Andre B @RT88411306 Apr 18 Graphics are poor, story line is poor. The first film was so well put together and things really went backwards in Before ever after. Was very hard to watch don't recommend.

I came in expecting Tangled: The Series to expand on Rapunzel and Flynn’s beautiful connection, but instead… I got relationship chaos, character assassination, and a bizarre moral about how marriage is actually a trap. Apparently, love means constantly belittling your partner, keeping secrets, and time-traveling just to alter their opinions. And they call this the “healthiest Disney couple”? Here’s a breakdown of why Tangled: The Series is the ultimate lesson in how to ruin a romance: 1. Flynn Rider: Hero to… Comic Relief? Whoever wrote this version of Flynn must have skipped the movie, because the Flynn in Tangled is witty, clever, and knows how to put on a confident front. Yet here, he’s reduced to a dimwitted, self-centered clown. It’s like Disney decided that because he’s the guy, he doesn’t deserve depth. Gone is the sharp, lovable Flynn we knew. Instead, he’s a caricature, constantly getting insulted, pushed aside, and trampled on by Rapunzel’s best friend, Cassandra, while Rapunzel stands by, silent as a wallflower. And Rapunzel has the audacity to get mad if Flynn says anything remotely critical of Cassandra? It’s ridiculous! 2. The Marriage Plot: A Cruel Joke Remember in Tangled when Rapunzel was ready to sacrifice her freedom forever just to be with Flynn? Apparently, now marriage is where she draws the line. And somehow, sacrificing her life for a guy she’s just met is noble, but committing to a man she’s deeply in love with after months of being together is a prison? I mean, this is the 1700s we’re talking about! Back then, marriage wasn’t optional if you wanted to be together, so what is with this plotline where she keeps rejecting his proposals like it’s a game? Flynn has to ask her over and over, only to be rejected each time—how’s that for a “healthy relationship”? 3. Marriage is a Trap? Only If You’re Not With the Right Person This show sends the mind-boggling message that marrying someone you truly love equals “losing your freedom.” Yet in the movie, Rapunzel was ready to lose everything just to save Flynn. Now, she’s scared marriage will mean she’s tied down forever. Newsflash: if you love someone enough to risk your life for them, a wedding ring shouldn’t be the deal-breaker! Also, since when is love about constant sacrifice by one partner? This show makes Flynn give in every single time, like his opinions and dreams don’t matter. In real life, that’s a red flag. 4. The Toxic Double Standard Imagine the roles were reversed, and it was Flynn constantly ignoring Rapunzel’s wishes, brushing her off, and putting his friends above her. Would people call that healthy? Not a chance. But apparently, because Rapunzel’s the “free spirit,” it’s totally okay for her to put Flynn on the back burner and even draw his face on a punching bag. She constantly disregards his feelings, and Disney wants me to believe this is love? In what world does that make any sense? 5. If You Reject Someone’s Proposal… Maybe Don’t Stay Together In real life, rejecting a marriage proposal usually means “I don’t see a future with you.” But here, Rapunzel rejects Flynn’s proposal (repeatedly!) and they just go on dating like it’s nothing. If she’s so terrified of a life with him, maybe she shouldn’t be with him? Flynn deserves someone who loves him without second thoughts, not someone who constantly hesitates and treats him like a backup option. 6. Historical Accuracy Was Thrown Out the Window The movie’s story takes place in a time where marriage was the way for two people to be together. So why does the show treat it like a modern-day relationship drama? It’s like they threw 1700s history out the window for a modern rom-com plot. And if Disney wanted to showcase a couple taking it slow, they had the perfect candidates in Tiana and Naveen—set in the 1920s, they could easily go the “long-term relationship” route. But Rapunzel and Flynn? No way! After everything they went through, they would want to be together. They literally almost died for each other! Why would they wait years to get married? 7. The Lesson Here Is What…? Ultimately, Tangled: The Series teaches that a relationship can function even if one partner has to make all the sacrifices. And that’s not love; that’s just unfair. The series completely ignores Flynn’s background and trauma—he grew up alone, unloved, and still treats Rapunzel right. And yet, all Rapunzel does in return is push him aside, mock his desires, and time-travel to change his personality when he disagrees with her. I mean, I thought love was about respecting each other’s differences, but this show thinks it’s about altering them to fit one person’s vision. Yikes. In Conclusion Disney’s Tangled: The Series took a beautiful love story and turned it into a modern drama where true love is redefined as “wait forever and put up with constant disrespect.” Flynn deserves better than to be treated like Rapunzel’s last choice, and Rapunzel deserves someone who isn’t always giving in. And let’s not even get started on how bizarre it is that marrying someone you love after a few months is bad but throwing your life away for a stranger is good. Logic? None here. If you want a story where characters actually respect each other, go watch the original Tangled and leave this series out of it.

Rapunzel is not only a remarkable character in her own right, but she is also accompanied by her loyal sidekick, Pascal the chameleon. Together, they form a dynamic duo as Rapunzel navigates her complex relationship with her captor, Mother Gothel. This villain stands out in Disney history—not just as a villain, but as one of the most chilling, having kidnapped Rapunzel and kept her hidden for 18 years. Her cunning nature makes her a formidable antagonist, especially as Rapunzel's curiosity is sparked by the sight of the floating lanterns. The film's music, vibrant visuals, and creative storytelling create a magical atmosphere that captivates audiences of all ages. It is a delightful experience that offers everything you didn’t even know you needed. We are also introduced to Flynn Rider, a charming and roguish character whose journey intertwines with Rapunzel's. Despite being a thief, he captures the heart of the lost princess, and together they form a hilarious and balanced partnership that is one of Disney's most memorable. Disney's animation team also put considerable effort into crafting Flynn's character design, making him one of the most attractive male leads in their lineup. Alongside him is Maximus, the valiant horse, whose bravery and comedic antics provide some of the film's most delightful moments. Additionally, the comedic relief provided by the thieving brothers and the lively patrons of the Snuggly Duckling adds to the richness of the story, giving each character their own unique flair. While the king and queen have minor roles, their presence helps to round out the narrative. I wholeheartedly recommend watching "Tangled," and I must mention that the animated series that follows is surprisingly captivating. It continues the story of Rapunzel and Flynn, delving into their lives post-movie, including their wedding and the dynamics of their relationship. The series cleverly incorporates elements from the film, maintaining continuity and leaving room for further storytelling. Though the animation style in the series feels a bit different and at times more juvenile compared to the film, it still offers a beautifully crafted narrative with fantastic new characters. While it sometimes feels like a children's show, the essence of the original film remains intact. Overall, I encourage everyone to explore both the movie and the series for a fuller experience of Rapunzel's enchanting world.
