The queen falling ill in her kingdom callled Corona is so ironic

"Later, someone gets mad at Rapunzel FOR being kidnapped." I HAVE NEVER HAD MY CASSANDRA DISTASTE SUMMED UP SO WELL, WHAT IS HER DAMAGE

Can we just talk about how little Rapunzel’s mom is mentioned? She’s the whole reason rapunzel got her hair in the 1st place😭😭

My favorite part of this show is how Rapunzel cuts her hair *at the same lenght Eugene did* it makes me smile and go HAH at any idiot that complains about Eugene "cutting her hair too short" like wow sorry the guy was dying and couldn't think of cutting it a little longer

"It's no wonder her weapon of choice is PAN" is such an iconic line XD

Petition for Athena to watch all of the big hero 6 franchise

cassandra's real reason to become a villain was the rage of going through a sapphic situationship like 😭😭😭😭

“The more time that passes the less I blame Varian” SO REAL! Me too. Guy is 15, they knew his father was in dangers and being like- encased, and they never bothered to be like: “hey! Maybe we should go check and make sure this FIFTEEN YERA OLD hasn’t like… essentially become an orphan.”

My favorite theory is that the moonstone made Cass ill because she gets paler and paler as season 3 goes on. Unfortunately nothing comes of it, but I would've loved if we unpacked that in a season 4. The music in this show slaps, and they really casted so many amazing singers.

I want a Rapunzel AU where it’s set in modern times where a chronically online Rapunzel learns to touch grass because of manic pixie dream boy Eugene

“Don’t you dare talk about going outside ever again! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going outside.” What a hypocrite 😂

Cassandra x Rapunzel is like adding your own oc in your fanfic to ship with a canon character so you can make the canon one gay

When this show was first announced, I thought it was just another cash grab from Disney (and it sort of was on the company’s side). But the creators really did an amazing job expanding the lore and world of Tangled. The music is fantastic, especially whenever Cassandra or Varian sing. And the story is well thought out in my opinion. I watched the show from beginning to end while it was airing, and I’m telling you the cliffhangers 😂 This show has a soft spot in my heart, and I’m glad you covered it! ❤ Edit: I'm so glad you addressed Varian and the Seven Kingdoms 😭

It’s like they took like 5 concepts for Tangled 2 and said “DO IT. ALL OF IT.”

I personally think that Rapunzel’s hair and eyes turn black and not blue is because Rapunzel already has the powers of the sundrop, making it an eclipse :3

The "no wonder her weapon of choice is pan" joke was god tier

Fun fact! My animation teacher worked on this series. They didnt have tablets, so if they needed a new hand or whatever, they had to draw a rough outline of what they needed to send to the rig people edit: He left before they got tablets, but they got them eventually

Once more, Athena flys from afar and comes back to our nest. She feeds us with the best slop of content the wilds have to offer. And once we are full once more, she flys out bravely into the sky seeking for more to return with.

The one thing we needed in season 3 that might have saved her villain arc was a full Cassandra backstory episode after be very afraid. In this episode Cassandra starts to pull away from Zahn Tiri because she knows hurting Rapunzel is too far. She would then stumble across the remains of the house of yesterday's tomorrow, which would then be magically reconstructed by Zahn Tiri and Cass would be shown more bad things about her past. Maybe she was interrogated as a four year old on the whereabouts of mother gothel to help them find the princess. (I definitely think king Fredrick would be desperate enough) Maybe her adoptive father was forced to do royal guard stuff and neglected Cassandra. Maybe Cass did things in her childhood that were well meaning, but her dad disapproved. We'd have owl maybe trying to reminder of all the good times in her life, and how much she loves rapunzel and her father. It would be interesting to see cass going back and forth between good and evil throughout the episode. Finally she'd succumb to darkness after Zahn Tiri tells her Rapunzel isn't a real friend. She'd point out how Rapunzel bever listen to Cass, or bother to try to understand how she was feeling. To seal the deal, she'd talk about what happened at the tree and say that Rapunzel easily could've grabbed the spear and used it herself, but insisted on using the decay spell, causing cass to hurt her hand. She then got mad at Cass for something that was 100% her fault. Zahn Tiri would convince Cass that no one ever truly loved and appreciated her, so why should she care for and appreciate others. Then black rocks would shoot out from the ground around cass as she succumbs to her rage. Owl, horrified by what he's seeing flies off to try to find Rapunzel. But we didn't get that. Instead we got "pascal has a dragon friend", which Athena didn't even mention because nobody freaking cares.

