Which Disney Prince would you be or want in your life?

[whyisitso]

I use pictures of realistic looking Disney Princes, that are made by an Finnish artist Jirka Väätäinen. So who would you want to be and why? Or if you are a girl, who of these would you want in your life? Why?

Sadly the poll options allow only eight options, but if you can't find your favorite here, just feel free to comment him in the comments.

Later when I have room for another question I will post one about Disney Princesses.

Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)

Aladdin

Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)

Hercules

John Smith (Pocahontas)

Prince Adam - "The Beast" (Beauty and the Beast)

Prince Charming (Cinderella)

TO ALL THE HOMOPHOBIC GUYS OUT THERE: YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE ANYONE.

I made this question mostly because I thought guys might prefer to be one of these more than the other, maybe relate to them or want the princess that prince has. Not that you would want to date them or feel attracted to them, even if that too is completely fine.

Obviously that is too much for some guys here. Sorry that you get so overwhelmed with this question!

[FMJ_Guy]

Shrek, TOTALLY!! HE is REAL, he has integrity, he is honest, and trustworthy!! He has personality, depth, and reality!!
ALL the others are just looks, and BS, and the lies they say to get the 'Princess'!!
Shrek is the guy that is there for you, when your car breaks down; He is there when you are too DRUNK, and he gets you home, safe.
Shrek is the guy that can tell you that you are making bad choices, and when you realize, he is there to help you find yourself, your REAL self, when you finally realize all of the things are BS!!
"Hansom" or 'Pretty" is fine, but if there is nothing more than the superficial, the IMAGE, what happens when you both age, and he isn't so 'hansom' or she isn't 'pretty'?
Shrek likes the ones, like Donkey, for WHO they are!!! Having that relationship, that love and companionship survives beyond IMAGE nonsense, like Disney sells!!

[whyisitso]

Interesting choice and good explanation 👀

[Storm_Soldier2377]

Shrek isn't Disney though

[FMJ_Guy]

@Storm_Soldier2377 Imagine how much I care, posting that, here, bored!!! :) :) Not like a lot of intellectuals hang out here!!
Congrats to you, for noticing!!

[ScaryCool]

Do they have a realistic Flynn Rider? I think he'd probably look pretty cool in this style.
So far I'd choose Hercules (just cause I really liked Hercules growing up) or Aladdin or Prince Eric as they both look laid back and cool.

[whyisitso]

jirkavinse.com/img/disneyguys/flynnrider.jpg

Here he is

[ScaryCool]

Yeah I went and looked him up afterwards actually haha
I sent an email to the artist to suggest he do the main character Jim from Treasure Planet next. I don't know if they will, but thought it'd be neat.

[whyisitso]

Oh, that's nice! I don't know if he gets many questions like that, if so then he might not have the time. But hope he will!

[Anonymous]

Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid) has a fetish for fish.
Aladdin is a criminal
Hercules has a tiny penis and murdered his wife and kids.
John Smith married a 12 year old girl.
Prince Adam kidknapped Belle for his sexual pleasure until she developed Stockholm syndrome.
Prince Charming is a dick with a foot fetish because he has to put a shoe on Cinderella before he recognises her.

[loveisbeautiful]

What is wrong with the people on here, they are Disney movies meant to be sweet. Why does everybody have to turn good things into something sick and twisted! What you put up is so wrong and I don't agree but whatever. This is why I'm not a people person.

[whyisitso]

Yeah, it was funny years ago, now this joke is just worn out.

[Opinion Owner]

@loveisbeautiful what? Most of the classic Disney cartoons have sexist and creepy overtones. For instance Pocahontas was 12 years old. Cinderella is about finding a man before you get too old and no man will want you. Beauty and the beast justifies Bride kidnapping.

[loveisbeautiful]

First of all, maybe the really Pocahontas was 12 but in the movie she's not 12 and they don't even get married. He gets shot and has to go back to his land, so they are never together anyway.

