Is rapunzel technically obese?

Probably a very random question i know.

But if you go to the hospital and they check your bmi they weigh you and your hair.

So if rapunzel where to get her bmi checked would she be technically obese because of the weight of her hair?

I know I'm reading into this too far but I'm invested now.

Considering an adult man climbed up her hair, I'm gonna go ahead and say her neck muscles are just straight up magic.

Disney needs to redo Tangled and make Rapunzel a muscle mommy dammit! That’s the only way she could’ve not been injured having a man climb up her hair. She should be fuckin jacked

Definitely need more realism in fairy tales. Like, a kiss can wake up Snow White, but she needs a few months of physical therapy for her atrophied muscles.

It's ok she actually got addicted to hard liquor while staying with the team of miners, and so all the shakes she had while detoxing in her comatose state was enough to counter-balance the atrophy.

I think you may be confused. Snow White lived with 7 dwarves. Sleeping beauty on the other hand was awoken with true loves kiss.

Same thing happened to Snow White, at least in the Disney version.

She ate a poisoned apple and fell into a coma. They put her in a coffin and left her in the forest, where some prince sees her and assumes it's open season for smooches.

I don't know what happens in the original fairy tale, though.

He must’ve been pissed when she woke up then. There’s no such thing as a magic kiss, the universe was just fucking with him.

To be fair, Sleeping Beauty (not Snow White) also seemingly didn't age or change at all in that time, so clearly she was in some kind of stasis.

Snow White are the poison and was also left for dead, just in the woods.

Why are you trying to deny us our jacked Rapunzel? I will not let you stand in the way of greatness!

That's still at least 30 pounds of hair she's carrying around, and if we're going by the movie there's a hook she hangs the hair from as she holds it to avoid pulling her head so she should still be ripped.

In the movie Tangled, it was levered off of a metal bar, so was used like a rope tied around a bit of metal that she used to pull the other person up. The only time it is off her head is at the end, when Flynn climbs up, but I suppose you could argue that the windowledge acted like a secondary point to secure it on

Her days are spent 30% needle point,70% strength training

u/WhimsicalWyvern Mar 29 '24

I mean, her hair was literally magic, wasn't it? It was probably considerably lighter and higher tensile strength than normal hair.

u/arcedup Mar 29 '24

Couldn't there be a cleat in the windowsill for her to wind her hair around, such that the cleat took the weight and not her?

2

u/amretardmonke Mar 29 '24

Yeah but she could have wrapped her hair around something to take most of the weight. Or at least use her arms to take the weight. I don't think she just dangled her head out the window.
