It's not so much a critique as an observation. Eugene uses "babe" a lot when addressing Rapunzel and I think you're sort of limiting yourself with that. I mean, while I never think he'd call her "sweetheart" or "darling" in public, I do think that he'd resort to his old names for her like "blondie" or branch out with possible names like "princess" or even more outright "gorgeous." I just sort of noticed you tend to stick to that one name and Flynn would call Rapunzel all sorts of names after just three days with her.
I also noticed that, while I think Flynn would be generally nicer, you perhaps play him a little... too nice? I understand how and why you play him like that around women and children, that's not new. However, he's still prone to his antics of teasing or snarky witty comments even when he see him with Rapunzel at the end of the movie. He teases her by "stealing" the crown off her very head, he still makes commentary about everyone, and I don't really see that from your Eugene, all I see is him being nice about 90% of the time. He just feels really limited at the moment and I don't know why you would limit him or yourself like that when you could have a lot of fun with it.
