I still can’t get over this piece. Like it’s exactly what their dynamic should have been. Two girls lost and alone in their own ways, unfortunately at odds with each other because of the history of their peoples. Chelsea had so much potential to be this compelling character, someone who was so set on getting vengeance for her mother and liberating her people (with the possibility of her not even knowing where any of them were because her mother could have been outcasted after losing the war), but then finally found some happiness in her life from the person she felt she was destined to fight and kill. Ruby could have talked some sense into her and shown her “this isn’t what you really want, and it isn’t gonna make things better.” And Chelsea would ultimately unfortunately come to odds that maybe Ruby is right. She would realize she can choose what she really wants, what she’s always wanted. To have friends, an actual family, A PLACE TO CALL HOME. She doesn’t have to let the past define what she has to do, she can choose to be happy. She would realize just how much of a mistake it would be to finish her mission, because it would take away the one bit of genuine happiness she’s felt in her life. That’s why this movie feels so wrong in how it ended. There was so much potential for her character. AND YES! I know I’m ranting and I know I’m giving this movie shit, I know I shouldn’t but there are times when you have to realize something could have been so much more than what it was. And that’s this movie, that’s chelsea as a character. And I’ll always hope that dreamworks realizes that and gives it a second go and gives it their all this time. I know they can do it.
