✨ASHA'S VILLAIN STORY✨
Asha loves her city, she loves her friends and she loves her family. The love she has for them is fierce and unending, if anything were to happen to them she would defend them with everything she has. Asha also has a strong sense of justice, her moral code is strict and she believes that everyone should be treated fairly and be given the chance to pursue their dreams.
So when Magnifico came to her home and destroyed her mothers wish right in front of her eyes Asha was filled with rage. In this moment she had two choices, she could descend into that righteous rage and dish out her own justice or she could move forward and simply do her best to release everyone else's wishes where she had been unable to release her mothers. But this is a villain story.
Asha was heartbroken for her mother, and filled with anger at what had happened. Magnifico had lied to their whole city and then taken a piece of her mothers heart and destroyed it forever. Asha had already lost her father and now she could see her mother disappearing in front of her. Possessing a fierce sense of justice, it seemed it was time she dished out some of her own.
The king liked stealing and crushing people's wishes? Well he shouldn’t have told her about the book of forbidden magic. Let's see how he enjoys seeing his wish being crushed.

Hey Lydia please Alice villain?
Damn your fast the movie just came out and already a villian song (this is the movie wish right correct me if I'm wrong) THNXS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK❤
@@Whrick I second that. Especially if the Alice's villain song will be her version of "I'm Odd", where she takes over Wonderland just so she won't have to deal with the adult world again.
😮😮😮😮
Will the song be available to purchase on iTunes?
It would actually make a lot of sense to have her as the villain and Magnifico as the hero.
He was actually a reasonable guy and a good king, before the movie suddenly turned him into a complete cliché of a villain and a parody of himself.
Ikr! Disney has really lost its spark
@@IzuMei_is_underratedfrfr
I was questioning who the real villain was
Furthermore, what the hell is that heel-face turn
It’s like they pulled the script right out of chatGPT
@@NeoGen1987I don’t know what’s more concerning, that it was written by AI, or that it was written by real people and someone read through the script and said “yeah, this’ll make us BANK at the box office”. If it’s the latter, (which is more likely the case) then I can’t really blame the writers. There’s a little mini series on how they were working on Wish and, by the looks of it, they only had like two or three years to make the movie. They also had a TON of pressure, as it’s the 100th anniversary movie.
Asha could be the selfish girl who unintentionally goes too far all because she wants everyone's wishes to come true. And because of her selfishness, she doesn't stop, thinking she's in the right. Then when she finally goes to the crowd proudly proclaiming that she's helping the people, they shout at her, pressuring. since Ashas intent was to just help, stunned, she could give up and be forgiven and the moral could be like "don't be greedy" or something cheesy like that.
Previous Villain Songs: "What if Disney princesses had a villainous twist to them?"
Asha's Villain Song: "What if Wish was actually better?"
lol so true
*actually good
@@sodium_and_scalesAsha’s Villain Song: Asha’s Disney Princess Song in Jir Mirza’s 2023 Christmas Special timeline AU version.
Made by Great Britain and Germany uniting into The Roman Empire in 1960, Disney’s 2023 anniversary is civilized and not barbarian Germanic trash
What if Asha’s movie was made in The AU where Jir’s Christmas Special happened
Pretty much.
I have a fun idea: Instead of Princess Villain Songs, what about Villain Songs being turned into hero songs? Where the old villains have to stop these princesses
I think that’s an awesome thought, just imagining Magnifico standing with star even with his wish destroyed, Hades coming back to life and teaming with Hercules, or even Dr Falicifer teaching Lottie his magic after he realized his deal went to far, that’d be magnificent!
@@PupPupAbawi Or having Jafar stops Alladin, now that he married Jasmine and become the sultan, since, as a "street rat" he has no idea how to rule a kingdom.
@@thetwelfthdoctor9892I recommend Twisted the musical :) it’s a different concept than that but has Aladdin as the bad guy and Jafar as the hero so close enough!
This is an awesome idea!!
Ikr I want it
I would really like it if they would a "reverse surprise villain" and make magnifico the good guy and asha bad, unfortunately Disney won't have the balls to do that
Yes the film starts as normal ( we still follow Asha) but then bam plot twist asha is the bad guy, just imagine the first lead princess is a bad guy that would have made wish stay in people's minds the tag line is :be careful what you wish for
Which is ironic cause it would’ve made for a stronger female character than what we were left with
Well yeah, because they sold their balls to china for security.
Because studio Disney fool.
Yeah!
I love how they both say "you'll suffer for your crimes" yet Asha means it as a threat and magnifico means it as a warning
Edit: I misspelled magnifico as mahnifico
Oh, me too!
Yep, including this in my version, brilliant!
Indeed
U IN MY BRAIN?!?! 😨😨🤔🤔
mahnifico? :
"Asha understand I am just a man" That line hit hard coming from Magnifico.
