Why doesn't Māui fly over Te Kā instead of fighting and getting through it?
While Māui could not fly through Te Kā in his giant hawk form to get to Te Fiti before the incident where his magical fish hook was severely damaged by the overpowered brofist with Te Kā, I can see he flies relatively close to the surface of the ocean.
Why doesn't Māui just fly higher and fly over Te Kā (ggez), so Te Kā can't reach him by slamming him with its hand? Of course, the throwing fireball skill is an exception in this case. Instead of that he spent so much efforts to fight and get through Te Kā?
Best Answer
As you said yourself: fireball.
And if he flies too high to save himself from fireballs then what is the point? He still needs to get down to do the task.

Why did Te Fiti turn into te ka?
Te Fiti is a major character in Disney's 2016 animated feature film Moana. She is a goddess with the power to create life\u2014an ability that she used to create the islands of Polynesia. After her heart had been stolen by Maui, she became Te K\u0101, a demon of earth and fire and the main antagonist of the film.Why did Maui stole the heart of Te Fiti?
The gods rescued Maui. They made him into a demigod and gave him the ability to shapeshift. Maui stole the heart of Te Fiti because he wanted to give it to humans; he wanted to do this, however, because he wanted the love of humans that had been denied him by his parents.Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) [Official Video]
