Actually, the writers addressed this.Gloves are an important detail in the movie. Elsa and Hans used gloves to hide something. Elsa was hiding her powers, and Hans was hiding his true intentions. He takes his gloves off when he refuses to kiss Anna. Then he puts them on again when he walks out of the room. Look it up
@@trishatalaroc2968 After he says "If there was someone out there who loves you" he takes one glove off to put off the candle with his finger while explaining his real plans and doesn't put it back on until he's about to leave.
Yes and the trolls might have known this already so I doubt there is any way they put a spell on Hans and besides at the beginning when she and him talk he even says that he was the youngest brother of 12 and that he wasn't in line for the throne for a while. so why not take a kingdom for yourself
Fun fact there is a book about Agnar and Iduna's life before and slightly after their daughter birth. In said book, Agnar says, " many people were after the throne of Arendelle including The southern ilse," so the trolls didn't manipulate anything in Hans mind. Hans even says "I originally was going to go after Elsa but no one was getting anywhere with her, so I turned my sights on to you. You were so desperate it almost made it too easy." Therefore Hans was allways after the thron.
His lines in their duet are literally "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" and while she is admiring him he reiterates "I've found my place" His motives are subtle but there the whole time
@@Strawberry1sDead where exactly is that? In "love is an open door" they both say "but with you" and the only real difference is that he admires her position while she focuses on him. Edit: Perhaps you mean the "you - and I - were - just -meant to be" part, however Hans doesn't say "but" prior to the word "you," it's all played pretty straight after the intro
Yes! I remember listening to the song for the first time , thinking what an odd thing to say considering it was the first time they were declaring feelings for each other !
He was acting from the start While they are singing, Hans starts saying "I mean it's crazy, we finish each other's..." and Anna quickly answers "...sandwiches!" with Hans adding a fake "That's what I was gonna say!". Of course that's not what he wanted to say, but he had to pretend he did so Anna would feel like they really had a "connection", you see, that was the whole thing about Hans, he wanted Anna and everyone else believe that he truly loved Anna, so when he eventually betrayed her and Elsa and take over the kingdom it would appear as he had no other choice, like he planned on the end of the movie.
Hans is doing something called love bombing. It’s a very common abuse tactic where in someone goes very, very hard at being affectionate and thoughtful only to suddenly flip the switch as soon as they’ve got their target where they belong. It’s hammy how Hans turns so suddenly “evil” but it’s pretty obvious he knew what he was doing.
In “Love is an Open Door” Hans: “you” (referring to Anna) Anna: “and I” (referring to herself) Continued: “We’re just meant to be…” Anna and Anna? Yeah he literally said from the beginning “you’re meant to be without me”.
Actually it was pretty clear he was purposely trying to fool her. When they sang "love is an open door", he was clearly trying to make advances and win favour, while walking on eggshells around her, and he stopped as soon as he didn't need to.
Love is an open door, Hans makes his intentions clear when he motions with wide swept arms to tje kingdom of Arendelle while singing, "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" As in "I'm going to make this place mine." Hans was a bad guy right from the beginning. Also, What's Duke Weselton hiding? (since someone pointed out that gloves are used to convey 'hidden secrets') If I had to guess- probably his sick dance moves XD
@@tenientemantequilla4307 That's the thing, Hans was only supposed to be Anna's fiance and that's it. Elsa was originally the villain, just like in the original story of The Snow Queen. They changed it last minute because they came up with the song "Let It Go" half way through production. After that they didn't wanna make Elsa the villain anymore and just used Hans instead. Which made absolutely no sense, because even in scenes where it's just Hans by himself we don't see any signs of him starting to turn on Anna, which pisses me off. And this is why I hate Disney's twist villains.
@@Alo-Alois I think they made a very good choice making Hans the villain and Elsa good. Elsa is a beautiful and powerful character and making her evil would have not been a great story for children. Who cares about the original story? It turned out very cool and this movie wasn’t so popular for nothing.
@@Alo-Alois I feel like it makes him an even better villain. There are little hints of him being manipulative, and everything he does fits with his plot. That smile after meeting Anna for the first time could be seen as "Nice, getting in with this royal family is gonna be evil. This princess is so ready to be loved she won't see me coming. So even if I fail with her sister this plan could still work." And he just follows her lead the whole time and is whoever she wants him to be. Why shouldn't Disney have less obvious villains who are more subtle and manipulative? This is a safe way to introduce kids to betrayal and the idea that just because you seem to get along with people right from the start, doesn't mean they're good for you. And thank F**k he wasn't just her fiance after just meeting. Cinema has a rich history of normalising getting attached too quickly. Especially for movies targeted to younger people.
@HiGummbi It would've been better if they showed his intentions instead of just throwing the random evilness in there. If you actually want to see how that lesson plays out, then I suggest watching either Gravity Falls or The Owl House. They do it way better. The fact that Hans just becomes a villain out of literally nowhere is the worst twist ever and doesn't work at all. There are multiple videos that will explain why. And that little smile at the beginning? That's literally what makes it horrible because that's an endearing smile that Anna doesn't even see. So what's the point in smiling like that if she doesn't see it. And he's constantly is in disagreement with The Duke of Weselton, so again, what's the point? It's very obvious that they changed the plot halfway through at that point, which they did.
Anna did that at the end. "The only frozen heart around here is YOURS." (punches in the face, causing Hans to fall off the boat, and in that SHE _got him out the way_ )
Actually why I find Hans is an underrated villain. He isn't as big puppeteery as other iconic villains were. He is an oppertunist, moving with the punches as quickly as he can. He does also say he would have married Anna and probably get along enough with her to not off Anna, but Elsa would have had to go one way or the other.
You have seen when Hans came in the starting he’s wearing clothes that matches Elsa’s clothes so he was after the Queen but when he met Anna, he changed his mind because Elsa didn’t like any man
@@soumya5832 if I would say that she doesn’t like men then it would be l like she likes women and that’s not a great thing to say course it’s False so yeah I am right
No, this is a stretch because when he reveals his intentions he says how being the last of 12 he would never have a chance at a kingdom so he was manipulating Anna to marry him so he can take over as king of arendale (or however you spell it)
But the thing is, that’s not how kingdoms work. Hans didn’t marry Anna so he wouldn’t be king. It would make no sense for Hans to get to be king because why in the world would a kingdom make a the last of 12 princes from a completely different king? Also he wasn’t dating Elsa he was dating Anna. He could’ve token the kingdom over a while ago but he didn’t. He saved Elsa from being killed at one point which makes no sense
My sister and I have the theory that one of his many siblings is actually his twin. The original Hans actually cares about Anna, but then the twin comes, switches places, and he becomes "evil Hans." The last time we see the real Hans is when he's handing out blankets to the villagers
So many good points from top comments on here about gloves concealing true intentions (Mickey wears gloves), and Love is an Open Door's hidden meanings. I think the trolls idea is clever, and can exist as head cannon. I wondered for awhile if the scene where Hans protected Elsa from being shot by a crossbow, and the chandelier fell, if one of the ice shards pierced Hans' heart, "freezing" it. Hans coulda let Elsa die in a murder and his plan would have played out just fine. Why go through the trouble to save her from being shot?
Actually before the movie came out my aunt knew that Hans was going to be a villain because she knows the guy who voiced him. He accidentally started talking about it and it was overheard. So he actually is a villain.
