YESSSS like Disney should make a part 2 which tells it from the king's perspective and then show Asha as a villain. And then the king retakes his rightful spot. That would be what I feel the best way to make it up.
Right??? Like imagine your wife turning on you over a talking mouse, a fucking disease carrying vermin. I'd understand if the rat was Stuart little or smt.
The rising of a shield hero… from the POV of the kings daughter. Everyone shunned and hated him for something he didn’t do, and no one had real proof of.
Bro, im lowkey mad they did that to the king and ESPECIALLY pissed at the wife. She had absolutely no love or loyalty to her man who had exactly that for her.
Yeah. In today's society people would love the king and not care about the wishes. I meen like, no racism, taxes, free housing. What more could you ask of????
Seriously. I could care less about my music/acting career of fantasy if I get to live in a society devoid of riots , discrimination, hunger , poverty and sickness. These people take all the great things in life for granted.
the real tragedy is that now the (former) king has to watch everything he built from the ground up crumble because of the selfishness and influence of a young girl, when all he was trying to do was to protect his kingdom. this movie is basically the villain origin story of magnifico
@@Playerano8isntcool Or make a wish 2 where it reveals that Asha is actually a villain, and, according to @anteaterborzoi..., can be from Magnifico POV. I swear Aasha should be the villan
Bad character traits: - saving your country - making the people live in prosperty - no war - no famine - no hatred to each other - responsible usage of power - selfless behaviour Good character traits: - being young - being selfish - misusage of said power - overthrow current goverment - kill or exile opposition. The sad part from all this is, that the king, the one that build that whole kingdom himself, is the one that never had his wish came true and is living banished in a wand. Meanwhile some old ass mid-life crisis grandpa plays songs on a gitar
@@TheMagicalFrogYT Right? He singlehandedly created a utopia where all races and creeds live in peace....and one whiny, petulant teenager destroyed it all. Also, Magnifico was technically not acting of his own accord once the book consumed him, so technically Disney is doing all this to a victim. Magnifico was possessed by the book, and instead of rescuing him, they frame him as just being evil.
@@WobblesandBean Speaking of "being possessed and turned evil", I saw another review said that it is a very good analogy of one suffering from addiction or mental illness, and many people in the comment section shared the same sentiment. And what did Wish show us? Instead of freeing the victim from the curse, they branded him unredeemable and banished him to some hidden, unreachable corner, while everyone live happily ever after like the king never existed. A great lesson to teach your kids, isn't it?
@Blurry-jc6mp people literally came to the kingdom on their own accord. They could literally just leave if they don't like it. There was 0 problem with the kingdom and it doesn't force you anything. Getting your wish taken was literally the only thing you had to pay and you'll live a comfy life like bruh
He's a hero, the movie flopped because everyone agrees with him and sides with him. like probably the greatest hero of all time since he made a literal utopia with no taxes, who does that?? Insane they banished a hero like him
honestly i kind of like King Magnifico’s character, he’s genuinely a good guy that doesn’t enforce taxes, somehow brought together a utopia of no racism or discrimination, yet the people question his competence, which makes him get angry (for a good reason) and the forbidden magic takes control of him as it seems that he has no other option.
Nowadays Disney tries to keep up with the "modern society" where the young people are characterized as stubborn, disobedient, selfish and gossiping as good independent people.
I heard that the king is supposed to represent God and Asha is the people. But they got it all wrong. God grants prayers or “wishes” based on if it will help us or if it’s what we need. But if it doesn’t then he won’t answer the prayer. And that’s what a lot of spoiled brats nowadays misses. And god doesn’t go out of his way to mess you up. Infact its the opposite.
The main character: that 1% of high school girls that everyone has to deal with The villian: respects his wife, respects his kingdom, made an amazing kingdom without slavery, racism, or taxes and rent, is almost as merciful as Jesus himself, gives people a choice for their wishes or not, never killed or harmed anyone even when he easily could with dark magic, and makes sure his people won’t die from some stupid wish. Who’s the eviler one?
Whether intentional or not, probably because if the King did represent God and Jesus, Disney assumes most of the audience to take Asha's side rebelling against a higher and respected authority.
@@Demiurge7th the difference being that the king actually exists and there is actual proof that the king did anything because the king didn't just put some rando on earth claiming to be his son and then never show his face at all for the next 2000 years, on top of the king not threatening people with eternal torture for the tiniest of things
like maybe not a good thing, just not detrimental please. like hero: "kids where mean to me so now I dislike children...and people" can be a story about someone forced to, thus learning to be, a dad (despicable me) vs hero:"kids where mean so I kill them now"...yeah, no.
Yep - and also, let the characters have virtues that outweigh their flaws! For example: Don Diego (Zorro) is sardonic, a showoff, and self-deprecating - but he's brave, heroic, selfless, openly kind, and willing to sacrifice his vanity (and well earned reputation) to protect people. Asha is.... er.... I mean, it looks like she's quite dedicated to her hairstyle... it takes a lot of patience to sit for braids..?
Exactly. Merida was also kind of a selfish character at the beginning of Brave and decided to run away and try to use magic to fix her problems. But by the end of the movie, she and her equally flawed mother begin to see eye to eye and Merida decides to face her problems head on and accepts responsibility for her actions. And her mother decides to let her daughter forge her own path. No one in Wish learns anything so what is even the point?
Exactly. To use other Disney examples, Aladdin steals food at the start, flees from the guards, and is shown to be a petty thief and criminal. But when he escapes, he gives the food to the beggar children he sees, rather than eating it himself. We see that despite flaws, he's a kind and caring person. Aerial is disrespectful to her father, but helps her friends and saves the prince from drowning.
Let's be honest, the King had to earn his own power and knows the consequences of it. He worked to make himself a kingdom and everyone there willingly gave their wish in the hopes of it being granted. Meanwhile Asha just got her powers for free and the kingdom is most likely gonna be doomed including every citizen.
Interesting thing the original plot was for Asha to be the king's bio daughter. The star was supposed to be a shape shifting boy who calls in love with the princess and the king and the queen were supposed to be evil together. We could have had a hero couple vs a villain couple but they scrapped it for this. Glad I never watched the film.
Sadly, It's so clear why they didn't want that... and why they decided to remove Asha's love interest and make the King bad and Queen good. such a shame.
