But Shrek, tho?

DA That would mean they weren't doing a faithful adaptation then, but if it was literally the genders that were just reversed you'd still have two attractive pieces of royalty at the end.

Shrek also may have played with the trope, but there was an interesting discussion on her a long while ago about how the princess may have remained an ogre, but she also ended up paired with another ogre instead of an attractive prince. So that's not really the idea OP is playing with.

The attractive prince(s) were assholes tho, but.

True, but when there was a discussion about it I remember someone bringing up that they took away from Shrek that "you belong with your own kind" and I thought that was an interesting interpretation.

Shrek could have had a nice attractive prince fall in love with the princess, and love her ogre form. Granted the story would have needed to be pretty different but it's just another way to play with subverting tropes.

nayrt Well, it's clear OP isn't referring to a straightforward adaptation in any case, as they reference a specific variation they'd like to see:

Doesn't that still give you an attractive princess at the end though?

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, but it's a far less well known tale, so audiences aren't as likely to be able to predict the ending.
