Tired of pretending this series didnāt completely butcher the original story AND disrespect German culture. The real Rapunzel (yes, Brothers Grimm Rapunzel) was locked in a tower, traumatized, and STILL said yes to her prince the first time. Why? Because in that time, marriage wasnāt just about loveāit was survival. There was no dating for years. An unmarried couple couldnāt even be together, especially if she was royalty. Thatās literally the point of the fairy tale.
So WHY do Tangled stans act like she had to reject the proposal? Why is ācommitment takes timeā only a valid message when itās about marriageābut totally fine when she was ready to die for him after three days? If dying together is okay, but getting married isnāt... thatās not "modern values," thatās hypocrisy. š
Also, that āwe got married eventuallyā line? It was a JOKE. Tangled Ever After clearly happens right after the movie. Same creators. Same flower girls who didnāt age a day. But yāall out here rewriting canon and acting like itās deep.
Meanwhile, the older princessesāAriel, Cinderella, Auroraāget trashed constantly just for marrying quickly, when that was normal for their time. It wasnāt ārushed romance,ā it was historical accuracy. And now we act like the original Rapunzelās choice to marry is a problem too? Like... do you even know the source material?
If Disney hated the old story this much, they shouldāve just made up a new character. Stop erasing the original meaning of these tales just to push modern agendas. And stop pretending that this Rapunzel is the same character. Sheās not.
This isnāt āprogress.ā This is just disrespect.
