So, I won't say that I hate it, because it makes it sound like I want all related to it dead, and I don't want that, there's already too much death in this world. But please, anyone who really love Frozen please don't look here if you want to defend it straight away. So that's said, I haven't watched the movie myself, and most of what I know is due to Website/Tumblr, and I know it's not the best source, but two of my friends have supported what I've picked up, so it might not be that bad.

So straight (not really) to my point. The pages I've worked the most on here on the wiki is related to Phenomena, my favorite book series since I was 12, so for about 11 years now. Phenomena started in 2002 was to end in November 2011 (seems to get a sequel according to the facebook page). In January 2012 the first announcement was made in Norwegian press that it's film rights was sold to a company in Hollywood. Now, when I researched, I might be wrong, announced Disney Frozen, or at the time 'The Snow Queen', would be the next movie in December 2011. I've heard that it's said that it's never a secret long in Hollywood, and with the series "ending" in 2011, would it be likely that it went around in December 2011. But this is not my main point.

Suddenly The Snow Queen changed directions in way of plot and in name... But keep this in mind:

  • The main characters Alk and Ilke are siblings, twins in fact. (and Anna & Elsa almost look like twins).
  • Ilke got frost powers.
  • Ilke is a Tomboy who often acts without thinking.
  • Alk is more feminine, reserved, and polite.
  • Ilke has such light hair in some illustrations it almost seems white.
  • Ilke's skin is blue due to her powers.
  • In one chapter Alk and Ilke is in a fancy place, and Ilke tries on a dress for the first time and has her hair in a braid.
  • Ilke has a hard time mastering her powers in the beginning, even injuring Alk in the prossess.
  • One of their closest friends got a stripe of white hair due to trauma.
  • In one battle, a bad guy is punched/hit again and again until he drops into a river.
  • Many villagers are afraid of Ilke's powers.
  • Alk and Ilke live without their biological parents.
  • Phenomena's morale is "Never be a slave to anything, not your own fear or anything."
  • Ilke's title is Frostens Datter(Daughter of the Frost), the Norwegian name on the Frozen movie is Frost (Although Frossen is the proper translation).

This maybe seems random at first to some of you, but it gets insane. In early 2013 a Twitter profile came up called PhenomenaWriter to tweet with fans answering questions and taking sugestions (He wants to make it a TV-series). And after that things started going nuts. The Snow Queen changed name (if I remember correctly was it back then), and plot changed drasticaly. Movie comes out, some love it, many hate it, etc etc. While Phenomena is trying to find funds at the AFM 2014. As Phenomena is there, suddenly, Disney announces Frozen 2! And, Phenomena didn't get funds after all. After all, Frozen is the one famous for having a blue girl with frost powers. They try again this year at Cannes (with sadly a poor description of the series and a hideous promotion poster), as they are there, Disney shows the first Frozen 2 trailer... and as there's no update from either WordOfGod does this also seem like a failed attempt.

Phenomena is a Norwegian book series, so if it came out in other countries people would know that, and people tend to mix up "That thing based on" and "That thing from", so that could be used as indirect PR for Disney... A guy had warned the Norwegian Government in 2008 and 2009 and said that the Norway part of Disney Land/World was outdated (hadn't been updated since the 80s) and had to be updated, but the government didn't listen and where it was are the Frozen atractions now...

So, this is why I dislike frozen, and wish it never came into extistence..!

Yeah this totally is not gonna get locked at all. Nope. Not gonna happen.

Couldn't you of at least posted why you hate it in the proper Frozen thread instead of making a new thread?

Yep, this is gonna get locked. Let me count the reasons:

  1. It[s a complaining thread. It was made just to talk about how bad something is. Against the rules.
  2. The OP makes it clear that other opinions are not welcome. That's 1 again, plus delusions of thread ownership.
  3. "I haven't seen the movie..." That's a horrible basis for a critique.