Imagine having the audacity to look the teen boy that you assaulted, kidnapped, tortured and drugged in the eye and say "You think I'm the *bad guy?*" like girl 😭😭😭

Ive always thought it was so weird that rapunzel and eugene meet and fall in love ON her 18th birthday, like nice save disney. 🤨

its always annoyed me how little effort mother gothel put in. like she could've so easily changed rapunzels name and just- not told her what a birthday is

It’s so cool that they got the OG voice actors back for this, an all around great cast Also this show was clearly taking casting seriously when they casted Jeremy Jordan (Jack in Newsies, Clyde in Bonnie and Clyde, now Gatsby in the Great Gatsby, etc) as varian Eden Espinosa (Maureen in Rent and original understudy of Elphaba in Wicked) as Cassandra And James Monroe Iglehart (Genie in Aladdin, King Arthur in Spamalot and he was Lafayette/Jefferson in Hamilton at one point) as Lance

Wild kratts lore, all I need is wild kratts lore. Heck you have already seen them. In odd squads there was a small cross over where Chris and Martian started doing their usual routine, then the odd squad came in to help them with something odd before leaving.

The music in this is fantastic, anything with Cassandra or Varian is an immediate win. This show made me hate Gothel even more cause she had a whole ass kid that she abandoned to steal someone else's. The Decay incantation is easily one of the coolest things ever and moon stone Cass looks fantastic. Only still kinda ship Cass and Raps because I refuse to acknowledge Gothel as her mother though I do love the ship( poly Rapunzel real)

they had no business making the series SO EXPANDED but thanks god they did

I do hate the obligatory everyone has to like everyone eposode, but honestly I do love how they don't end up friends in the end, and every time they meet it's as people with a dislike for eachother. Edit: Also I love how Varian isn't even technically a main character but still gets a hero dose of near-death experiences-

Love the commitment to swapping wigs every time the characters did. We love a costume change.

I’m still mad that Moana 2 got turned into a Movie when it was originally going to be a show. Let’s hope the Tiana show makes it through

tangled the series is one of my favorite shows, jeremy jordan deserved more than 3 songs 😭🙏

I wish companies would just go the TV series route instead of doing movie sequels. I've never even seen Tangled yet, but watched and liked the tv series.

6:31 Woah, woah, woah. “Falling”? Are we going to ignore the fact that the lizard TRIPPED HER? He is a hero

Athena with a Morgan & Morgan sponsor was not on my lore bingo card

Cassandra's moon arc was done so unbelievably dirty, I still can't believe it. It could have been a great conflict, but nooooooooooooo

Athena’s energy, dancing around in this long blonde wing, is EVERYTHING! She is slaying!

Athena changing her hair every time Rapunzel did was *chefs kiss*

Before The Owl House, this was the first Disney show I tried to follow as it was coming out. The only problem was, Disney never hic-yucking advertised anything within the third season well enough for me to know that it didn't just get cancelled after the season 2 cliffhanger.

Gotta appreciate the dedication to getting multiple wigs to match Rapunzel.

Now I wanna see the Ever After High lore recap so badly (especially the part with two dead bodies in a well)

The “Ready as I’ll Ever Be” song has lived rent free in my skull since I first heard it back in 2017

Can I just take a moment to appreciate how hilarious the add placement was? Like genuinely one of the most entertaining sponsorships I think I’ve ever seen. Athena never dissapoints

I can't wait to see how TANGLED up Athena gets in the lore !

