Is Good Enough? | A Tangled Mini-Rant

Фильм және анимация

While I didn't have enough to say to fill a full rant, I did have enough to at least discuss Tangled the Series. Is it good? Is it bad? Does any of that matter? I don't know, I'm not an expert at life. Go ask a therepist.

Rapunzel was already the more complex Disney Princess back in the 2010 movie. I'm glad the series intelligently didn't butcher her character integrity.

Edit : can we also talk about how some of her trauma from her 18 years in a tower with an abuser showed it’s after effects in the series!

    Even Eugene could grab the moonstone, and we'd still get an interesting story from it. Although, it is interesting to note that even during pre-production, Cass was always meant to be the bearer of the moonstone and the big bad villain opposing Rapunzel, thus Cass was always meant by the writers to take that role. However, like the latter of what you said, who else was also meant for another team of writers to fill another important role for a new story? It was Varian and his spin-off series. That's the REAL loss!

    While I agree with most of your points, I would like to respectfully disagree with your point about Cassandra's villain motivation being about her mother. From how I interpreted it, the biggest reason Cassandra turned against Rapunzel wasn't really because of Gothel, it just happened to be a "last straw" of sorts. Instead, it was due to feeling used and pushed aside by everyone around her all her life. While she did have a stable parent growing up (unlike Rapunzel) it doesn't change the fact that she was raised as a warrior and ended up rejected that destiny anyway to instead become a garbage class servant for the princess, constantly ignored and even mocked for her low status. Not to mention how often Cassandra sacrificed her own ambitions and happiness for Rapunzel because she was sad about her not wanting to be her handmaiden anymore, or had her chances at climbing the ladder inadvertently blocked by Rapunzel despite her good intentions. This only got worse in season two when she finally got to be a fighter, but was frequently steamrolled by Rapunzel in favor of Adira (who they had only just met) or Rapunzel herself before getting her arm critically injured on top of it all. I don't mean to say Rapunzel was a bad person by any means, or that she didn't have valid reasons for her decisions, but she clearly had her own idea of a "happy ending" and what was right that ultimately didn't fit in with Cassandra's mindset and desires, hence why she left in the epilogue. I think being reminded by Zhan Tiri of how Gothel abandoned her as a child resurfaced her feelings of inferiority and made her snap, causing everything to blur into a rage that clouded her judgment for the entirety of season three. Because of this, it often seemed like the forefront of her motivations was Gothel "choosing Rapunzel over her," when really it was just a front for the mountain of issues that had built up all her life. I don't believe for a second that she would've actually gone back to her mother given the chance (she MIGHT have considered it without actually going through with it), but is just desperate for any sign that she might've cared even a little bit as well as general recognition. I think her most telling line of these underlying issues, as well as a more direct acknowledgement that Gothel mistreated Rapunzel too, came in the final episode; "I look at you and I see a girl who was used for her gifts and lied to her entire life. And I think if there's anyone who should know what it feels like to be taken for granted and cast aside for something better, it'd be you." Of course, I also agree that a lot of things in this show could have overall been written better, including Cassandra's villain arc. I just feel like her issues and reasons for turning villain ran much deeper than jealousy over Gothel. At the end of the day, this is how I felt about it and if you still disagree or feel generally unsatisfied with it, then that's perfectly valid too. This was a great video nonetheless, with lots of great points! EDIT 4/16/2021: I've given this a bit more thought and I'd like to add one other thing: while I interpreted her betrayal to stem from her feelings of inferiority and craving for ambition rather than what Gothel did to her, I CAN agree that the latter plot point was exhausted far too frequently. This isn't a call out against Cass but the writers, really. I feel like they did a fair job at building up her desire for recognition, but it could've been better and overall her villain arc would've been more engaging if they had simply not had her be Gothel's daughter in the first place as it takes away from, again, her frustration at being pushed aside her whole life. Despite my argument here, I totally get why her motivations are often interpreted to stem from her mother, and maybe I'm totally wrong here. Maybe the writers DID intend for it to be all about Gothel, and if so that's... incredibly unfortunate.

    Exactly. Learning her birth mother chose Rapunzel over her because of Rapunzel’s magic and ‘specialness’ and in spite of Cassandra being the most patient, loving, forgiving and hardworking daughter Gothel could have asked for (doing all the housework at four with no thanks!) was just the last straw. The last on a long list of things contributing to Cassandra’s declining mental health and relationships. The trigger, after life had given her a lot of ammunition. It confirmed to her that, if Rapunzel was being valued more than her even from the moment she was born, even by the one person who should have cared for her most in the world, she always would be. And yeah, that wasn’t fair. It wasn’t actually true, but she genuinely believed it was and evil acts were the only ones that would earn her the approval she deserve. She just couldn’t stop and see in her anger that she already had it.

Yeahh basically, she was tired of waiting.

    It's very easy to miss the point of why Cass betrayed. It's not really about overthrowing power, or wanting to become Gothel's daughter, but she simply wants to end the mistreatment she's constantly getting because she's often overlooked and discredited and condescended by her peers and loved ones. It was only until she became manipulated by Zhan Tiri where Cass's decisions becomes illogical, not because she then forms a masterplan that's so flawed it doesn't make sense, but because her betrayal is simply super-charged by irrational emotional impulse. The story definitely paints Cass's betrayal and villainy as a big mistake on Cass part, and she was never meant to gain anything from it. Definitely Varian's point in the song "Nothing Left to Lose".

