the point is that I feel the heart isn’t need at all for the fall out, the heart add a bunch of layers of heaviness it doesn’t actually need
liek I said, Maui reasons of doing things are very simple, just impressing humans so they like him more, so I feel the leg ripping should work in the same way, an acident that just happened, but maui felt so nervious about this that he just though of leaving without more
and actually I use the te fifi’s heart as part of my headcanon, in the way that after the incident, maui deciding to go for the heart becuase one, he knew this deed would be basically worth of years of attention from the humans, and two, he had ripped teh leg of his best friend, he fucked up so hard here, so maybe would be okey to be some dozen of years apart, you know? to could down things
but of course, if you would hear that yoru best friend, that just ruined one of your legs and not even said sorry, is back at his daily routine of adventure and idol stuff, that of course is just gonna feed your bitterness and anger, not so much at humans, but at him