@@loveladii69 umm, I meant it's clear coz it's so in-line with them wanting to express a message in their movie, the message that girls don't really need to have a romance and are strong and independent, it's been kinda their thing now, similar to their live action movies, and the upcoming snow white movie, which they removed the romance part of it and such. So yeah, it's another similar situation and similar change in direction sadly.
@@LuckyPed10 There are better ways to write them though. They have Merida, Elsa, Moana, half the women in Encanto. None of them were dependent on a OP wish-granting star to get things done. They are perfectly capable of writing an independent unpartnered female lead. They are also capable of writing an independent partnered female lead: Rapunzel, Anna. It's just bad writing and one of the reasons it feels like it was written by AI. It checks boxes: -strong, independent woman -conflict between current order and desire for freedom and individuality - evil villain with bad magic -diversity -surprise magic helper -animal companions -initial victory - mid-story setback and despair -Rally team - plot twist with second setback -villain defeated by song and/or unity -everyone is happy except villain All the boxes checked but it has an illogical flow and lacks nuance. The villain is the villain because the movie said so and the hero is the hero because the movie said so and the whole struggle is unrelatable because no one in real life hands over their dreams to one person, then wilfully forgets about it but also hopes to have it handed to them for free. If you're denied your dreams in real life, it's usually institutional, not one bad guy. Even the evil magic is evil is only evil because the movie said so. What really changed? He glowed green and destroyed wishes, which he should have been doing already (like what if someone wished to lay with children, that wish should not be left lying around) .
To be honest they forced the king to look like a bad guy since his story is about hid home being destroyed and he made a kingdom that we would probably want like no taxes but everyone wants wishes and thats it and the king is just concerned if the wish is safe or not and since people underestimate him, he try to make himself stronger untill a book made him evil actually no ASHA MADE HIM LIKE THIS BECAUSE ALL SHE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IS WISHES! Man Disney is falling off badly. 😔
7:50 This was my third favourite moment in the movie. My interpretation is that the wish was to be the greatest MOST LOYAL knight. His loyality to the king is why he sells out his friends. In my reading it is a quick and clever set up and pay off. The evidence to yhe contrary is that the evil green magic hurts Simon instead of the normal wish granting magic
“Magic is forbidden for anyone to use besides the king.” …They… They could have just used that to make him evil. Have Asha or one of her friends be someone born with magic or something and utterly terrified of the “well loved” king. That would have easily made it a ‘too good to be true’ utopia.
@@enderreaper1482 it's not unreasonable by any means. He made this country town village thing, he gave them a great life, the best actually, and the wishes are a nice little bonus, I see 0 problems with that. Wtf is wrong with these people?!
the tragedy of king magnifico is a movie of how a kind man who yearned to protect a society and give people a chance to make dreams come true and also making sure no one suffers over broken dreams has his utopis turned upside down by some random girl who thought she could destroy a system that had kept everyone happy for a long time due to freedom of choice and lack of other societal issues in this essay i will
I seriously hope there is a sequel where the kingdom has turned into a hellhole tyrannie at the whim of Asha, and some rebels help Magnifico get back and neutralize her. And his traitorous wife is banned for how many years he spent in the dungeon.
The fact that Asha had to say "Magnifico is evil" shows how bad the film is. If the villain is truly evil, then there is no need to say that he is evil. And no one had any problems and suddenly everyone is listening to a girl who hasn't done anything for them. And why does the film make it seem like you have to have desires? Yes, when wishes are not fulfilled, you feel sad. But people don't even remember what their wish was. And except for the one friend, no one seemed unhappy. If you don't feel any desire, then you are not unhappy, it can also mean that you are satisfied with your life. And if the king grants 14 wishes in one year, then it should be clear to everyone that not every wish will be fulfilled. And Asha wants to know who gives Magnifico the right to do this. Everyone gave him the right and accepted him as king. The movie was good until her conversation with Magnifico was over. The only thing the movie portrayed well is that when we make a mistake, many people forget all the good deeds.
The king: "I build the kingdom, let you all live in peace, grant wishes that has actual benefits and has minimal consequence, protect you from danger" Asha (with Mermaidman voice): "EEEEVIIIILLLL"
The old Disney Villains SHOWED their evil actions, we weren't TOLD they were. Ursula made a deal with an emotionally wrecked Ariel and took her voice. Later on, she sabotaged their kiss and disguises herself as a woman named Vanessa in order to hypnotize Eric and make him marry her so she could rule the seas. Jafar tried to become ruler by finding a magic lamp, but when it failed, he found an alternative and tried to make Jasmine's father force Jasmine to marry him. When Aladdin came into the picture, he had henchmen try to drown him, and when the lamp came back, he used it to grant his wish. The Evil Queen was vain and wanted to kill Snow White in order to be the fairest once more. She tried to make the hunter kill her, but he was merciful and gave her a heart of a pig. When she found out, she made a potion to disguise herself (which I'm pretty sure it wore off, because I don't think she would drink it if it didn't wear off) and made a poison apple. She managed to trick Snow White into eating it. Scar wanted to become king, so he killed his brother and manipulated Simba into thinking he did it, and ran him off. Mother Gothel kidnapped baby Rapunzel, manipulated, lied, and used her for her hair, and made her think she was protecting her when she really wanted youth and had Rapunzel all to herself. When Rapunzel was gone, she made a deal with the two thieves Eugene was with and betrayed them in order to get her back. I could list more, but you get my point. Magnifico had done nothing wrong, Asha just said he was evil because the little brat couldn't take no for an answer and got upset when he said not every wish was granted. Magnifico was only doing what was best for the kingdom and only became evil because of a magic book. Asha got him imprisoned (Like when Wednesday got Xavier jailed when he didn't do anything wrong) when he hasn't harmed anybody or do anything that was wrong to anyone else.
6:40 So, the king discovers that Asha is the traitor and instead of imprisoning her or her family or having them executed or anything, he just crushes a wish ball and Asha's reaction is to try to murder him?? wth, Disney?
@@concept5631i was literally watching the movie and was completely dying inside, on how everything was basically ruined because of the mc, like seriously the king LITERALLY says to her the reason that yknow... He can't grant the wish because it might cause a chain of events but she's still like "erm that won't happen"
@@lightningjadejavierNO! I need my wants. Who cares if someone wishes to murder someone’s mom. It’s not my mom so IDC. Everyone should get their wishes. (Sarcasm)
@@LillyRoss41 plus, what happens if to persons make a wish that one can't happen if the other does too? For example: "I want that nothing bad happens to (insert group of people/person/etc)" "I want the worst for (insert group of people/person/etc)" How do you pull that one off? (Idk if I wrote that right I'm spanish)