Fr
It hits hard when you've listened to epic the musical
@@moonshot_eclipse6845 YOU LISTEN TO THAT TOO!?
@@aliceinwonderbruh6433 MHM. FAV SONG???
@@moonshot_eclipse6845 all the Ocean Saga songss
You?
"Now you try to complete with a Galaxy!"
"Stars they might seem right, but they dwell in night!"
Jesus Christ this is amazing! These two lines! It sounds like Asha is losing herself to the magic, and just the idea of stars, this thing that humanity has inherently labeled as good and kind, shining into the night, being bad! It's fantastic!
Stars almost always have a positive image in a fantasy, much more than Moon (also symbol of insanity) or Sun (also symbol of opressive authority), so this song with "gal, if stars told you to do something its not automatically mean its good thing to do" was very refreshing.
And human greed and unability to be satisfied even with the best treatment is another classical moral theme, from that last traitor in "Princess Mononoke" to Jack Horner in "Puss in Boots 2" or even "its NEVER good enough" line from Andrew Graves in "The Coffin of Andy and Leyley" chapter 2, when no level of devotion can pacify agressive paranoia of victim of parental neglect
there is a reason why the individual commonly referred to as "The Morning Star" is also declared "The Father of Lies".
It’s kinda like Isabella’s villain song. They used a flower metaphor and for this they used a star metaphor.
@@christopherbravo1813 also the word disaster comes from a word for stars aster in Greek
@@ethanharper8346 that actually makes a great deal of sense.
I think it would be cool if the story was Asha as a protagonist falling to corruption. Especially since Disney doesn't really have protagonists that are evil or can be categorized as evil.
And maybe Magnifico as her antagonist ends up being forced to watch it happen in horror of what he might have caused. Or maybe as the protagonist falls he rises and hoes through a redemption by the end of the story.
She does follow the idea of 'I will take what is MINE (yours)' quite far doesn't she?
why does that sound better then the film we got
@@hayleymcgough8567because it is
Kuzco?
*Jack Skellington?*
Even in the end when Jack realized that he was kinda in the wrong with all that "taking over Christmas" thing, he still end up with: "well, that's because people are stupid and I will have my revenge on them next Halloween, mwhahaha!".
He is unapologetically narcissistic.
Perhaps Asha was not destined to become the Fairy Godmother. Maybe she was always meant to become the evil queen, convinced she was fairer than thou.
She was never gonna become the Fairy Godmother in the first place.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
@@user-gh6es7my8c Asha looks NOTHING like the Fairy Godmother.
@@davidvaldezjr5546 they make a joke on her being the fairy god mother at the end of the movie. That's what this comment is referring to.
@@zebraroll2037 ...Oh.
I would like to see her like this and the world would get a non-standard protagonist in the person of Magnifico. I'm not forcing anyone, this is my opinion and I stand my ground
I thought of that exact idea. Disney Should’ve had magnifico be the true protagonist while asha is slowly revealed to be the villain
@@Harrymation-productions It's nice to see that I'm not alone! My friends called me an evil person because Asha seemed to me the perfect villain. Besides, what's wrong when the main character knows his worth + a healthy ego?
@@Harrymation-productions yea! That sure would have been a welcome surprise and could have really made the movie one to remember
I remember seeing a theory that wish is actually a story of how Asha overthrew the king, but written by her to seem as if she's in the right. Like how history is often written by the victors. When in reality, it could've been magnifico, and she and the queen were the real villains.
@@dragonsman4733 I think that such prerequisites in the film could save the film and give a sequel for part 2, but no. Why do fans come up with stories for nothing better than people with millions of dollars in income😒🤦
Has anyone else noticed that Asha and Magnífico's color inverts as the video progresses so that Asha turns green and Magnífico turns purple?
I saw this video a lot of times I just realized that with ur comment lol
Damn, I didn't notice until now
everyones talking about “now try to compete with a galaxy” but we need to agknowledge that “stars they might seem right but they dwell in night” goes SO DAMN HARD
edit bc i just realized this: it seems really meaningful that Magnifico is singing this emotional melody while Asha is just screaming at the top of her lungs. Asha has so lost her humanity that she cant even sing, only scream.
I feel like its more like she is trying to drown out what Manifico is saying. Like she knows that maybe what he's saying might have some wieght but she's past the time where she's taking advice from him.
I'd be curious to see you imagine evil versions of male characters, like Simba, Hercules, Aladdin or Pinocchio.
That sounds diabolically awesome!
With Hercules or Pinocchio, just look at the original stories, Hercules in mythology did several questionable things and Pinocchio was the worst son you could have.
@@walterparedez1571 I don't think I remember everything Hercules did but I'm pretty sure his labors at least were mostly good. Correct me if I'm mistaken.