Something you don't really talk about is how beautifully animated this series is. I'm still haunted by the way the first time Rapunzel sings the moonstones incantation looks. Girlie looks good with that flowing black hair.

As someone who cohosts a podcast about this show (Corona After Dark: A Tangled Podcast,) I love seeing other people get as sucked in as I have and share their thoughts on it! I agree that we should abolish Disney sequel movies and replace them with series with increasingly unhinged lore. More time for filler episodes that feel like fever dreams! Have an obligatory "everyone is a bird now" episode for every single show.

I love how in the lore series we’re evolving from kids shows to Disney Princess media.

I unprompted started singing Ready as I'll Ever Be the other day, if that proves how good this series is

1:13:52 On it. I absolutely love the hair changes whenever Rapunzel's does. It's nice attention to detail. Also really liked whenever you called out Cass' obliviousness to her own wrongdoings like that that one bit about the "power ascending" or the analogy of getting angry at people who you have made threats to planning to defend themselves.

I love the fact that pretty much no matter who covers this show and shared thoughts on it, everyone unanimously agrees that the reason for Cass’s turn at the end of s2 was pretty damn illogical. Like, so many ppl have agreed on this that it’s kinda hilarious that the writers couldn’t come up with a better execution for Cass’s villain arc.

Tangled is a franchise that I'm really glad Disney invested in and expanded. The amount of lore in this franchise? This was an amazing tv series and I'm so glad they created it

The Ad transition actually almost made me slip and fall as I was going down they stairs in the library, I know who to call at least!

I'll always be mad about Varian and the 7 kingdoms not happening. I highly recommend a fanfic on ao3, Varian's tangled trials by IFoundYouJustineTime and TheArtistsMuse. It's so good. The story is really well thought out, there's character development, it expands on the lore. A huge thing about it is how authentic it feel. It's written like it could be an actual show, that's a sequel to tangled. Like it captures the tone perfectly. The lore fits in with the world really well, all the tangled characters feel perfectly in character, there's even random side stuff, like filler episodes ( I know it sounds like a bad thing, but like it's the good kind of filler, that develops the relationships between characters)

One thing that makes me mad is the fact that Cassandra turns on Rapunzel even after she saw how Rapunzel acted when her memories were erased. Cassandra should know first hand that Mother Gothel had no love for Rapunzel. The fact that she is jealous that Rapunzel was “picked” over her is so stupid!

Athena looks great in the rapunzel hair

Athena used a Centaurworld audio clip halfway through the video which means SHE KNOWS WHAT IT IS!!! So I desperately need her to make a video on it

Y’all have no idea the sheer chokehold this show had on me when I was 15. I forced my cousin to watch it with me (and he eventually even started enjoying it), I’d watch it every day, sometimes during class, but because I was a quiet, studious kid the teachers never suspected a thing. I posted like 12 tangled fan fictions to ao3, I spent every waking second listening to the ost, when it came time for my birthday, all I wanted were the TTS books. I was so vocal abt my love for the show and movie that some of my teachers even started calling me Rapunzel. Like deadass once in my drama class some girls made fun of my Tourette’s and made me cry, so I walked out. When I came back to get my stuff, my teacher asked if I’d be ok and I said “yeah, I’ll go home and watch Tangled and I’ll be fine,” he looked at me and just said “you’re crazy! What is it with you and Tangled? Why Tangled??” It was intense for everyone involved. Shoutout to my cousin though for being the Varian to my Rapunzel.

I loved the hope you had for Cass's character arc and also how you legit sound like you wanna fist fight her while also simultaneously cheering her in to get with Rapunzel

There was so much that went on in this show and all the writers gave it their all for absolutely no reason.

This video's entire vibe of "No, shut up, Disney, they're poly!" Gives me so much life. I'm thriving.