    Personally, I think Cass' arc could have been better because yes, this was her motivation and the whole Gothel's daughter thing was just the tipping point but I really feel like the show focused *way* too much on that aspect, forgetting about all the actual build up to it: The tournament from season one, which Cass had been training for and which Raps joined last second and won! The decay incantation burning Cass' hand after she specifically warned Rapunzel against using it again! Maybe not just her anger at Rapunzel but also at her adoptive dad who was overprotective and keeping her from achieving what she wanted to do and was fully capable of doing! But no, Zhan Tiri was stupid enough to only remind Cass of her terrible biological mother choosing the magic she was obsessed with (who just so happens to take the form of Rapunzel) over a daughter who she mistreated

    About Rapunzel's "kindness" actually, it's a little more complicated. I never read her as especially kind, or well, beyond what's normally expected from the good guys. Rapunzel would have been locked away her entire life with the literal ONLY person she knows being a controlling narcissist who would have react negatively to ANY negative or antsy behavior. Rapunzel does indeed actually get mad and pissy sometimes in the series, but only when pushed to that point. Some people are just that level headed and reasonable. But I think this character trait suits Rapunzel in a somewhat tragic light? It's for the following reasons: 1. If she wanted ANYTHING from Gothel she would HAVE to be a people pleaser. She was raised to be that way by Gothel. She chose to be optimistic because otherwise in that kind of living situation and isolation, she might have just throw herself from that tower. She had to be "kind" to survive. Cass also reads into this, and can see Rapunzel to be somewhat patronizing with how she behaves, because Rapunzel is soooo used to be the pacifier, the one who keeps everyone at pleased (or just Gothel pleased) her need to keep everything calm can stem from a need to control, which is exactly why Cass was mad at her for treated her like she was a bomb waiting to go off. (Even if she kind of was). 2. OF COURSE Rapunzel was going to forgive the people who betray her, because guess what, when you grow up ALL ALONE the one thing you are never willing to do is push toxic people out of your life, because you are gonna be terrified of being alone once again. Also why did you only list fillers? Yes, that's what those episodes are, FILLERS. There were other episodes, like the one where we find out Gothel had a biological daughter, the one where Rapunzel almost kills everyone with deadly black hair, the one where Eugine's ex girlfriend almost murders them all. The one where we find out Eugine has a best friend. The one where they all get enslaved. The one where we find out Rapunzel's mother has a twin sister. The one where we learn of the fact that Rapunzel's mother and father used to be mortal enemies in battle? The one where we find out how Rapunzel met Pascel? The one where we find out where Mother Gothel went all the time? The one we find out her father knew about the rocks this whole time and was lying to Rapunzel about it? Etc etc etc. You know the main plot?

    yeah one reason rapunzel's "kindness" doesn't feel too bland to me is that it clearly isn't just because she's so kind or pure of heart, though she is probably naturally empathetic but it's also how she's adapted to the situation she's grown up in and you can also see she's rather prideful and can be neurotic about making people like her. honestly I think that's a big reason for the friction between her and cassandra, the mother reveal was just the last nail in the coffin that made cassandra lose it. since you see cassandra working hard to be recognized for her skills, but along comes rapunzel who can seemingly win anyone over, and cassandra is envious, but she also comes to care for rapunzel so she tries to support her, etc. and she even rants at rapunzel about how she put her life on hold to follow her on her adventure in one episode. so her jealousy towards rapunzel is about more than mother gothel, but the mother issues makes for an easy target for cassandra to focus all her frustration towards rapunzel on.

    Since many people have brought up that Cass’ motivation was mainly her always getting set aside for Rapunzel and Gothel was the final straw, I’d like to talk about an issue I personally have, which is how it appears Rapunzel is exempted from many of her mistakes. You brought up she is too kind, which she is, but I have seen her being mean or acting badly here and there, even if unintentionally. On Varian’s case for instance, at the moment she couldn’t help Varian, but after the storm she didn’t even bother sending him a note to see if he was alright (he was thrown in a snowstorm after all) or anything, even though she kept venting how she was so sad she didn’t help him. He did turn evil as a result, but still, she never gets truly called out for it. On season 3, Varian suddenly decides he wants her to forgive him and it's completely forgotten how she forgot about him after the storm. Fast forward, on the episode Rapunzel Day One, after the Great Tree, Rapunzel literally blames Cass for getting hurt trying to help her and when talking with her about it she changes her version (directly contradicting was was shown onscreen) to make it look like it was Cass’ fault. And in both of these cases, after the betrayals, Rapunzel’s misbehavior and how she made everyone upset is never brought up again. Rapunzel was kind and yet she failed to be a good friend on these cases (and some others as well) and the show never acknowledges her mistakes in these cases. Doing so could in fact have helped out the plot a lot more.

    I don't think Varian "suddenly decided", I think he realized that his best bet for survival was to get back in her good graces, especially after he burned the bridge with the Saporians, so he relied on the whole "friends again" angle and showed remorse to get her to forgive him and protect him. If he made himself useful to her and acted like her best friend, then he would be safe from the angry mob of citizens that had most definitely attacked him before, based on his nightmare. And, even then, they still treated him coldly, even if they couldn't touch him because he was Rapunzel's "best friend".