@@leebulger7112 he didn't really do much bad consciously, in the myths he was driven mad by Hera, and she made him kill his wife and family, which is why he needed to go on the quests in the first place. In the evil version maybe he refuses to complete them, and rather chooses to use his newfound strength to kill Hera (or Hades in this case) in revenge and take his place as a god to be worshipped in the land of the dead, soon becoming a tyranical and evil ruler, searching for more power, until he overthrows Olympus using the same titans he was supposed to destroy.
@@leebulger7112It depends more on the version since there are many, there is a version where he has to do the 12 jobs as punishment for killing his music teacher just because he criticized him a lot which shows his lack of control in his anger, in another version he killed to his wife and children but that was because of Hera who controlled him so he doesn't count Also several jobs are literally stealing, such as stealing apples, cattle or Hippolita's belt, whom he tricked and manipulated into giving it to him, in some versions he even sexually abused her. Also, like every Greek god, he sleeps with everything that moves, including relatives, and there are times where consent is doubtful. But as I said it depends on the version, Hercules is an ancient character with hundreds of stories and several versions, there are some worse than others
I love how you made Magnefico sympathetic in this song. He's not a bad guy, he just got so caught up in his power, he forgot why he strived for it in the first place; to be so powerful the people of Rosas won't have to know the pain of losing everything they care about like he did.
He finally realized just what he'd become when he saw Asha turn into what he became in the actual movie: someone who's self serving but completely deluded themselves into thinking they're doing it for others.
That made the duet between the two SO GOOD because they're both much more complex characters in this song; One who's seen the consequences of his actions and trying to talk the person they hurt from falling down a dark path, and the other; Someone who started out wanting to do the right thing, but became so blinded by their hurt and feelings of justified betrayal and anger, she became the very thing she sought out to destroy.
The storytelling you do for these songs is AMAZING!
On that point of Asha becoming the very thing she sought out to destroy...There's an old adage and quote by Friedrich Nietzsche from Beyond Good and Evil that goes, _"He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."_ I think this quote personifies and describes Asha in this song to a T. :3. >:3. 😈.
@@hannahmetzger4880Exactly! I love the complexity of Villain Asha!
YES.
This perfectly capsulized what frustrated me so much about this frickin movie that I can't stop thinking about it (albeit probably in not the way that Disney would have wanted.) There are materials with potentials in the movie that went completely wasted! What if, for once, the cliche Villain's line of "You and I, we are the same" is actually corrected, and the heroine path in the story mirrors the villain's origin story, causing the roles to switch as the villain realizes who he has became and feels the ultimate guilt of having to do everything he must before his kingdom is destroyed once again and Asha is far too gone. Basically, a uniquely parallel storyline of the heroine becoming the villain forcing the villain to rise up to become the hero. This also teaches a really great and not talk-about-enough moral that even good intentions can lead to monstrous actions if you lose the sight of "why" you are doing what you are doing.
.
There are already hints even in the Disney version of the story that Asha does what she perceives to be 'the right thing' without thinking about how the person she is doing it for might feel about it (how she tries to tell her grandpa what his wish is even when he has made peace with it not coming true that ends up opening up the wound), which could easily be expanded to be the same fault younger Magnifico had that had twisted him into the person he is. Even if she might not have as bad of a traumatic event that Magnifico had nor as enough time to grow into organic villainy, the movie already provides the information that the magic book thing has corrupting power, so it would make perfect sense for Asha to be corrupted into the worst version of herself instantly leading to a powerful final act of the movie where the original villain has to be the one to do the right thing.
.
They can even keep the same ending with Asha having magic power and Magnifico ending in the mirror, but this time it is due to Magnifico's self sacrifice to undo his damage to restore Asha back to who she was --- removing the corrupting influence of the book (but still leaving her with magic power) while the evil book curses Magnifico back as a final revenge. Magnifico can make peace with it as he realizes he does deserve it, and then acts as an advisor to Asha who is now an inexperienced but powerful sorceress so she can serve the now queendom in his place.
@@kaitunelovemonday THIS. This is so cool.
Disney: utterly fails their characters on their 100th anniversary.
Lydia: casually gives characters gripping and chilling motivations and personalities, all in actually good villain song.
In three minutes no less
The way you made a silly line like “throw caution to every warning sign” actually feel NATURAL and MAKE SENSE I-
Well, Asha is technically the true villain of her movie.
So the fact that she has a villain song makes more sense than King Magnifico
Actually both could be considered villains.
not technically, she is. the dude was ruling his kingdom well until she screwed everything up
It depends on how you view the wish taking. I wish they explored more on what a wish is in this world. I view it like a person’s motivation for living. But they never show the consequences of granting a vague wish.
@@AlexCenFiner
Well, the movie focused on showing (almost to the point of exaggeration) Magnifico's desire to seek more power than he had, but he already wanted to ensure his domain and control of desires, since these can have serious consequences when they are carried out by people's selfishness. It' wasn´t necessary to see these those consequences. There was a guy whose desire was to be a famous conqueror. Fulfilling that wish would involve death and destruction of hundreds of lives, therefore Magnifico refused to grant it.
