** Comparing Sisu's design to [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]], [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Sulley]], and [[WesternAnimation/BarbieFairytopia Bibble]]. Some have even gone as far as to state that due to UnintentionalUncannyValley (see below example), Sisu is effectively Elsa's ''fursona''.

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: While the story aesop is about [[ThePowerOfTrust the need to trust people]], due to how the conflict started and became worse due to being ''too'' trusting, an alternative take could be that sometimes trust needs to be given freely, sometimes trust must be ''earned''.

** You need to trust ''the right people'', and learn if they can be trusted. Trust at first meetings can help bridge a gap but don't trust too blindly at such instances. The ones you can trust are the ones who will offer you something as well, showing that they in turn can be trusted; Raya is able to progress in her journey and gain allies because they help her out as well. And in turn, the legitimate trust you have in someone can inspire trust in others, because you've demonstrated it can be a worthwhile quality.

* BrokenAesop: Chief Benja believes that one should not withhold trust from someone just because they are from another tribe, another land and this call to trust is a noble one and hard to argue with. Sisu also believes similarly, reasoning that the world was so broken because people won't learn to trust each other. However, this is very different from withholding trust from someone who has deliberately and intentionally betrayed you. This caused Raya to shut down completely and not trust anyone, but her experiences in the story encouraged her to open up again, including to Namaari, who unfortunately, betrayed that trust a second time. Ultimately when dealing with betrayal, one side should not be expected to do all the heavy lifting and always be the first to give forth trust especially when the side that betrayed you never openly acknowledges the hurt they caused.

* InformedWrongness: The film [[BrokenAesop breaks its Aesop]] of "trust and forgiveness" over protagonist Raya's head. She is repeatedly told that she needs to be more trusting, which blatantly ignores the fact that trusting someone she barely knew helped send the world into its current state in the first place[[note]]The titular last dragon, Sisu, is the most insistent on this. But she comes from a culture of openness and trust, which shows she doesn't really understand humans. Raya learns to trust Boun, Noi, and Tong... But this is after they ''all'' tried to steal her Dragon Gem at least once[[/note]]. After Raya's party confronts [[AntiVillain Namaari]], she pulls a crossbow on them and demands Sisu and the gem fragments (betraying Raya's trust ''again''). Raya is called out for not trusting Sisu to handle the situation after [[spoiler:Namaari shoots and kills Sisu]]. But Raya (and the audience) could see Namaari's finger tightening on the trigger. It was perfectly reasonable for Raya to see this and react, ''especially'' given Namaari's previous actions.

** While the last part is true, Namaari clearly took pleasure in hunting Raya down.

** While the last part is true, Namaari clearly took pleasure in hunting Raya down. But Namaari didn't want a better world. She wanted a better world for FANG. And only for FANG. She stole the gem for FANG. she betrayed Raya again for FANG. Namaari says it herself, they needed the gem to expand FANG territory.
