I do not own "Song of the Sea". It belongs to Timm Moore.
I do not own "Finding Nemo". It belongs to Pixar and Andrew Stanton.
I do not own "Moana". It belongs to Disney, Ron Clements and John Musker.

Ha ha ha! Finding Dory, Song of the Sea and Moana referenced in one comic. That's funny!

I'm glad you go the reference
It took a while to figure out all the different water references I could put in there,
to make it look like Beetle had to swim around the world to find the fish

A bit like climbing all throughout the World Tree to find its golden apples, only to find them a few paces away from where you started.

Yep, sometimes what you were looking for is right under your nose
In Beetle's case, what he was really looking for was the Breastplate Impenetrable
(Or rather, he was looking for Sariatu)

He discovered that it was okay if he DID NOT defeat the Moon King, deciding that he wanted to both be a hero AND a family man. Before, he was just a hero, doing great deeds for others but never thinking of his own wants and desires.

I like how you put it that way,
truly puts his adventures as a hero in a different light
Also, it makes it touching how he approved of Kubo's normal life taking care of his mother and telling stories
Because he approved that his son was the Every-Man sort of hero the world needs

Disney's Hercules got a lot of things wrong when it came to setting up their gods and monsters. If there is one thing they did right though, it's the lesson the film teaches. To be a true hero isn't about fighting monsters, training hard, or being famous; it's about putting the needs of others and their safety before your own. Sariatu shows this from the start of the film by doing her damnedest to keep Kubo warm and alive through a monstrous typhoon, disregarding her own health and well-being.

(Funny coincidence, I just watched a clip from "Clash of the Titans", where Hades appears at the party and declares he will unleash a monster on Argos)
Exactly!
Monkey even mentioned at some point that she couldn't swim. Yet, when Kubo dived into the lake to save Beetle, she was about to dive in herself!
As you pointed out, she was every bit as heroic as Hanzo and Kubo.
In fact, she's a role model that mothers can be heroes so long as they live and love their children

Truth, every word, about mothers being some of the greatest unsung heroes, in literature and in real life.

That was beautiful, what you just said there

Leto, Izanami (before she became ruler of death), Padma, and Freya are among the goddesses of world mythology who gave everything to protect or to avenge their children.

To protect their children, glad to know not all of them lost their children

I'm curious to know why he took on Tamatoa. Beetle doesn't have anything valuable/shiny on his person, and I can't imagine Tamatoa being away from Lalotai for any real reason. Unless he's now resorting to kleptoparasitism and is simply taking food from everyone around him? He does enjoy fish dinners, after all.

It's there merely for anachronism-humor prop.
Actually, they're all there as a testament of how far Beetle swam to chase his prize. He swam to Australia (Dory) America (Captain Cutler's Ghost) Ireland (Saoirse the selkie) and the Pacific Islands (Tamatoa). It's to exaggerate why it took him long to bring back the fish on the arrow.
Tamatoa took the fish on the arrow because he was simply going to eat it.
"This is a jekking!"

So THAT's why Beetle took so long getting that fish

Ah! Dory! Tamy! And those facial expressions!
[Consider the coconut though, Tamatoa is a coconut crab.]

Thanks!
[Maybe Beetle tricked Tamy to knock himself out. "Ooh look, what's that?" "Where??"]

I like when Beetle gets to be out of his element

You know, what you said about Trickster Beetle gave me an idea!
