** So far, the season is following a theme on staying in a certain location for a few episodes, essentially slowing down the main plot. There are those who don't mind it due to seeing it as an opportunity to expand on the world while simultaneously building up the plot, or those who find it a boring distraction due to essentially acting like it doesn't matter.

* The humor is also up for debate, namely in how some episodes ("Way of the Willow" for example) seem a bit more concerned with trying to squeeze in a lot of jokes, or have jokes that undermine the episode (like episode 5). Again, this is all about preference.

* Cassandra was always a BaseBreakingCharacter, but her arc in the third and final Season took her divisive nature to new heights. [[spoiler:Proponents argue that she is a complex and relatable TragicVillain due to her being driven by the AwfulTruth of Mother Gothel being her biological mother and abandoning her in favor of Rapunzel (someone she’s always felt overshadowed by), her longing for the recognition she’s felt deprived of her whole life, and Zhan Tiri serving as a ToxicFriendInfluence while using her as an UnwittingPawn. Detractors view her grief over being abandoned by Gothel (and grudge against Rapunzel over it) as {{Wangst}} due to how it was followed by her receiving an adoptive father who genuinely loved her (that being the Captain of The Guard) while Rapunzel was abused and imprisoned by Gothel, and argue that her already receiving recognition at several points (such as from her friends, her father, Corona, and Vardaros) prior to her FaceHeelTurn, her choosing to follow Zhan Tiri’s immoral advice, and the harm she causes throughout Season 3 (from endangering the lives of Rapunzel and her friends to nearly destroying Corona) make her petty and selfish. There’s also the topic of her redemption in the GrandFinale: some were happy with it due to the remorse she shows and her part in defeating Zhan Tiri (which temporarily came at the cost of her own life), while others criticized how she only performs a HeelFaceTurn after Zhan Tiri steals the Moonstone from her and believe she fails to properly make up for her misdeeds.]]

* Half of the fanbase adores the more adventure based story-lines in the latter half of the first season and consider it to be the definite GrowingTheBeard moment of the series, but the other half wishes that it would have stayed a SliceOfLife cartoon and that the shift to a darker tone, while a good idea in theory, was handled clumsily, citing DarknessInducedAudienceApathy as a reason why. There are also those who think it's trying too hard to be like ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', another Disney show about a blond haired princess that's also been accused of handling CerebusSyndrome poorly.

Made a mistake in writing this. The correct phrase I meant to use is "Came ON the heels of", not off. My bad.


* Tying into the above, [[spoiler:Cassandra being allowed to leave Corona and find her destiny in spite of the crimes she committed when all is said and done. Some were happy with her send-off, as it came off the heels of her reconciling with Rapunzel, performing a HeelFaceTurn, and helping Rapunzel defeat Zhan Tiri, on top of finding it to be a heartwarming conclusion to her character arc. Others were angered by how EasilyForgiven she was, and believe the lack of any real punishment she receives for her actions, such as imprisonment, makes her a KarmaHoudini (especially when compared to Varian, who spent months in the dungeon after his own stint of villainy). [[TakeAThirdOption A third party]] argues that, even if Cassandra shouldn’t be imprisoned, she should’ve at least helped repair the damage she did to Corona before leaving.]]

Yep, the original entries begged to be rewritten, and they are so much better now! The Unintentionally Unsympathetic link needs to go: per the clean-up thread, UU requires a large consensus in the audience, so a Base Breaking Character doesn't qualify because fans are too divided on whether the character is sympathetic or not.
