oh hey look Unpopular Opinions

got Hella bored recently and decided “ya know what I'm gonna watch the tangled series again”

and if the dipshits on Reddit are anything to go by apparently my whole existence hinges on offending as many people as I can with my opinions in words I typed onto the internet with my keyboard: the Issues I had with it the first time I watched it are still there, so without further Ado and I guess mild spoilers?

Issue 1) Varian is a fucking shit. 

I know Im horrible I have no emotional attachment to the little goggle boy other than a want to jam him into a Blender set to obliterate. but heres why I hate the lil alchemist boi: he never learns the meaning of “No”. 

his entire Character Arch to becoming a villian is being told “dont touch that” and him then touching the thing anyway and then causing a fuckup because of it and then getting Pissed off because someone else doesn't have the time to clean up his mess. 

Like if he had fucked with the black rocks at any other time Rapunzel would have helped him without a second thought. BUT. and this is a big but; Rapunzel was LITTERALLY dealing with a state of emergency and her Duties as leader of her people outweighed her courtesy as a friend. 

to put it in perspective that was like Varian going to her house because he accidentally tripped his dad down the stairs and he needs an ambulance while HER HOUSE WAS ON FIRE. one of those things effects more people than the other.

so If I had Creative Control over Varian (cus I hate the use of “how to fix”) and wanted to have someone as the ‘Brilliant engineer man’ I would have just added the dabbling in Alchemy to Xander the wise old blacksmith (I mean he has a potion cabinet FFS), cus just saying I’d much prefer an adult rigging up my city with piping more than a child barely into his teens. 

and If you’re still reading this you Probably Know Exactly who Issue 2 will be

Issue 2) Cassandra is the absolute worst.

I know I know Im an asshole for thinking this but hear me out;

her relationship with Rapunzel is toxic as HELL. she has this whole arc about wanting to carve her own path so she can shine on her own and all that...and she does so by kneecaping someone else’s destiny. like seriously if she really really wanted to be the top boss bitch she had the option to leave Corona at literally any time to go out and be an Adventure Knight Lady.

but instead she clings to Rapunzel like a tick so she can constantly bitch about being overshadowed so her “betrayal” is Justified. and holy fuck she is such a godman bully to Eugene, if she had just stuck to using Flynn and Jabs about thieving, it would be...not as bad but still kinda “what the heck man?’ levels of rude. but the fact that she attacks everything and anything about him from his intelligence to his appearance and puts him down when he’s trying his Damndest to turn over a new leaf and put his old life behind him.

and Having KNOWN SOMEONE EXACTLY LIKE THAT and Knowing how much of a Joy leech they are.

the sour taste in my mouth was tangible to the point I felt like I could spit it out.

so If I had Creative Control over Cassandra, I’d make her main trait being she’s a Glory hound. she wants that fame and attention and the reason why she didn’t show up in the movie being she was one of the riders/soldiers being sent out to look for the princess and she was Hellbent on being the one to find her cus being the Hero of Corona who Found the lost Princess would be the absolute best for her and THAT is why she hates Eugene.

not because “my dads a Cop and you’re a criminal’ BS she has, But because Eugene ‘stole’ her Glory of finding the lost princess and she Envies him for his Reputation and Fame at being the best at something (even if it was Theft). make her Rivalry be with Eugene who worked his way to fame rather than Rapunzel who was birthed with magic powers.

and speaking of magic powers

issue 3) the 'lost’ healing power of the Sundrop and Eugene

dont worry I dont have many gripes with the Fitzherbert, I think the Dark Prince thing is kinda neat and the subtext of a Lost Prince and Princess finding each other is kind of sweet.

but the sundrops lack of healing power bugged me for so long watching it and then they just do it at the end, like what??? we established that the healing fucked off how can you suddenly use the healing incantation now??? like I get Movie reference is a movie reference but it inconsistent with previously established points.