But there is this one song sentence where Anna sings we finish each others “sandwiches”, Hans meant to say sentences. This is when Hans realised how naive Anna was. He could potentially show fake love and rule Arrendele. All he needed to do was to get Elsa out of the way. And when they discovered Elsa's power, Hans will have the perfect opportunity to rule Arrendele.
@@albaestrada8603well it's a play on the words "were close, because we finish each other's sentences". So not evidence, but it's supposed to be funny, because everyone was expecting him to say sentences before she cut him off, which seems like evidence, although not hard evidence
That kind of makes sense though, although he could be a twist villain, like he goes from nice and caring to evil and daring. He wanted arendelle all to himself and manipulated Anna into thinking that he loves her so he could end her and her sister in the end to become a king.
@@Linoluvsss no he would've been king with Elsa and likely Anna out of the way he would've been declared king not prince consort. he was either going to be king or sent back to his brothers having failed his objective of becoming king
@@ricky_peck_9438 no, because he has no Royal blood. If he marries anna end both sisters die it will go to either Anna's oldest child or the royalty would end. Mate, I'm British, I think I know how monarchies work 🧍🏻♀️
I know everyone says he was acting, but if so, why would he risk his own life for Elsa when the Duke's men are about to kill her? Anna wasn't there, he could have easily just "accidentally" taken a few seconds longer so that Elsa got killed. But he helped her not only by stopping her from hurting the men (which would have made everyone turn against her & helped him really) but then warned her about the other shot that sent the chandelier falling. He could have let her die if that was his plan all along & still would have come off as the hero who just couldn't save her. Or let her kill the men & manipulated the situation to make her look evil like everyone already thought. He literally had nothing to gain by saving her in that moment if he had planned to kill her all along like he said in the end.
I don't remember it fully, but I saw this theory once. Hans is one of many brothers in line to be King in his kingdom. He would never be King there because of all people before him in the line since he was one of the youngest. I don't recall it why or how, but he knew about a mysterious and shy princess from the neighboring kingdom. And he started to have this platonic love and curiosity towards Elsa. Later on, their parents dies, news everywhere but no sign of the princess till the day of her coronation. Then Hans goes to Arindelle to meet Elsa, who he always had the platonic feeling. But he meet Anna thinking she was Elsa. With all this being said, Hans' plans was meet the platonic love of his life, Elsa, marrying her and became a king in other place because in his kingdom the line was too long. But everything turns upside down when he envolves himself with Anna, the youngest princess, insted of Elsa, the older princess and future queen of Arindelle. So he couldn't hurt Elsa because he wanted to be the king, so he had to have a good reputation to be worth of the throne. And maybe he couldn't kill her because of his heart. At the end is possible to see this kinda glimpse, like with Anna he left her to die with such cold blood, but when he tries to reach out Elsa in prison he was much softer and delicate with her. So.... this theory is quite something to think about 😂
@@an4c3cilia76wow😮 I never thought of that, tbh I just like to enjoy the movie and I don't really think about the theories but this just made wanna see the movie again and see it myself
No, he was trying to get her to stop the winter. That's one of the first things he says when he sees her in prison, but when he realizes she can't, he orders her to death.
Hans says he would of preferred elsa but she was impossible, but Anna was easy to manipulate, so he went after her instead. He spells it out in the movie
I could honestly believe him feeling a little bit of sympathy for Anna whilst still deciding to use her regardless of said feelings. Like, he's got the whole 'I'm the youngest and I don't have anything compared to my brothers' thing going on - after seeing the way Anna acts after being isolated according to Elsa's rules, it's not unbelievable that he might project a bit of his own story onto what he sees of hers, and relate to her somewhat. It doesn't need to be enough of a connection to make him change his mind about his plans, for it to still be there.
@@revimfadli4666Hans is tho. He knew Anna was dying and left her to die, thinking thats exactly what happened, while he then attempted to kill Elsa. He's not empathetic, he only wanted the throne. Also yes all manipulators are sociopathic and lack empathy, because the whole thing about manipulation is to trick people for selfish gain. 1 example is how Hans manipulates Anna into trusting him by defending her from the Duke. I get that some people use manipulation for good causes, but when we hear the term "manipulator" its usually referring to the whole personality of the person, like a narcissist.
Ok but a really good indicator that Hans wanted the throne was when him and Anna first interacted, “if you were to bump into my sister Elsa, yeesh, but lucky for you ITS JUST ME” and Hans took that as she is the only heir SO he wouldn’t have to kill Elsa cause she didn’t exist in Hans mind. But when Hans found out about Elsa and Anna was sick and the one guy says “you are all Arendelle has left” he could push his way to the top by taking out Elsa and Anna. Elsa freaking out and showing her powers was a bonus cause the kingdom was already against her cause the Duke of Weselton make a bad image for her. BOOM
Btw he mentioned that as he is the 13th child his own 12 big brothers won't let him be a king so he has the only way to be crowned if he marries a queen, but Elsa always knocked people out from herself and Anna is searching for love life since she was a kid, so his deceitful plan was created from the beginning. In fact, he didn't want to kill anyone all by himself, Anna is about to die and he shows that Elsa is the reason of her dying, he just blurted out that Elsa is a witch. She had killed her sister because Hans's planned was to announce she's harmful and people made him to give her death sentence
Naah, the first moment Kristoff appeared (as an adult) it was obvious Hans wasn't going to end up with Anna, and especially bc Kristoff talked with Anna about her early relationship with Hans and he also showed some interest in her 🤷
Elsa was originally supposed to be the villain of the movie. After hearing the song let it go, they rewrote parts of the movie to make Elsa the hero, which is why you see such a drastic change in Hans.
Hans seems like a good guy in the beginning because he was originally not supposed to be the villain: Elsa was. So when they changed things, he remains very trustworthy-seeming. I enjoy this about him, actually: it was refreshing to be taken by surprise.
In the original story there’s a weird mirror that gets stuck in someone’s eye. He’s all mirror-like with anyone who he’s with. Except when he removes his gloves and looks at his reflection.
That shot of his face looking lovingly at Anna as she leaves when they first met! No one’s supposed to be around to see this. It makes no sense on second rewatch if he is just trying to trick her. If he made an unreadable expression or the scene literally cut as he fell into the water, then we can know he always had this plan and was acting. But the loving gaze he makes when he’s alone? The movie didn’t need to include this. He must have genuinely liked Anna up to a point.
there is a book where hans got to meet elsa instead of anna months before the coronation and in the chapter from his pov we see he had the evil intentions with elsa all along as he explained
@@trevandrea8909 the title is A Twisted Tale Book 7 Conceal, Don't Feel by Jen Calonita Sadly only 1 chapter is through his POV but is all we need to know his true colors
This would be so much better, and would make more sense. There is literally a scene in the beginning of the film when Annas back is turned and Hans is kindly looking at her from under the boat in the water.
That's likely a remnant from his earlier characterization. The animators admitted that he wasn't originally supposed to be a villain. He got swapped out for Elsa so they could play up the sisterly bond angle. This headcannon does a great job of resolving their gaffe.