    ​@@Passions5555 If Varian had actually been close enough to Rapunzel to BE friends before, I could believe you. But, the only time he showed any remorse about fighting her and taking over her Kingdom was when Rapunzel and the others got blasted out of the throne room through the wall, and I'm pretty sure that was just him upset about them being hurt/possibly killed by the fall. Up until they brought up the idea of blowing up the Kingdom, Varian was completely on-board with the whole takeover and memory-erasing plan, and nothing Rapunzel said actually changed that. Then he gets punished for turning against Andrew and the others by opposing the new plan by being locked in with Rapunzel and that's when he starts pouring on the "I thought we could be friends again", genuinely this time, instead of his mocking remark earlier when he was talking about erasing her memories with a grin. Varian and Rapunzel were not friends in season 1. He was a loyal subject and she mistook his loyalty for friendship. Sure, he might've found it an honor to be considered a friend by her, but she only ever saw him to ask him to do things for her or if he came to her. And if she was really his friend, she would have checked in on him like she did everyone else or done more to stop him from being thrown out into a blizzard. I guarantee that if it was Cassandra or Eugene running in telling her that she needed to come out and help, she'd be running out or, at the very least, telling someone to go with them to help. And if someone tried to drag them out screaming her name, she would have stopped them and told the guards off instead of just watching them be pulled out with a weak "Don't hurt them!" followed by sobbing in their wake. The claim about wanting to be friends with her may have had some truth to it, but it was also brought up when he was backed up against the wall between two people he had now betrayed and he decided that stopping Andrew and sticking with Rapunzel would be better in the long-run. Did he genuinely want to be friends with her? Sure, but he also knew from personal experience that it was safest to be friends with her because, if you're not one of her friends, you get abandoned for months until you finally ask her to come visit. She not only was a bad group-project partner, but a bad friend to him, but he knew that she would cling to that if he dropped the "friend" angle. Even if there was some genuine desire to be friends and make amends, it was still a calculated move to bring it up when they were locked up together. Everything from him bringing up his wanting to make his father proud to sadly turning away to telling her he wanted to be friends again was a calculated move, no matter how genuinely he actually wanted it. He convinced her to give him another chance, just like he convinced her to get the Sundrop Flower with him a year prior. Were his feelings about wanting to be friends genuine? Yes, I think so. And he definitely DID want to make his father proud. But, that doesn't change the fact that he feared the future if he wasn't Rapunzel's friend. I'm pretty sure, and so was he, that the only reason he wasn't stoned in the street was because of Rapunzel's friendship, which he didn't have before. So, yes, it was a calculated move on his part. He didn't "just decide" to switch sides, there was a lot leading up to it and even once he was her friend, he was still extremely nervous about being out and about with her, or about her catching him with his guard down when he was goofing off with Ruddiger. He never actually felt at full ease around her and Eugene until after Cassandra kidnapped him and they came to his rescue, proving that they cared about him enough to SAVE him this time.

At the end of the series she abandoned her family in order to get what she wants; namely she is useful and her life have meaning. That's not completely altruistic desire but it's in line with themes and message of the show; that you should find a balance between your selfish and selfless desires. And neither is Rapunzel as boring and one dimensional character as FallenGale make her up to be; she have plenty of character flaws and this kindness paradoxically is one of them. Her wanting to be friends with Cassandra and her pushiness is one of the reasons why Cassandra turned to the dark side

    My favorite "Character sacrifices themselves for others" moment comes from the movie, All dogs go to heaven. (SPOILERS) The main character, Charlie, is given confirmation that heaven and hell exist and he WILL got to hell when he dies so he spends a huge chunk of the movie terrified of death and also trying to live life to the fullest by making it rich, exploiting the talents of a trusting young girl, Anne Marie. Near the end of the movie when they're both in danger and panicked understanding lights up his face that only one of them is going to make it out alive, it's an incredibly powerful moment when he chooses to save Anne Marie. (END OF SPOILERS) When a big sacrifice is part of a character arc, I love it, when it's just an all around nice character doing they're own thing, I don't feel anything for it. They often act fine with it. They're not scared, they're not thinking about the consequences afterwards. If they're not going to get worked up over it, I won't either. At most I see the ways the sacrifice by the kind person was selfish. It's often performed by the type of person who'd never accept leaving a friend behind, but apparently it's different for them.

To me selfish or selfless end up being the same and are neither good nor bad, they’re just seen in a different light from a humans perspective.

    The worst aspect of this show is how the redemptions are handled. Rapunzel never forgives people because she believes in second chances, she either forgives people because they’re her friends (cass, pub thugs) or because she needs something out of them (Varian, stalyan). If you’re neither, sucks to be you I guess, have fun rotting in a prison cell for the rest of your life!

    Man, finally a balanced review. I did like the series a lot, but it also frustrated me. There was way too much wasted potential with Eugene. They should have explored the whole Prince and Dad thing more. I feel like he kinda got the short end of the stick the whole series. His vanity was dialed up to eleven and played for laughs. Cassandra constantly belittled him and tore him down and Rapunzel didn't put a stop to it. Then again, Gothel did that to her, so maybe she doesn't entirely understand that that's not how people are supposed to act?

Because of her manipulation, Cass wasn't really free to think for herself logically on why she's even betraying Rapunzel and her friends. Due to it, Cass became so hyper-focused on her emotions, she ended up making irrational decisions, and that's exactly what Zhan Tiri wanted. It is noteworthy that, right after Zhan Tiri reminded Cass of her forgotten past, she instantly shifted Cass's attention to Rapunzel who's worthy of the blame. Zhan Tiri even twisted the information later that Gothel really did love Cass as a child, not really to bring the show's point that Cass wanted to be Gothel's daughter, but just another manipulation tactic to further confuse Cass, which technically was the real point.

It's even easier to get even more confused during the revelation of S3 premiere, but even I myself admitted I have overlooked an important aspect of why Cassandra's betrayal doesn't make sense . . . is that it actually doesn't make sense logically, not because Cass planned it out from the start and reasoned with her intentions, but actually because she was simply lost in her irrational emotions due to Zhan Tiri's manipulation. When viewers everywhere says that Cass' betrayal doesn't make sense, they are right to a point, and I believe it was basically the show's intention. We were never meant to cheer on Cass becoming the villain, nor we're supposed to understand her betrayal, but simply for us to acknowledge that Cass' feelings are valid, but she needs to deal with it in a proper way and get out of the darkness' grasp (which in literal sense, get out of Zhan Tiri's manipulation).

