Tangled concept art, by Glen Keane

Flynn from Tangled was going to be huge and Stabbington-sized, in comparison to Rapunzel, to make the relationship seem “accepting”, so Rapunzel would seem less shallow.

As if to teach a lesson that not ALL 16th century urchin thieves (half the populace) were rapists and murderers; general scary mean guys, despite their intimidating looks.

Then, to appeal more to the target audience of female teens and little girls, they made him Prince Charming with a personality, so you know he’s ‘good and pretty’, and there wouldn’t be a societal issue in pairing a 25+ year old ex-con with someone the size of a 14 year old.

The panel of women who decided what makes a man attractive had the ideal of a man who looks like this, with a constant Dreamworks face, thus the ‘handsome’ Flynn was born, and the lovable giant Bastion was scrapped.

Also: liking Bastion more is not at all an unpopular opinion! Its nearly unanimous that everyone thinks he’s way more adorable and/or would prefer him in the film. 

IM SO MAD AT THIS MOVIE I WILL NEVER STOP BEING MAD AT THIS MOVIE

IM SO MAD

It’s not that I disliked Flynn in the movie, but he wasn’t anything special. It’s a let down to see originality extinguished by a suave grin.  

And how could anyone say no to that hug up there? ^^^

I wouldn’t have minded a larger hero.

The character sketches actually kind of remind me of Kay the Squire from Disney’s Sword in the Stone.