Yes! Also the part after helping the people during the snow he was defending Anna when the Duke was giving false rumors and after he was gone Hans looked back at the mountains worried about Anna, NO ONE was looking at him so he wasn’t ‘acting’ in that part
It's actually heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the same time to know that this conspiracy is the type that a person who cannot spot Manipulation and live in a very close-knitted community would actually make. Just because the trolls are kept mysterious in the plot for having such abilities and lived far away from civilisation, they're naturally suspected for foul play. And the amount of easy trust you put to a creature that looks and groomed like you, it's telling... Back to the topic, if the trolls were to jinx Hans, they have to get close to him to work the magic, which evidently they never stumbled across each other. Manipulation includes mixing truth and lies to make their story trustworthy and easy to twist. I was also fooled by Hans, *not gonna lie,* but if after all of the plot and still try to believe his innocence is just a more definite proof that his manipulation really does works! So in a sense, this is not a conspiracy, but a proof of how manipulative the character Hans is 👍👍👍
i think it was his intention from the start. He found Anna to be an easy target so he took the chance he had. You can hear in “Love is an open door” when he sings the line “we finish each other’s-“ and gets cut off by Anna saying “Sandwiches.” His face goes confused but ultimately goes with it. Obviously the line was meant to be “Sentences” but i feel like this his confusion hinted at him going along with what she said just so she liked him more and more, up until he proposed.
This guy can easily connect frozen and Star Wars by saying that Hans survived, turned his name to Han Solo and went to space using magic.There he made a new start.The people who Han Solo owes are actually the people who turned him back to life and helped him escape earth. !😮😮😮😮😮😮😮!
Not too much of a stretch. Remember that Hans doesn't have a last name, neither did Han til the Solo movie. And they are so fricking similar in appearance, voice and personality. Both are womanizers, falling in love with women because they're famous or rich. Perhaps Han pretended to like Anna to become King of Arendelle, when Anna becomes Queen. Maybe Han/Hans wanted to marry Anna only for fame. And Leia wasn't your typical princess. She was tough, strong and sarcastic, as he was. It also adds weight to the line "Do you think a princess and a guy like me could-" He's genuinely asking, because last time he tried to marry a princess, it was for the glory, this time it's for the fortune. Fortune and glory...
Their magic only seems to work if they touch the person. Hans was evil since the beggining. He said being the 16th he does not inherit the throne... he had a reason
I admit you're right, but there's another thing I realised just now: when Hans was small, he was literally jealous of trolls' and Elsa's magic powers, so when he grew up older, he made a plan how to destroy friendship between Anna and Elsa. That could possibly mean that Hans was using Anna from the start before he locked up Elsa in cell room in the middle of movie. In fact, if Hans could kill Elsa, he thought he would obtain her powers, but he failed. That's what I think about the theory, so I could add my version to yours.
That makes sense. Maybe he never would have made his whole Evil Villain Monologue if the trolls hadn't intervened, and just kept gaslighting Anna until the bitter end (quite literally).
That is more believable since they have magic to posibly see through minds, like they did to baby Anna when elsa froze her and see the future as they saw the future of elsa
There's a comment here that explains the writers I think planned the whole thing for Elsa and Hans to symbolize they were hiding something where Elsa hides her secret powers with her gloves while Hans with his true in intentions. Don't wanna go into full detail with what they said but the comment I'm talking about is at the bottom of the first comment.
It’s because originally they were gonna make Elsa the villian, like in the original story, but halfway through they changed it and so that’s why Hans is genuinely kind in the beginning
I was going to put that. The reason they also changed it was because "Let it go" didn't fit with who Elsa's character was going to be so they made her the hero. The creators also said somewhere they wanted to give Hans a redemption probably because they had to change him to make him a villain.
They didn't change it "halfway through", that plan was changed before they began actually shooting the movie. It was originally based o The Snow Queen, but they recognized as they were putting the screenplay and music together that it was more interesting if Elsa wasn't a villain. Hans's intentions are planted from the start (i.e. warnings not to marry so soon, his interest in finding his "place", the way he happily takes over) The groundwork is established and the intention from the first scene is for him to become a villain, they just didn't want to give it away too early.
No it isn't. Stop spreading that misinformation. You're all so simple-minded to think they made the movie halfway then changed their mind. They ditched the villainElsa plot during brainstorming, Hans was always meant to be the villain when they actually started with animating the movie.
In the song Anna sings with Hans, one of the first things he mentions is that all his life hes been looking for his own place (knowing he'll never rule in his own land). Its all he wanted from the begining. He never cared for her.
I thought almost the same thing cause I noticed how he seemed to really care about Anna at the beginning and I feel like it wasn’t until Anna went after Elsa and leaves Hans in charge that he felt in control then became evil when he realized what he can become if gets rid of both Elsa and anna
Pay attention to the long he sings at the beginning, he is clearly intending for the palace to be his. "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" while turning and pointing out the kingdom around him. He was 13th in line and that was his only shot.
People have no idea about how characterisation works. Hans explains he is the last of a line of boys and will inherit little so he came to the castle with the intention to woo one of the sisters. Everything happening works to his advantage as he doesn’t want the girl, ever, he wants the thrown. He was just good at turning on the charm, nothing genuine about it.
If all he wanted was the throne, he didn't have to go after Elsa; Anna had already left him in charge and the people loved him. He didn't have to save Elsa's life on the mountain, and he didn't have to preserve her legitimacy by stopping her from murdering the Duke's men. Even when he visits her in her cell the first time, he doesn't try anything violent. It's only after he interacts with Anna for the first time after the troll song that he turns evil.
@@nocrtnamethe creators already confirmed that Hanz wears gloves like Elsa to show he is hiding something (his true intentions) so when Anna is dying he takes off his gloves, explains his plans to her, then puts them back on and leaves. Everything he did was manipulation. He was left in charge but if Anna came back then he'd lose that power, so he had to make sure she was dead in order to fully inherit the throne. He most likely didnt try anything on Elsa in the cell because she wasn't going to become queen if she was a prisoner, so he had no reason to kill her. Until she escaped.
@@bonD6002 That may have been their intent, but the story that came out doesn't jive with it. If Anna came back she would marry him, and if she didn't come back, he'd be able to declare himself ruler since she left him in charge. No need to risk his life going to get her, which he does, quite bravely, in fact, when he charges up the steps and fights the ice monster when he spots the Duke's guards heading inside. After all, there was no need to save Elsa's life when her being dead meant Anna, his fiancee, would become queen. No need to explain his plan to Anna at the end; he just had to marry her, and wait. Also, Hans' gloves do not explain explains why the northern lights suddenly vanish at the end of the troll song. The troll theory is the one that best fits the events of the film.
@@nocrtname The northen lights vanish at the end of the song because its just for dramatic effect to show the magic or make the scene more interesting. Also the trolls mind manipulation magic only works if they physically touch the person's head like they did with Anna. They never touched Hanz, otherwise he would've said something about it in the movie to give us more to speculate from.
@@bonD6002 Dramatic effect to show the magic of the spell they put in Anna to curse Hans when he tries to kiss her. No touch necessary. Look at the picture of the troll in Agnarr's book. It's like an evil spirit manipulating the mind of the person on the bed, without touching him. The trolls are totally up to no good, and they can manipulate the minds of people. If they were on the up and up, they would have simply told the king and queen and Elsa from the get-go that love thaws ice. But they didn't.
That was proven to be false by the film's directors. There's a tie-in book, "A Frozen Heart" that also shows why Hans was so cruel. Apparently his father, the king approved of his elder children bullying the weaker, younger ones. If that wasn't bad enough, the only members of Hans' family who genuinely showed him any kindness were his mother and third-eldest brother, Lars. The others, such as his eldest brother Caleb and the younger twins, Rudi and Runo, bullied him the most. As a result, this abuse turned Hans into a truly callous and heartless man who craved power as a means of escaping his family.