    I don't have any confirmation from any of the show's creators but I got this impression while watching TTS that the writers of this show, REALLY wanted to make a Steven Universe type show. What I mean by that is that they wanted to tackle complex messy emotional arcs and present them in a way that kids can understand, without dumbing them down. The problem is that I don't think the studio gave them enough slack to go as far as they wanted. Rapunzel is a very marketable character for the Disney brand so they weren't allowed to portray her in certain ways that might make her look well, less than angelic. Every now and again they'll have something, like the episode where she first sees her old tower again. She's genuinely affected by seeing the home she grew up in again, where she was kept prisoner and raised by a dangerous woman, but it's a very fast scene and her feelings are not really explored deeply. Same with the characters around her. There's things like dealing with trauma, strained familial relationships and self-esteem issues there, but it's not pushed far enough. They all have to come back to "Happily ever after". (Except for the villain characters, but that's a whole other rant I could make. Suffice to say I don't think this show does sympathetic villains well.) I'm not saying there's nothing there in terms of complex emotional writing but it was just never pushed far enough for me.

    I’m almost positive we didn’t watch the same show. This series is absolutely NOT for children. It’s definitely okay for children to watch but it’s definitely more about learning to deal with trauma and how to navigate adulthood and even how to be a leader. (Rapunzel’s story heavily deals in her learning to control power) Also Rapunzel’s niceness is absolutely a thing, but she’s not ALL nice. She can be bossy, condescending, egotistical. And the show does a very good job at showing that behind that optimism is a huge dumpster fire of anger issues. This will actively be shown throughout the series. The main thing about her kindness is that it is genuine (she a Paragon hero after all) and she is an optimist who will always stick with her friends. But is not perfect at it Also, the show has a very good mix of funny side episodes that are INCREDIBLY enjoyable to watch. And most are even relevant to a later major plot point. And LASTLY. ABOUT THE VILLAINS. So Zhan Tiri was never meant to be an incredibly terrifying threat. Cass was supposed to be the main villain from the start. (Similar to Darth Vader and the Emperor). Both Varian and Cassandra actually had motives that made sense for them. Varian is a victim of grief, while Cass is a victim of gaslighting. People going through that kind of trauma will ABSOLUTELY blame their problems on people who either didn’t really do anything wrong (Varian’s case) or their offense was not one that was THAT bad (Cassandra’s). And yes, part of that was Rapunzel’s fault. Cass had been playing second fiddle to Rapunzel the entire series, Raps absolutely was ignoring what she had to say and was being nosy and bossy. Though as a victim of gaslighting (and learning it in a traumatic way) Cass suddenly related all those emotions to that horrible memory and unjustly blamed Rapunzel for EVERYTHING. This is actually very common for people who went through that level of abuse.

    Well Varian and Cass had like long drawn out storylines. Varian from the very start had a n obsession with trying to make people, especially his dad proud of him. Every episode he was in, he was trying to make someone impressed. When he like basically killed his dad, he didn't want to believe he screwed up so much that he placed the blame on someone else. As for Cass her story arc isn't so mich about mother gothel being her mother, but rather that ever since she met Rapunzel she has been pushed to the side even when she wanted to be more or even equal. Challenge of the brave was the first episode I'd say we saw this side of this Cass. The mother gothel thing was the final straw for her because she realizer that her entire life, Rapunzel had been put above her. Her own mother chose Rapunzel over her, regardless of how terrible gothel is, that still hurt especially considering she's always felt pushed aside by Rapunzel. That along with Zhan Tiri manipulating her into believing her mother actually had a semblance of love for her, she was pretty angry and confused. Even some filler episodes were key to Cass's development

Then you've got Tangled the series and shows like it. They are definitely not only kids shows, they have a strong plot, strong characters and darker aspects. But to treat it as though it's not a kids' show just... makes it seem kinda bad. There's a lot of filler, extreme positivity (I mean, it's about Rapunzel) and the conflict is pretty predictable. At times, it feels like two different shows for two different age groups. But I love it, even so!

    While this show has flaws and missed opportunities, yet because it's mostly due to the show's scope as a Rapunzel Disney Princess TV series, its flaws can easily be rectified with. I appreciate this rant ends with acknowledging that. Not all shows have to be society changing and world impacting, but acknowledging its potential and boundaries, thus being true to what it's meant to be. A show targeted for younger audiences to have this deep enough storytelling, not only is hinted for subtext, or is resolved in one episode, but becomes part of the arc, is often a rare gem in today's TV series for such demographic. Also, as a TV series that succeeded from the older Disney Princess TV series featuring Ariel and Jasmine, Tangled the Series sets the bar high to be the standard for future Disney Princess TV series that's coming this decade (such as Tiana's and Moana's respective TV series).

There is one episode in season 2 called *The Keeper of the Spire* where she got downright enraged with a character named Calype (spelling?) because she was obnoxious and condacending and overall just rubbed her the wrong way to the point she really lost her temper with her. Rapunzel got really pissed off at a young girl Vox and threatened to hurt her when she basically taunted her about Eugene. Rapunzel is more hotheaded than you think.

    I think that some of this was valid, but to be blunt I think that this video missed the mark of so much of the characters. Her criticism of Cassandra was completely wrong. Cass held contempt for Rapunzel from DAY one because cass was denied a lot of her goals due to needing to watch Rapunzel. Cassandra was constantly outshined by Rapunzel and cass also WASNT allowed to be mad at Rapunzel for it because it wasn’t Rapunzels fault. Cass had to bury her own frustration and aspirations for the first two seasons because Rapunzel was ALWAYS the priority. That’s why the mother gothel reveal was the tipping point, Cassandra was abandoned as a child and came up in second place to Rapunzel. While, logically, being abandoned by her insane mother was a good thing to happen to Cassandra, that’s not how a relationship with an abusive parent works. Cassandra finding out that gothel was her real mother was not the reason she became evil, it was the final straw. She always felt second best to Rapunzel and she thought (after being manipulated by a dark god) that having an equal power would allow her to finally be recognized as good enough. We see Cassandra become deranged from these pent up feelings. That’s why I don’t think the other characters viewed Cassandra as someone who betrayed them. Her story arc (however disney show rushed to complete in the last episode) was about forgiveness and mental illness. This was not a decision made at the last minute, it was intentional and planned from the get go and it makes Cassandra a really interesting character.