In case of Asha, she really hasn´t a reason to rebel against Magnifico. In the film, she questions the fact that the king doesn't grant every wish, without giving a second thought to how power really works. Besides this, she clings to the idea of fullfiling his 100-year-old grandfather's dream of inspire others (a dangerous wish that could even destroy reality) when he could well have taken actions on his own all time, inspirating others to be better people in everyday things.
And that's not to mention that the Queen (Magnifico's wife) was also part villain. She lived comfortably and never had any problem with the king's methods, and didn´t do anything when noticed that forbidden magic was corrupting him. Suddenly and almost at the end, she decides to send him to the dungeon without hesitation for a moment. This shows that her only ambition was to become the only ruler of Rosas.
You can say she makes a better villain than the actual villain. That would be different. But she's still the hero, even if the movie does a bad job at showing it. A poorly-written hero isn't automatically a villain.
Love to see Magnifico’s past revealed and the fact that he had to watch his own wish be broken, he regrets for what he had done with tears in his eyes… he never wanted to do this but he had no choice but to do the wrong thing for a right reason, I was wondering what will happen next if Asha going after Amaya…
To me, it makes for a dark ending too since since his wish seems directly linked to the reason he built up Rosas and, probably, by extension, what he mainly lives for.
YOUR CORECT OMG
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS HIS PAST.
"I DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS I SWORE I NEVER DO THIS"
"BUT IM HYPNOTIZED"
Plot twist, the nest song is Amaya's villain song with her coming after Asha seeking revenge
"You'll suffer for your crimes!"
One is saying it as a threat, one as a warning.
My god, this is so powerful and narratively more impactful than the film we got.
We got the backstory playing more into this version, the motivations of a well meaning yet foolish youth.
If Disney went this route, we could have got an amazing film with Asha being one of Disney's best villains.
Indeed
Totally agree, also a movie about an apprentice which do something stupid and learn about it would totally fit the 100 anniversary, due The Sorcerer's Apprentice mickey.
In the end, they both could learn about the limits, dreams and liberty. None actually evil, just humans
I agree that the movie was a good way to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary.
I love to see the more human side of Magnifico in this, it's so interesting seeing Asha more than a hero. "Asha I'm just a man!" Got me so hard, it shows himself truly.
Then you are a fan of epic the musical and that line hits twice as hard

I love the detail of how Asha, the hero, started off with a purple color scheme and Magnifico, the villain, was in green…but by the end, both their color schemes and their roles have been switched. 👀
Haven't seen this movie, but based on everyone's opinion, this should be an improvement.
I genuinely thought it was good, but also it's meant for 5-10 year old children like frozen is, so our opinion doesn't matter too much.
Disney is supposed to be "family friendly" which means the whole family, not just kids. @@SnickerDoodleBug05
This is my opinion, and you are right that it’s for a younger demographic, but I feel young kids deserve well written stories. I’m glad you like Wish but I feel like it could have been done better in some areas.
@@SnickerDoodleBug05 most movies made for adults are just as worse, so
@@GizzmoGearheadI don’t feel the writing was that bad though- I honestly really enjoyed it, it was comedic and a fun watch, I’d probably watch it again tbh. I do wish we had a star boy but I’m also okay with the fact that there’s no love interest, just a fun cute little buddy, and I like other concepts they went with like the queen not being evil- for me it showed that it’s hard to recognize sometimes that a loved one isn’t truly a good person but when you realize- it’s okay to walk away from them- not just for yourself but for others as well- it was my favorite concept in the movie- anyways I’m rambling so overall- I enjoyed everything about it really- nothing I can particularly hate on except for maybe the animation could be better
Lydia really saw Wish, said "damn, that is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life" and just made Asha and what's-his-face good characters

YES! My fav moment : )
🥶🥶🥶
I like how this basically pitches a unique rewrite of Wish. Where Asha is the true villain when in any other movie she'd be the Disney Princess/Heroine, while Magnifico is the non-standard hero, on a path of redemption to make up for his biggest past mistakes. Granted, id still prefer it/think it be better if they stuck to alot of the original concepts, but this sounds like a a cool and interesting what if scenario.
One of the better ways for wish to be interpreted:
Swap the protagonist and antagonist roles between Asha and magnifico
👏 boom
The very first Disney princess villain
That would have been cool, OMG. Like, I love this version, but I heard there was another one where Asha was meant to be actually part evil since her parents were a evil couple, and her learning to be nice from the star, which in that version he could shapeshift into a boy. Then I think they would have eventually fallen in love.
They had a Disney princess villain in the cartoon show Dave the Barbarian, but the show didn't last long. It came out some time in 2005.
