Hi everyone! I found this Mary Sue test someone was doing for Percy Jackson characters and really liked it. I decided it'd be fun to put Disney princesses through it, since a lot of them are accused of being Sues (though I modified the test a little, adding and removing some traits). This test is great because it isn't unnecessarily long-winded and you don't need to be the creator of the character to put them through it (though some of the traits do get repetitive). I had to remove some like "Naturally beautiful" and "Great singing voice" since that's pretty much a given for all the princesses.

I decided to start with Rapunzel, since she's one of the most accused princesses. I'll rank each of the traits and give her a score at the end. Enjoy!



Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- No. Blonde hair and green eyes are common and while her hair is unnaturally long, the flower works to explain it (especially since her hair is naturally brown). (I guess I'll have to substitute for the "contacts or hair dye part", since none of the princesses have them)
An odd name- Yes. 'Rapunzel' is as odd as it gets. 1.
Looks constantly commented on- No. I can't remember Rapunzel's looks being commented on much.
Always the hero- Kind of. She did win over the thugs, save herself and Flynn, and even bring him back to life after he unsuccessfully tried to rescue her. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- Not really. Only Flynn really did.
Gets into the relationships she wants- (I'll have to be generous with this, since it's a trait all of them share with their love interests) Not really. She didn't really want a relationship with Flynn as much she wanted to achieve her dream.
No flaws or any flaws addressed or called out on- Yes. Gothel certainly criticizes her flaws, but only because she's an abusive parent and the villain. The only time her naivete gets her into trouble is when it's just Gothel tricking her again. This is one of the biggest traits, so 2 points. 2.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- Definitely. Everyone loves her and sees her as angelic. Also worth 2 points. 2.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- Yes. The thugs and townspeople immediately loved her without knowing she was the lost princess. So did Flynn, though she at least earned that. Another major trait that's worth 2 points. 2.
Love and trust from closed-off characters- Yes. Both the thugs and Flynn. 1.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Not as far as I can remember.
A rival to make her look good- No. I can't remember any rival she had, unless Gothel counts (which I don't think it does)
Never fails- Yes. She succeeded in leaving her tower, saving herself and Flynn from drowning, achieving her dream, and even bringing Flynn back to life. 1.
Never injured- Yes. I can't remember a time Rapunzel was injured, unlike Flynn, though it could be justified due to her healing hair. 1.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Not really. She earned her happy ending and most of the praise she received.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- No. She had her entire life to practice her skills, and her powers aren't that unreasonable (except for when she brings Flynn back to life).
Always figures things out- Kind of. She figured out how to save herself and Flynn, how to fit in with the outside world despite never having left before, and even that she was the lost princess and that Gothel was lying to her for no explained reason. 1.
Kind but deadly- That's most of Rapunzel's personality. 1.
Tragic backstory- Yes, even if she doesn't see it as such. Kidnapped as a baby, used and abused by her caretaker, kept isolated and not allowed any contact with the outside world. 1.
Skilled in a wide variety of things- Yes, even if it's justified due to the time she spends alone. Just listen to the first song. 1.
Contradictory traits- No, Rapunzel's personality traits were pretty consistent, except for her conflicting emotions about leaving the tower, which are played for laughs and realistic.
Always gets what she wants- Yes, actually. She was forbidden from leaving her tower but left anyway, got to achieve her dream, escape her oppressive "mother" and confined life, and reunite with her parents. 1.
Rarely shows negative emotions- Yes. She does show insecurity, indecision, and anger towards Gothel, but most of the time she's just cheerful and happy. 1.
A resurrection- No, though she does have the ability to resurrect others.

That's 17 out of 24. I'd say that's a mild Sue. It's hard trying to fill these because few characters fit too many of the traits. I added two of my own traits (the two last ones before "A resurrection"), since I was struggling to have as many as in the original test.

If you think I answered any of these wrong, tell me. This is just too fun and I'm not too confident with my skill. Tell me how accurate you think this was, and who I should do next.

What I love the most about Mulan is she's someone who was trained for battle but instead of depending on weapons to win the war, she uses strategy. It shows that you don't always have to rely on brute strength or weapons to win, you can use your own brain. It really bums me out that people forget that about Mulan and just remember her for learning how to fight. -BB2010

I love her bravery, perseverance and how she's willing to disguise as a man and go off to war to save her father. -LMH5113

I love Mulan's love for her family. She loved her family so much that she would risk her own life to save...

