FROZEN//FROZEN 2: Lieutenant Mattias replaicing Hans is kind of odd ...
And not just with the merchandise, but also with the promotional material itself:
Not that it was wrong to promote the new character F2 brought us, but the way they used Mattias so heavily really feels like they were trying to fill a "logical hole" Hans left behind, so they had to use a character with similar elements, related more to the formal and royal side of the "demographic", most importantly a man, to "balance" things out (2 female protagonists, 2 sidekicks and 2 main male characters). Still, it's kind of off for me most importantly for two reasons:
1- Mattias is much older than the protagonists (50/60 years more likely)
2- Mattias is a secondary character, with very little to share with Anna, Elsa and Kristoff in terms of actual "narrative weight"
It's not a critic, just a little detail I find strange, that's all ...