@@princesssia8838 mhm...thanks for the info
But since we had a gigantic well of disney villain drought, something like a evil asha would have given the intrest in em a massive shot to the fans ya know?

@@princesssia8838And as for the other "first" we could've had (Magnifico and Amaya as the "first" Disney Villain power couple), Grim and Hildy Gloom, the 7D, 2014. Looks like we can always count on Disney TVA to fill in the gaps that the movie canon has.
Guys, she is NOT a princess.This is not an insult, but a fact.

Yeah I agree 😊
NO! This is significantly better than that
Yes! Maybe slightly alter some lyrics to make it better though.
No that song is awful
Yess pls
Yeah, pretty much how I saw their roles during the movie. It was kind of infuriating. They set Magnifico up as a sympathetic villian, then they seemed to forget halfway through and gave him the old “throw him in the dungeon” for typical bad guys. Even his wife had not a trace of pity for him.
If you’re making a Hans villain, that’s fine. If you’re making an Alma villain, fine. You can even make a Hans villain that becomes an Alma villain. But you CANNOT do it the other way around. Then it’s inconsistent and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Thanks to this song, I can feel some of my frustration lift. It was superbly done, as always!
Well im sure the wife had conversation with with him in Dungeon and possibly carries him around.
Eh gundam did that fine with Azrael which went from sympathetic victim to sympathetic villain to pure evil

Would you have pity for your husband if he struck you down, lied, and didn't even trust you?
I was actually listening to the “Wish” soundtrack and when this song came on I thought “how could this become villainous, it’s such a pure and sentimental song?” I’m honestly very impressed that even a heartwarming song could be corrupted.
Did you not hear her version of "So this is love" in Cinderella ???
@zaura19, I didn’t because I’m not as into old Disney like Cinderella and Snow White, I like new Disney like encanto, elemental and wish
@@AvaKing-gh3st Elemental and Wish are the 'Everyone should give me my wishes, I shouldn't need to work for my dreams' consumable product movies, everyone getting wishes should be obvious in how it will go wrong if you think beyond 'I'll get what I want.'
'I want irresistible to women' 'I want ___ to lose their job', even just 'well meaning' wishes could go wrong.
There is so many stories on why self-centered wishes will go wrong, for example King Midas and how everything he touched turning to gold meant he starved after accidentally killing his family. So many stories and Wish tries to say that the person who dares to not give US what WE want NOW for FREE is the bad guy.

This is a great concept

No real hero in this story
I like it
I like this because when I saw the movie I did kind of understand why people were saying either Asha or Magnifico could be the villain in this movie. Magnifico sought out magic to protect others from experiencing the loss and oppression he'd experienced, to create a kingdom where everyone could be safe and accepted. And he thought by having people give them their wishes he could keep them safe. And when he says that some dreams could be dangerous if they came true - either because they are inherently dangerous or because, like Asha's grandfather's wish, they're too vague for one to know if they're safe - he's not wrong, really. But as I've seen people point out since, if he knew a dream could not or shouldn't ever be granted, he should have maybe given the person their dream back or something rather than hoarding it and making the person pine away for years waiting for their chance. But he didn't, and he used the people's ignorance of the truth to secretly insure their loyalty to him. And mind you, it's shown that not having your wish inside you makes you feel incomplete inside, but since your memory of the wish is also wiped, you don't know what you're missing. Which at first glance sounds fine, but is actually kinda messed up, especially if you had to wait decades like Asha's grandfather had done, hoping to one day get your wish granted. And of course, Magnifico does end up giving in to his own selfishness and greed and using the forbidden magic to maintain control, since he knows that once the truth comes out, he'll lose his support. Even the Queen states that this isn't typical behavior for him, and it is stated that power such as the book provides can corrupt even a good person.
Asha's take is that everyone should have a chance to get their wishes granted, no matter what they are. And she's not wrong to want that. But Magnifico has the life experience and maturity that she doesn't to know that life doesn't always work that way. Her naivete and sense of justice blind her to this. So in her case, her intentions are good, but lacking in perspective. This is why those older than her try to tell her to sit down, because they know better.
I agree with a lot of the points that you made about Magnifico, the only thing that I'd say makes it hard to tell that he's evil is that there's no inherent side effect of giving up your wish to him. Sure, the sleepy guy is shown, but he's literally the ONLY character we see having this issue while everyone else seems to be fine. Not to mention, the lyrics in the song welcome to Rosas gives the impression that giving your wish is optional and you can choose to do so or not. The plot of this movie has a lot of contradicting information that makes it hard to tell who the villain is supposed to be in the first place. They say that giving up your wish makes you feel incomplete, but all of the other citizens are happy and fine, except for Simon the sleepy dude, and one of the main selling points to give up your wish that Magnifico says is that people forget their worries and heartache when the wish doesn't come true. If people forgot their wish, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that they'd feel incomplete or depressed without it. And it's also in human nature to keep making wishes since people change over time. They made the supposed "antagonist" a very reasonable and understanding dude. Asha comes across as more of an entitled brat throwing a hissy fit cuz she didn't get what she wanted, to me at least
The fact that I haven't seen Wish yet but this song gave me actual chills...
