You un-birth into immortality.

Maybe that's all that's needed. I don't suspect it's ever been tried it again so how could we know.

This has "menwritingwomen" vibes.

Outside my window is a mountain. Everyone knows it as Koko Crater. But it's actual name is Kohelepelepe which is the Hawaiian name for the labia minor. The story is that a goddess, attempting to rescue another goddess named Pele, throws her vagina all the way from Hawai'i island to O'ahu and it lands in this spot.

I think about this nearly every day (because of the mountain outside my window).

Here's two links related to the story: Wikipedia and a more local essay.

To be fair, nobody said that goddess anatomy is at all the same as human anatomy.

Gods are crazy, that’s a given.

My question is, how tf was that going to get humans to immortality?

Yea I really hate it when my shapeshifting demi-god narrative gets interrupted by anatomical errors of deities.

Technically the vagina is open to the inside of the body via the end of the fallopian tubes. But then once lose in the abdomen i don't see a route to the mouth

He was banking on gingivitis vaginalis, which would let him slip into the blood stream and be carried to the lungs. Once in the lungs, right before leaving for the left atrium (where the blood-pressure is the lowest) he planned on making a small incision into the lung. From here it was just a matter of crawling up.

You enter into mortality by exiting the vagina at the moment of your birth. Be entering it you return to the immortal realm from which all live emerges, by NOT exiting through it, you retain that immortal status.

Sorry, I thought this was obvious. We really need to teach people where babies come from.

Why wouldn’t it?

But to the spirit of OP's post, Disney did draw from across the various myths of Maui for the character, not just the Hawaiian ones.

Vagina dentata
What a wonderful phrase!
Vagina dentata
Ain't no passing craze.
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy

Dont forget hiding in the bushes with the boys, catching the sun in a net, then beating the fuck out of it until it promised to slow down and give us a reasonable day length.

Idk, your mom didn't rip the condom last night... But then again I had paid her extra to take out her dentures. /s
