>>5451912Yep, there's also a middleground story in this context; a mercurial/loki/kek-related version.
>Princess and the frog>Utterly unappealing creature earns a single chance with a princess by diving into a world of danger and retrieving something profound/holy/essential that was lost/forgotten, and brings it back, restoring order from the grip of chaos.>She kisses him revealing a prince This one is more male-oriented though, and similar stories not specifically related to sexual relationships can be seen in Marvel's Loki turning 'good' after realizing his potential lies far above simple dickery and trickery, and is better suited in service of positive aims and his people.
And Shrek, believe it or not (which is why in the 2nd movie it's revealed that Fiona's parents were themselves the princess and the frog - their relationship is a flip-side parallel): She brings a hero out of a lazy contented swamp monster, and he brings a realistic human being out of a haughty uptight princess-type.
