Elsa demonstrates powerful magical abilities from a young age. In Frozen, it's clear that Elsa's control over her power is directly related to the amount of control she has over her emotions. If Elsa is in a heightened emotional state, she can freeze entire landscapes without even being aware of what she's done.
Elsa is one of the most powerful Disney princesses thanks to her magical ice powers. The heiress to the Arendelle throne is easily capable of manipulating ice, snow, and water.
Who is physically stronger, Anna or Elsa (without powers)? Without a shadow of a doubt I would say: Anna. Elsa might be older and taller than Anna but at the end of the day, when they were growing up, she didn't do a lot.
Frozen II: Elsa is an Immortal Goddess | Fandom. In Frozen 2, Elsa dies and comes back to life, revealing not only is she the fifth spirit - alongside water, earth, air, and fire - but is immortal.
There are only a few other Princesses who also have magical powers and would be able to put up a fight against Elsa, but even they wouldn't be able to beat her. Rapunzel's hair-powers are impressive in Tangled and she has magical healing abilities.
The implication, and it's only ever just that, is that Elsa and Anna's mother is herself somehow attuned to the magical forces such that Elsa was given the gift of superpowers. (Why Anna never received such powers is equally vaguely defined: just as Elsa and Anna's father had no powers, so too would she be power-free.
Luckily, Elsa learns to control her powers and open her heart to love by the end of Frozen, while Frozen 2 explains that the origin of Elsa's power is her identity as a magical spirit (known simply as “the fifth spirit”) alongside fire, water, earth, and air.
She died and was reborn to take on her true form like has happened in so many stories before. With that transformation, Frozen 2 has made Elsa an immortal spirit now. Like how Frozen 2's other four spirits appear as animals but more than just that, Elsa still appears human but is more than just that.
Anna isn't immortal, but just an ordinary person despite how extraordinary her sister is. Kristoff is as ordinary as they come, along with everyone else in Arendelle. This means that Elsa is likely going to outlive all of them. She'll see Anna's kids grow up to take the throne, then even they'll die.
After Elsa finds out she is the fifth spirit in Frozen 2, a new Disney+ short reveals that Elsa wasn't the first fifth spirit to unite the elements. Frozen 2 revealed that Elsa is the Fifth Spirit — but not the first. Frozen 2 expands on the lore and people of Arendelle and delves into the franchise's elemental magic.
They are both highly intelligent. Elsa was groomed to be Queen from a early age, to the best that she could. This meant hours of lessons on government and diplomatic, probably from her parents but also a tutor. Anna would have received many of the same lessons, but probably not so intense, because she was the “spare”.
Overall, Elsa had the edge in power and lethality, but Jack outclasses her in speed, speed, experience, and durability. Here's the thing about this match-up: Elsa has little to no combat experience. Jack, however, has significant amounts. Pitch is no pushover, and Jack manages to stand up to him and take him down.
She knows how to control her power, even though Rapunzel has a lot of power and can control her power. Elsa has more control, and more power over Rapunzel. So sadly even though Rapunzel is the most original princess, the winner here is Elsa.
1. Mulan. Ah, the perfect epitome of women empowerment - Fa Mulan. This warrior Disney "princess" is fearless and badass, displaying her strength and wit despite her mother's constant reminder to act like a refined woman.
These strong female characters certainly have their weaknesses; they wouldn't be very interesting characters if they didn't. Elsa can be distant to the people she loves, she has trouble accepting help, and she fails to recognize her own limitations.
Comments1.5K. Elsa also has magic, hydrokinesis, telekinesis, ice fire emission, weather manipulation, cloth manipulation, clothing manipulation and vortex manipulation.
This changes in the fourth verse to “there's a MOTHER full of memory”. The river, which has already been proven to be the fifth spirit is the mother of Elsa, Queen Iduna.
According to Myth: A Frozen Tale, the fifth spirit is also known as the “human spirit”, but it is assumed to have been represented by humanity in general before Elsa and Anna's births. According to Northuldra legend, the spirits' mother is Ahtohallan.
It was after that the decision was made to fully commit to the voice calling to Elsa being that of her mother, Iduna. As Marc Smith, Frozen 2's Director of Story, notes in the documentary, the idea "unifies the movie" since it starts with a flashback featuring Iduna and Agnarr, and it brings those elements together.
As the Fifth Spirit, Elsa is able to awaken the four nature spirits of the forest: fire, air, water and earth. Despite her newfound connection with the elements, however, her powers are still primarily ice-based. In a movie all about change, Elsa's unchanging powers are a crack in an otherwise smooth narrative.
Of course, there's evidence in the movies that her powers aren't limited to that at all. For starters, Elsa demonstrates the ability to create life itself when she creates Olaf, imbuing him with the personality that she and Anna imagined for him when they were children.
Anna deduces that destroying the dam will release the enchanted forest from its curse and right the wrongs of the past. So that's what she does, with the help of the earth giants. When the dam breaks and the water begins to flow down the fjord, Elsa is freed from her frozen statue and her powers are returned to her.
She did lose her powers, when she went too far. Her powers left her at that moment, and she was literally trapped. And her powers where weakened in this story by the draugr. Frozen 3 will likely test Elsa's new power level against something of an even GREATER might.
