Alright, so ever since I saw Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre way back when, my mind has kind of been in a tizzy over a lot of things. Mostly, my Amore for detto movie, Flynn Rider, and my desperate want to play Mother Gothel in any alternate productions of the movie.
But also: can frying pans really work the way they do in the movie?
I'm not one to usually harp upon factual things in movies, especially animated ones, but I figured it would be a ton of fun to figure out the mathematical (scientific? I'm not sure how to classify it, really) logical-ness behind fighting bad guys with cucina appliances.
Now, if the average frying pan is, say, according to Wikipedia, 8-to-12-inches in diameter, and are made of cast iron. Using fancy mathematical stuffs and things, we can wager to guess that these pans are decently heavy. Turning to online stores, I looked at different pans, of the following weights:
4 lbs (Williams-Sonoma, 12 inches)
3.5 lbs (Amazon, 8 inches)
There weren't that many pans with weights listed, unfortunately, but I can wager to guess all average frying pans are around the 4 lbs. mark.
So that's 4 pounds of condensed force flying at someone - is it enough to knock them out? To Google we go!
An articolo from LiveScience states this: "A cubic inch of bone can in principle orso a load of 19,000 lbs. (8,626 kg) o più — roughly the weight of five standard pickup trucks — making it about four times as strong as concrete." So, us humans are pretty resilient - but what about the big ol' KO?
Another quote from LiveScience gives us something close to the answer. "A blow that gives the head enough spin to go from 0 to 43,000 rpm in just one secondo has a 25 percent chance of knocking a person unconscious."
LiveScience is talking about punching, so we have to account for the fact that te can do a lot più damage with a cast iron skillet versus a fist - the logical part of my brain says with that pan smacking someone, te probably have closer to a 50% chance of knocking someone unconscious.
So could Flynn and Rapunzel plausibly hit guards with that trusty pan and watch them fall like dominoes? No. Are they complete goners? Also no.
And there te have it, the math/science/word jumble behind the frying pan battles in Tangled!
Au revior!

I've been wanting to write this for a while, but I've been skeptical because there aren't so many songs da them that Suits the Disney Princesses so keep in mind when Leggere this that the songs are very unfitting in most cases, but I hope you'll like this articolo anyway
Snow White: link
This song actually Suits Snow White quite well especially the refrain and most especially this part "Eleonore, the fairiest of them all, so young and vurnerable"
Cinderella: link
This song is very dreamy and one lyric goes "What do te dream?", that lyric totally Suits Cinderella. Besides that very unfitting,...

"Well well, isn't it a coincidence that 2 princesses and 2 princes from 2 different eras meet each other. I'm not surprise at all!" detto Maleficent coolly.
"Who are you?" asks Cinderella, frightened and trying to keep her voice as calmly as ever. "I'm Maleficent, the Mistress of all Evil." replied Maleficent with pride, Aurora suspects that this isn't the Maleficent that she always knew, as she can tell from the glow onto her eyes. This is an evil Maleficent!
Aurora immediately yelled "You are not Maleficent! You're the evil Maleficent!" At this point, Maleficent declares "It's true! I'm not your Maleficent anymore and I was the one who magically transported te here!" She cracks into her evil laughter and vanishes.
At this point, Aurora bursts into tears and Cinderella, Prince Philip and Kit came to comfort her. Saying that the evil fairy will be perished.

Well, it's about time I made part 2 of this article. Anyways, please keep in mind that this is my opinion, and we may disagree, so respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.
Enjoy the article!
Healing Incarnation
Even though it's quite short and basically sounds different every time Rapunzel sings it, I still included it, because there's ONLY 2 other songs, and one of them is a reprise! (I also included one other song too, we'll get to it later.) Anyways, I really like this song. It shows a nice soft side to Rapunzel's voice, which I like. Its a really sweet and charming song overall, but...
