Round 1: Cassandra v Shorty

Cassandra (Tangled The Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure 2017-20)

Don't get me wrong, I like her as a character, but she got to have a major plotline and tons of screentime SOLELY because of being the director's favoritest OC, to the point of multiple main and side characters being pushed aside for her, including Eugene himself, with her being used in his place to make a lot of cheap references to the original movie. Much of the fandom believes her arc to have been poorly executed, awkward, and unrealistic (why would Gothel have had a real baby? Why is Cassandra so upset that Rapunzel was "wanted" more than her and therefore was abused for 18 years? Why was this upset so great that she betrayed and tried to kill her supposedly closest friend?)

Shorty (Tangled 2010, Tangled The Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure 2017-20)

While tame in the film due to being a fairly small gag in the Snuggly Duckling ensemble, Shorty appeared way too much in the sequel series with such inane attempts at non sequitur humor that got really annoying really fast. He was even included in the traveling party in season 2 for more of the same drunken comic relief, and I wish they ditched him in Vardaros.

What is the "Worst"? think about character development/design, audience response, unmet potential, personal reaction

[tangledbea]

Eugene, if you'll forgive me bringing up such a sensitive topic, do you ever find Cass reminding you of Stalyan?

Eugene later does think about Cassandra having some similar level of sass as his old flame, but pushes those thoughts far, far away.

He literally just proofed to everyone that he is ready to commit to this new life. The past has no more space in his mind.

[tangledbea]

I always kind of assumed they did. I also kind of assumed that they got her a birthday present every year, and they keep it all in the same room, the gifts laid out in chronological order.

This just hit me, what if Arianna and Frederic kept all of Rapunzel’s old baby stuff?

[tangledbea]

A small baby finds his first love.

Creatures and Races from Tangled the Series

Hyper-Intelligent Animal

Are you an animal sidekick in Tangled? Then you're hyper-intelligent! Hyper-intelligent animals appear in most -- if not all -- episodes.

Ghost/Spirit/Poltergeist

Whether they have a mind of their own like Ruth or a mindless need to protect the Moonstone, ghosts are real in this series! Ghosts/Spirits/Poltergeists appear in S1Ep13 "The Wrath of Ruthless Ruth" and S2Ep24 "Destinies Collide Part 2."

Uumlaut

Don't let the cute face fool you, this critter is a swarm waiting to happen! The uumlaut appears in S1Ep15 "The Way of the Willow."

Demon/Warlock

There can be only one Big Bad in this series! (Unless you landed on Demon/Warlock on the picker wheel, in which case you're one, too!) Demon/Warlock appears in several episodes -- any featuring Zhan Tiri/Enchanted Girl, primarily in season three.

Disciple of Zhan Tiri

Two of the three known Disciples got a nifty green spirit form! The Disciples of Zhan Tiri appear in S1Ep18 "Painter's Block," S2Ep19 "Mirror, Mirror," S2Ep20 "You're Kidding Me!" S2Ep21 "Rapunzeltopia," and S2Ep22 "Lost and Found."

Sneeze Weasel

Never trust Lance to find you a critter based on a crayon drawing Eugene made. Sneezy the sneeze weasel appears in S2Ep04 "Goodbye and Goodwill."

Slayer Wolf

How is a slayer wolf different from a regular wolf? It's bigger, I guess? More vicious? Anyway, slayer wolves were given a specific name, so they made the list! Slayer wolves appear in S2Ep05 "Forest of No Return."

Pupshroom

The Forest of No Return: where food eats you! Pupshrooms appear in S2Ep05 "Forest of No Return."

Drexes

A spider-bat creature big enough to eat a person! Drexes appear in S2Ep05 "Forest of No Return."

Bird Fae

Not only are they mysterious fancy people who inexplicably live in the middle of the woods and serve tea that turns people into birds and use mushrooms as patio furniture, they also vanish into a shower of sparkles when their tea set is destroyed. You can't convince me they're not fae. The bird fae appear in S2Ep06 "Freebird."

Kirlok

It's like a bear, but with way more horns! It also comes in adorable cub size! Kirloks appear in S2Ep08 "Keeper of the Spire," and S3Ep15 "Race to the Spire."

Lorb

The natives of Terapi Island, Lorbs are the leaf people with German accents. For some reason. The Lorbs appear in S2Ep09 "King Pascal," S2Ep11 "Happiness Is..." S3Ep12 "Islands Apart," and very briefly in S2Ep12 "Peril On the High Seas."

Mermaid

I'm sure you know what a mermaid is, but just in case you don't remember Seraphina, specifically... The mermaid appears in S2Ep10 "There's Something About Hook Foot."

