I went into this movie expecting dragons, fighting and the usual Disney adventure. I got all of that, plus the argument between Raya and Sisu.
Raya doesn't trust people.
And honestly, I understand her.
She trusted Namaari once, and that trust ended badly.
What makes raya and the last dragon interesting is that Sisu believes trust can bring everyone together. Raya believes trust can get you hurt. Neither of them is completely wrong.
The problem is that the movie sometimes makes trust look too simple. In real life, you can't just tell someone, Trust me, and expect everything to be fine. Trust has to be built. People have to show you that they deserve it.
Everyone in Kumandra is protecting themselves because they are afraid of being betrayed. And because everyone is afraid, nobody is willing to trust anyone. That fear is what keeps the whole place divided.
Namaari wasn't written as a completely evil character. She made terrible decisions, but you can still understand why she made some of them.
And Sisu? She is probably the funniest character in the movie. She isn't the strongest dragon we've seen in movies, and that's actually the point. Her biggest strength is that she still believes people can be better even after everything that has happened.
But I still have one problem with the message hehehe.
In the ending raya do not know for certain that Namaari will do the right thing. She doesn't have proof. She doesn't get a guarantee. She simply chooses to trust. And that is probably the hardest part of the whole story. The difficult part is trusting someone when you have every reason to protect yourself. So, is Sisu right that trust can save the world? Maybe.
