Which again, honestly, I see happen quite a bit with Elsa. However for the most part it's all good with me.
