CMV: Queen Elsa of Arendelle is unfit to be a ruler, judging by her terrible decision-making, especially at the end of the movie. changemyview

There are some less-than-optimal things Elsa does before the climax of the movie, but I think those are forgivable due to her being afraid of her own powers and having been kept ignorant and isolated by her parents. So I'm mainly concerned with her post-climax rulings.

There are two decisions that show lack enough lack of foresight as to render her unqualified to lead. First, and by far the most harmful thing she does, is to spitefully end all trade relations with Weaselton. Holy self-imposed embargo, Batman! Forget all of your people whose livelihoods are going to be destroyed by your personal beef with the Duke. So he's an asshole. Should she let something that petty get in the way of economic prosperity? Remember, Weaselton is their largest trade partner. The hurt lives of the merchants in Arendelle and Weaselton (who are innocent in all this), the economic depression, and the fact that nothing is gained other than being able to insult the Duke of Weaselton add up to Queen Elsa showing she has a Trump-esque understanding of economic and social relationships. I could rest my case there, but there's more.

Elsa also decides to completely insult Sven and Kristoff by making them the 'Official Ice Master and Deliverer'. So she has unlimited power to create ice out of nothingness but instead of using it whenever the kingdom needs it, she makes one of the heroes of Arendelle do a useless job. She's like the invention of the refrigerator, and he's (quite literally) the ice delivery man that should have been made obsolete. He should have been retrained into doing something more productive due to the new productive efficiency found in Elsa's powers. He's a relic of the past and Elsa again shows her lack of understanding of economics in deciding to protect the status quo. Where is her vision?

Lastly, she sends Hans back to his homeland to be punished after he attempted multiple murders and a coup d'état of an entire kingdom. "Let's see how his brothers feel about his behavior." WTF? Apples don't fall far from trees. His brothers might be just as sociapthic as Hans is. She should have put him on trial in Arendelle where the crimes were committed.

So Elsa is a terrible leader and should be dethroned. CMV!
