Elsa does very well conversationally as she hadn't spoken to Anna in many years, hardly anyone in 3 years, yet she was better at conversation than Anna was. She initiated the conversation with Anna and asked about her, complimented her and bonded with her over a shared love of chocolate.
Elsa makes assumptions all the time. Elsa assumes she will hurt Anna again. Elsa assumes that people will kill her when her powers are revealed. ( All of this could be possible, but it could just as equally not happen. Elsa relies on her assumptions all of the time, though.) Also, liking chocolate is not exactly a great icebreaker, either. It is a factoid that goes on your blog, but as for showing real communication? A thirty second scene of 'hello, how are you?' 'I like your dress' and 'you like chocolate? I do, too' -- really is at the bottom rung of displaying great social skills. It's at the fairly basic level of communication.
Early on, Tiana prides herself on autonomy and being self-sufficient. She actively despises other people's intervention in her life, except for Charlotte's. Later on, Tiana is made to converse with Naveen, Louis, Ray, and Mama Odie. But Tiana has only three settings for active conversation-- talking about work, becoming human again, and her father's restaurant. I especially got tired of hearing about the restaurant during the last thirty minutes of the film...yerk, yerk... especially when Tiana blows off Naveen's interest in being included as part of the "collective" restaurant dream. Tiana doesn't quite listen to Mama Odie, either. This gets to me after a while.
Despite their problems, though, Tiana and Ariel have way more social skills than Elsa has.
Your argument is Elsa's actions vs. Ariel's potential and your subjective opinion about her undisclosed thoughts, so it doesn't actually compare and that's too subjective to debate anyway.
If you think Tiana and Ariel both have more social skills than Elsa then why did you choose Tiana and not Elsa?
It's not Ariel's "potential." Ariel does have more conversations period than Elsa has. Elsa has less characterization than Ariel. Less characterization does not automatically mean Elsa's a great conversationalist. Not at all.
I understand your argument but I personally don't consider more conversations to mean better at conversations.
I think Ariel has a more conversation skills than Tiana.
