** The whole storyline of Ariel fighting to restore music to Atlantica. Some fans like it just fine, since Ariel's character has always been associated with music and singing. To others it falls flat, because despite her iconic beautiful singing voice, they argue that Ariel doesn't care much about music in the original film – Triton and Sebastian are the ones who set up a concert to show off her singing, which she forgets in favor of exploring a shipwreck, and she later trades her voice to Ursula to become human, arguably showing that it's not a priority.

* The backstory of Queen Athena's death. To some fans, it's a good explanation of Triton's irrational hatred for humans. To others, it's completely unnecessary because Triton's anti-human prejudice was already explained in the first film (humans kill marine life with their fishing and harpooning), and they argue that making it about his wife's death makes his bigotry too sympathetic.