King: *Have a perfectly reasonable concerns about granting anybody wishes that could be very powerful* Asha: I don't care about logic, I want wishes now Honestly I feel like common people here are more evil than the king, they know their wish might not be granted yet they still get disappointed. Honestly I would be just happy to live there I wouldn't even care my wish won't be granted
Everyone was perfectly happy until the spoiled brat Asha came in and try to grant everyone's wishes when most of them CAN ACHIEVE IT THEMSELVES and they had NO problem with it.
It’s like so dumb because they all chose on their own accord to give their wishes. They knew that after giving it they would forget and everyone had no problem with that because technically it means that they would lead normal happy lives without having to think about the ordeal until maybe Magnifico granted it
Oh my God. I’m SO glad I wasn’t the only one who realized that, “Wait, wasn’t everything in that kingdom already okay until Asha decided to provoke and steal from the king?”
Bro All the king wanted was just a little respect He let the people live for rent free He built a magnificent kingdom Always listened and never actually raised his hand towards his wife
Tbh its like a refrence between God and human. The king is the god and asha is like adam and eve who rebeled even though they were given freedom or something like that, (its just my opinion though. I just thought its like that)
Bro actually established a society where poverty, racism and hunger not a thing and even grants wish for it's subjects for a free and all he get in return is a shinning and hate. Only thing I get from this movie is bad people always gets rewarded.
@@pr3ttytackyNot always, pick mes can just be the way they are also because they got too much validation from their parents and can be annoying and spoiled as well.
Im disappointed that Asha doesn’t have much of a backstory, backstories are basically the key to a good character. Edit: I meant asha should have more of a character, i’m not saying all characters need a backstory
Yeah but at the same time backstoriee could be so trash as I got backshots in prison and died due to ligma so now I'm reincarnated into a world full black people and I'm the only white person
The kingdom is going to crumble, everyone's going to start tearing one another apart and there goes the utopia King Magnifico had worked so hard to create.
He locked the memories of their deepest wishes that could potentially motivate them to pursue their dreams. If you take the "dreams" away, you're not left with peaceful people. You're left with complacent ones.
The thing about people feeling empty when giving away their wish makes no sense to me. It makes no sense that once you give away your wish and forget it you wouldn't develop another, that's just human nature. To me it's like you give your Plan A to the king and you still get to pursue your Plan B by yourself. That the giving the wishes is purely optional only makes it look like a good deal and the king more reasonable.
Let me get this straight, why would people want a king to magically make them a good singer/orator when they themselves aren't putting the work in ? And if their wish is so flimsy that they're cool with not devoting their lives towards it (before giving it away) or they don't exactly develop more when they get that wish back , why do they care about them that much ? As if all the struggles in life are worth it .
@@subratanandy2142ikr, like the girl with the “knitting dresses” wish still has to practice. Sowing/knitting is not easy, especially in a medieval period.
Monsters University did a good job at addressing how to deal with failing and losing your dream. Mike wanted to be a scarer but was not cut out for it. After struggling for a while, he accepted it would never happen and became a coach/support for Sulley. The moral was "when you fail, pick yourself up and try something different" I feel that movies like Wish do a bad job at addressing dreams as they never address what happens when they never come true
In this movie the people literally overthrew their king because they played a lottery ticket (giving their wish) and then get sad they didnt win, when they all know that not everyone gets their wishes? How is the king the villain?? For doing things for his country??
Isn't King Magnifico doing the right thing though...? Someone could have a very selfish or bad wish that'll impact others negatively, and result in consequences. But the king still grants wishes for people and built a safe kingdom. But of course Asha had to ruin it 💀
I think the writer forgot to add braincell for everyone in the kingdom because what I just saw is a the begining of the kingdom's downfall. I mean seriously, if Asha says that every wishes should be grant and someone in the kingdom wish for something that result in mass destruction, she'll grant it and they all die. "THE END"
@@alvinvalentino5797Even if the wish isnt malicious it will break balance imagine everyone wanting to be an astranout ,a doctor or painter or president then who the fuck gonna build the hospitals for the doctor, repair the stuff, make the materials for painting,work in offices or how are we gonna use that much president? What about two person want to surpass each other which gonna surpass the other? One more thing people who does nothing but only wish things will become lazy unmotivated and ungrateful. You can actually get depressed from getting everything you like it changes your brain chemicals thats why spoiled children are so problematic their problem is not just psychological also pyshiological.
The entire time we watch this movie, my friend and I wondered why anyone was listening to a teenager when the King was clearly a reasonable adult-and then he’s sentenced to the dungeon FOREVER. We were so shocked at how harsh that was.
Yeah like the guy didnt hurt a single soul despite having authority to do and still got full life prison. Like wtf are we supposed to put this guy with the same level as serial killers?
It feels like Asha actually caused the entire reason that Magnifico became a "villain" (in quotes because he did nothing wrong until he touched the book and was then possessed by evil magic, so in reality the evil magic was the villain). The fact that he developed his wish magic himself, founded his kingdom himself, only had citizens that were there voluntarily, all of which seem well-fed, clothed, employed, housed and happy while Asha gets given Deus Ex Machina wish magic because she's the protag is just ridiculous to me. Worst part is that they could've easily justified the story if they wanted to by showing him being evil or oppressive BEFORE the magic took him. A magic he only touched because Asha threatened everything he built. All it would've taken is some monologue or a few seconds where we see him consuming a wish for power or a scene where people not handing over their wish are exiled, jailed or even just treated badly. Maybe a scene where he grants wishes only selectively, giving them to friends and allies but leaving the others to languish because his magic has limits. Those are just off the top of my head, there are probably dozens of ways they could have established him as evil instead of as an altruist with trauma from a past tragedy. Asha, meanwhile, deserves none of the things she gets. She grew up sheltered and protected in his kingdom, was THIS close to becoming his apprentice, has no idea how wish magic works or what makes a wish dangerous and flips her lid because the king won't give her nepotism on her INTERVIEW. She's not even working for him at that point! Ridiculous.
I bet the whole kingdom will burn to ash once ashe become the ruler, she have no experience, no wisdom, and she clearly will be a selfish ruler and a dictator
