First respect, next we go to a new level. It’s refreshing, tantalizing, and touches a long-hidden part of Flynn Rider. She is merely being herself and is entirely guileless. The sweetest thing is that Rapunzel does all of this without the intention of winning someone’s approval or respect. He is impressed, there is more to her than he at first thought. …yeah, Flynn looks at Rapunzel with new eyes. She takes a roomful of gross and scary (and anatomically incorrect) men and turns them all into mush by seeing beneath the surface and touching their hearts.įollow that up with an epic escape from multiple foes that succeeds when it shouldn’t… Humanity, apart from Jesus, is inheritently sinful, broken, and definitely selfish!įlynn’s plan to frighten Rapunzel at The Snuggly Duckling ends up placing them in a situation of danger where Rapunzel’s indomitable spirit and open heart earns Flynn’s respect. Let’s be honest, people, we’ve all been Flynn Rider before (maybe even like 2 minutes ago). His own selfish needs and desires trump whatever reaction she just created in him. ![]() He has a normal human reaction to her appearance and then he starts trying to pull one over on her. Such is the case for Flynn and Rapunzel.įlynn Rider has eyeballs, anyone with eyeballs can see how beautiful Rapunzel is. Many couples discover each other over time, building one step upon another. I just think it’s a good idea to present more than one way for a couple to fall for each other. Can I just say how much I love the fact that Flynn and Rapunzel broke the “love at first sight” Disney couple trope? When Flynn arrives at Rapunzel’s castle, he has an initial moment of awe over her beauty, but it passes like a cloud over the sun and then he’s back to scheming again. He double-crosses his own partners-in-crime in order to keep the crown for himself. We’re really messy, and sometimes kind of ugly. There are things about ourselves we would like to change and things in others we find hard to overlook. ![]() We have imperfections, we have broken places, we have pockets of selfishness or places of retained anger. #edmundpevensie #captainhook (Apparently I go for dark good looks as well? Hmm…)īut it is wise to admit to ourselves that everyone is human, male or female. ![]() I have only fallen for the “bad boy” twice in my life and those two bad boys ended up becoming the best of the good boys. You are talking to a girl who loves the good guys. Flynn Rider started out as a self-seeking jerk. Still, Flynn Rider, or shall we say Eugene Fitzherbert took it to the next level. Not only was he also an adorably mischevious thief, but rather than just a pretty face with a castle we were given a more 3-dimensional character who had his own backstory, own dreams, and own failures. The character that came closest to Flynn Rider before he hit the screen was most definitely Aladdin. The smolder? It certainly did not damage his cause.Īs much as we love his charming exterior, what really sold us all on Flynn Rider was the way he changed the “face” and expectations for the classic “Disney Prince”. Was it his gorgeous face that caught our attention? Uh, well, yeah, that certainly helped. Much of this is due to the charming and roguish Flynn Rider, adorable crown thief- turned into the adventure partner and harmonizing prince we ladies dream about. ![]() The 2010 Rapunzel story Tangled was an instant classic and remains in a place of high honor.