Y’all aren’t getting it. He did that as an ACT! That lead to him imprisoning her and when Anna came and “died,” he put the blame on Elsa so he could kill her while looking innocent
the trolls needed physical contact to manipulate Anna's memories though. Plus Hans says he is the youngest of so many brothers, meaning logically the only way he could ever attain a throne would be through this sort of treachery, through a betrothal/marriage to Anna, then discrediting/killing Else (though I wonder how the line of succession would be explained, since he's not a native - being a royal from another domain doesn't mean that you're automagically coronated in a foreign realm) and he was ready to leave Anna to freeze to death before he sought Else out to finish her off on the fjord
Actually, the writers cleverly implement real manipulation tactics in Hans from the start, as he says things like "I wouldn't hurt you like they would." This is a thing that real people do in bad relationships to inflict doubt on one's support structures.
I’m honestly convinced now that EVERY Disney villain was actually the HERO of the story, disguised to make children and viewers believe the evils of the world!
Actually in some cases I can see that. But in like Cinderella, 101 Dalmatians, snow White, tangled I do believe the villains r truly villains. In a case like with scar from lion King it is actually canon that dark maned lion's are more wanted than light maned lion's which means mufasa did something stupid to make scar the bad guy and make everyone turn against scar. In little Mermaid it is canon from the comics that Morgana and Ursula are Triton's younger siblings which whatever triton did to piss them off turned them into villains at that point. Maleficent wanted revenge on Stefan and his wife for taking her wings and since she couldn't do anything too terrible she made a somewhat less deadly curse fall over Aurora as Aurora was key to the kingdom.
I think they’ll be doing that more in the future. Some of the themes are also like “in order to survive you have to betray people. Whether it’s by violence or manipulation.” Also they’re sexualizing a lot of these Disney shows/movies. One of the older movies I fondly remember as a kid was “the road to el Dorado” which had a pretty intimate/mature scene for it being rated PG. not even PG-13 which would’ve made more sense. I vividly remember thinking isn’t this what adults do? I thought this was for kids and I check to make sure it was PG. I’m not even surprised anymore with what’s going on. Anything dealing with brainwashing, programming and confusing kids is very demonic.
Y'all keep saying it was his plan from the start but it wasn't. Not until he realized how alone she was without any real support. His ambition from the start was too have a kingdom. When he saw the opportunity with Anna, he flipped the script. He didn't plan it from the start. Circumstances just led him there.
This is a very legit fan theory, because Hans also had opportunities when he was alone to kill Elsa, and didn’t. So it makes sense that he was changed.
Its in the song Hans sings in the beginning. Hans had a plan to use Anna from the start, because of Elsa though he formulated a new plan since he could become king easier.
No cus in the song “love is an open door”, there’s a part where it says “you and I were meant to be.” But Hans is the one that says “you” and Anna is the one that says “and I”. Then they both say “meant to be.” Sooo he was evil all along
During Love Is An Open Door, Hans says ‘you’ and Anna says ‘And I’ yk finishing sentences But meaning just Anna He was never really a part of it and he never wanted to be, he just wanted the throne
Although, this is a great way to think of it, but People would play with other emotions and feelings. They will tell you they Love you then go out and say they hate you. He was acting because he wanted the crown, he wanted everything that came with it.
In fact it's the only explanation that does work. There are many things he did before that scene, that had he planned to take over the kingdom and didn't actually care, he wouldn't have done. The most obvious one is his smile when he lifts the boat after meeting Anna. There's nobody around to see play it up for and Anna is walking away. It's a genuine smile for a himself, and does not reflect the smile from someone who's thinking they found their target or anything like that.
My biggest gripe with Frozen was that Hans seemed like a completely diffrent character at the end and it felt like Disney wanted to force a twist villain
Nah... cause Hans was singing "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place..." and talking about all his brothers moving into the palace. It was all premeditated, he took Anna for an idiot. Still say she should have just pushed him into the water when she first met him.
But when he meets Anna, his outfit matches Elsa's coronation outfit, because he was going to go after her. It's only after, when they go to meet Elsa that his outfit matches Annas. It was hinting his plans to take over the kingdom from the beginning.
No Hans was a manipulative man from the beginning....in the song " love is an open door"he says "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" this was the revelation of his true nature. Later when he was assured that all Arendelle people were depending upon him he showed his true colours.
What’s the BEST DISNEY MOVIE?? 😱
I love Hercules, Frozen and Mulan 😮
Cars on top
Encanto is my go-to movie
@@Timmay680I absolutely agree
This is content?
Actually, the writers addressed this.Gloves are an important detail in the movie. Elsa and Hans used gloves to hide something. Elsa was hiding her powers, and Hans was hiding his true intentions. He takes his gloves off when he refuses to kiss Anna. Then he puts them on again when he walks out of the room. Look it up
That’s actually a really cool little detail, I never noticed that
I noticed he did that, but I never knew why thank you for explaining that
I think I need to watch the movie again. From this video, Hans have his gloves in anna's chin for the kiss
@@trishatalaroc2968 After he says "If there was someone out there who loves you" he takes one glove off to put off the candle with his finger while explaining his real plans and doesn't put it back on until he's about to leave.

He was just acting though, his plan was to betray her from the start
:P
Right 👍
Yes and the trolls might have known this already so I doubt there is any way they put a spell on Hans and besides at the beginning when she and him talk he even says that he was the youngest brother of 12 and that he wasn't in line for the throne for a while. so why not take a kingdom for yourself
It's just a " what if "
Yes, but i like this theory😂❤
10 YEARS!!! It feels like that movie came out 4 years ago 😭
Exactly! I feel so old now 😭
Exactly!

@@AcidTheDragonLife is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
It's been 10 years?!😮
Fun fact there is a book about Agnar and Iduna's life before and slightly after their daughter birth. In said book, Agnar says, " many people were after the throne of Arendelle including The southern ilse," so the trolls didn't manipulate anything in Hans mind. Hans even says "I originally was going to go after Elsa but no one was getting anywhere with her, so I turned my sights on to you. You were so desperate it almost made it too easy." Therefore Hans was allways after the thron.
Do you know the name of the book??
@@shantellkluin2093 its frozen 2: dangerous secrets
I have to rewatch both. I missed that
His lines in their duet are literally "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" and while she is admiring him he reiterates "I've found my place"
His motives are subtle but there the whole time
Hans said, "but you"
And Anna said "and I"
So the song is quite literally a joke no one really got
@@Strawberry1sDead where exactly is that? In "love is an open door" they both say "but with you" and the only real difference is that he admires her position while she focuses on him.
Edit: Perhaps you mean the "you - and I - were - just -meant to be" part, however Hans doesn't say "but" prior to the word "you," it's all played pretty straight after the intro
Yup. I caught onto that the first time I saw the movie. I turned to my sister and whispered "you know, he didn't actually say he loved her".
Yes! I remember listening to the song for the first time , thinking what an odd thing to say considering it was the first time they were declaring feelings for each other !
Yessss
He was acting from the start
While they are singing, Hans starts saying "I mean it's crazy, we finish each other's..." and Anna quickly answers "...sandwiches!" with Hans adding a fake "That's what I was gonna say!".
Of course that's not what he wanted to say, but he had to pretend he did so Anna would feel like they really had a "connection", you see, that was the whole thing about Hans, he wanted Anna and everyone else believe that he truly loved Anna, so when he eventually betrayed her and Elsa and take over the kingdom it would appear as he had no other choice, like he planned on the end of the movie.
So explain the goofy love struck grin Hans has under the boat when no one can see him?
@rosestar1324 he was plotting…

@@PizzaMadeMeFat bruh he's a manipulative liar, that's what they do, how are you still not getting that yet?