They don’t take the time to have Rapunzel realize how Cass was hurt by her and that she could have been a better friend (On Rapunzel Day One for instance, Rapunzel literally blames Cass for getting hurt trying to help her and even changes her version of the story to shift the blame onto Cass. Once that episode ends the entire ordeal is never directly brought up again). Instead they pretty much ignore that and make it look like the problem was all in Cass. Cass made mistakes, but her feelings to some extent were justifiable. (I say the exact same thing for Varian’s redemption, in fact his case is even worse because Rapunzel’s fault is MUCH more evident.)

    Not gonna lie, as someone who was abused as a child I can understand Cassandra's motivation. She makes claims of choosing this for her self but her only reason for choosing it is because her mother was evil and abusive. The way her songs about it are sung make me think shes too traumistized by the abandoment to fully comprehend how said abandoment saved her. And not only that, Mother Gothel is the only biological connection she has. Rapunzel who was raised and abused by Gothel has both (bio) parents, Eugene has one biological connection too but that connection isnt an evil big bad. Cassandra is also the only one who is genetically related to an evil abuser. It comes across to me that her entire motivation is internalizing that she comes from bad people therefore must be bad people herself. Its a hard mindset to break yourself out of. Might not be right, I still need to fully catch up but it still looks that way too me. Maybe Im making a false assumption in that Cass actually ever knew about Gothel. I just knew what I heard when I heard her songs.

    My opinions: Tangled The Series has too many flaws to be great, but too many unique/interesting aspects to be considered "bad" - It feels perfectly suited to its "Cult" status.. - The "Filler" episodes don't exactly do much to advance the arc, but they are fun on a base level, and it is amusing to see the show try its hand at so many different ideas and genres - The idea of "Being willing to do anything once" feels pretty true to the spirit of Rapunzel. - Cassandra is a brilliant concept for a character delivered in a rather frustrating fashion. Her motives and characterization get pretty inconsistent during the second half of season 3 (she goes from being reluctant to fight Rapunzel to having a grand plan for revenge to acting purely on impulse, and the much-criticized "Revenge for Gothel" motive is abruptly discarded with a couple of episodes left). The rather repetitive structure of her arc (Rapunzel hopes Cassandra can be redeemed, Zhan Tiri gets in the way, Cassandra turns more villainous) doesn't help in this regard. But we can all agree Casandra's songs are awesome. With a stronger motive and more consistent characterization, Cassandra could have been one of the Best Disney Villains EVER instead of merely being a very good villain. - I think that Season 3 would have been improved with more episodes - being shorter than the other two seasons was quite a disadvantage. Several critical developments in the Season 3 arc (Eugene coming round to Rapunzel's belief Cassandra can be redeemed, Cassandra brainwashing Adira and The Brotherhood) needed whole episodes to work, and the rushed handling of them makes it harder to invest in the conflict. - I personally enjoy Zhan Tiri as a throwback to the "Rotten to the Core and loving every second" mode of Disney villainy. Jennifer Veal does a pretty good job in the role... - I'm fine with the Rapunzel/Eugene relationship not really being a source of tension on the show (The number of times they come into conflict with each other can be counted on the fingers!) but Eugene's character development could have been emphasized more in Season 3. - The animation is fantastic, and the show is worth watching for that alone! The voice cast is also pretty strong, with even weak characters being elevated by good voice acting. - I think that many of the flaws with the Rapunzel Vs. Cassandra conflict could have been forgiven if the resolution was more developed. But the finale has too much filler, and too little exploration of Cassandra's tortured psyche. Her change of heart and heroic sacrifice during the final fight needed considerably more build-up - Instead, they just "happen" making her redemption feel a lot less impressive than it should have been. The final episode has some great moments though, esp. Rapunzel's "I am never giving up on you." speech, her final defeat of Zhan Tiri, and the closing epilogue. Tangled: The Series is a solid 7/10, but I believe it could have been an 11/10 if the story was more focused and consistent. But it's ambition sets a pleasing benchmark for future TV sequels to Disney films...

That's quite a lot of chances she's been given, and of course rapunzel is going to always get more than her, she's a princess, that's the same for anyone else, she's not exactly alone in that.

In secret of the sundrop, yes, her father lets her take down ruddiger and lead the charge against varian, but no one ever gives her recognition for that other than the king who makes her rapunzel's bodyguard, but as I said before rapunzel barely lets her protect her and treats her more as a companion than a guard. That alone is not enough to justify her going against rapunzel, but we have to keep in mind that she was being manipulated by zhan tiri, although I understand your point

I would have loved to see Raps messing up her realtionship with Varian in a way that was in character for her, more than just once until Varian finally cracked. That would have been noce for a change, it would give the characters a bit more dimension and it would raise the stakes as well as make the antagonists motivation more personal

    Well at first Cass didn't really did anything, yes she took the Opal but even she didn't have malicious plans back then and no one really understood what's her deal. We have to wait till Cassandra's revenge, there she really shows that she is dangerous (and maybe with red rocks but she didn't even meant to do that) and right after that Varien is already preparing project obsidian and guards are ready to fight her and Rapunzel (Cassadra is her first and only not just an acquaintance friend beside Eugene after 18 yr in tower) and maybe Eugene are the only one who really cares for her and are hoping to get her back (and her father ofc) the rest of the kingdom thinks of her as villain and traitor even before she attacks, even Lance who travel among her side didn't really care. And like you said Varien wasn't really that close to Rapunzel, they met just few times, I know in english or at least in cartoons you call basically everyone you know a friend but that doesn't really alleys mens the same, I would never call guy I met ones to do research with and another time stealing from my Father a friend, in polish he would be called just an acquaintance.

