Are We Sure Moana Isn't a Demi-God?

I mean, girl managed to knock over an enormous stone statue of Maui with the strength of her legs alone. Fast forward a thousand years and superstitious Englishmen would be accusing her of drying up their cows and making their breeding animals infertile.

Catch me when you can, Mishter Lusk.

That thing was off-balance to begin with.

Well, she was definitely working with a good fulcrum, and the statue was not well made. I mean, look at the flabby guys who knocked over the boulder at the national park earlier this year, right?

But considering the variety of things that fall under 'demi god'... she could be, she absolutely falls under Legendary Hero archetype.

I was thinking that, but because she "controls" water.

I love the way you laugh.

Thing is, she doesn't control the water. The water seems to be its own entity that helps her when it wants.