A big flaw you missed is that the king had to earn his powers and through doing so learn of their potential consequences when used wrong. Meanwhile, Asha just wishes on a star and gets the same powers as him instantly.
Seriously, how do you manage to make the protag so annoying and just down right entitled when she's living in such a great place. No tax, no famine, and free rent. Do you know how many people around the world would love to live in this kind of kingdom? Especially with how a lot of us are struggling to make ends meet. Asha is definitely one of those privilege kids that didn't have to struggle to survive, took everything good for granted, and felt entitled to force her ideals on others, even if it means destroying a kingdom to get what she wants. Truly a villain.
The problem is that Disney made the movie to support propagandas rather than to tell a story, the whole point of this movie is to teach kids how to rebel against the system, even if that system is good, and it teaches them that they shouldn't listen to adults, even if they know better, and in relationships, if your partner had one bad day, throw him away instead of sympathizing with that partner or talking to him, what the hell Disney?
Fun fact: The star was supposed to be a handsome prince that would fall in love with Asha(but Disney scratched it cuz they hate romance now) and the Queen was also originally supposed to be evil so we were gonna get a villain couple and a more powerful villain song (but of course they scratched it) so we not only got robbed with the luma ripoff but also with a weak villain with a bad villain song 😭
Remember when villains were scary Ursula turned trident into a lifeless skinny ass worm Jafar straight up drowned Aladdin The evil queen literally poisoned snow. Like when they said they gon make you pay, they meant it. And wht does this king do? Zap and make them groan🤦
Asha was honestly the worst movie protagonist I've ever seen. The fact that the "Villain" was more likable, relatable and selfless than the main character is sad. Disney has really gone downhill.
The message: Mean old white man won't allow people to follow their dreams, and young empathetic heroine saves the kingdom. Reality: Spoiled, entitled, and obnoxious teenager who has everything going well for them and society wants everyone to get exactly what they want and damn the consequences. It's woke Twitter, the movie.
lemme tell you how EASILY you could’ve made the king unlikeable. You could’ve - made him force people to give away their wishes - hate his wife - plan to manipulate Asha so she leaves her family to work and give away her wish without fighting back - change his backstory so that the reason he created the utopia was because he planned to eventually sacrifice them all to be more powerful. - make him snap at people for no reason - make him grant wishes that only benefit him and his image AND BOOM.
apparently there people in the industry who anonymously claimed that this movie was actually going to be good as a tribute to 100 years of disney .but then the people working on it originally where fired and replaced by inexperienced people to cut costs.
Ive also heard they had like 50 hr workweeks, and got the movie done completely in I think it was 6 months? Whereas Disney films usually take at least a year to make. (Been a bit since i saw the video that was mentioned in, ill edit if I'm wrong about numbers, but its still a nightmare work environment, especially for creatives)
This is a real red flag for the movie. Both Disney animation studio and Pixar took years to master rendering technique and physics. And when the level reached master it is not easy to make entire movie in a year. Not only all physics need to be corrected, new techniques need to be applied carefully with old ones but also they need a close contact with CGI outsource team so the final products are perfect (they are those who constructed and render screens and minor details for each frame, thus the studio can concentrated their work to the main details. In Vietnam there are one professional studio do this for all legendary anime and even God of War). At this scale 6 months are not even enough for the CGI Outsource team to finished their work.
I mean they hired crapper lyrics writers. The songs were so damn bad. Compared to ones I've rather listen to. Mulan when she's preparing to leave her home and family. Anastasia. Shrek. Frozen. And plenty of other movies
it honestly wouldve been a nicer movie if the moral was something like ‘you can make your own wish come true instead of depending on someone else for it’ or ‘be careful for what you wish for’ but no, it went with the ‘break several laws, target a caring king that literally built the whole kingdom and makes your wishes come true, and mess with magic that doesnt even belong to you in order to get what you want’
Wow I've seen people say how it feels that Wish was written by an AI and this breakdown just makes me even more suspicious that it was. So many conveniences, so much plot armor, and so little actual development that any professional writer would note in red in the first draft.
Imagine blaming ai when Disney has been ruining all their IP in the guise of inclusion. Hiring people based on skin. Nothing but bad writers at Disney stop blaming AI. You can point at 1000 other stupid things modern vid corps do. Imagine blaming ai when ai has NOTHING to do with it. dumbasfk
I wonder if Asha could genuinely start out as a flawed character. Like she’s portrayed to be flawed. Asha finds out that King Magnifico doesn’t grant the wishes because of some of them being worse for the kingdom, which leaves her to try and take action. But instead of the story trying to portray Asha as in the right, she’s portrayed as in the wrong. She takes action against King Magnifico and wishes upon the star, but the star turned out to be dangerous and the kingdom is now going to be destroyed or some other thing. King Magnifico finds out and Asha realizes she was wrong the whole time, and to make it up to King Magnifico she wants to stop the star. The king helps her, accepts her apology, and yeah. Idk if it’s even good, just a random thought I had
Has actual character development✅ The character face their consequences of their action✅ Not forcing the antag so much to be a villian in the first place✅ I say it much better
@@Kaelronpa4299 yeah, they seemed like they were really confused on what direction King Magnifico should go. They should have just stuck to him being a misunderstood villain bcs imo it fits him better
9:57 when I was watching this movie with my grandma I was super confused on how everyone in Rosa knew the lyrics to the song if they were never around her Also singing in order to get your wishes back as the climax of the movie? Really Disney?.. no fighting? I LOVE THIS MOVIE BUT THAT'S CONFUSING AS HELL
The only thing this movie showed is that you can do everything right in the world and still be called evil. RIP King Magnifico. You were a great, wonderful, and benevolent king.
You know, Magnifico being the villain and the whole 'wishes belong to EVERYONE' theme would have worked a lot better had Magnifico been using a captured star to steal its' power to use for wish granting.
I've seen many good ideas for how this movie should have run. But have to admit that this is the best I've seen so far as being the most appropriate for Disney's wish upon a star 100th anniversary. 👍 The ending scene would be the star being set free and flying over the castle. Edit: the star being trapped meant that even with a lot of hard work, no one could fulfill their dreams without Magnifico's help. The artist couldn't draw well, the musician could only aspire to mediocre playing. There would have to be some price to be paid to him - not sure what, would have to think about it more. lol.