Before we say goodbye to not just this year but also this decade, it's time I write an article that I wanted to write for a long time.
As a lot of you know, and for those who don't, Frozen is a movie/franchise that means a lot to me. Without it, I wouldn't even be on this site. It all started back in October of 2014,when I started to form a crush on the fictional character of Elsa. Originally, it was because I thought she was incredibly gorgeous, and I still think so, to this day. But, as the days went by and did more of my research, I realized how similar Elsa was to me and I began to relate...

Wow, ok. It's been five years (oh lordy) since I last wrote one of these, and with a new princess officially in the lineup I think it's high time I revisited my list. Let's do this.

12. Rapunzel

Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh Rapunzellllllllllllllllllll I really wish I liked her more than I do. The funny thing is that I actually think she's a great character and she's also one of my most relatable DPs, but despite this she just doesn't do it for me. There are two primary reasons for this. Firstly, she is not a particularly believable character for me. Seriously, no one would be that socially well-rounded after...

Today's rewatch: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
Last time watched: 2008

How much did I like this movie as a kid?

I didn't. Like, at all. In fact, after we see how Ariel's mom died that was it for me. Okay, so let me start from the beginning; If you've read my articles about TLM and TLM 2, you know that TLM is one of my most favorite movies and was a huge part of my childhood so when I was 15 years old I found out that there was going to be another movie of course I was excited!...

Something I've often said in the past is one of the scariest type of villain is one that could exist in real life like Frollo, Bellweather, Lady Tremaine, and Mother Gothel. Gaston is definitely a villain that deserves to be on this list.

Some people will say he's too silly to be a scary villain or just isn't scary enough until the climax of the movie. But some people who have had to deal with their own Gastons in life will say differently.

First off, it's made pretty clear from the beginning that Gaston is a bully who has most likely never been told "no" and therefore can never take it for...

Unlike SB vs M, this one had some mixed results for some of the questions.

O = Original
R = Remake
O and R = Original and Remake

Favorite Cinderella
O 7
R 2

Ella and Cinderella were both equally good characters, they were both kind, both tried to make the best out of a bad situation, and both had courage. There are mixed feelings for Ella though; she was constantly smiling even when being insulted, she was given a poor reason to stay in her home, her character used the "always be kind" in a way that made her a doormat for her stepfamily even when her father was alive, and while the original Cinderella...

Hi guys, remember that I wrote about the Westlife a few months ago. So now, it's their American counterpart N*Sync's turn as to what songs the princesses would love to listen and serenade it with their respective princes!

1. Someday, Somewhere

The 3 princesses will dance and sing with their princes, hoping that they will meet each other one day!

2. Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)

Since the accident, Eric could not stop thinking of Ariel. So, it could serve as a duet for the couple.

3. Music Of My Heart/ It's Gonna Be Me

Considering that Belle is involve in a love triangle, Gaston and the...

The Original 5.
Since I had previously done for both the Backstreet Boys and Westlife. Here is another song list from another Irish boyband from the 90's, ready?

1) Every Day I Love You

Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora will sing this song to their respective princes, to express their love to each other.

2) Baby Can I Hold You

This song reminds me of Eric and Ariel's relationship, Ariel will sing it to him.

3) Love me for a Reason

From the Beast's point of view, he will sing this to Belle as the reason for the curse to be lifted.

4) Shooting Star

This song was featured at the ending credits of Disney's Hercules...

Note: Frozen is owned by Disney.

Anna and Elsa hadn't fought crime as Super Chocolate Lover and Super Icicles in a few months. There were lesser crimes going on so the 2 sisters took a break from fighting crime.

It was early in the morning. Anna danced into the living room and said "I have news."

Elsa asked "What's going on?"

Anna replied "It's been reported that some gold nearby has stolen."

Elsa stated "Well I'm sure the police will take care of it."

Anna said "Instead of just waiting for heroes to come save the gold we should be the heroes."

Elsa asked "You wanna fight crime in those Captain...

This sounds way funnier in Vietnamese, especially the Duke of Weselton.