God I never thought about how much chemistry ALL THREE of them have together until I watched this episode AND IT WORKS SO WELL OMG

Cass and Eugene have a Tuck and Ming-Ming type dynamic.

"when will my life begin?" more like how much life can Rapunzel live ☝ also the pan joke 🩷💛🩵

My favorite part of this episode is finding out about varians series. I’d love to hear you talk about the Disney multiverse. Like how the two red head thief’s in rapunzel are said to be brothers of Hans and how Elsa’s and Anna’s parents are the parents of Tarzan. Not to mention all the Easter eggs

BTW Varian is voiced by Jeremy Jordan, who is literally one of the best actors on broadway right now.

tangled was underrated, it deserved more seasons. it was really damn good.

I cannot put into words how much I needed Athena to plow through Tangled Lore

Beating the camera with the frying pan and then having it briefly become the pan flag was such a good bit

my favorite part was when the thing about Rapunzel never checking in on Varian was acknowledged. i mean they could've at the very least added a throw-away line about him running away and them sending someone to look for him? it was so weird my girl had the audacity to be all womp womp I broke my promise but never actually?? doing anything to fix it?? and not like Varian's father died or something... like he was literally not going ANYWHERE

Varian deserved his own TV show, I’m so sad it got cancelled. The lore of him and his dad was amazing, and I wish we got a more in depth look on them. Like bro WHY DOES HE HAVE THAT BLUE STRIPE? Was it because his dad was part of the moon stone gang? Was it his mom?? 😭🙏

I’m sure Hazbin Hotel fans already knew this but Varian’s voice actor in the Tangled Series voices Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel. I was so frikkin happy when I found out😂 Edit: Oh yeah, and Lance’s voice actor from the Tangled Series voices Asmodeus in Helluva Boss (Hazbin Hotel’s sister show)

My favorite part of this video was that it was over an hour long and SOMEHOW I managed to stay amused and engaged through the whole thing.

THIS AND VARIAN AND THE SEVEN KINGDOMS HAS BEEN MY HYPERFIXATION FOR A YEAR I SCREAMED IN JOY WHEN I SAW YOU POSTED THIS OMG

I love how everyone in this show really is just. ✨Pan vibes✨ Also, in Cass’ defense, trauma from abandonment only to learn the one person that everyone ALREADY likes more than her, end up being the one Gothel CHOSE to raise is a pretty big life change. Also, consider the idea that yes. Cass turned down ONE opportunity in a kingdom where she wouldn’t know anyone, but does that immediately negate the disappointment of constantly putting in her all afterwards, only to be expected to be fine with being overshadowed by someone she’s meant to be subservient to…..the exact person who was mentioned above AND an ex-criminal?

I've wanted this to be covered so much. Also Eugene needs to be checked... as well as anyone else Rapunzel's hit with that pan. That shit is cast iron and she hits hard. Also why do people always assume Rapunzel needs to be protected? Challenge of the Brave shows she's actually very skilled in martial arts and combat. Also fun fact: Queen Ariana is voiced by the same actress who played Claire Dunphy in Modern Family and Varian's voiced by Jeremy Jordan, who voiced Winn Schott in Supergirl.

If it wasn’t for Tangled the Series,( I am not calling it Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure because THIS was the Original Title for the show before Disney changed it.), we wouldn’t have Tiana’s Upcoming Spinoff Series or Moana’s Upcoming Sequel. Now here’s where Disney basically gave me the middle finger during the pandemic. Back in 2020, I discovered through one of my Disney Content Creators that Varian,(Season 1’s former antagonist and Season 3’s redeemable good guy AKA the Adorable Cinnamon Roll who I love very much!), was supposed to have his own show which would take place a few years AFTER the series finale of Tangled the Series. There was going to be exploration to other kingdoms, a new band of characters and villains, along with the main focus being the disappearance of Varian’s Mother and his quest to find her. There were characters designs of Varian as well as the new cast of characters as well as a villain but Disney being Disney SCRAPPED the whole series down the drain and the reason is so STUPID. The reason why the show was pushed under the rug was because Rapunzel wouldn’t be the main character………Disney lost an opportunity because they were thinking about their branding!

