We met ThorOpens in a new tab as a Prince of Asgard. And if it still existed in the MCU at this point, he’d be king. But perhaps there’s another royal title that Thor can still achieve, at least per the rules of Earth, pop culture, and the animated-rodent-worshipping corporate overlordsOpens in a new tab who own MarvelOpens in a new tab. After the recent trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2Opens in a new tab spelled out the rules of being a Disney princessOpens in a new tab, one Twitter user pointed out that Thor meets every single requirement… which is more than most other Disney princesses can say.

Okay, so the meme leaves out the rule about a big strong man hijacking your story, but it’s fair to say the HulkOpens in a new tab could fit that role. Or if you ask Taika Waititi, he’d almost certainly say that Korg did. Thor: Ragnarok was largely sold to comics fans on the premise that it was a stealth Planet Hulk movie, and to casual viewers as a “Who would win?” Hulk versus Thor smackdown. But wait! Does this mean Thor and Hulk should end up getting married? It would certainly help to dodge all the issues Bruce Banner has had over the last few movies about being with human lovers.
Should Thor join the ranks of Disney Princesses, or is he just another strong man trying to steal their thunder, when he literally has a near-infinite amount of his own? Let us know in comments!