    @@late_prince8945 Rapunzel specifically called Varian a friend. They both considered each other to be friends not just casually aquatinted. We saw them meet a few times on screen but that does not mean that they didn't have other times they met and interacted with each other. So no, I disagree with you that they were "not friends" even if by polish cultural standards where you are from you might consider there relationship too casual to be considered friends, that is not how both Varian and Rapunzel saw each other. They were friends, Varian just isn't Rapunzel's BEST friend. Cassandra much more near and dear to Rapunzel's heart and is her closest and cherished best friend and considers her to be her sister. So it does make sense that regardless of the harshness of Cassandra and Rapunzel's fall out that Rapunzel would try harder to smooth things over with Cassandra above anyone else. However, I still personally feel that Rapunzel gave up on Varian too quickly. In my opinion how Rapunzel handled things with Varian after the blizzard incident just seemed out of character for her. I know she had a lot on her plate during and after the incident with the storm, but given Rapunzel's character and compassionate nature it seemed weird she would not check up on him. Over all I am saying I feel even regardless of how much more Cassandra means to Rapunzel over Varian, I still felt a smidge irritated that Varian got given up on quicker than I feel Rapunzel would have given up on any one else. Also Cassandra may not have been as ride or die as Varian when he went up against Rapunzel, but she was acting out of spite when she took moon opal because she wanted to let Rapunzel know she was taking something from her and making it her own.

    I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I really don’t like the series because they completely ruined Flynn’s character. They reduced him to the dumb boyfriend side character in favor of cassandra and gave all the development and emotional scenes to rapunzel and cassandra when in the movie it was about rapunzel and flynn and they were completely equal and equally developed. In the series flynn is completely sidelined and the trauma he should have is never mentioned. Instead it’s all about cassandra. It’s because of frozen, they gave rapunzel a sister and focused only on the sister relationship while dumping down the boyfriend. I really hate that, flynn deserves better! I also think they ruined rapunzel and Flynn’s relationship. Rapunzel not only always takes him for granted, she also lets cassandra constantly insult him and says nothing, keeps secrets from him in the first episode and rejects his proposals even though she was willing to give up her entire freedom and basically her entire life just for him in the movie. And now your telling me she would let another person constantly insult him, lie to him, take him for granted and even reject him? Are you kidding me??? This seems so out of character for rapunzel. I could believe it if she wasn’t willing to give up her life for him in the movie but she was! Like that it seems just out of character. And it’s also completely unrealistic for the time period they live in to reject a proposal and then still be together. Back then you could only be together if you were engaged or married, that’s why all the princesses marry so early, it’s just fitting for the time period and I hate it when people criticize the other princesses for marrying so early when that’s only how things worked back then, you had to be married or engaged other else you couldn’t be together. And I hate it that she rejected his proposal and then was allowed to still date him in the series that’s not realistic for the time period. If you want a modern relationship you should let it take place in today’s time not the 18th century! And if the writers didn’t want her to be married yet they should have just let them be engaged at least. I hate how they portrayed marriage as a prison for rapunzel even though she loves him. Marriage only means you can’t break up with this person anymore and if she really loved him she wouldn’t consider a life with him as a prison. I mean this is the person for whom she was willing to give up her entire life! I just don’t get it! And I also don’t think flynn would even propose in front of so many people, in the movie he valued private moments like in the lantern scene or the kingdom dance scene. It just seemed out of character for him just like all the other moments in the series with him where he was just stupid or arrogant even though he seemed rather smart in the movie and his arrogance just seemed like an act. I mean he took the Identity of the flynn rider book character and I always assumed it was just the character who was arrogant and dated many girls and that flynn just acted like him but was different on the inside. In the series they made it look like that was his real personality, not just an act and I hate that. Why can’t the writers look deeper??? And why did they have to give him an ex girlfriend and imply he was a player before??? That ruins the romantic relationship because in real life players can’t settle down with just one girl, they will cheat and break up. And they basically imply that flynn is such a guy in the series. And don’t tell me players can chane, I know someone who has experiences with that and knows that players can’t settle down for good! They completely destroyed the romance by implying Flynn was such a guy before and they destroyed the relationship by having Rapunzel only care about her bff and not the person she supposedly loves and for whom she was willing to sacrifice herself. Ugh, I hate the series!