Cinderella herself just wants to get away from her step mother and step sisters, that's it. It's because of her fairy God mother that she ended up at that ball and met the prince.

Belle was not kidnapped, if you watched the movie you would know that. Her dad got lost coming back from the convention and came upon the beasts castle. He went to the castle and the beast put him in a dungeon. Belle went to look for her father, found his horse and then found his castle. She found her dad and ask the beast to let him go and she would be his captive instead. SHE offered to stay, HE did not kidnap her.

These are Disney movies for kids, that's it. I'm so tired of people picking them apart and dissecting them to try and put issues in there that just aren't.

[Opinion Owner]

@loveisbeautiful do we really want these movies warping our children's minds?

[loveisbeautiful]

My mind isn't warped and I watched Disney movies. If kids get warped, this world is the reason why not the movies they watch.

[the_esculater]

Kikiki, I think the fact that it's still legal to marry a 12 year old in almost half of the states in the US, makes the Pocahontas joke very relevant.

[loveisbeautiful]

@the_esculater In what U. S. state is it legal to marry 12 year old? I know it's not legal here in IL. You're not even considered an adult here until 18 and you can't drink until your 21, so really don't see where it would be legal to marry 12 year in the U. S. I know in different countries, it varies but this is not one of those countries.

[Opinion Owner]

@loveisbeautiful 13 in New Hampshire, 14 in Alaska,15 in Utah,

[loveisbeautiful]

Okay.

[Opinion Owner]

@loveisbeautiful in most States it's legal to have sex with a minor provided your both legally married

[loveisbeautiful]

I'm not really sure when that happened but okay.

[Opinion Owner]

@loveisbeautiful just old laws still in effect from the 1800s

[the_esculater]

You can easily Google this though.
theconversation.com/child-marriage-is-still-legal-in-the-us-88846

[loveisbeautiful]

@the_esculater No need to, my mom already looked it up for me and it's apparently true. Which is extremely creepy.

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

I think I'll have to go for Prince Phillip. Because he fought for good & freedom against huge odds without giving up and won. A guy like that who's not only willing to talk the talk but put it all on the line when it matters is a guy I really admire. Other than that it'd probably be Tarzan but I'm not about to live in a tree ;p

[whyisitso]

That's a good answer!!

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

It's just while Eric and Prince Charming were both very caring & dedicated, they were also complete oblivious morons. Which Prince just lets random women into his castle & spends his whole day with them? Who marries someone with no royal birth because of her voice despite knowing her for a week? Prince Eric, that's who.

Who falls desperately in love with a girl but *can't remember her name or what she looks like*? Prince Charming, of course. How plastered was he that evening anyway?

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

Hehe, thanks for the MHO

[estoydorado1]

I'd choose hercules. He's a literal god (demigod in the mythology but whatevs) he truly liked meg for who she was, even after she made a huge mistake, and he was a good guy from the start lol. The other princes were either superficial (how could they fall in love with a woman who couldn't speak, was unconscious, they met for a few hours before she ran away, etc.) Aladdin mainly wanted to marry Jasmine for her status and John Smith was on a mission for genocide and territory before he met Pocahontas. Imagine who he would be if they didn't happen to meet.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

"John Smith was on a mission for genocide and territory before he met Pocahontas."
No.. just territory. And technically gold.

[estoydorado1]

@FýrdracaDócincel His fellow explorers were ready to go to war for the resources in Pocahontas's little village. If you've heard about the skirmishes between Native indians & European explorers in just about every history story, the natives wound up either diseased & dead, displaced, etc.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

You're talking about real life history ((half of which I'm not even sure I believe anyway)).

I'm talking about the movie. And even then, it didn't become personal until later on. At first all they wanted was the gold ((meaning, as you said yourself, it was about the resources)).