Bro, the old concept of Wish was cool. Instead of 1 actual "villain", there could have been 2 villain : the queen and king. Making it one of the rare movies in Disney where a married couple are the antagonists. And instead of the star, they drew a star boy/magical boy. I think that could have been a fresh male character that isn't a prince saving the princess, but instead, he was a protagonist helping the "princess". In my opinion boys would have liked a new type of male character in a "princess movie". I would have liked it🤷♂️ But no, Disney made another movie for themselves and not for the audience
One thing I could not understand is how ungratefull everyone is. Even if your wish never gets granted, you still live in a utopia where there is no crime, no hate, no taxes, no danger, all made possible by one man.
King: *Creates utopia where everyone is equal and everything is perfect * Asha: ‘You know those wishes they gave you willingly? They don’t belong to you and should all be granted even if they possibly ruin everything’
Why watch the entire movie when this gentleman can explain it less than an hour
And good commentary
Amen

exactly im not bothering

Asha is quite literally a villain. We get the perspective. Of a movie. From the villain.
Would’ve been a better movie if they presented her as a villain imo
Literally Death Note if the writer wasn't self-aware
YESSSS like Disney should make a part 2 which tells it from the king's perspective and then show Asha as a villain. And then the king retakes his rightful spot. That would be what I feel the best way to make it up.

Yeah.
In today's society people would love the king and not care about the wishes. I meen like, no racism, taxes, free housing. What more could you ask of????
Seriously. I could care less about my music/acting career of fantasy if I get to live in a society devoid of riots , discrimination, hunger , poverty and sickness. These people take all the great things in life for granted.

- saving your country
- making the people live in prosperty
- no war
- no famine
- no hatred to each other
- responsible usage of power
- selfless behaviour
Good character traits:
- being young
- being selfish
- misusage of said power
- overthrow current goverment
- kill or exile opposition.
The sad part from all this is, that the king, the one that build that whole kingdom himself, is the one that never had his wish came true and is living banished in a wand. Meanwhile some old ass mid-life crisis grandpa plays songs on a gitar
Wish is literally a tragedy if u watch it from the kings pov
RIP King Magnefical. He's such a good king .
I wish the King killed Asha, he was clearly op even without the wand
@@TheMagicalFrogYT Right? He singlehandedly created a utopia where all races and creeds live in peace....and one whiny, petulant teenager destroyed it all.
Also, Magnifico was technically not acting of his own accord once the book consumed him, so technically Disney is doing all this to a victim. Magnifico was possessed by the book, and instead of rescuing him, they frame him as just being evil.
@@WobblesandBean Speaking of "being possessed and turned evil", I saw another review said that it is a very good analogy of one suffering from addiction or mental illness, and many people in the comment section shared the same sentiment.
And what did Wish show us? Instead of freeing the victim from the curse, they branded him unredeemable and banished him to some hidden, unreachable corner, while everyone live happily ever after like the king never existed.
A great lesson to teach your kids, isn't it?
@Blurry-jc6mp people literally came to the kingdom on their own accord. They could literally just leave if they don't like it. There was 0 problem with the kingdom and it doesn't force you anything. Getting your wish taken was literally the only thing you had to pay and you'll live a comfy life like bruh
damn, i was rooting for the king, didn't think he was the villain until you told me and still wanted the king to win
Even after I was told he was the villain I still was like: KING, TAKE THE DUB PLEASE

He's a hero, the movie flopped because everyone agrees with him and sides with him. like probably the greatest hero of all time since he made a literal utopia with no taxes, who does that?? Insane they banished a hero like him
Im convinced this movie was made by feminists.
The Happy Ending is literally just replacing a wish granter with another far less expirienced, knowledgeable and emotionally stable wish granter
Hey we all know that females can do no evil right?
Who makes shit larger on accident because she's a quirky clumsy silly girl LMAO
honestly i kind of like King Magnifico’s character, he’s genuinely a good guy that doesn’t enforce taxes, somehow brought together a utopia of no racism or discrimination, yet the people question his competence, which makes him get angry (for a good reason) and the forbidden magic takes control of him as it seems that he has no other option.
Nowadays Disney tries to keep up with the "modern society" where the young people are characterized as stubborn, disobedient, selfish and gossiping as good independent people.
That's sad and only Allah knows what will happen, these movies gonna ruin kids
I heard that the king is supposed to represent God and Asha is the people. But they got it all wrong. God grants prayers or “wishes” based on if it will help us or if it’s what we need. But if it doesn’t then he won’t answer the prayer. And that’s what a lot of spoiled brats nowadays misses. And god doesn’t go out of his way to mess you up. Infact its the opposite.

