#TANGLED DESTINIES MOVIE#

For me, the biggest benefit of this was the music. I didn't think Destinies Collide was quite as blatantly edgy as Rapunzel and the Great Tree, but with all of the contrast to the brightness and sunshine of Corona, it definitely followed the same overarching themes as the rest of the season.

This season has been much edgier than the first one with its bleak locales and cursed incantations. Just as Rapunzel's father tried to protect her in the first season by making the wrong decisions for the right reasons, so did the Dark King for his own son. It turns out that the Dark Kingdom has a lost prince, and it's someone a lot more familiar to you than you might expect. We all know that Corona had a lost princess who was discovered to be our favorite magical heroine by the end of the film. Just as Corona is a bright and bustling kingdom filled with colorful citizens and festivals, the Dark Kingdom is an abandoned realm without nothing to offer but bleak loneliness.

The Rapunzel and the Great Tree special gave us a reverse incantation of the healing one from the movie for Rapunzel's magical hair, but Destinies Collide mirrored the opening voiceover monologue of the film, taking all of the dialogue of the Sun Drop and its effects on Corona and applying it to the Moonstone and the Dark Kingdom, which is Corona's opposite in every way. To start, I really have to hand it to the writers of this show for incorporating so many homages to the original 2010 feature.