[estoydorado1]

@FýrdracaDócincel Pocahontas's dad had john prisoner, john Smith killed Pocahontas's betrothed (the future chieftain) and in the end there was a stand off (they were all literally about to murder each other) that was only resolved by Pocahontas & John's declarations of love for each other.

If John hadn't happened to accidentally stumble into the hot native princess and fall in love, he probably would've had no problem fighting and killing her whole clan for their resources along with his fellow explorers. Don't you remember Pocahontas teaching him that a land is more than it's resources (and profitability) and how she had to teach him that the land's inhabitants' lives were of value as well? She literally had to teach him that native life (metaphorically the eagles, otters, wolves, etc.) weren't disposable.

[estoydorado1]

And it was implied that his captain & crew had pillaged other lands before and made good money trading.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Him having John prisoner doesn't prove anything.

John killed that guy in SELF DEFENSE, c'mon now. -_-

And the rest of your argument doesn't prove much other than my point. It was about getting the resources, not about "exercising hatred" or whatever. The native people would have just been collateral damage.

[estoydorado1]

@FýrdracaDócincel John was tied to a stake and awaiting punishment, which aids my point that hostilities were high. It wasn't a completely big kumbaya disney fairytale if you pay enough attention to context. You're acting like they really cared whether he was defending himself or not. As far as their community was concerned, John (a member of the crew they already viewed with suspicion) was messing around with the Chieftain's young daughter and the future Chieftain's bride to be, and to add further insult to injury, when the future Chieftain tried to fight for both his and Pocahontas's honor he wound up killed. I'm looking at the whole context, not just a specific scene where Pocahontas's fiance attacked John.

I'm not justifying the attack just pointing out how it exacerbates and highlights the social tensions and animosity.

[estoydorado1]

Long story short, I wouldn't want to have to point out to my love interest that all lives hold value "whether white or copper skin" as Pocahontas literally has to explain via song in Colors of the wind. For a world traveler he was painfully ignorant in nearly all aspects of decency, he nearly tore her community apart, and failed to show respect for almost every aspect of her culture. I don't find that endearing.

You're being tedious, yet again and nitpicking my case as to why I'm not impressed w/ a fictional character. My thoughts and feelings stand.

[estoydorado1]

Also. Where did I specifically say that John smith would kill her tribe out of hate? Your comment about her clansmen being collateral damage is my whole point when I referred to the genocide. Since the war would probably be fought near or w/in her village, since they want the resources her land provides, it's safe to say that everyone in that village is at risk for harm or death. That's not a romantic or endearing, thought.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

I can see perfectly why you wouldn't choose him.

However, once again, I saw this quote of yours:
"John Smith was on a mission for genocide and territory before he met Pocahontas."

You'll forgive me if I saw the "genocide" part and assumed that you're one of those idiots who think the mission was to specifically massacre people just for the sake of "supremacy."

[estoydorado1]

@FýrdracaDócincel Yeah, no. My thinking was that he planned to make a profit at any cost, even if that meant war. Which he and his crew didn't seem at all sorry about until he fell in love.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Glad we could come to that agreement.

[fauchelevent]

That Prince Phillip looks a lot like one of my friends, wow :P Uh, I'd probably go with either Flynn or Shang:

Wow, I wanna get to know your friend ;)

[ObscuredBeyond]

I dunno. I have image problems, and this what what I see when I look in the mirror:

[Jager66]

i dunno man.. Baloo is the man!

[angelgirl7]

Flynn Ryder.
Tangled is my favorite princess movie but that's not why I picked him lol. Not only is he handsome but I loved his personality and sarcastic sense of humor. Unlike other princess relationships, I like that how he and Rapunzel's relationship progressed and how he slowly softened and became protective of her. He was more than a pretty face or someone who saved the princess, they were a team.

[Jjpayne]

Cool prince eric! I picked the winner! But I would like to be the guy in tangled, Flynn

At least you got down to business. :-P

[IlyaTheImpaler]

I'd be like Eric I guess, chasing after an unattainable woman, in the end she had to go through a painful transformation to be my wife and then divorce after 2 years lul

[whyisitso]

Haha... no!

