In case you haven't noticed, most people do NOT survive falling from several stories, nor are they able to actually able to withstand oceanic pressure from thousands of feet underwater unprotected (in fact, realistically, she wouldn't just worry about drowning when she was a human, she'd probably implode from the water pressure), both of which Ariel DID demonstrate, so yes, that DOES need to be noted. And as far as thermoendurance, yes, actually, that DOES need to be noted because, guess what? Ariel was shown to be able to withstand icy cold temperatures in the Arctic waters twice, once in the TV series, and once in Return to the Sea. And that's not even counting the video games. As you should know regarding the Titanic disaster, even being EXPOSED to arctic waters is a death sentence in itself (you think it's cold up above water on icebergs, that's basically the beach compared to the actual water). And she was shown passing through volcanic areas going to see Ursula, and it's pretty much heated there, probably the closest underwater areas have to an actual heat source, and volcanic areas are generally superheated (just BEING in a volcanic crater, for example, is a virtual death sentence, as the heat itself would kill you instantly, to say little about the noxious gasses). And believe me, plenty of comic book characters have the above as actual abilities. Just ask DC Comics, heck, even Marvel since this is the Disney Wiki, they'll tell you.

Also, talking to fish is an actual Comic-grade superpower, hence it stays (if it can count for Aquaman, it most certainly can count for Ariel, whether it's natural for her species or not).

And as far as Ariel's voice, use common sense, do you REALLY think, if Ursula just used her magic to brainwash Eric, that Ariel even getting her voice back would have even mattered? No. If anything, even if Ariel got her voice back, Ursula STILL would have firm control over Eric until that witch died under that rationale precisely BECAUSE it was her magic that she used, NOT Ariel's voice, and considering it was Ariel's voice Ursula used to hypnotize Eric in the first place, it's pretty obvious that Ariel has that ability, even if she doesn't use it. Remember, just because she HAS the ability doesn't mean she must use it to prove can use it. Cell in Dragon Ball Z doesn't use the Spirit Bomb, yet we know full well he can use it because he made it clear he could use it (and in the video games, it's proven that he was not bluffing about that claim). Such an instance was even hinted at in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when calling about Ness as Snake, where Campbell mentioned that even if Ness has the capability of reading minds, he won't use it since he's "a good kid."