    What makes me feel worse about this stupid series is that I listened to the Tangled Songs and Story CD and there the narrator literally says at the end that Flynn mattered more to Rapunzel than anything which is true in the movie but definitely false in this stupid series. There it always seems Like Cassandra Matters more to her than Flynn and that makes the whole ending of the movie unbelievable where she was willing to sacrifice herself Just to save him because she Loved him so much. So it Just makes No logical Sense that she would suddenly Always Put a Person she met afterwards before him If she really loved him as much as in the movie. And I hate that she is such a hypocrite in the series who lets Cassandra Always insult him without saying a Word but gets Mad when her supposed true Love for whom she wanted to Go to hell says Something against Cassandra. That is the Most toxic relationship I've ever Seen. FLYNN DESERVES BETTER! And what I hate about the whole marriage Thing in this context is that they are basically saying that it's Not ok to marry someone whom you deeply and truly Love after a few months but it's OK to try to give up your entire freedom and basically your entire life for someone whom you Just met three days ago. If they Love each other that much that they would do Something Like that after only having known each other for a few days than their Love is so strong and true and then they could and should marry after a Short time Especially considering the time period the movie is Set where they could only truly be together after being married. And If Disney wanted to Show a couple Not marrying so soon they should have taken a different couple than Rapunzel and Flynn because they proved how deeply and truly they Loved each other after a few days and since they almost Lost each other it would make Sense that they wouldn't want to lose more time together after they saw how Short life can be and besides, their Story Takes place in a time where people married early. They should have rather Had Tiana and Naveen marry only after a few years because they dont seem Like they fit very well together and didnt try to die for each other after a few days and furthermore their Story Takes place in the 1920s, Not the 1700s. They would have been perfect for Not marrying immidiately, Not Rapunzel and Flynn who seem like the worst candidates for this in my opinion. And that whole rejecting marriage plotline is the worst Storyline I've ever Seen. They send the Message that marriage is a prison even though you Love each other and that is such a horrible Message. And it's Especially horrible how in the Episode beyond the Corona walls, it seems Like that she never wanted to marry him at the beginning of the Episode which raises the question why the hell she is even still with him If a life with him seems so horrible to her and also why the hell she wouldn't want to marry the man she Loved that much that she wanted to Go to prison for for all eternity in the movie. It Just doesn't make any logical Sense and is inconsistent with the movie and also the Wedding Short where she looked so deeply in Love and so incredible Happy. It Just doesn't make Sense that she would have rejected the proposal before. And whats worse is that in that Episode it seems Like she only changed her mind about marriage because Stalyan wanted him which makes it seem like she only wants him when another girl wants him which is so incredible toxic. And I'm pretty Sure the writers of Tangled intended for tangled ever After to Take place shortly after the movie because the little girls of the movie seemed to be the Same age in the Short and Wikipedia also states it was originally intended to Take place immediately after the movie. The series Just doesn't seem believable and seems Like it Takes place in a completely different universe as the movie. And I Just can't consider it Canon because of all These reasons and it's obvious that it was written by someone else than the movie. So, Right now I Just Count it as Not Canon to still be able to watch the movie. If I Had to Count it as Canon, then I Wish Flynn would have stayed dead at the end of the movie and wasnt brought back to life. It would have been a very sad and tragic ending but it would have at least been better than showing such a toxic relationship between two characters who were both trying to sacrifice themselves for each other.

    Hey to be fair Cass’s motivation was a lot different than what you went into. Cass has always felt like Raps outshines her and nobody has ever given her chances she thought she deserved. There’s been many times where Cass thought she could do something but nobody believed in her or somebody else outshined her. Finding out her own mother left her for Raps was the final straw where she saw that she’d never surpass her friend and she decided to do something for once that nobody could ignore. There were hints of her becoming a villain from even the first movie episode thing.

Flynn is no longer a cynical , charming thief, but a conceited obnoxious fool. Rapunzel is not the naive but loveable girl, she acts like she's supposed to be that but is then passive aggressive and condescending and this never fully gets acknowledged.

    @@ArcherWillows Yeah season 2 was a bit too slow for me too, and I usually like character driven episodes. To be honest, I quit watching after the season 3 mid-finale so I don't really have any opinion on him as a villain. I didn't even properly know his name until this video. Yeah, it's a shame because I really did like it and think season 1 and the start of season 2 were great. But for me the characters are everything, and if the characters can't hold up the story, then there's no point in watching it. Rapunzel got turned into a god tier Mary Sue who is never in the wrong and nothing bad ever happens to her, Eugene and Lance weren't as funny anymore, Varian got turned into a preachy background character, and Cass just sucked as a villain (even though I was honestly rooting for her). It was just like, this is what the show could've been from the start but they purposefully avoided it. So seeing it devolve into this was really sad and frustrating. You're right. I'm not super good with words and at that comment did partially come out of my frustrations at the show so I was lazy and didn't particularly care how it sounded. I probably should've written something more like, "Did we watch a different show or something?" Idk not good with words And I mean, musically and vocally NLTL is good. Obviously the singers are good at singing and the music isn't bad. Stripping away everything else, it's decently pretty to listen to I suppose. I didn't like it, but I didn't dislike it either. My main problem with it is how it didn't seem to fit narratively. It's kind of pointless- nothing really changes plot wise, Varian doesn't get her to change her mind or even doubt herself, and we could've had a 30 sec scene of Varian trying to convince her with a normal conversation and it'd fulfill the same purpose. The lyrics are vague and kind of redundant, half of it is just restating things that have already been said, and all the metaphors, symbolism and imagery from the past songs are just gone, or lacking. Like, "you cant stop the turning on the screws"? What kind of metaphor is that? Generally, turning a screw is harder than not turning a screw, hence why you need a tool to do it. And "lose your way and lose the thread"? What thread? What does that mean?? Like a thread on a comment section? Or like Cass is a cat? I liked the last line, but everything else feels so uninspired, like it was made by a different team entirely. And with all the dark-light themes and "lose your faith and lose your soul" stuff, it honestly kind of sounds like a song you'd hear in a Christian music camp. Maybe it's just me but I can't unhear it. I mean no disrespect, just trying to explain my opinion.

Not to mention this show got amazing reviews. My expectations were extremely high when I watched it. There for it probably effected my actual view of it. On paper it's an alright show but I feel like it kept getting worse and worse by season. I felt as if the characters were incredible dumbed down. II'm being 100% honest I really disliked Cass. She was in my opinion extremely annoying and honestly just felt so- I don't know how to put this but bratty and generic cool girl. Her motivation was really dumb for me and I couldn't stand her relationship with Rapunzel. It all felt just really off and the only thing I honestly can say I enjoyed about the series was Varien. He was pretty decently written and I liked his whole science geek thing even if it was also pretty generic. I wasn't a huge fan of the whole magical aspect eaither because in my view at least when I watched tangled it was sort of implied magic wasn't really a thing in that universe expect for Rapunzel's hair. So all the magic just seemed really forced and It doesn't really make sense eaither considering the reactions to Rapunzels hair in the movie. I really disliked it but I suppose I can see why others loved it.

