Disney's Tangled is a fun and entertaining animated film with a really
unique art style based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel tangle told an
endearing story that quickly put it into the category of Disney's classics but
like most Disney films tangled sparked all sorts of fan theories no no no this
fan this is very very bad some of the ideas make sense some will
shock you and others will just leave you in disbelief I'm Teresa with wicked
bench get ready to pull some of your hair out because these are shocking
theories about Disney's Tangled that will blow your mind
let's get started mother Gothel is the Evil Queen from Snow White
Mother Gothel it's just a pseudonym for the Evil Queen in Snow White
well it may seem a bit far-fetched at first there's actually plenty of
thinking behind this theory let's set the scene first the Evil Queen's name is
grim Hilda both their names start with G Snow White and Rapunzel take place in
Germany so there's no conflict geographically what if time turned the
Evil Queen into an older woman yes she did fall from the cliff but
hypothetically what if she survived and it happened to be the same cliff with
the flower at the beginning of the movie you can see a large rock that supposedly
crushed her after discovering the magical flower she didn't have to worry
about snow-white anymore and the Queen was sneaky she waited for a couple of
decades before returning to the spotlight I mean the Seven Dwarves and
their woodland critters chased her down as if they were about to burn her at the
stake she definitely had to lie low for a while who would suspect that she's
actually grimhilde instead of Mother Gothel that new identity saved her from
needless attention then consider the fact that both movies have her seemingly
falling to her death at the end in Snow White it was the cliff in Rapunzel it
was the tower although in Rapunzel she was already disintegrating as the spell
broke there's even more this theory sheds new light on the whole
situation of Gotham kidnapping Rapunzel when the king and
queen died Gothel could enter the scene with a princess that had gone missing
then she could regain the former power as a queen by using Rapunzel Gothel
could easily say that oh I found Rapunzel after she had been kidnapped
and she didn't tell her because she didn't know her real family that way
there were fewer feelings hurt sneaky sneaky lady she can't keep getting away
with this the crown represents the virginity
according to a pretty commonly circulated theory the crown entangled is
nothing more than a metaphor for purity when you watch the campfire scene you
need to replace the crown with the idea of Rapunzel's virginity and then
everything makes sense well kind of mother Gothel tells Rapunzel that Flynn
is after only one thing supposedly it's the tiara and once he gets it he will
leave Rapunzel because he never cared about her in death well okay maybe that
sentiment does make a bit of sense you can definitely see the connection sorry
my hands are full also her hair could be seen as a symbol of virginity as it
received power from a magical flower then Flynn deflowered Rapunzel because
he slashed her hair and will hit you even harder when you listen to mother
knows best on the movie soundtrack take the visuals away and you can still pick
up on the overall theme pretty easily I know I'm safe as long as I'm here
Flynn's parents rejected him what if at least one of Flynn's parents isn't dead
and they just rejected him maybe Flynn finds his own story so dark
that he doesn't bring it up and not even for the fields so there are two options
I'll spare you the sob story his mother is alive but she couldn't
marry his father after pregnancy the only way to escape the situation without
becoming an unmarried mother was to leave Flynn at an orphanage that would
have been followed by a quick disappearance or Flynn's
father is alive and didn't want anything to do with his mother after she got
pregnant he was already married maybe she was
just too far below him in the hierarchy in any case the idea of a baby was just
embarrassing even if Lin's mother died the father
still wanted to erase any mark of him ever existing let's get this over with
Ryder that could explain something about Flynn he doesn't feel bad about stealing
from the rich if someone really powerful treated him badly only on the grounds of
his class then Flynn would have no empathy towards any people representing
this rank Rapunzel still has magic Rapunzel might not have her magic hair
anymore but maybe it was only one of the sources the only reason her tears didn't
power the magic was the lack of singing at that moment magic hair that glows
when I see while healing Flynn she had just finished singing and if she were to
remove her tear ducts the magic would still need to escape it would just move
to the next available body part another guess is that channeling the magic
through the hair was the easiest option but it was less potent when Rapunzel
saying she could heal wounds or restore youth for a shorter period of time
channeling through her tears was so strong that somebody could regain life
it's just that love and the accompanying emotions were needed as well this is
part of growing up Korona is in Scotland or Ireland people
assumed tangled takes place in Germany and yes it was a component of our first
theory even the prime reason for this is the fact that the fairy tale is German
but when you take a closer look at Corona there really isn't anything
German about the place when you think about the culture and geography Ireland
or Scotland would make more sense Germany has more blond people compared
to Scotland Corona lacks blondes characters Rapunzel herself doesn't
count because her hair color results from the power of magic the corona
people have dark hair and blue or green eyes their skin is quite pale Scotland
yup a better match than Germany and consider the song called
Kingdom dance this track carries a Celtic sound complete with relevant
instruments that's Irish are Scottish traditional German music finally in
Rapunzel and the last Lagoon the corona and winter is described as super windy
and rainy with a lot of sleet hmm that sounds a bit more Scottish than the
German continental climate now if that's the case rapunzel should befriend Merida
from brave Rapunzel is immortal this theory
proposes that Rapunzel's tears are way more potent compared to her hair bring
back her tear glands would provide an unstoppable force of healing and revival
if it doesn't seem plausible enough just consider how she has no issues running
barefoot all day long when she got out of the tower actually that would be the
only way Mother Gothel could preserve eternal youth and beauty you won't to go
outside let's say that Flynn never came and Rapunzel didn't make the journey to
the kingdom she would have just stayed in the tower for the rest of her days
Rapunzel's mortal version wouldn't have too many days left she would get old and
die the miracle of her hair would perish and that includes Mother Gothel
the flower survived for hundreds of years without any decay everything makes
much more sense if Rapunzel is immortal mother Gothel was motivated by love
mother Gothel managed to do much more than just keep herself beautiful during
her hundreds of years of life she fell in love countless times unfortunately
all of the guys dumped her and her long life allowed her to live longer than
some of the suitors mother Gothel tried to sustain a positive mindset but after
decades of trying she could see that no man would really love her and when the
time came to hand over the power to Rapunzel looks were the last truly
important thing to her she tried to hold on to the power as long as she possibly
could that would clearly explain her distrust
the Flynn as well yes the wanted thief I'm so proud and Gothel never wanted
Rapunzel to leave the tower at least never to meet a guy Gothel was so afraid
that Rapunzel's heart would be broken by someone like Flynn
this theory received a lot of feedback most fans agreed that if Gothel loved
Rapunzel then it was a selfish emotionally abusive and twisted love oh
look you you two Gothel would need years of therapy even
that wouldn't guarantee finding healthy ways to love Rapunzel magic works like a
drug it's not just a magic flower it works like a dangerous drug that can
really mess up your life just look at Mother Gothel when she first used its
healing powers the flower probably gave her something like an extra lifetime but
she was vain the moment Gothel saw anything resembling a wrinkle on her
face she immediately used its power again
that means she wasted all the additional years she would have had before needing
to use the flower again like a hopeless crackhead
she used the flower again again again as the centuries passed she developed more
tolerance the drug dependence was more than real it consumed her life puzzle
that's demented now when we get to the times that the movie takes place in she
needs just a couple of hours to age her from her 20s to her 50s she's hooked on
magic when you quickly cut her off from the source she turned soon into dust
that's how quick the aging process has become because of her rampant addiction
and let's consider Flynn here he used it only once for an injured hand when his
life is restored most likely he gets a whole lifetime and he wouldn't be
dependent on it later he can carry on his life without the destructive magic
addiction what do you think about some of these weird theories do any of them