[9teen]

Prince Phillip has no single feminine feature unlike the others. He looks masculine and is therefore the most attractive amongst them. I'd choose him.

[whyisitso]

I think all of them look a little too pretty, but Prince Philip looks the best. I would probably chose him just because I want to be the sleeping beauty

[dancing_in_nebulas]

Prince Phillip is fucking hot. I dont remember him being that hot lol
But Adam is just unbelievably fucking hot to me.

So hard to pick.

John smith looks like the buffed up Crocodile Hinter

[dancing_in_nebulas]

*hunter

[the_esculater]

Which feminine features does the first one have? Philip got that beauty spot going for him.

[Anonymous]

Hercules, his father is a god. He's strong as hell and would probably fracture my hip during sex. He'd drool over me and save me from the underworld. Our babies would be cute as shit since I'm black. I'd be more than protected. We'd live on some cute island or something. He's caring and loving yet throws hands on sight. Beheads monsters. He can get this action anytime.

[Anonymous]

Going by the pictures of how beautiful they are my first choice would be Prince Adam because he looks the most beautiful. I also liked Prince Charming, Prince Eric, and Hercules but Prince Adam is my #1. In the Disney movies, Prince Phillip would be probably be my favorite.

[ThisDudeHere]

These princes put a lot of unrealistic and sexist expectations on men and thus should be banned. Princesses too since they do the same for women.

[whyisitso]

Yeah, I actually agree on this one. It is true and I am not even a big fan of Disney movies because of this.

Came to think of this one
https://youtu.be/p4OyCNctKXg

[Benedek38]

@whyisitso
"Why would we read this to our daughters"
First of all, those butch lesbians will never have a daughter. And should never have one.

Secondly, I love how they make it out to be detrimental to Cinderella only.
What about the totally realistic expectation of men needing to be ACTUAL FUCKING PRINCES to live up to Cinderella's expectations. It's not like the village blacksmith was good enough for her, right? I am sure he's a nice fella though.

Thirdly, actually it is biologically proven that different things appeal to men and women, boys and girls. There is a reason boys want to swordfight with sticks, shoot with finger pistols, or anything like that, while girls like to play more social games.
"But *I* was a tomboy! Gender is fluid!"
Yeah, get this: never met a "tomboy" who was willing to spar with me. Hell, I did (still do) martial arts, and even girls there did not like full contact sparring, because it was rude and scary. And they were true "tomboys".

[ThisDudeHere]

Just To be clear, I was being sarcastic to an extent.

[whyisitso]

https://i.imgflip.com/11mlni.jpg

[clampfan101]

I find Ariel and Belle the most attractive princesses.
If I were a girl, it’s hard to surpass a freakin’ demigod like “Wonder Boy”. lol I definitely like the idea of having a demigoddess! Then again, Adam is a sweet,(sometimes. lol), prince with a huge castle and plenty of kind servants. Tough call...

[Bananaman177]

There is only one Prince in this universe worth mentioning and he has little time indeed for the childish fantasies of some stupid girl, and nor have I.

Aladdin. Not only do you get Jasmine but you are friends with a resourceful monkey, a former genie and you have a magic carpet.

[blubblubblub]

Why is this still features i keep seeing this question every 2 minutes

[whyisitso]

I don't get it either... I'm so tired of seeing people comment on it still :D I guess these questions are the kind of questions that get attention on Gag

[Diznedude]

I chose Hercules because only he sacrificed his lifelong dream for love.

[whyisitso]

❤ cute one

[Lostranza]

I would have to choose prince Eric. I think he's handsome has a great personality and can be adorably naive at times. He also screams bachelor contestant to me for some reason.

[SaltyBooze]

nah, theyre all fucked up or abusive. cept for disney hercules, i guess, but the "real" dude actually left several lovers behind just for his own selfishness.
