This is all pretty tongue-in-cheek, I assume? I had to laugh when I came to the possibility of zoonotic infections for Belle from the various animal parts of the Beast. (Especially since one of the named diseases, brucellosis, is transmitted through "close contact with [the infected animal's] secretions", according to Wikipedia. What are they trying to say here...? cough)
My favorite was the Pocahontas one. Just the right amount of nitpicking and science for me, while making fun of how cinema adds an unrealistic amount of falling time. One that annoyed me was the...
My favorite was the Pocahontas one. Just the right amount of nitpicking and science for me, while making fun of how cinema adds an unrealistic amount of falling time.
One that annoyed me was the Rapunzel one, because I've seen this complaint before elsewhere. There's obviously a hook, and she pulls people up on her hair by grabbing it with her hands, not pulling with her scalp.
I think you're right about pulling people up the tower using a hook, but that hair is clearly prehensile. Maybe it's just because I've been reading the Southern Reach trilogy, but my read on the...
I think you're right about pulling people up the tower using a hook, but that hair is clearly prehensile. Maybe it's just because I've been reading the Southern Reach trilogy, but my read on the story is that the magical plant is actually an alien species that symbiotically inhabits Rapunzel's body (a la Venom).
I'll note that since Venom is Marvel, Disney controls both the Venom and Rapunzel IP. Now that they've done Deadpool and Wolverine, I think the stage is set for a Venom vs Rapunzel crossover.
Technically, Sony still controls the movie rights for the Spider-Man IP. They partnered with Disney to put him in the MCU, but Sony is the one producing all the other Spidey-related stuff, like...
Technically, Sony still controls the movie rights for the Spider-Man IP. They partnered with Disney to put him in the MCU, but Sony is the one producing all the other Spidey-related stuff, like the Spider-Verse movies and the ones starring villains like Venom.
The movie rights to various Marvel IPs got fragmented before the MCU started. (I think that's probably why they started with Iron Man, which was a hell of a gamble at the time.) Until Disney acquired Fox, for instance, they didn't have any of the movie rights to the X-Men or Fantastic Four, either. Nowadays I'm not sure if there are any besides Spider-Man that are outside the Disney rights, though.
But all of that is ignoring your extremely intriguing premise. I always just assumed that since Rapunzel's hair was magic, any strength/toughness that was required was also provided magically (because let's face it, there would be lots of accidental scalp-pulling no matter how she tried to mitigate it). A symbiote never even occurred to me and it tickles my fancy something fierce. I would be so down for a Venom/Rapunzel faceoff, or also reluctant buddy cop scenario, too.
In the second paragraph they state that the princesses all live happily ever after, but also suggest that Disney needs to come up with interventions. Why? It seems there is no harm…in fact, they...
In the second paragraph they state that the princesses all live happily ever after, but also suggest that Disney needs to come up with interventions. Why? It seems there is no harm…in fact, they not only LIVE, they are HAPPY forever after. I’m not sure it’s Disney’s responsibility to provide anything more for them?

I also thought it was pretty funny