Vodnik

They come in salt water and a light blue fresh (or frozen?) water variety! Vodniks appear in S2Ep10 "There's Something About Hook Foot," and S3Ep15 "Race to the Spire."

Mirror Doppelganger

It's like the real you, but an evil monster verson! Mirror doppelgangers appear in S2Ep19 "Mirror, Mirror."

Eyeball Spider

Not actually an eyeball, but with unfortunate markings that makes it perfectly suited to hide in otherwise empty skulls. Eyeball spiders appear in S2Ep22 "Lost and Found."

Werewolf

Though Tangled's werewolves have their own lore behind them that's different from what we usually think of, that's still a person transformed into a ferocious wolf! Werewolves appear in S3Ep04 "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?" and briefly in S3Ep09, "Be Very Afraid," and S3Ep17 "Plus Est En Vous."

Undead

These skeletal undead act as a sort of security system against thieves. There's only one way to stop them (and it's not a head shot, they'll just pull themselves back together again). The undead appear in S3Ep05 "The Lost Treasure of Herz der Sonne."

Sea Serpent

This mama will do anything to protect her eggs, including sinking your two-masted ship! The sea serpent appears in S3Ep08 "The King and Queen of Hearts".

Dragon

The dragons in Tangled hold the unique property of being able to transfer physical features and abilities to those they care about! Dragons appear in S3Ep11 "Pascal's Dragon."

Illusionary Wish Person

Wish on a coin and throw it into the well, but the person who appears won't have a shadow. The illusionary wish person appears in S3Ep12 "Islands Apart."

Giant Disembodied Hand

We don't know what this thing is, but it's aggressive and doesn't like Eugene! Fortunately, it can be defeated with a little hand-to-hand combat. The giant disembodied hand appears in S3Ep15 "Race to the Spire."

Giant Mole

Completely blind, this creature lives entirely underground and relies on her sense of hearing to navigate. She carries her baby on her back or head. The giant moles appear in S3Ep16 "A Tale of Two Sisters."

Embodiment of a Celestial Gem

Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens... If you possess the celestial gem, you gain incredible powers based on a heavenly body. The embodimets of a celestial gem appear through the entire series, since Rapunzel is one the whole time, with varying degrees of her power awakened.

[tangledbea]

I don’t know if you heard this question but how did Cassandra get owl? Was he a gift from her father or did she find him the woods alone and took him in?

There's no canonical answer for this, but I doubt he was a gift, because owls aren't generally bred as pets.

We know she has compassion for animals, releasing that rat out of the palace, so it wouldn't surprise me if she found Owl, potentially injured, and nursed him back to health, then started training him.

Owl isn't a pet. Most of the time, he's not even around. I doubt that he lives, for example, in the palace rookery. But when I look through my references of Cassandra's room, there's not even a perch for him in there! Therefore, I conclude that Owl is wild, but is trained to come to Cassandra and follow her orders. Plus, as one of the series' hyper-intelligent animals, he can make his own decisions on who to relay information to, and whether or not Cassandra is in the right.

15th Anniversary Plush Doll🩷💜

[tangledbea]

We've gathered here today in celebration of men with pretty brown eyes

[tangledbea]

Now that you mention it, in DC Lance ran into him full speed and he didn't even budge, whereas Lance went splat against his chest.

While we're on the subject of King Edmund only having one arm, I'd say without question that he's the naturally physically strongest human in the series. (Other characters are supernaturally stronger.)

I can't find a good screencap of it (probably too much squash and stretch), but bro hammer-tossed a Stabbington with one arm. Rapunzel is very strong, but most of her strength is somewhat reliant on a tool (her hair).

[tangledbea]

Add away! I fully endorse this!

ROUND 3!

[tangledbea]

STOP GANG R WE COOKED 😭😰

[tangledbea]

"i will die your daughter" In this work I wanted to convey how recklessly and selflessly Raps loved her mother. I spent an insane amount of time on her...

[tangledbea]

I promise that I'm just a person, and not a celebrity. 😘

Explain to me why I am so honored today.

[tangledbea]

I still quote this conversation all the time. XD And, "No. Denied." Is still my fallback when some joke is so stupid it's just not funny.

Tangled The Series: “Lost and Found”

[tangledbea]

Ah, the crackiest thing the series did to us. XD

Fun Fact! Back in the day, when we first found out that Vigor was Demanitus "The monkey is Demanitus," became synonymous with saying that anything can happen, up until the end of the show.

When someone sent me an ask speculating or theorizing, even if it was completely off the wall, I would reply, "You never know! The monkey is Demanitus, after all!"

I FORGOT THE MONKEY WAS DEMANITUS THE INVENTOR
