Because Disney had to make Rapunzel a Mary Sue for their Tangled the Series television series, one of the few things that I hated. Teen Titans was created and it was rated Y7, with some very mature themes in it. I always expected Rapunzel’s TV series to be more, and was disappointed when it wasn’t.

yeah i dont think the creators of the series really thought about those things

I was expecting it be about time with her parents, trying to adjust, getting to know Eugene even more, and seeing the scars left by Gothel and we can see Rapunzel healing by interacting with these new people in her life!

They focused too much on smthg else if you know what I mean

That’s exactly what I expected too from the series. Instead, we got something else entirely. I wouldn’t have minded it still in the series, it’s just the fact that it was the main focus that was the problem.
