It’s just so gross, like an attempt to be faux progressive by shipping Nani off to college. Like I am Team Women in STEM - but, this is also playing into the fucked up history of indigenous people having their children removed by the state for bullshit and racist reasons. Especially when ICWA is not something 47 gives a rats ass about.
It’s absolute garbage, and the ending literally goes against the theme of the first movie (eg - Nani gives Lilo up)
Oh shit, they had a blue print for success and fuzzy family shit and they could not even get that right?
They also neutered the political messaging of the film - the themes around tourism and how that affects native Hawaiians. Really wish that they had left this scene in the original animated movie.
