Wandavision Tangled Meme: ‘Wait a Damn Minute’ Claim Wandavision included a clever visual callback to the animated film Tangled , in the form of an Easter egg. Rating Not True Like this fact check? Reporting In March 2021, the Facebook page Marvellous Realm shared the following image, which purportedly shows an Easter egg involving the live-action 2021 Disney+ show WandaVision , contrasted with what appeared to be a still from the 2021 film Tangled : The WandaVision Tangled Meme In what looked like a cropped tweet, four images (described clockwise) included: A still of a dark-haired woman from Tangled (the character Mother Gothel); A photograph of Kathryn Hahn, the actress playing Agnes in Wandavision ; A purported still from Tangled , depicting Mother Gothel (in a purple sweater with a brooch) and Rapunzel (wearing a distinctive dark red hoodie, a gray top, and with strawberry blonde hair), and; A still of Wandavision , depicting Hahn as Agnes (also wearing a red sweater with a brooch) and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff (wearing a the same hoodie with a gray t-shirt underneath). Text at the top of the four-square image read wait a damn minute. It implied that the creators of Wandavision intentionally dressed Agnes and Wanda as Mother Gothel and Rapunzel, respectively. The meme was not the first Tangled -related social media discussion we have come across; in 2020, a meme maintained that Rapunzel’s character in Tangled was quarantined on an island with a coincidentally prescient name. That particular claim was out of context: Rapunzel Was Quarantined in ‘Tangled,’ Google the Name of Her Kingdom? Variations, Iterations, and Deletions Although we were unable to locate a primary iteration, variations on the meme appeared on Instagram and Pinterest , too. An April 2021 Instagram post attributed a version of the Wandavision / Tangled meme to Reddit: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marvel True Facts (@marveltruefacts) That Reddit post (to r/WANDAVISION) attributed the meme to the page The Marvel Hub on Facebook, but the submitter apparently deleted their post on Reddit. We located a March 7 2021 post by The Marvel Hub of solely the third image, shared over 10,000 times. Finally, the third image in the set was uploaded to KnowYourMeme.com in March 2021 (titled Crossover – Wanda Vision: Tangled), but the post itself lacked any context or source: Faint text on the image itself in the lower right-hand corner included a signature, as well as the text @danielkordek and a DeviantArt URL. A tweet by an account with a nearly identical handle from March 4 2021 included the third image of an animated Wanda and Agnes, alongside a still of Rapunzel and Mother Gothel in Tangled . That tweet also labeled the image as based on Tangled. In the original Tangled still, both characters’ outfits were different from the WandaVision version, and Rapunzel’s hair was blonde: 💜 Agatha Harkness & Wanda Maximoff ❤️ based on Mother Gothel $ Rapunzel from Tangled #wandavision #wandamaximoff #scarletwitch #elizabetholsen #Rapunzel #Punzie #MotherGother #Tangled #DisneyPrincess #marvel #avengers #mcu #marvelstudios #disneyplus #marvelcomics #tv #cartoon pic.twitter.com/wmcYsmSoOf Florida is where wokes go to die...

The artwork appeared to have quickly been removed from its context as fan art, and circulated without the context that it showed Wanda and Agnes as Mother Gothel and Rapunzel intentionally. Summary On March 4 2021, a DeviantArt account uploaded the first version of the WandaVision/Tangled meme, and did not present it as reflective of stills in either WandaVision or Tangled ; the creator labeled it as based on the older film. At some point, someone spliced the artwork together with stills from the show and the film and an image of Hahn, creating the inaccurate impression that Rapunzel appeared in a hoodie in Tangled . However, the creator’s intent was clearly artistic and the image was not intended to be used in the format to which it later evolved. For that reason, we have rated the meme Not True .
