      Sven is more of a Germanic name, in Siberia reindeer herders are definitely not speaking Germanic languages.

        Poor Sven. I have a daughter and son and I thought the way sven was treated in part 2 was so shitty, like they almost went out of their way to say “fuck this man, this is a woman story” I love female centric movies but this one felt mean. He was fully supportive and trying to help and they ditched him, ignored him, treated him like he didn’t exist. And all he could do was take it cause if he complains he an asshole right?
        Again I have a son as well, so I don’t like when a movie has to elevate one gender or person by stomping on the other.

        Edit: mixed it up I meant Kristoff, Sven is the reindeer

        It’s a line from a song, the reindeer’s name was Sven. But yes, I did think about that after I posted my comment…

        And honestly even the reindeer herders in Scandinavia are probably mostly Saami, so it would be more accurate to use a Finnic name anyway…
