I just rewatched Gramma Tala's opening tale about the legend of the Te Fiti and realized that she never says the darkness was a result of Te Ka cursing the world.

She says
to:
She says \" But without her heart, Te Fiti began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness\". Then later, as Maui was trying to escape, she says he was \"confronted by another who sought the heart. Te Ka! A demon of earth and fire\", implying Te Ka was a different entity than Te Fiti and only a monster, not a goddess capable of cursing the entire world.
The legend concludes saying that Te Ka, along with the other demons of the deep, are still seeking the heart, hiding in the darkness that continues to spread. It never says Te Ka or the demons caused the darkness, only that they were taking advantage of it.
This tends to support the interpretation that with the heart being lost, everything Te Fiti created is now becoming unmade in a spreading darkness and thus there is no focused \"vengeance\" going on.
Unless someone has a strong rebuttal either from the film or some other WordOfGod source, it seems that GaiasVengeance despite appearing to be appropriate, is actually not justified by what\'s presented in the movie.
EDIT: Also re-read the trope definition and it focuses on karmic retribution based upon the actions of humanity. In this story, humans had nothing to do with the event that upset the balance of nature. That was totally Maui\'s doing and as a result, humans were suffering the effects.