Hans is doing something called love bombing. It’s a very common abuse tactic where in someone goes very, very hard at being affectionate and thoughtful only to suddenly flip the switch as soon as they’ve got their target where they belong.
It’s hammy how Hans turns so suddenly “evil” but it’s pretty obvious he knew what he was doing.
In “Love is an Open Door”
Hans: “you” (referring to Anna)
Anna: “and I” (referring to herself)
Continued: “We’re just meant to be…”
Anna and Anna? Yeah he literally said from the beginning “you’re meant to be without me”.

Dude😂😂😂
Best example of quality over quantity 😂

Overthinker be like:
Actually it was pretty clear he was purposely trying to fool her.
When they sang "love is an open door", he was clearly trying to make advances and win favour, while walking on eggshells around her, and he stopped as soon as he didn't need to.
Love is an open door, Hans makes his intentions clear when he motions with wide swept arms to tje kingdom of Arendelle while singing, "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place"
As in "I'm going to make this place mine." Hans was a bad guy right from the beginning.
Also, What's Duke Weselton hiding? (since someone pointed out that gloves are used to convey 'hidden secrets') If I had to guess- probably his sick dance moves XD
Fun Fact: In the original draft of Frozen, Hans was never going to be the villain.
What was he then?
You see, I think Hans could kiss Anna for mantain the appearence.
Beacuse, since he didn't love her, well, it wouldn't work.
@@tenientemantequilla4307 That's the thing, Hans was only supposed to be Anna's fiance and that's it. Elsa was originally the villain, just like in the original story of The Snow Queen. They changed it last minute because they came up with the song "Let It Go" half way through production. After that they didn't wanna make Elsa the villain anymore and just used Hans instead. Which made absolutely no sense, because even in scenes where it's just Hans by himself we don't see any signs of him starting to turn on Anna, which pisses me off. And this is why I hate Disney's twist villains.
@@Alo-Alois I think they made a very good choice making Hans the villain and Elsa good. Elsa is a beautiful and powerful character and making her evil would have not been a great story for children. Who cares about the original story? It turned out very cool and this movie wasn’t so popular for nothing.
@@Alo-Alois I feel like it makes him an even better villain. There are little hints of him being manipulative, and everything he does fits with his plot. That smile after meeting Anna for the first time could be seen as "Nice, getting in with this royal family is gonna be evil. This princess is so ready to be loved she won't see me coming. So even if I fail with her sister this plan could still work."
And he just follows her lead the whole time and is whoever she wants him to be.
Why shouldn't Disney have less obvious villains who are more subtle and manipulative?
This is a safe way to introduce kids to betrayal and the idea that just because you seem to get along with people right from the start, doesn't mean they're good for you.
And thank F**k he wasn't just her fiance after just meeting. Cinema has a rich history of normalising getting attached too quickly. Especially for movies targeted to younger people.
@HiGummbi It would've been better if they showed his intentions instead of just throwing the random evilness in there. If you actually want to see how that lesson plays out, then I suggest watching either Gravity Falls or The Owl House. They do it way better. The fact that Hans just becomes a villain out of literally nowhere is the worst twist ever and doesn't work at all. There are multiple videos that will explain why. And that little smile at the beginning? That's literally what makes it horrible because that's an endearing smile that Anna doesn't even see. So what's the point in smiling like that if she doesn't see it. And he's constantly is in disagreement with The Duke of Weselton, so again, what's the point? It's very obvious that they changed the plot halfway through at that point, which they did.
“GET THE FIANCÉ OUTTA THE WAY” and he did😂💀
Ohhhh! Shizz! THATS what the trolls said?? Lol i mean the theory could make sense. But i always thought he was a narcissitically abusive asshole.
Anna did that at the end. "The only frozen heart around here is YOURS." (punches in the face, causing Hans to fall off the boat, and in that SHE _got him out the way_ )
HANS should be the central hero and
main protagonist of the next Frozen movie.
Actually why I find Hans is an underrated villain.
He isn't as big puppeteery as other iconic villains were.
He is an oppertunist, moving with the punches as quickly as he can. He does also say he would have married Anna and probably get along enough with her to not off Anna, but Elsa would have had to go one way or the other.
You have seen when Hans came in the starting he’s wearing clothes that matches Elsa’s clothes so he was after the Queen but when he met Anna, he changed his mind because Elsa didn’t like any man
"Any man "or a man she just met lol😂
@@soumya5832 if I would say that she doesn’t like men then it would be l like she likes women and that’s not a great thing to say course it’s False so yeah I am right
@@soumya5832 And what is this sentence a man she doesn’t like a MaN! You are confusing, me Man

No, this is a stretch because when he reveals his intentions he says how being the last of 12 he would never have a chance at a kingdom so he was manipulating Anna to marry him so he can take over as king of arendale (or however you spell it)
Wow so you mean AFTER the song turns him evil he revealed his evil intentions?? 🤔🤔 modern day genius.
It could be that the trolls made him think that
But the thing is, that’s not how kingdoms work. Hans didn’t marry Anna so he wouldn’t be king. It would make no sense for Hans to get to be king because why in the world would a kingdom make a the last of 12 princes from a completely different king? Also he wasn’t dating Elsa he was dating Anna. He could’ve token the kingdom over a while ago but he didn’t. He saved Elsa from being killed at one point which makes no sense
@@YourCommonSinnerThe song never turned him evil that’s just a false theory
@@SqueakyA51. Hans was going to kill Elsa
2. Everyone believed he was her true love AND they were engaged
My sister and I have the theory that one of his many siblings is actually his twin. The original Hans actually cares about Anna, but then the twin comes, switches places, and he becomes "evil Hans." The last time we see the real Hans is when he's handing out blankets to the villagers
So many good points from top comments on here about gloves concealing true intentions (Mickey wears gloves), and Love is an Open Door's hidden meanings.
I think the trolls idea is clever, and can exist as head cannon.
I wondered for awhile if the scene where Hans protected Elsa from being shot by a crossbow, and the chandelier fell, if one of the ice shards pierced Hans' heart, "freezing" it. Hans coulda let Elsa die in a murder and his plan would have played out just fine. Why go through the trouble to save her from being shot?
He saved her to pretend to be good in front of the guards, he wanted to look like he is fair and she is evil. That’s y
Actually before the movie came out my aunt knew that Hans was going to be a villain because she knows the guy who voiced him. He accidentally started talking about it and it was overheard. So he actually is a villain.
But there is this one song sentence where Anna sings we finish each others “sandwiches”, Hans meant to say sentences. This is when Hans realised how naive Anna was. He could potentially show fake love and rule Arrendele. All he needed to do was to get Elsa out of the way. And when they discovered Elsa's power, Hans will have the perfect opportunity to rule Arrendele.
Eh, sandwiches works too and can be taken as a joke. That doesn't really add much evidence in my opinion
@@albaestrada8603well it's a play on the words "were close, because we finish each other's sentences". So not evidence, but it's supposed to be funny, because everyone was expecting him to say sentences before she cut him off, which seems like evidence, although not hard evidence
That kind of makes sense though, although he could be a twist villain, like he goes from nice and caring to evil and daring. He wanted arendelle all to himself and manipulated Anna into thinking that he loves her so he could end her and her sister in the end to become a king.
