I was suprised at first when they announced she would be black, but ultimately I don't think her race or hair colour makes the slightest difference to the character, the only key element of her character from the story is that her hair is very very very long. I had, as a child, a book of fairytales showing rapunzel as a red head with thick curly hair  in a green dress and the rhyme was the same it just left the golden stair line out, in fact the only important and most well known line is rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair. Iwas an old book too so was not a modern re-telling. Also just a thought, Metz's Rapunzel's hair could actually glow golden when someone climbs it, or is being used in a magic way, sort of like in Tangled when her hair glows gold, that could be how they reference the film.

I can't wait to see what they mean with the Grudge reference, maybe her hair has a sort of life of its own and attacks people? Anyway I think she looks great, I love the pretty simplicity of her costume. I know they said they weren't doing Tangled, but it would be cool if the name of the kingdom Rapunzel lives in is called Corona