Most of the time yes, this applies to most teens but not all, some are very mature enough to be in charge
As another teenager, I agree as well.
Too true coming from a teen 💀💀
"How to Turn a Good Man Bad" is definitely the subtitle.
Thats by far the most realistic disney movie where the villain wins and hero loses. Poor king deserved better
The main character: that 1% of high school girls that everyone has to deal with
The villian: respects his wife, respects his kingdom, made an amazing kingdom without slavery, racism, or taxes and rent, is almost as merciful as Jesus himself, gives people a choice for their wishes or not, never killed or harmed anyone even when he easily could with dark magic, and makes sure his people won’t die from some stupid wish.
Who’s the eviler one?
Disney: It’s the king definitely
If I were a character in that movie, I'd tell Asha to shut up and how everyone is perfectly fine with what they already have.
Yes, that obnoxious, entitled 1% of teen girls is right
Whether intentional or not, probably because if the King did represent God and Jesus, Disney assumes most of the audience to take Asha's side rebelling against a higher and respected authority.
@@Demiurge7th the difference being that the king actually exists and there is actual proof that the king did anything because the king didn't just put some rando on earth claiming to be his son and then never show his face at all for the next 2000 years, on top of the king not threatening people with eternal torture for the tiniest of things
I don’t think the issue is having a flawed protagonist, it’s presenting the flaws as a good thing that’s the problem
like maybe not a good thing, just not detrimental please.
like hero: "kids where mean to me so now I dislike children...and people" can be a story about someone forced to, thus learning to be, a dad (despicable me)
vs hero:"kids where mean so I kill them now"...yeah, no.
Yep - and also, let the characters have virtues that outweigh their flaws! For example: Don Diego (Zorro) is sardonic, a showoff, and self-deprecating - but he's brave, heroic, selfless, openly kind, and willing to sacrifice his vanity (and well earned reputation) to protect people.
Asha is.... er.... I mean, it looks like she's quite dedicated to her hairstyle... it takes a lot of patience to sit for braids..?
@@nala7829 Nah, anyone can sit for braids, they only take a couple of hours. 😂
Exactly. Merida was also kind of a selfish character at the beginning of Brave and decided to run away and try to use magic to fix her problems. But by the end of the movie, she and her equally flawed mother begin to see eye to eye and Merida decides to face her problems head on and accepts responsibility for her actions. And her mother decides to let her daughter forge her own path. No one in Wish learns anything so what is even the point?
Exactly. To use other Disney examples, Aladdin steals food at the start, flees from the guards, and is shown to be a petty thief and criminal. But when he escapes, he gives the food to the beggar children he sees, rather than eating it himself. We see that despite flaws, he's a kind and caring person. Aerial is disrespectful to her father, but helps her friends and saves the prince from drowning.
6:21 LMAO THIS PART IS SO FUNNY
Let's be honest, the King had to earn his own power and knows the consequences of it. He worked to make himself a kingdom and everyone there willingly gave their wish in the hopes of it being granted.
Meanwhile Asha just got her powers for free and the kingdom is most likely gonna be doomed including every citizen.
Which is happening in society now honestly
Interesting thing the original plot was for Asha to be the king's bio daughter. The star was supposed to be a shape shifting boy who calls in love with the princess and the king and the queen were supposed to be evil together.
We could have had a hero couple vs a villain couple but they scrapped it for this. Glad I never watched the film.
Sadly, It's so clear why they didn't want that... and why they decided to remove Asha's love interest and make the King bad and Queen good. such a shame.
@@LuckyPed10I haven't watch the movie why it clear? Idc about spoiler
They probably should of kept the original plot
@@loveladii69 umm, I meant it's clear coz it's so in-line with them wanting to express a message in their movie, the message that girls don't really need to have a romance and are strong and independent, it's been kinda their thing now, similar to their live action movies, and the upcoming snow white movie, which they removed the romance part of it and such.
So yeah, it's another similar situation and similar change in direction sadly.
@@LuckyPed10 There are better ways to write them though. They have Merida, Elsa, Moana, half the women in Encanto. None of them were dependent on a OP wish-granting star to get things done. They are perfectly capable of writing an independent unpartnered female lead. They are also capable of writing an independent partnered female lead: Rapunzel, Anna. It's just bad writing and one of the reasons it feels like it was written by AI. It checks boxes:
-strong, independent woman
-conflict between current order and desire for freedom and individuality
- evil villain with bad magic
-diversity
-surprise magic helper
-animal companions
-initial victory
- mid-story setback and despair
-Rally team
- plot twist with second setback
-villain defeated by song and/or unity
-everyone is happy except villain
All the boxes checked but it has an illogical flow and lacks nuance. The villain is the villain because the movie said so and the hero is the hero because the movie said so and the whole struggle is unrelatable because no one in real life hands over their dreams to one person, then wilfully forgets about it but also hopes to have it handed to them for free. If you're denied your dreams in real life, it's usually institutional, not one bad guy. Even the evil magic is evil is only evil because the movie said so. What really changed? He glowed green and destroyed wishes, which he should have been doing already (like what if someone wished to lay with children, that wish should not be left lying around) .
I can imagne him recaping Hotel Transylvania and roasting the shit out of the characters.
😂😂
Yeah, I genuinely want to see him cover that movie! 🤣
Yeah i agree
Are you listening, KC??
@Korean Comic
To be honest they forced the king to look like a bad guy since his story is about hid home being destroyed and he made a kingdom that we would probably want like no taxes but everyone wants wishes and thats it and the king is just concerned if the wish is safe or not and since people underestimate him, he try to make himself stronger untill a book made him evil actually no ASHA MADE HIM LIKE THIS BECAUSE ALL SHE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IS WISHES! Man Disney is falling off badly. 😔
7:50
This was my third favourite moment in the movie.
My interpretation is that the wish was to be the greatest MOST LOYAL knight. His loyality to the king is why he sells out his friends. In my reading it is a quick and clever set up and pay off. The evidence to yhe contrary is that the evil green magic hurts Simon instead of the normal wish granting magic

it's true
“Magic is forbidden for anyone to use besides the king.”
…They… They could have just used that to make him evil. Have Asha or one of her friends be someone born with magic or something and utterly terrified of the “well loved” king. That would have easily made it a ‘too good to be true’ utopia.
Exactly 💯