That "It took me 10 years to realise" never gets old 😂❤
In the song Love Is An Open Door, Hans talks about finding his own place and motions to Arendalle. His goal was ALWAYS to be King. He never loved her
He wouldn't have been king anyway. Only prince consort
@@Linoluvsss no he would've been king with Elsa and likely Anna out of the way he would've been declared king not prince consort. he was either going to be king or sent back to his brothers having failed his objective of becoming king
@@ricky_peck_9438 no, because he has no Royal blood. If he marries anna end both sisters die it will go to either Anna's oldest child or the royalty would end.
Mate, I'm British, I think I know how monarchies work 🧍🏻♀️
I know everyone says he was acting, but if so, why would he risk his own life for Elsa when the Duke's men are about to kill her? Anna wasn't there, he could have easily just "accidentally" taken a few seconds longer so that Elsa got killed. But he helped her not only by stopping her from hurting the men (which would have made everyone turn against her & helped him really) but then warned her about the other shot that sent the chandelier falling. He could have let her die if that was his plan all along & still would have come off as the hero who just couldn't save her. Or let her kill the men & manipulated the situation to make her look evil like everyone already thought. He literally had nothing to gain by saving her in that moment if he had planned to kill her all along like he said in the end.
I don't remember it fully, but I saw this theory once.
Hans is one of many brothers in line to be King in his kingdom. He would never be King there because of all people before him in the line since he was one of the youngest.
I don't recall it why or how, but he knew about a mysterious and shy princess from the neighboring kingdom. And he started to have this platonic love and curiosity towards Elsa. Later on, their parents dies, news everywhere but no sign of the princess till the day of her coronation.
Then Hans goes to Arindelle to meet Elsa, who he always had the platonic feeling.
But he meet Anna thinking she was Elsa.
With all this being said, Hans' plans was meet the platonic love of his life, Elsa, marrying her and became a king in other place because in his kingdom the line was too long. But everything turns upside down when he envolves himself with Anna, the youngest princess, insted of Elsa, the older princess and future queen of Arindelle.
So he couldn't hurt Elsa because he wanted to be the king, so he had to have a good reputation to be worth of the throne. And maybe he couldn't kill her because of his heart. At the end is possible to see this kinda glimpse, like with Anna he left her to die with such cold blood, but when he tries to reach out Elsa in prison he was much softer and delicate with her.
So.... this theory is quite something to think about 😂
You have to gain trust in order to manipulate.
@@an4c3cilia76wow😮 I never thought of that, tbh I just like to enjoy the movie and I don't really think about the theories but this just made wanna see the movie again and see it myself
You're wrong. He just did that because he thought that only Elsa could stop the winter and bring back summer...
No, he was trying to get her to stop the winter. That's one of the first things he says when he sees her in prison, but when he realizes she can't, he orders her to death.
During the song, Kristiff says, "SHES ENGAGED TO SOMEONE ELSE" and then the trolls say that long and continue to ship Anna and Kristoff...
Hans says he would of preferred elsa but she was impossible, but Anna was easy to manipulate, so he went after her instead. He spells it out in the movie
I could honestly believe him feeling a little bit of sympathy for Anna whilst still deciding to use her regardless of said feelings. Like, he's got the whole 'I'm the youngest and I don't have anything compared to my brothers' thing going on - after seeing the way Anna acts after being isolated according to Elsa's rules, it's not unbelievable that he might project a bit of his own story onto what he sees of hers, and relate to her somewhat. It doesn't need to be enough of a connection to make him change his mind about his plans, for it to still be there.
This makes sense.
That's actually a good message on not all manipulators are empathyless sociopaths
@@revimfadli4666Hans is tho. He knew Anna was dying and left her to die, thinking thats exactly what happened, while he then attempted to kill Elsa. He's not empathetic, he only wanted the throne.
Also yes all manipulators are sociopathic and lack empathy, because the whole thing about manipulation is to trick people for selfish gain. 1 example is how Hans manipulates Anna into trusting him by defending her from the Duke. I get that some people use manipulation for good causes, but when we hear the term "manipulator" its usually referring to the whole personality of the person, like a narcissist.
Ok but a really good indicator that Hans wanted the throne was when him and Anna first interacted, “if you were to bump into my sister Elsa, yeesh, but lucky for you ITS JUST ME” and Hans took that as she is the only heir SO he wouldn’t have to kill Elsa cause she didn’t exist in Hans mind. But when Hans found out about Elsa and Anna was sick and the one guy says “you are all Arendelle has left” he could push his way to the top by taking out Elsa and Anna. Elsa freaking out and showing her powers was a bonus cause the kingdom was already against her cause the Duke of Weselton make a bad image for her. BOOM
Btw he mentioned that as he is the 13th child his own 12 big brothers won't let him be a king so he has the only way to be crowned if he marries a queen, but Elsa always knocked people out from herself and Anna is searching for love life since she was a kid, so his deceitful plan was created from the beginning.
In fact, he didn't want to kill anyone all by himself, Anna is about to die and he shows that Elsa is the reason of her dying, he just blurted out that Elsa is a witch. She had killed her sister because Hans's planned was to announce she's harmful and people made him to give her death sentence
I genuinely liked Hans for Anna if only he did not turned evil.
Same
Me too… I simp ngl
Breaks my heart every time!😅😢
Naah, the first moment Kristoff appeared (as an adult) it was obvious Hans wasn't going to end up with Anna, and especially bc Kristoff talked with Anna about her early relationship with Hans and he also showed some interest in her 🤷
@@adrianamontalvo7472 of course. Disney already made a hint showing them together as kids. I just thought Hans & Anna looked good together
He was planning to betray her from the start which is why he proposed the night of Elsa’s coronation
this voice over gives me chills😮💨😅 everytime
Elsa was originally supposed to be the villain of the movie. After hearing the song let it go, they rewrote parts of the movie to make Elsa the hero, which is why you see such a drastic change in Hans.
Hans seems like a good guy in the beginning because he was originally not supposed to be the villain: Elsa was. So when they changed things, he remains very trustworthy-seeming. I enjoy this about him, actually: it was refreshing to be taken by surprise.
fr I was flabbergasted as a kid back then 😂
In the original story there’s a weird mirror that gets stuck in someone’s eye. He’s all mirror-like with anyone who he’s with. Except when he removes his gloves and looks at his reflection.

@@sophialavreniouk6110It was a shard of the devil's mirror.

I love Frozen so much.
That shot of his face looking lovingly at Anna as she leaves when they first met! No one’s supposed to be around to see this. It makes no sense on second rewatch if he is just trying to trick her. If he made an unreadable expression or the scene literally cut as he fell into the water, then we can know he always had this plan and was acting. But the loving gaze he makes when he’s alone? The movie didn’t need to include this. He must have genuinely liked Anna up to a point.
Damn this would've been the best frozen 2 plot twist 😂

This would be so much better, and would make more sense. There is literally a scene in the beginning of the film when Annas back is turned and Hans is kindly looking at her from under the boat in the water.
That's likely a remnant from his earlier characterization. The animators admitted that he wasn't originally supposed to be a villain. He got swapped out for Elsa so they could play up the sisterly bond angle. This headcannon does a great job of resolving their gaffe.
Isn’t that just build up to the climax of the story though?? It’s supposed to look like that
Yes! Also the part after helping the people during the snow he was defending Anna when the Duke was giving false rumors and after he was gone Hans looked back at the mountains worried about Anna, NO ONE was looking at him so he wasn’t ‘acting’ in that part

@@Readysetgo2007 to marry her? Probably
It's actually heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the same time to know that this conspiracy is the type that a person who cannot spot Manipulation and live in a very close-knitted community would actually make.
