A decent fanfic, but realistically not going to happen since Once Upon A Time is about fairytales and literature and things based on it. Wreck-it-ralph has is based on none of those. Though it borrows from it, Once isn't a show about all things Disney, or Robin Hood would be a fox... OK, not having a literary counterpoint, you're right, Wreck-it-Ralph should not make an appearance on OUAT. So what about comic books (especially from the Golden Age) superheroes (and super-villains)? Or do you consider Comic books NOT literature? :P (What, you don't want to see Rumples vs Superman???? Mahahahaha) I highly doubt we will ever see superheros on this show, even though the rights for Marvel would be easy enough to get due to Disney owning them. I feel like what Adam and Eddy said about Star Wars (which again, the rights are owned by Disney, so it wouldn't be hard to get), that they love it, but it wouldn't fit in their show, would also apply to the Marvel characters. I think Thor could make it on. Thor is based off of an actual Norse god of the same name. Once has already referenced him through Charming dialogue in season 4A (Josh Dallas had a part in the first Thor movie, and was replaced by Zachary Levi. But Zachary Levi's Flynn Rider was replaced by Josh's Charming on Once's Rapunzel, so it's all good. LOL) And Poseidon proves they're not opposed to bringing in the gods.

But if they did do Thor, it'd probably be the original mythical god and not the Marvel superhero. But since they're so intertwined, obviously there'd be references to both. I for one would love to visit Valhalla, the afterlife of the warriors. Yes, they could do Thor, if they were doing Norse mythology, but I don't know if they would do more than a joke to the marvel comic part. Something like:

Emma: Wait, Thor? Like the comic?

Regina: I guess you didn't take World Mythology in bailbonds-person school.

But I also don't know if we're going to get into other mythologies besides Greek. And Greek mythology was established early, in the sixth episode of season one with Midas. So far we haven't had any confirmation of anything from Egyptian, Norse, or any other mythology. Plus, how do they work in multiple mythologies, all with there own gods, godesses, and afterlifes. It starts to get really messy, and alot of people are already aprehensive to see how they handle Posiden (and then possibly other Greek gods). Not only that, we still need to focus on our core cast and already established characters. Adding in gods, goddesses, heroes, and monsters from multiple mythologies would add like at least 100 new characters. If they really want to do mythology, giving both it and the current show justice, they need their own spinoff shows: Once Upon A Time on Mt. Olympus, etc.
