An astrophysicist took issue with Disney’s poster for Frozen 2 and everyone made the same joke

Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson isn’t happy with the poster for Disney’s imaginatively titled Frozen sequel, Frozen 2.

So he did what any self-respecting big brain does, he went on Twitter to ask them to change it.

Dear @Disney, You got it right the first time. Water crystals have hexagonal “six-fold” symmetry.

You still have a few months to fix your #Frozen2 Movie Poster, unless the sequel takes place in another universe, where water crystalizes to different laws of physics. pic.twitter.com/eb2oILhim0

And we’re rather glad he did because it prompted no end of very funny takedowns, most of which, to be fair, were making the same joke. Fortunately for us, it was a good one.

sir please address the talking snowman, is that possible?????

and the singing snowman suggests he will become a puddle in summer, but in actuality, he would melt during the initial warming of the spring season. checkmate, mickey mouse

It’s not a snowflake. It’s a vegvisir (an ancient Norse compass) that’s in the *style* of a snowflake.

Considering the purpose of the vegvisir was to help the bearer find their way through rough weather, it makes sense. Elsa can create an eternal winter, remember? pic.twitter.com/gsDqcuUXY4

Neil it’s a cartoon movie about snow magic https://t.co/REvtvLqnZS

Neil, it's not "Ih ice" (hexagonal), but probably "II ice" (orthorhombic), formed at lower temperatures due to Elsa's powerful cooling capabilities.
