There's definitely some abuse present in Coco, especially concerning how controlling and overbearing the matriarchs are in the living world and the world of the dead.

But the whole movie is kinda... Fucked?

I mean, if the living world forgets a soul, they fade away into oblivion. What in the existential horror? What happens when an entire family dies in a catastrophe or, idk, a plague?

Audiences were okay with that nightmare, so I'm not surprised the familial bullying was swept under the rug and quietly ignored.

Is it oblivion, or is it just the next stage of the death cycle?

For all we know, they go to Mictlan.

SA here.

Then why do the dead want to avoid it? Why are the forgotten poor and the remembered rich or well-off in some way? Why does the movie drop in that scene with the sign telling the villain, "Forget you!" Why does the movie treat fading away like it's a tragedy when it happens?

Just so many negative connotations, I don't see how it can be a good thing, or even a neutral thing.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I just went “Oh, it’s like The Brief History of the Dead.” I thought that book was popular, but nobody remembers it.

For some people the cease to exist thing really _is_ terrifying. Me? I think it's comforting. I am so tired.

[(Anonymous)]

I get it. I feel the same way, at least sometimes. I'm just SO tired, both physically and emotionally. I can never catch up and truly feel rested, it never goes away. If I cease to exist, at least I won't feel so tired anymore.
