It would have been bloody depressing. I mean they couldn’t possibly kill a funny character like Eugene if it was Rapunzel it would have been very tragic because she wouldn’t be able to come back from the dead as Eugene doesn’t have any healing powers unless he got the healing flower.
. The first movie that popped into my head when I saw the death scene was Beauty & the Beast I was like OMG here comes the tears. It was so sad and that guitar in the background made it worse.
As you see Rapunzel getting all emotional when she sees your man apparently dead. T:T.Still though I loved the movie but it was very depressing when he died I was like what the heck is going on is he going to die and it would say THE END but thank god I loved it.
