An AI-created video imagines Disney princesses as Marvel heroes. AI has increased in popularity and functionality in recent years. One common use of the technology is crafting prompts to generate unexpected art and concepts. Disney has become an especially popular target for this, with AI users imagining what real-life Disney princesses would look like.
YouTube channel Dreamy AI goes in a different direction, envisioning various Disney princesses as Marvel heroes. The video compiles several works of AI art and even includes each princess’ superpower. Check it out below:
While some of the superpowers are fairly obvious, such as Elsa having “Ice control,” some are a little more unexpected but still work with the character, including Jasmine possessing “Tiger fire.”
What Disney Princesses & Marvel Heroes Have In Common
As proven by the video, Disney princesses and Marvel heroes aren’t all that different. Both groups contain a mix of superpowered and non-superpowered individuals. Earlier princesses like Belle, Cinderella, and Ariel don’t have powers, while some more recent princesses like Elsa and Rapunzel do. Similarly, Avengers like Thor and Captain America have superpowers, while Black Widow and Hawkeye don’t.
In the case of both Disney princesses and Marvel heroes, even those without powers are affected by them, with virtually every Disney princess encountering magic in some form even when they don’t possess it themselves. The same is true of Marvel heroes; Black Widow and Hawkeye are no strangers to seeing superpowers in action even while their own skills are more street-level.
With how much Disney princesses and Marvel heroes have in common, it makes sense to marry the two in this way. Some of the princesses even have an obvious Marvel counterpart, such as Merida and Hawkeye. While the video is focused on Marvel rather than DC, Merida is also a good match for Green Arrow, while Pocahontas’ “Plant Control” power is reminiscent of Poison Ivy’s. Using the art as a reference, it’s easy to imagine an Avengers-style team-up with the Disney princesses coming together to fight for good.