Really says something about how amazing this is.
Honestly you aren’t missing much. This is a thousand times better than the whole movie in only a few minutes, and I feel like that says something
Trust me, this song is better than all of the ones in the movie combined, it ain't worth watching.
King's bad because he judges if a wish would help society and only grants it if it does, Main Character(tm) says everyone should have their wishes granted, King becomes corrupted by evil magic because he needs to be shown as the bad guy, sealed in a mirror because of not giving wishes to everyone, Main Character gives magic to everyone because the writers... I mean everyone should get what they want. End. I think there was something about animals getting what they want as well, which might sound good to someone who has never left the wealthy part of their city but would probably result in flies wishing everything would be rotting corpses and flies. A 'Jack Horner' who immediately wished that they had all the magic in the world and none for anyone else would actually be somewhat a hero in such a situation.
これはまさに最高の映画でしたよ。
一度見たほうが良いと思います！
God the line of "now try compete WITH A GALAXY" with the raw cracking of the voice with Asha makes it so good like so threatening and intimidating
“This is the things I get,” doesn’t even sound like a villain song and now THIS. Is a villain song
I like how in addition to making the heroic Asha more villainous, you make the villainous King Magnifico more heroic (or at least, more sympathetic).
If only the canon version of this story could've been as complex or emotionally charged...
I’m convinced at this point that Asha is actually the villain in wish and it’s a story to,d from the villain’s pov
Quite a powerful song on showing how one can fall when they find their hero is not all they thought them to be. And sometimes it just creates a far darker villain who is willing to do anything to see them fall.
Just like Syndrome from Incredibles.
@@adolfopena7358Dammit you got here first. But yeah true.
@@adolfopena7358 i thought the same, but you guys are faster.

I really loves this version, based in the fact which at least Magnifico in the own movie of Disney looks more to be the good guy than Asha, and also the emotions in this song feels so connectable, that's so damn good.
Dude the
they dwell in night and with a galaxy goes so hard. He sounds so desperate and angry while she sounds kinda crazy
I love how the image of the star goes from hope to burning rage. Both an accurate depiction of stars, and it’s Asha’s choice. She chooses that rage, and in the end she gets her “revenge.”
I enjoy this concept a thousand times more than the actual movie. I love corruption stories and it could have been a refreshing change of formula to have the storie told from the perspective of the villain. At the beginning we think she is the hero protagonist, however, as the movie goes on we would see her ascend to the darkness of the sky only for the true hero to arise and for our surprise it isn't the main character, but the king who only wants to protect his kingdom at all costs for fear of losing everything he loves once again.
There were so many ways to make the storie work and even pull a good sequel but disney choose a clear path to disaster.
When an animatic looks more like old disney, than what disney did to Wish
the king is giving major hero vibes when at that time he was possessed by the evil magic as well
Well, everyone is the hero or villain in their own stories. The choices we make, and actions that we follow, are a reflection of who we are. Asha is a beautiful and strong woman, and she's going to prove it!
Great job, Lydia! Merry Christmas!!
Exactly,it's depends on how you view the story.
Yeah let her recklessly grant wisheds to peopel without any thought even if its so vague and if it worst she become the exact person s king magnifico:-: all she do is complain
WOAH that duet part. I absolutely love duets where they're not saying the same thing and it's just blended SO WELL.
I'm super obsessed with the way you went with a lower pitch instead of the higher in the original with "So I look up to the stars to guide me", and in general, I think it was a super great touch!!
it's baffling just HOW much better this is than any of the songs in Wish. I wish you guys were writing the songs (and the script) to that movie
"You'll suffer for your crimes" SHIVERS
This plot looks actually better then the actual movie plot I am more excited to see this plot then the actual movie
Whoever covered Magnifico deserves a raise✨✨✨✨
I love how even as she is about to do something horrendous to him, as she is making all his worst nightmares come true and bringing all his trauma back to him, he is still concerned for her. He is tryimg to save her, to stop her, to walk her back from that ledge he went off of when he himself was young.
I wish Disney (or really any movie company) would make a movie where the main character is a lil bean, but has a shitty life, and then they finally snap and go villain. And instead of them getting better, they just get stopped. And the people that caused the shitty living conditions wants to make it right, but can’t. The villain is caught, but there’s not a sense of closure because there’s not redemption. I feel like it would teach a good lesson about how sometimes things can’t be fixed, words can hurt, and actions have consequences
I recently watched again Anna's villain song and now I can't stop thinking about villian Elsa. Like, if her powers are not enough to save Anna and she is killing Hans, and then fight with his brothers that came to take revenge...
