#eh its not video games so i cant put it on my sideblog but its still a

[binalakai]

so guess who decided to watch tangled: before ever after instead of sleeping at a decent time

RUBS HANDS.

-OKAY so its obvious that this takes place preproposal in a different universe aka that one tangled short at the wedding? NOT canon here

-groundbreaking compared to the first? Ofc not its a disney tv movie i didnt have too high expectations

-that said tho it WAS cute and i rlly did like the conflict in the stort aside from the hair stuff that i wont get into yet. it goes onto rapunzel having understandable dislike with having to live her life under overprotective rule in a castle while eugene being the opposite, relishing in what he can with his life now being cared for in expenses and being loved.

-i also found the humor well..not laugh my Ass off considering how my humor is different than tv y7 stuff but man im so glad eugene still has a jokey personality while also being genuine when he needs to be without being forced

-i DID do a wiki binge on cassandras background aka rapunzels handmaiden a bit but imo her introduction couldve been a lot clearer? like is she a handmaiden? a friend? how did she come to be? u all that in the wiki n its not as clear in the movie which is a shame >8T i still like her tho!!! c: ngl with her design i expected her to be a bitch at first but later a sidechick. im glad her and rapunzel were friendly off the bat or at least not at each others throats

-also i like eugene and cassandras little banter n teasing!! tho alas i hope during the series they learn to not get on each others backs passive aggressively when rapunzel is around

-also for a tv movie i didnt expect the camera angles to be really good >8Yc was expecting a lotta flat angles but i was pleasantly surprised :D

-that said!!! unpopular opinion as a newbie to the series: i love the art style!! i think its rlly expressive n fluid n it looks like a childbooks drawing in all the good ways possible. the use of flash isnt always a bad thing :y heck i wish Netflix's Legend Quest could take some notes on this wrt just being able to make flash/cheaper animation not look ass ugly

-i wont spoil the ending but lemme just say it ends a TAD more dismal then what u'd expect but just remember its a movie that leads to a series so ;V

-now for things i didnt like entirely: im mega gay for lady caine but uh. weak villain imo at her full appearance moments BUT i DIDNT see a certain twist coming though but i love the foreshadowing before her final entrance game through. she has potential!! im not sure if i wanna see her come back though

-her dude gang had weak designs, voice acting, and lines in general

-actually tbh moments of badassery tend to be very weak wrt dialogue execution but eh i cant expect everything to be an epic oneliner

-iiim not a fan of the king dads voice either . prob nitpicking here

ANYWAY TO WRAP IT UP UHH

fuck ngl tangled wasnt even my Most favorite disney princess movie..! but after some sneakpeaks into the series as well as a braintune from it sung by Problematic Fave apparently Varian im definitely hooked into seeing more from the series >83c i cant wait to get started!