so If I had Creative Control...I’d have jammed that portion of power into Eugene. Rapunzels healing power wasn’t lost when her hair was cut, it was Transferred into Eugene when she resurrected him (cus to me it looks like the light goes back into him at the end of the wow so pretty magic healing lightshow), and THAT leads into some more adorable and somewhat heartwrenching points

Rapunzel could only use her power to its full extent when she has Eugene near her since he has a fragment of the power, it could also mean that the healing incantation could only work if he has her near, like seriously Imagine the shenanigans in the tree when they find the translated healing incantation and he started glowing, or someone points out that he heals suspiciously quickly.

like really the man gets the absolute shit kicked out of him and then just walks it off, I know its a cartoon and real world standards of human recovery don't apply but hes a certified punching bag by the end of it and I call Bullshit on that.

and as the Heartwrenching implication; is the healing power the only thing that's keeping him alive or did it just restore his life and is just kind of chilling in there? will reuniting the Sundrop and Moonstone undo his reversed death or would he be able to survive it? it adds More STAKES at Risk, cus Imagine Poor Rapunzel being like “IDK what’ll happen to me but fuck that shit what about you? I dont wanna lose you again, I dont want to have to live without you.”

also him being able to Resist Zhan Tiri’s decay spell at the end cus hes got a missing fragment of the sundrop so he could go one on one with the tentacle bitch would have been fuckin bad ass man.

Okay, for anyone who doesn’t have the time to watch a ten minute cutscene, here’s a summary of what just happened:

WE ARE PUNK ASS MUMMY SKULLS

* Some bullshit happened in ye olde feudal japan * The emperor was a pile of shitballs and executed our clan as a human sacrifice. It didn’t help. * This awesome trollish god with a great voiceactor poofed down and was like “Yo!” to our severed skulls. * “Hey I don’t give a shit about the laws of the afterlife, I’m gonna randomly offer you a deal where you get ressurection’d and help me take vengeance on this other god, and the guy who killed you at the same time.” * “Wait wtf someone put a limiting curse on you that means I can only 5% revive you. Do we have another mysterious enemy somewhere?” * DA DA DOOM * So yeah that’s the premise for why each generation of your family can only live for two years. Well, aside from just so the permadeath inheritance system can go quickly enough to make good gameplay. You’re kinda technically all zombies? And you have to keep passing down this super-aging curse to a bunch of generations of half-alive children, until someone finally breaks it and earns a full lifespan again. You’re making this deal with the devil in the faint hope that you might die horribly again but your great great great grandkids might have a chance at a normal life... * Anyway trickster deity guy brings out this lady who apparantly agreed to sacrifice her life to fuel the ressurection spell? Its really vague on who she is and what’s happening?? I feel really bad cos its not super clear whether she agreed to do it at this point in the story. But she seems like One Hell Of An Ultimate Badass who breaks her shackles by flexing her damn arms and then does this metal as fuck summoning spell and doesn’t even cry when a dozen mummy skulls suck out all her blood and turn into swans somehow (???) * And then trickster god guy hugs her dead body and it seems like they were friends or lovers or related or.. something?? And she might be a deity too? Or somehow cursed?? Cos he says she’s gonna come back to life eventually or something?? I’M so confused??? * And intrigued. Very intrigued. Seriously I’m so invested in finding out all these mysteries! * ALSO who is this mysterious guy with the really fuckin funky awesome ventriloquist’s puppet shaped like a giant demon?? or is he a deity and his arm really is a whole dragon head??? i dont want him to be a villain, i want him to be a marriage candidate. let me inherit dragon face arm power!!! * man i wish this game was more popular so there was a wiki page about which deity traits can be unlocked in inheritance. I’ve seen horns in certain screenshots?? * anyway all our PUNK ASS MUMMY SKULLS exploded into MAGICAL ENERGY SWANS and flew off to distant corners of japan and turned back into people. And then trickster godman poofed a random cute dead forest animal into a guardian spirit/butler for us?? And just left us here?? * Welp, Here Goes Our Great And Sad Corpse Adventure