Love your songs and stories that you tell us!❤❤❤
Lydia actually did a villain song for her, though I don't remember what her story was.
@@Cyanna.Scribeit wasn't that much of a villain song, it was a cover of "into the unknown" and it was a world where Anna wasn't saved, I don't remember much about the story though.
I wish they kept Elsa as a villain like they planned. I really don’t like her character arc where she’s just confused all the time instead of being truly f up.
Basically it was just a cover of into the unknown in a different timeline if Anna wasn't saved and from what i gathered it sounded like Elsa was going insane
It would be a cool vengeance story!
I like how Star is just like ' Don't do it Asha! '
I would much rather see this story instead of the mess we got.
Their "most evil villain" was a just white guy who was a wizard king that studied magic and created an utopia motivated by his childhood trauma and desire to help others. Then halfway through he had an out of nowhere 180 turn in his personality and no motivation as a villain, story needed a villain and writers forced the part on him.
While the song itself is a bit off (not sure if it's the lyrics or the lyricist) but the message behind it is absolutely on point and I feel is a perfect depiction of what Wish 'should' have been. A battle between two well-intentioned extremists (which could have culminated into the two of them coming to finally see eye to eye, and Magnifico RETURNING the wishes so that people can make them come true with their own abilities.
AHHHHH this series has been so good!!!! Im such a fan! I hope one day everyone makes a "villian songs turned good" series! I think it would be fun!!
*casually wishes for this to be canon*
Part of me hates that they weren’t smart enough to do this sorta twist on Asha's ‘This Wish’ song and also turn it into the villain song for King Magnifico. Instead I could totally see him singing what Asha sings here as he finally unleashes the power of the evil book, descending into madness while bitterly recounting on his short-lived tarnished bond with Asha from the beginning, furthermore now threatening to crush her Saba's wish as a result or something like he did her mother's earlier on while grappling the fact his subjects might be going against him thinking she's to blame. It's just like in Aladdin where Jafar doesn't get this own villain song, but rather his rendition of "Prince Ali". We totally could've gotten this rather than “This is the Thanks I Get?!” which is too upbeat and out of nowhere. It would’ve been more progressive to the story and shown how he still thinks he’s in the right but unfortunately too far gone. In his place in the song here his wife Queen Amaya could be the one who walks in on him unleashing the evil and they sing the duet in similar fashion as she tries to talk him down/back to reality with little success... basically replace that one random scene in the movie where she told him to breathe with this. I love the idea! Get Chris Pine in the studio 😂
Not only would this show how the two main characters (Magnifico and Asha) are very similar in hindsight but also are ultimately hugely different in their real motives/destinies, it could’ve furthermore also been the in depth look we missed and needed where Amaya realizes there’s no hope in saving her beloved husband before completely turning on him like a 180 🤦♀️ joining the teens then throwing him in the dungeon stuck in a magic mirror forever.. idk just a random thought.
A random but thorough thought, we’ll versed and explained. 😉 though it’s only half as nice as those eyes 🌹 haha.
Can we all agree that the duet here is amazing? 2:26.
Like Asha's lines are amazing. "Now you try and compete, with a galaxy!" She has the power to do anything now, and she knows it.
In one music video she made a better plot then the whole movie did ~ beautiful song I love it!!
This song is what I call powerful. Both original and villain's cover. The move will aire in January. I'm not sure if I'll watch it. The story doesn't call my attention, but I liked this song. I regret that I wanted another character over Asha. It is absolutely perfect 🥰. It's powerful indeed, even more with your voice. New favorite 😍.
Good lord I want this... I was hoping there would be a fanfic of this concept but all people were doing seemed to be writing Magnifico as a truly villainous character, potentially with his queen as she was in the deleted scenes as evil. Also... NGL "Now you try compete, with a GALAXY!" Hits, oh so hard!
i'd say, in this timeline she's taking a more lawful good approach, "i have to do something bad for the good? then so be it." thats what lawful good is all about
I hope you all enjoy!!! ❤️ Lydia did an amazing job on this song and I loved listening to it while adding the visuals!!
You did such a good job on the visuals. The ending was so good especially like it really added to the song
You have great talent, without a doubt!!! 😄👏
Кажется в её истории ничего не надо менять чтобы сделать из неё злодейку, она и так весьма эгоистичная и хотела исполнить изначально желания лишь своей семьи и если бы король не сошёл с ума, а желания людей (не были сценарно сделаны лишь положительными) её желания исполнить все обернулась кадастровой (смотрите фильм чудо женщина 1894)
Girl shut up
Чудо-женщина не самый известный пример. Брюс Всемогущий - классика.
Do you mean 1984?
@alarichrul6639 that is definitely a better example.
@@bestaround3323 Why can't I translate the comments now?