For over an hour I've been trying to untangle my thread for cross stiching and only now have I realized that I've been doing so whilst watching an HOUR AND 15 LONG EPISODE OF TANGLED LORE. Edit.: You kept me entertained ehough to to that. The whole video was great. You put work into it, keep it up Athena

Also a big plothole I have to question how Adira touching her while performing the Decay Incantation didn't burn her and touching Rapunzel only burned Cassandra but it only melted Varian's gloves.

That sponsorship transition was so smooth I thought you were making a joke and actually telling Rapunzel to get a lawyer LOL!!!!

MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN YOU HAD SAID THE JOKE ABOUT VARIAN’S MARKER MUSTACHE! I LITERALLY DIED OF LAUGHTER AT THAT PART

Ngl my favourite part is the dedication to changing wigs depending on repunzel’s hair, that was just fucking awesome

The transition into the sponsor was so smooth that I feel like a pet that’s been bamboozled into taking a pill. Well played, and have a wonderful day! XD

just like this show, Athena is magical, musical, hits hard, and gets crazier as it goes on

I see someone talk about Tangled The Series, I click. Simple as that.

The transition to the ad was genuinely so smooth that I thought it was just a skit at first.

You know, I always laugh when people are like, "Oh, it's so unfortunate that the creators named the kingdom Corona." Because I live very close to a place called Corona. In fact, my dad owns a store in Corona. So for me, I like to say that I'm obviously the lost princess (because I also have really long hair). Edit: Also, Athena, you look good with short hair.

This is possibly my favorite Athena P. Episode because of how much we get to hear Athena sing!

There's actually a book called "what once was mine" (official Disney book, it's part of a series which is basically alternate universe versions of princess stories) and the premise is what if the queen drank a moon flower, and it like gave Rapunzel silver hair and I think just touching her kills people? I never finished it unfortunately, but it definitely was a bit darker, maybe like pg 13 instead of pg like the usual Disney stuff

My favorite part of the video was the entire video. I love Athena's commentary and goofs so much. Also the dedication with the wigs was so above and beyond.

As a pan I love the flag showing up 3:46

Thank you Athena for giving me more content to consume for my hyperfixations. Fun fact: I had a tangled themed birthday party because I was so obsessed with the series 🦕

1:12:50 Immediately after seeing the characters' designs from Varian and the Seven Kingdoms, I saw Hugo and went "yup, that's his boyfriend. They got matching clothes"

This was my favorite thing you have ever made. You have no idea how much I love Rapunzel. I have 3 feet of hair, I have cause played her. She is my favorite princess. My car is green and has flowers all over the ceiling that looks like her hair flowers. I have little floating lights painted on a jacket and I'm gonna paint them on my car. This was amazing. Thank you so much for making it!! You've caused me to send paragraphs and paragraphs about the whole poly situation to my friends, they hate me now but it was worth it (jk). This was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life thank you so much!!

The way I audibly screamed when I saw this video. Oh my gosh

This really has got to be one of the most straightforward and insane lore vids I've seen.

If you’re looking for a new series I would recommend Sheriff Callie. It’s a Disney jr show about a sheriff calico cat in the Wild West with a magic lasso.

I honestly love how you swap out wigs every time Rapunzel's hair changes

This show made me cry so bad! I just love Varian so freaking much in the music is just incredible

I saw this video and immediately clicked on it I’ve recently been obsessed with tangled the series and have waiting for a lore video cus nobody ever talks about the show

My favorite part was when she grew her hair and then cut her hair repeatedly. I mean lets talk about that dedication though.

😭im so happy that my favorite princess and her series are getting the recognition they deserve 😭😭😭
