![]() ![]() There's a point where she's willing to give a peace offering, but it’s only at the climax where we really start to see her take a step back and maybe think of trusting people. We do see this happen a bit when she faces Namaari near the end of the film. Why can’t she think for one moment and wonder ‘Huh, maybe other people have lost their families, too, and would be willing to help me without a fight.’ Yes, the world is mistrusting, but why not give it a chance to see if other people want to help, too? Raya acts like she’s the only one who cares about reuniting the stones and she thinks no one will give it up without a fight. If I had lost my father in that same circumstance, I would be traveling all over the world to somehow find a solution as well.īut in this case, Sisu is so right. Raya Is Almost Too Mistrusting Of The World That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but considering the standard of sidekicks that Disney has made over the years, I don’t feel the same way. I feel like Awkwafina tried her best truly to make her stand out, but many of the jokes feel entirely catered to making young kids laugh. But adults know, and the casual way in which he says it makes it even funnier. Even the way Olaf said, “Oh look, I’ve been impaled,” makes me laugh because what child would know what that means?

When I think of Disney movies, I think of sidekicks that parents can connect with as well. ![]() I get that it’s supposed to be like “alright, we get it, har har” but to me, it just felt annoying. I already mentioned the group project joke earlier on but there’s this one running gag where she keeps saying how good of a swimmer she is. It felt like she was almost trying to make Sisu into another version of the Genie from Aladdin where she cracks jokes constantly, but to me, that fell flat. ![]() She has been amazing in some other films, like The Farewell and Crazy Rich Asians, but there was something about her portrayal of Sisu that did not stick with me. While I do encourage Disney to do more movies like this where the proper representation is used so that way kids have someone to look up to, I did not like Awkwafina in this role. ![]()
