She's just not as heroic as the others because they do so much more. Ariel saves Eric twices, saves Flounder from getting eaten by a shark, saved Sebasian from getting eaten by Grimsby. and killed Ursula's minions. Pocahontas saves John Smith and stops the war. Mulan saves Shang, her horse, her father, the soldiers, and all of China.

i think Rapunzel was heroic for sacrificing herself for Flynn

How is Ariel loosing? She is WAY more heroic than Rapunzel.

WHY IS SHE STILL HERE?!

Punzel is way heroic, she saved Flynn's butt in the Snuggly Duckling, and was willing to sarcifice herself for Flynn!
Ariel, well she's heroic, but really, saving a dude from drowning when you're a mermaid IS NOT REALLY THAT HEROIC!

And letting a crab crawl under your platter isn't heroic, it's common sense.

I think Ariel is much more heroic and if she had chance, she would save more people

@SnowSpirit: How is it not?! She saved a man's life! She prevented him from dying despite the consequences. That's pretty damn heroic to me. She was being selfess and willing to take that risk for Eric. Sure, she loved him, yes, but she had nothing to gain when she did save him.

I bet Rapunzel only saved him because he was the only way she could see the lanterns. I mean, seriously, if Flynn died, Rapunzel would've been stuck and would then have no one to guide her. She was saving him partly for her own gain.

She is also somewhat a damsel in distress. She needed a man to save her and was totally helpless. Ariel, on the other hand, despite being in a really shitty situation kept fighting the WHOLE time and even participated with defeating the villain. How is that NOT heroic?! Rapunzel just sat there!

Ariel >>>>>>>> Punz

This was tough! It was between Rapunzel and Ariel. They both are, but I think Rapuzel is slighty more heroic by the bargain she was willing to make with Mother Gothel...promising to spend the rest of her life with her and promising not to run away if she let her save Flynn; she loved him so much she was willing to give up all her freedom just so he could live. Ariel saved Eric too, but she didn't have to sacrifice her freedom in order for him to live; she did sacrifice her life to have a shot at love with him though which was taking a big chance, but to me that action wasn't heroic.

totally agree with @ppgbelle4.

This was really tough between Rapunz and Ariel. I think Ariel is less heroic only because Rapunz had more action scenes than Ariel. I guess.

I agree with ppgbell as well

@pgbelle: Yes, but what about Rapunzel sacrificing herself for Flynn's life?
