Lin Manuel-Miranda mentioned that Along The Way will be his last song written for Moana...

(do i really have to be the bearer of bad news?...)

So Lin Manuel Miranda said that he's written Along The Way, the song that will be featured in the live-action(ugh)remake of Moana as his "One LAST Tune" for the franchise.

.

god...

With Moana 3 coming, and Miranda being done with this franchise, I think we're cooked.

Although Along The Way is pretty catchy, even if it's for a movie that I would NOT bother watching.

The songs in Moana 2 without Lin were pretty forgettable from what I've heard, and after listening to Along The Way, I never knew that he's great at writing songs for the beloved Wayfinder.

I doubt that Dana Ledoux Miller will still save it, and Jared Bush somehow messed up with the sequel alongside her.

Disney Animation is a lost cause thanks to Jennifer Lee and Bob Iger, and I give up.

what can i say except....

it's over

Disney needs to stop making Moana movies

Moana 2 made sense and had the perfect gap between it and Moana. But now they’ve released Moana Live Action and there’s a Moana 3 in the works 2 years after Moana 2s release, I’m afraid Disney is going to over kill it.

As a Polynesian, the representation in Moana has been very important especially with showing our culture to countries that don’t recognise our ethnicity in censuses. But if it’s the same thing over and over again it gets tiring. Disney has a history of over killing franchises, and I don’t want that for my people.

It’s a bit like Disney and Star Wars, the first few movies after Disney bought it were good but the second they started mass producing Star Wars / Star Wars inspired content the franchise went downhill with Mandalorian being the exception. It would be such a shame if Moana met the same fate because Polynesian culture isn’t represented outside Oceania. For most people, the only proper exposure to Polynesian culture (aside from Hawaii based things and the haka) was through Moana. If Disney over does Moana that won’t do anything good for the Polynesian community. Instead what Disney should do is make other movies based on Polynesian mythology. Heck, I’d love for them to even make a spinoff based on Maui life before Moana, from when he was thrown in the ocean as a Premie by his mum Taranga to when he fished up NZ.

The Rock addresses small social media minority who think Moana live action shouldn't exist..

He says animated cultural and human themes should be fleshed out by real people in real settings..and he's absolutely correct.

I also think he's being far too patient, far too nice with these loud clueless selfish people

For every one of them, there are thousands of others - including heaps of children around the world - looking forward to moana live action dropping this week..

The Moana x Maui ships (as in they should date) are weird

People clearly don’t realise Maui is the ancestor of Moana. Like are people pro incest?

Okay, Explaining why Moana 3 is currently developing & I’m worried about the franchise:

I’m actually surprised, excited but yet scared & don’t trust Disney at the same thing for most…reasons. I hope this time it had a good storytelling, had great character development & great characters. (Yes, I still don’t trust Disney)

For some who thinks Moana 2 is the end & doesn’t need another sequel, Didn’t you watch the mid-credits? Moana 2 is actually just a series that the episodes are being mash together into one big movie, that’s why it doesn’t make sense at all & is too rushed . But at the end of Moana 2: reveals Nalo, Tamatoa is alive & reappeared. Also Matangi was handcuffed by Nalo’s power after she helped Moana & her crew. Well…that just the beginning of more trouble, Nalo is planning something bigger for Moana & her crew. Also, if Moana 2 is still a series for Disney+, Moana 3 will (supposedly) be Moana 2 but I believe Disney (Greedy ass) makes into a movie so Moana will had three movies of Moana.

So from what I heard in this article Jared Bush is currently working on Moana 3 along with Dana Ledoux: The same director & writer that wrote Moana 2 (which most people hated it the most). But in Zootopia 2: Jared bush literally locked in. I’m so excited but screwed when the writer & the director are the same person that do Moana 2. Well, I hope this time it’s good. Also, I hope Disney stop milking Moana…I love its franchise.

I can’t believe they would already decide in less than 10 years to already make a live action adaptation. That’s a new record honestly.

One question: am I the only one who likes Moana 2?

Look, I know *Moana 2* was originally supposed to be a series before becoming a movie—which is why the quality is a bit lower than the first one—but honestly, I don't think it's a bad movie. I actually really liked it (though obviously not enough to top the original). I do think the hate *Moana 2* gets is a bit overblown, though—do you guys agree?