Just because the trolls are kept mysterious in the plot for having such abilities and lived far away from civilisation, they're naturally suspected for foul play. And the amount of easy trust you put to a creature that looks and groomed like you, it's telling...
Back to the topic, if the trolls were to jinx Hans, they have to get close to him to work the magic, which evidently they never stumbled across each other. Manipulation includes mixing truth and lies to make their story trustworthy and easy to twist. I was also fooled by Hans, *not gonna lie,* but if after all of the plot and still try to believe his innocence is just a more definite proof that his manipulation really does works!
So in a sense, this is not a conspiracy, but a proof of how manipulative the character Hans is 👍👍👍
i think it was his intention from the start. He found Anna to be an easy target so he took the chance he had. You can hear in “Love is an open door” when he sings the line “we finish each other’s-“ and gets cut off by Anna saying “Sandwiches.” His face goes confused but ultimately goes with it. Obviously the line was meant to be “Sentences” but i feel like this his confusion hinted at him going along with what she said just so she liked him more and more, up until he proposed.
Even the whole "Hans being rotten to the core" deak with canon, this is an incredibly great AU idea!
This guy can easily connect frozen and Star
Wars by saying that Hans survived, turned his name to Han Solo and went to space using magic.There he made a new start.The people who Han Solo owes are actually the people who turned him back to life and helped him escape earth.
!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮!
Not too much of a stretch. Remember that Hans doesn't have a last name, neither did Han til the Solo movie. And they are so fricking similar in appearance, voice and personality. Both are womanizers, falling in love with women because they're famous or rich. Perhaps Han pretended to like Anna to become King of Arendelle, when Anna becomes Queen. Maybe Han/Hans wanted to marry Anna only for fame. And Leia wasn't your typical princess. She was tough, strong and sarcastic, as he was. It also adds weight to the line "Do you think a princess and a guy like me could-" He's genuinely asking, because last time he tried to marry a princess, it was for the glory, this time it's for the fortune.
Fortune and glory...

Their magic only seems to work if they touch the person. Hans was evil since the beggining. He said being the 16th he does not inherit the throne... he had a reason
Also he smiled like a goof after she left and he lands in the water under the boat where absolutely no one could see him.
Hans is like a werewolf when I see his face
I admit you're right, but there's another thing I realised just now: when Hans was small, he was literally jealous of trolls' and Elsa's magic powers, so when he grew up older, he made a plan how to destroy friendship between Anna and Elsa. That could possibly mean that Hans was using Anna from the start before he locked up Elsa in cell room in the middle of movie. In fact, if Hans could kill Elsa, he thought he would obtain her powers, but he failed.
That's what I think about the theory, so I could add my version to yours.
Or maybe they just helped to reveal his true colors?
Maybe
That makes sense. Maybe he never would have made his whole Evil Villain Monologue if the trolls hadn't intervened, and just kept gaslighting Anna until the bitter end (quite literally).
That sounds better lol
That is more believable since they have magic to posibly see through minds, like they did to baby Anna when elsa froze her and see the future as they saw the future of elsa
This makes a lot a sense, cause he really doesn't start acting like a villain until after Anna and kristoff see the trolls.
Actually writers didn't plan Hans to be the villain in the beginning that's why he seems genuine
This really makes me think. Who knows? Could be revealed
There's a comment here that explains the writers I think planned the whole thing for Elsa and Hans to symbolize they were hiding something where Elsa hides her secret powers with her gloves while Hans with his true in intentions.
Don't wanna go into full detail with what they said but the comment I'm talking about is at the bottom of the first comment.
It’s because originally they were gonna make Elsa the villian, like in the original story, but halfway through they changed it and so that’s why Hans is genuinely kind in the beginning
I was going to put that. The reason they also changed it was because "Let it go" didn't fit with who Elsa's character was going to be so they made her the hero. The creators also said somewhere they wanted to give Hans a redemption probably because they had to change him to make him a villain.
They didn't change it "halfway through", that plan was changed before they began actually shooting the movie. It was originally based o The Snow Queen, but they recognized as they were putting the screenplay and music together that it was more interesting if Elsa wasn't a villain.
Hans's intentions are planted from the start (i.e. warnings not to marry so soon, his interest in finding his "place", the way he happily takes over) The groundwork is established and the intention from the first scene is for him to become a villain, they just didn't want to give it away too early.
0@@brennaflaherty8871
No it isn't. Stop spreading that misinformation. You're all so simple-minded to think they made the movie halfway then changed their mind. They ditched the villainElsa plot during brainstorming, Hans was always meant to be the villain when they actually started with animating the movie.
I think Hans was really good from the start but he was manipulated by others saying if Anna and Elsa was gone, Hans will own the Arendelle
In the song Anna sings with Hans, one of the first things he mentions is that all his life hes been looking for his own place (knowing he'll never rule in his own land). Its all he wanted from the begining. He never cared for her.
I thought almost the same thing cause I noticed how he seemed to really care about Anna at the beginning and I feel like it wasn’t until Anna went after Elsa and leaves Hans in charge that he felt in control then became evil when he realized what he can become if gets rid of both Elsa and anna
Could be but in the song “love is an open door” Hans is only talking about wanting to get his own place and not about Anna ❤️
huh
Pay attention to the long he sings at the beginning, he is clearly intending for the palace to be his. "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" while turning and pointing out the kingdom around him. He was 13th in line and that was his only shot.
I haven’t watched this movie in years but it’s this is mindblowing
People have no idea about how characterisation works. Hans explains he is the last of a line of boys and will inherit little so he came to the castle with the intention to woo one of the sisters. Everything happening works to his advantage as he doesn’t want the girl, ever, he wants the thrown. He was just good at turning on the charm, nothing genuine about it.
If all he wanted was the throne, he didn't have to go after Elsa; Anna had already left him in charge and the people loved him. He didn't have to save Elsa's life on the mountain, and he didn't have to preserve her legitimacy by stopping her from murdering the Duke's men. Even when he visits her in her cell the first time, he doesn't try anything violent. It's only after he interacts with Anna for the first time after the troll song that he turns evil.
@@nocrtnamethe creators already confirmed that Hanz wears gloves like Elsa to show he is hiding something (his true intentions) so when Anna is dying he takes off his gloves, explains his plans to her, then puts them back on and leaves. Everything he did was manipulation. He was left in charge but if Anna came back then he'd lose that power, so he had to make sure she was dead in order to fully inherit the throne. He most likely didnt try anything on Elsa in the cell because she wasn't going to become queen if she was a prisoner, so he had no reason to kill her. Until she escaped.
@@bonD6002 That may have been their intent, but the story that came out doesn't jive with it. If Anna came back she would marry him, and if she didn't come back, he'd be able to declare himself ruler since she left him in charge. No need to risk his life going to get her, which he does, quite bravely, in fact, when he charges up the steps and fights the ice monster when he spots the Duke's guards heading inside. After all, there was no need to save Elsa's life when her being dead meant Anna, his fiancee, would become queen. No need to explain his plan to Anna at the end; he just had to marry her, and wait.
Also, Hans' gloves do not explain explains why the northern lights suddenly vanish at the end of the troll song.
The troll theory is the one that best fits the events of the film.
@@nocrtname The northen lights vanish at the end of the song because its just for dramatic effect to show the magic or make the scene more interesting. Also the trolls mind manipulation magic only works if they physically touch the person's head like they did with Anna. They never touched Hanz, otherwise he would've said something about it in the movie to give us more to speculate from.
