Hello everyone! In this post I'll be talking about something that intrigued me for a while, it's about the archer in the Barbie Mariposa movie. It became popular in Fandom that that constellation represents Sagittarius, and I will prove this wrong!
• Orion or sagittarius
As a child, I saw the constellation of the archer, and imagined myself from the film of the Moth, years later I discovered that it was the constellation of Orion. But to my surprise, when researching, websites say the constellation in the film is Sagittarius. It doesn't make sense and I will prove it!
• Appearance
Can you see the difference between the real constellations and the movie? The constellation of the archer has nothing to do with the constellation of Sagittarius, and is almost identical to that of Orion.
• Movie reference
In the cave of reflections before speaking of the archer, Mariposa mentions two other constellations: Unicorn and the Crown. Soo, guess what? The constellation of unicorn is close to the constellation of Orion, it does not give Sagittarius.
In conclusion, the archer is really Orion. Orion may not be an archer but his constellation resembles one, which is why Mariposa calls him that. She also says that the archer is a navigator, there is no way a centaur (sagittarius) can be a navigator. Now whenever you ask which constellation is in the Mariposa movie, say Orion, not a Sagittarius.
This is not just a theory but a fact!