I seriously hope there is a sequel where the kingdom has turned into a hellhole tyrannie at the whim of Asha, and some rebels help Magnifico get back and neutralize her. And his traitorous wife is banned for how many years he spent in the dungeon.
“And as time goes on Asha’s grandad inspired ice spice to shake ass” is definitely the funniest line😂😂
The fact that Asha had to say "Magnifico is evil" shows how bad the film is. If the villain is truly evil, then there is no need to say that he is evil. And no one had any problems and suddenly everyone is listening to a girl who hasn't done anything for them. And why does the film make it seem like you have to have desires? Yes, when wishes are not fulfilled, you feel sad. But people don't even remember what their wish was. And except for the one friend, no one seemed unhappy. If you don't feel any desire, then you are not unhappy, it can also mean that you are satisfied with your life. And if the king grants 14 wishes in one year, then it should be clear to everyone that not every wish will be fulfilled. And Asha wants to know who gives Magnifico the right to do this. Everyone gave him the right and accepted him as king. The movie was good until her conversation with Magnifico was over. The only thing the movie portrayed well is that when we make a mistake, many people forget all the good deeds.
The king: "I build the kingdom, let you all live in peace, grant wishes that has actual benefits and has minimal consequence, protect you from danger"
Asha (with Mermaidman voice): "EEEEVIIIILLLL"
The movie had to remind you who the "bad" guy was just in case the audience had an original thought opposite of its message.
@@raymondsmith2040they knew how much of a bullshit asha is and had to "force" the audience to recognize him as the bad guy
damn not you giving the full breakdown and serving it
The old Disney Villains SHOWED their evil actions, we weren't TOLD they were.
Ursula made a deal with an emotionally wrecked Ariel and took her voice. Later on, she sabotaged their kiss and disguises herself as a woman named Vanessa in order to hypnotize Eric and make him marry her so she could rule the seas.
Jafar tried to become ruler by finding a magic lamp, but when it failed, he found an alternative and tried to make Jasmine's father force Jasmine to marry him. When Aladdin came into the picture, he had henchmen try to drown him, and when the lamp came back, he used it to grant his wish.
The Evil Queen was vain and wanted to kill Snow White in order to be the fairest once more. She tried to make the hunter kill her, but he was merciful and gave her a heart of a pig. When she found out, she made a potion to disguise herself (which I'm pretty sure it wore off, because I don't think she would drink it if it didn't wear off) and made a poison apple. She managed to trick Snow White into eating it.
Scar wanted to become king, so he killed his brother and manipulated Simba into thinking he did it, and ran him off.
Mother Gothel kidnapped baby Rapunzel, manipulated, lied, and used her for her hair, and made her think she was protecting her when she really wanted youth and had Rapunzel all to herself. When Rapunzel was gone, she made a deal with the two thieves Eugene was with and betrayed them in order to get her back.
I could list more, but you get my point. Magnifico had done nothing wrong, Asha just said he was evil because the little brat couldn't take no for an answer and got upset when he said not every wish was granted. Magnifico was only doing what was best for the kingdom and only became evil because of a magic book. Asha got him imprisoned (Like when Wednesday got Xavier jailed when he didn't do anything wrong) when he hasn't harmed anybody or do anything that was wrong to anyone else.
6:40 So, the king discovers that Asha is the traitor and instead of imprisoning her or her family or having them executed or anything, he just crushes a wish ball and Asha's reaction is to try to murder him?? wth, Disney?
King sounds like a pretty swell guy all things considered.

King: *Have a perfectly reasonable concerns about granting anybody wishes that could be very powerful*

asha has the mentality of a child
Just like in real life, like
a lottery ticket
Like bro just don’t gamble-
Rip the king
Everyone was perfectly happy until the spoiled brat Asha came in and try to grant everyone's wishes when most of them CAN ACHIEVE IT THEMSELVES and they had NO problem with it.
Like they always say, "you can't satisfy people".
It’s like so dumb because they all chose on their own accord to give their wishes. They knew that after giving it they would forget and everyone had no problem with that because technically it means that they would lead normal happy lives without having to think about the ordeal until maybe Magnifico granted it
When they said that there would be a traditional Disney villain in this movie, they were talking about Asha.

@@user-ph4nj1ds3n why did they bother saying their wishes? like all of those wish is so easy to get you dont need to wish them
The thing about people feeling empty when giving away their wish makes no sense to me. It makes no sense that once you give away your wish and forget it you wouldn't develop another, that's just human nature. To me it's like you give your Plan A to the king and you still get to pursue your Plan B by yourself. That the giving the wishes is purely optional only makes it look like a good deal and the king more reasonable.
best I can view what the movie do with it as crushing a wish being akin to feeling like a parent say "no, I won't buy x thing for you"
Let me get this straight, why would people want a king to magically make them a good singer/orator when they themselves aren't putting the work in ? And if their wish is so flimsy that they're cool with not devoting their lives towards it (before giving it away) or they don't exactly develop more when they get that wish back , why do they care about them that much ? As if all the struggles in life are worth it .
@@subratanandy2142ikr, like the girl with the “knitting dresses” wish still has to practice. Sowing/knitting is not easy, especially in a medieval period.
It’s just real life. Everyone has to realize sometimes their dream of being a King/Queen or an Astronaut will just not happen.
Monsters University did a good job at addressing how to deal with failing and losing your dream. Mike wanted to be a scarer but was not cut out for it. After struggling for a while, he accepted it would never happen and became a coach/support for Sulley. The moral was "when you fail, pick yourself up and try something different"
I feel that movies like Wish do a bad job at addressing dreams as they never address what happens when they never come true

