I just did a Netflix on it to see what the fuss was but when it ended, I too thought a bunch of the things listed. Specifically regarding the guys in the movie. It was like they engineered them early on to fill the love interest roles for both girls then turned one evil and the other suddenly had eyes for the red head. I was like...come on, he's a kid who has made a living with ice...he's perfect for Elsa's character.
But yeah, I blame that song for ruining it. Before that song the movie seemed like it was going to a better place where Elsa goes evil. Some of the lyrics still hint at the movie we could have had. Just instead of changing things to bring it back into the original concept, they left it in and made it a confusing empowerment movie. Goes to show that when you are making a film, don't change direction halfway through production.
My favorite critique of the film tho is one where they confront the parents with the trolls. The trolls tell them what not to do with Elsa to help her manage her powers and the parents reply the opposite (lock her up, keep her lonely/etc). It really exposed the core problem of the film. The parents are evil jerks. Course it also made me wish it had happened and turned Elsa evil. Even if for a time before turning good again.

The whole power of love thing might've worked. I think I'd like your version much better.
I keep hearing things about an anime called 'Another', but I have no idea what all the fuss is about. Do you know?

Watch it.
It's good.
High School kids die.
In horrible ways.
Totes worth.
ShadedExalt:

Or AoT horrible?
Edit: Oh god it's like Higurashi isn't it

It would have, turn Elsa into Vader. If she can create sentient snow monsters, she could create an army to attack the nobles. The prince guy keeps his personality and you have a Helms Deep defense going on as the snow army attacks. Then the sister and ice boy go to convince Elsa to stop. They fail the first time but it sets up a situation where he gets even more determined. The sister too joins the battle to stand against Elsa. In the end, Elsa Vader succumbs to love somehow, remembers the goodness in her. Turns away from destroying everything. Nobles that pushed her to this fate get killed or exiled. Roll traditional happy Disney ending.
Think Elfen Lied made me disinterested in horror/gore anime. Every episode went out of it's way to brutally kill or maim people. Everyone being crazy and brutalized themselves too. Reminded me of Shinji cept this would be the homicidal version of Shinji with boobs who kills and dismembers his father and Rei/Asuka. Then turns into a torso with fake arms/legs held together by powers...uggg.
Teraformars last season I watched probably a handful of episodes before I finally just had it. They'd brutally kill off characters in each episode, heavily censored. Some scenes they'd have a white box covering the entire screen it was so bad. Then they'd show flashbacks giving you reasons to care for them. I was just...no...no...I'm not going to watch a meatgrinder grind meat then be made to care for said meat after the fact.