She was originally conceived as someone who only pretended to be Rapunzel's friend and was carrying out Mother Gothel's wishes, but the creators liked her too much as she was being developed, and so she became a friend who was manipulated into villainy.

The song is good but also that animation?? Especially with the spinning shot?? If only the rest of the show was that good I def would have kept watching lol

    I don’t know how to begin. I agree the filler episodes are meh at best, but that doesn’t necessary take away from the highs of the show. Yes, the show is playful and not to serious, and yes it is appealing to younger audiences (Disney Princesses always are); however, this show is more about the character relationship. Ex: Rapunzul (excused me spelling) and Flynn show a great example of communication between partners and friends. The show also deals with trauma pretty well for a kids show (or any show). They have an entire episode after the Winter 2 parter in season 1 about how that effected Rapunzel. They do the same with Rapunzel dreaming about Gothel and Varian dreaming about everyone hating him and his father being trapped in amber. They also deal with the characters fears in Be Very Afraid in season 3. Also, we concerning Rapunzel wanting to please everyone, you have to remember that she was trained by Gothel to please her. After finding out that Gothel never loved her that doesn’t change that she still was abused and is still somewhat abused by her father who does some of the same things to her. All of the character have great continuation from the film(or introductions if they are new), solid arcs, individual life’s that are happening off screen(that we see progress of overtime when Rapunzel sees then again), and good endings. The villains like Varian and Cass are more about there relationships with Rapunzel. Varian wanted to prove that he was a good son so he tried to bring his father back in any way he could. Rapunzel somewhat betrayed him so he blames her even if it’s his fault. He’s character makes sense as does his motives in season three to erase people’s memories of him being the villain (because it is later shown he is terrified that people will hate him). As for Cass, she feels over shadowed by the Princess, who honestly wasnt a very good friend to Cass (invaded privacy, bossed her around, nearly got her sent away from the kingdom, etc.). Cass realized that her whole life she “had been cast aside for (Rapunzel)” and she wasn’t going to stand for that anymore. So because she was manipulate by the end villain (idk how to spell her name) she took the first opportunity she had and ran with it. I agree her plan is dumb. She should have maybe been working with Varian to erase the minds of the kingdom so that they respect her... but oh well. Even the “main villain” questions her plan saying some thing like: so your plan is to run away? Either way Cassandras motives and clear and have been around since the beginning they didn’t just spring up a few episodes before Season 3, they were just heighten by new information being presented to her. Also Adira and Hector mock her for being a Lady in waiting. So I’m why are we surprised she betrayed everyone. Back to the demon main villain. She was never the “main villain” and that is because the story was never about facing her. It is stated in the beginning of the finally three parter that it’s a story of two best friends. This shows is about relationships not evil demons, which is why she isn’t that important. The scene were Cass finally lets her feelings out to Rapunzel is more important than defeating the villain at least for how the story is written. Once the two begin to work together again they win, because the show has to end with them winning. Yeah it’s a bit... a lot lame and rushed. But that’s fine because the villain dying isn’t what makes the finally special, it’s the relationship between Rapunzel and Cass, like I’ve mentioned. One more thing I’ll say is: this isn’t just for kids and this show does a great job at peeking interest. The songs and bops for most ages, the characters are relatable most of the time, the art is fabulous, the plot lines intertwine and are set up from the beginning, and their is just enough plot in each filler episode to keep them interesting. I hate filler episodes so I just skip them or watch the important scenes, but to say this show is average is wrong (in my opinion). This shows does a lot of things really well. All shows have filler. But even in the filler there is either a continuation of character, fleshing out of character, building of complex relationships which result in why the characters stay friends in the end, seemingly unimportant information that is revealed and is important later. This show is probably my favorite Tv show. I may be in it’s target demographic because I’m young (mid-teen), and I love Rapunzel, but still I understand poor writing and this isn’t that. This was long, and not a hate comment. I just wanted to make some points, and raise some thoughts. Also, this is probably the best follow up to Disney movie ever. Frozen 2 got nothing on this show don’t @ me. Have a good day!

It seemed like she was just grabbing power for the sake of it, while blindly lashing out against Rapunzel, like she was trying to prove she was better just to feel better about herself.

    @@ThePreciseClimber In recent days I've developed my own personal theory, which Disney would NEVER have had the guts to follow through with: Cassandra was the illegitimate daughter of the king. Mother Gothel had bewitched the king into sleeping with her, just to see if she could control the most powerful man in the kingdom. Maybe she was even secretly raising Cass in order to have a shot at the throne later on, but things went badly and she had to abandon that plan. Later, halfway through the series, Cass finds out who she actually is, and is enraged at having to be the servant of her half sister while being overlooked her whole life. This would reframe her entire attitude and motivation to make complete sense.

    i totally agree about this being a kid's show, and there's nothing wrong with that! but it was quite a shock to me when i went into the show after the first season had ended and having already spoiled the varian villain plot for myself. I assumed it would be a bit more "mature" for lack of a better word. i enjoyed the plot heavy episodes, but overall the show was not for me. i think i was also taken aback by rapunzel's writing. in the movie, rapunzel was kind and naive while still displaying moments of distrust and anger. so while it is true that writing kind characters is hard, the movie did it wonderfully. however, i felt that the show made her over the top kind and a tad annoying, which i would be able to overlook if this was simply a kids show, but it made the plot heavy episodes a bit hard to sit through while watching this version of rapunzel handling them.