Asha was the real villain, the people knew what they were getting into. She complained that one person should not say whose wish gets granted but at the end she does just that.
ASHA AS THE VILLAIN AND MAGNIFICO AS THE PROTAGONIST would have made the movie so much better 😭 this is amazing!
I’m so exited! I can’t wait to see Asha’s Villain song! I’m sure it will be great just like every other villain song has! See everyone at the premiere!
Well have you watched it yet? And what did you think
In these three minutes were the difference between a 200 million flop, and successfully saving the disney brand.
“Asha understand, I am just a man.”
That hits so hard.
This seems like it should be canon. According to what I’ve heard, the movie’s“antagonist” is is going about things the right way, up until the book possesses him or something, and the “protagonist” is actively pursuing instant gratification. The second puss in boots movie also touches upon wishes, and it is shown that not all wishes have good consequences, regardless of people’s intentions. Anyways, nice song.
This animatic is way better than the whole movie
1000x better. Honestly ai could do better than the original movie.
NAH LYDIA IS PUTTING WISH’S SONG RIGHTERS TO SHAME
When this villain song is better than the actual “villain song” from the movie 🎧 🎶 🎧
Please make a sequel with a heroic version of this is the thanks I get. That would genuinely be amazing to see
Me to dude
@@ghost6836 same
I would love to see that
Yeah I agree 😊
There are two moments I absolutely adore in this song, which is at 2:43 and 2:51. At 2:43, Magnifico's line hits me hard cause yeah that's his whole thing in the movie, he's just a man trying his best and people kept taking advantage of his kindness and being ungrateful. And at 2:51 I just think Asha sounds so absolutely beautiful and threatening and you can really feel the evil book taking over her. Lydia and Alex did such an incredibly amazing job and this is such a delight to listen to!!
THE EMOTION IN THE LAST CORUS 😭
DUDE ITS LITERALLY SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL MOVIE
I love how their colours swapped in the daylight! Asha is now the green that was Magnifico’s when he turned evil and Magnifico is now the purple that Asha was when she was good. That is such a smart thing to do and I’m in love
Also, when you really think about it, Magnifico probably rushed up to his tower when he sensed the Book of Forbidden Magic being opened. And what's even scarier is that his showdown with Asha probably even takes place after he granted Simon's wish after Simon betrayed Asha. Amaya is probably already guilty by association in Asha's eyes, but Simon is more than likely in for so much worse than what Asha did to Magnifico and what she'll probably do to Amaya.
Why does this make more sense than the actual movie? Its beautiful and what I wished(ha-ha) that the movie had.
I wish more of these animations were complete, they're really good.❤❤❤
I really love King Magnifico’s Vocals. It adds the cherry on top of the cake.
*GAAAAAAAAASP!* OMG, this is a PERFECT alternate villain song for Asha, and I know many people already say this, but I see many people say that Asha was the main villain this whole time; which looking back now at the signs, I can understand it in the lyrics. (To have something more for us than this.) I am also a fan of the movie despite its noticeable flaws. Yes go on and criticize, but I’m sticking by my opinion.
Makes me wonder how this would turn the whole story around with Magnifico as the main protagonist, and possibly Asha’s friends, her grandfather Saba and her mother Sakina, and possibly even Queen Amaya along with added original character(s).
I would also imagine that Amaya could have been given the role Asha had in the film, but in a different perspective than Disney put it.
👇 If you agree or have an original idea/character in mind.
Privious villain songs: “what if every Disney princess had the same goal”
Asha’s villain song: “what if wish was better than across the spiderverse”
HELLO?? THAT DUET AT THE END IS SO COMPELLING???
DUDE IF THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE MOVIE, IT WOULDVE CHANGED EVERYTHING!!
Is nobody talking about how great the low register voice sounds?!
Asha is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve seen the movie and I personally love it tbh but this villain song is way better than Magnifico’s I could imagine Asha becoming the new evil queen or Ursula!😳 Asha tbh has every right to be a villain not only Magnifico didn’t grant her saba’s wish but also crush her mother’s wish and she also pressured magnifico into giving everyone’s wishes when he decides who deserves it. I knew he wasn’t the best newest Disney villain he was just trying to keep his reputation and just doesn’t want Asha to making the same move and mistake he did when his hometown was burning for him and his queen! I really love the fact that u got a male singer to voice and sing as him the duet at the end and his backstory gave me goosebumps😳 overall worth the waiting and best Christmas gift ever from you and another amazing job girl have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!👏🏼🎉❤️
Yes, not every wish would be good to grant, she does suit being a villain.
yeah. i've thought abt magnifico being a macbeth-ish tragic hero and you inspired me even more, thanks
This is what we wanted
An asha as the selfish villain
A magnificent like a tragic hero
Good video, you did the right thing. Lydia ❤🔥
I'm so badly agreed with this.
imagine a macbeth-ish magnifico