@@bonD6002 Dramatic effect to show the magic of the spell they put in Anna to curse Hans when he tries to kiss her. No touch necessary. Look at the picture of the troll in Agnarr's book. It's like an evil spirit manipulating the mind of the person on the bed, without touching him.
The trolls are totally up to no good, and they can manipulate the minds of people. If they were on the up and up, they would have simply told the king and queen and Elsa from the get-go that love thaws ice. But they didn't.
And also they killed Sven,s mom to make kristof,s jacket and kristof felt bad for Sven so he kept him as a pet😢
I also think Kristoff mentioned right before that part of “Fixer Upper” that she was engaged to Hans.
“Enough! She is engaged to someone else, okay?!”
That was proven to be false by the film's directors. There's a tie-in book, "A Frozen Heart" that also shows why Hans was so cruel. Apparently his father, the king approved of his elder children bullying the weaker, younger ones. If that wasn't bad enough, the only members of Hans' family who genuinely showed him any kindness were his mother and third-eldest brother, Lars. The others, such as his eldest brother Caleb and the younger twins, Rudi and Runo, bullied him the most. As a result, this abuse turned Hans into a truly callous and heartless man who craved power as a means of escaping his family.
Hans says he wants elsa dead, but literally saves her from a crossbow attack right before fixer upper
Nah fr
Y’all aren’t getting it. He did that as an ACT! That lead to him imprisoning her and when Anna came and “died,” he put the blame on Elsa so he could kill her while looking innocent
@@YourpookieRy boi that crossbow was the perfect setup. Since it wasnt Hans who shot it, he would have been innocent anyway.
@@oplars6487 It wasn’t as Hans would still get in trouble for letting it happen
He probably did it look make her death look like an accident
the trolls needed physical contact to manipulate Anna's memories though. Plus Hans says he is the youngest of so many brothers, meaning logically the only way he could ever attain a throne would be through this sort of treachery, through a betrothal/marriage to Anna, then discrediting/killing Else (though I wonder how the line of succession would be explained, since he's not a native - being a royal from another domain doesn't mean that you're automagically coronated in a foreign realm) and he was ready to leave Anna to freeze to death before he sought Else out to finish her off on the fjord
It's a movie the last part doesn't have to exist in the fantasy world. Not everything is black and white in disney movies
What surprised me the most was that it’s been 10 years since Frozen came out!
Actually, the writers cleverly implement real manipulation tactics in Hans from the start, as he says things like "I wouldn't hurt you like they would." This is a thing that real people do in bad relationships to inflict doubt on one's support structures.
I’m honestly convinced now that EVERY Disney villain was actually the HERO of the story, disguised to make children and viewers believe the evils of the world!
Actually in some cases I can see that. But in like Cinderella, 101 Dalmatians, snow White, tangled I do believe the villains r truly villains. In a case like with scar from lion King it is actually canon that dark maned lion's are more wanted than light maned lion's which means mufasa did something stupid to make scar the bad guy and make everyone turn against scar. In little Mermaid it is canon from the comics that Morgana and Ursula are Triton's younger siblings which whatever triton did to piss them off turned them into villains at that point. Maleficent wanted revenge on Stefan and his wife for taking her wings and since she couldn't do anything too terrible she made a somewhat less deadly curse fall over Aurora as Aurora was key to the kingdom.
@@SabrinaBoyette-fy9vg I agree with you..
I think they’ll be doing that more in the future. Some of the themes are also like “in order to survive you have to betray people. Whether it’s by violence or manipulation.” Also they’re sexualizing a lot of these Disney shows/movies. One of the older movies I fondly remember as a kid was “the road to el Dorado” which had a pretty intimate/mature scene for it being rated PG. not even PG-13 which would’ve made more sense. I vividly remember thinking isn’t this what adults do? I thought this was for kids and I check to make sure it was PG. I’m not even surprised anymore with what’s going on. Anything dealing with brainwashing, programming and confusing kids is very demonic.
The live-action Peter Pan sort of did this with Hook and I loved it!
Everyone is the hero of their own story.
POV: You don’t know why this comment got so many likes 😨
And Sherlock holmes
Thank you ❤
What about L?
This guy good but Batman better
Frozen is not that old bro stop over dramaticing
That would also explain her lack of care for Kristoff, which only grows into the second film!
Y'all keep saying it was his plan from the start but it wasn't. Not until he realized how alone she was without any real support. His ambition from the start was too have a kingdom. When he saw the opportunity with Anna, he flipped the script. He didn't plan it from the start. Circumstances just led him there.
EVERY Disney movie has a small little plot twist that nobody notices except u
I agree it's always something crazy sad 😄
The Stabbington Brothers can be seen beside the Duke of weaselton, and this is after Tangled took place😂
This is a very legit fan theory, because Hans also had opportunities when he was alone to kill Elsa, and didn’t. So it makes sense that he was changed.
Its in the song Hans sings in the beginning. Hans had a plan to use Anna from the start, because of Elsa though he formulated a new plan since he could become king easier.
this is one crazy theory !
Yes 😮
@@its_ivanmars I love the theory.
Finally, a real timeline of how long it took someone to miss something in the movie! Frozen has officially turned 10 years, so that's accurate 🥰
Love frozen
I love the background music. So mysterious
No cus in the song “love is an open door”, there’s a part where it says “you and I were meant to be.” But Hans is the one that says “you” and Anna is the one that says “and I”. Then they both say “meant to be.” Sooo he was evil all along
Is it just me or is the dukes guard one of Hans brothers too? He looks at him and nods yes.
Omg true he should make a video about that
@@divyatabhatt3795 and they have crazy similarities as well
As someone who was a troll in 4th grade at my middle school’s Frozen play, I can confirm this to be canon.
During Love Is An Open Door, Hans says ‘you’ and Anna says ‘And I’ yk finishing sentences
But meaning just Anna
He was never really a part of it and he never wanted to be, he just wanted the throne
Although, this is a great way to think of it, but People would play with other emotions and feelings. They will tell you they Love you then go out and say they hate you. He was acting because he wanted the crown, he wanted everything that came with it.
This would be an awesome Frozen 3 plot twist!
Remember that without Hans, Anna cannot perform her act of true love and dies a frozen death.
In fact it's the only explanation that does work. There are many things he did before that scene, that had he planned to take over the kingdom and didn't actually care, he wouldn't have done. The most obvious one is his smile when he lifts the boat after meeting Anna. There's nobody around to see play it up for and Anna is walking away. It's a genuine smile for a himself, and does not reflect the smile from someone who's thinking they found their target or anything like that.
At beginning I literally thought anna is saying" It took me 10 years... "
It took me 10 years to realise Frozen 1 was connected with Frozen 2 😮
My biggest gripe with Frozen was that Hans seemed like a completely diffrent character at the end and it felt like Disney wanted to force a twist villain
Check the "love is an open door" anna sings for the both of them about love while hans only sings about what he wants - power.
*me rethinking my whole childhood*
That's a really dark theory 🙀😅
Nah... cause Hans was singing "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place..." and talking about all his brothers moving into the palace. It was all premeditated, he took Anna for an idiot. Still say she should have just pushed him into the water when she first met him.
But when he meets Anna, his outfit matches Elsa's coronation outfit, because he was going to go after her. It's only after, when they go to meet Elsa that his outfit matches Annas. It was hinting his plans to take over the kingdom from the beginning.
No Hans was a manipulative man from the beginning....in the song " love is an open door"he says "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place" this was the revelation of his true nature. Later when he was assured that all Arendelle people were depending upon him he showed his true colours.