Isn't King Magnifico doing the right thing though...? Someone could have a very selfish or bad wish that'll impact others negatively, and result in consequences. But the king still grants wishes for people and built a safe kingdom.
But of course Asha had to ruin it 💀
I think the writer forgot to add braincell for everyone in the kingdom because what I just saw is a the begining of the kingdom's downfall.
I mean seriously, if Asha says that every wishes should be grant and someone in the kingdom wish for something that result in mass destruction, she'll grant it and they all die. "THE END"

Yeah like the guy didnt hurt a single soul despite having authority to do and still got full life prison. Like wtf are we supposed to put this guy with the same level as serial killers?
I’m miffed at his wife. What a wretched harpy she is for betraying him
Amaya: "Erm this is the thanks you deserve 🤓☝️" like I wanna slap her so bad
It feels like Asha actually caused the entire reason that Magnifico became a "villain" (in quotes because he did nothing wrong until he touched the book and was then possessed by evil magic, so in reality the evil magic was the villain).
The fact that he developed his wish magic himself, founded his kingdom himself, only had citizens that were there voluntarily, all of which seem well-fed, clothed, employed, housed and happy while Asha gets given Deus Ex Machina wish magic because she's the protag is just ridiculous to me.
Worst part is that they could've easily justified the story if they wanted to by showing him being evil or oppressive BEFORE the magic took him. A magic he only touched because Asha threatened everything he built.
All it would've taken is some monologue or a few seconds where we see him consuming a wish for power or a scene where people not handing over their wish are exiled, jailed or even just treated badly.
Maybe a scene where he grants wishes only selectively, giving them to friends and allies but leaving the others to languish because his magic has limits.
Those are just off the top of my head, there are probably dozens of ways they could have established him as evil instead of as an altruist with trauma from a past tragedy.
Asha, meanwhile, deserves none of the things she gets. She grew up sheltered and protected in his kingdom, was THIS close to becoming his apprentice, has no idea how wish magic works or what makes a wish dangerous and flips her lid because the king won't give her nepotism on her INTERVIEW.
She's not even working for him at that point!
Ridiculous.
I bet the whole kingdom will burn to ash once ashe become the ruler, she have no experience, no wisdom, and she clearly will be a selfish ruler and a dictator

A big flaw you missed is that the king had to earn his powers and through doing so learn of their potential consequences when used wrong. Meanwhile, Asha just wishes on a star and gets the same powers as him instantly.
ur xo kitty commentary was sooo good 😂 i love how ur still doing these please keep doing it!!!
Seriously, how do you manage to make the protag so annoying and just down right entitled when she's living in such a great place. No tax, no famine, and free rent. Do you know how many people around the world would love to live in this kind of kingdom? Especially with how a lot of us are struggling to make ends meet. Asha is definitely one of those privilege kids that didn't have to struggle to survive, took everything good for granted, and felt entitled to force her ideals on others, even if it means destroying a kingdom to get what she wants. Truly a villain.
Fr. This is the equivalent of a rich child freaking out if their parents said no over one thing💀
The problem is that Disney made the movie to support propagandas rather than to tell a story, the whole point of this movie is to teach kids how to rebel against the system, even if that system is good, and it teaches them that they shouldn't listen to adults, even if they know better, and in relationships, if your partner had one bad day, throw him away instead of sympathizing with that partner or talking to him, what the hell Disney?
@@ShrekWazowski490UNDERRATED COMMENT
Cuz she a woman that's Disney for you
She is the villain of the story
yep
Probably wrote that without hesitation, which I respect.
Honestly now i feel bad for the king, he was the good guy the whole time.
6:33 truly a "wazz iz deez??" moment 😂
Fun fact: The star was supposed to be a handsome prince that would fall in love with Asha(but Disney scratched it cuz they hate romance now) and the Queen was also originally supposed to be evil so we were gonna get a villain couple and a more powerful villain song (but of course they scratched it) so we not only got robbed with the luma ripoff but also with a weak villain with a bad villain song 😭
the fact that people including myself would have loved that if instead we had the king who everyone thinks is a villain but turn out good all along.
@@pixazelzthere is nothing good about the king.
Make the star into a human so that you people would have more to complain about?
@@canesugar911We would've simp over him
You silly, they don't hate romance, they hate the least marketable for kids option
(Idk if I wrote that right I'm spanish)
Remember when villains were scary
Ursula turned trident into a lifeless skinny ass worm
Jafar straight up drowned Aladdin
The evil queen literally poisoned snow.
Like when they said they gon make you pay, they meant it.
And wht does this king do? Zap and make them groan🤦
From the trailer, I knew he wasn't gonna be a good villain, and I was right.
But I will say he's hot.
@@Blurry-jc6mplike, how the hell are they gonna portray him as any villain when he never blasted anyone lmao
can't forget scar literally overthrew royalty and rid the world of its resources
@@nutmeg7107 maybe because he wasn't the real villain... as you can clearly see the real villain is said teenage girl 💀
Even Hans(?) was willing to let Anna freeze to death to get the throne. This moving was awful 😂
I am so thankful for YT algorithm right now! This is precious, I will have to binge watch all your videos haha so funny
Man I love the way u voice the characters
0:54 the fact that the lip sync was on point
Best description for the "hero" of this movie.
Asha was honestly the worst movie protagonist I've ever seen. The fact that the "Villain" was more likable, relatable and selfless than the main character is sad. Disney has really gone downhill.
The message: Mean old white man won't allow people to follow their dreams, and young empathetic heroine saves the kingdom.
Reality: Spoiled, entitled, and obnoxious teenager who has everything going well for them and society wants everyone to get exactly what they want and damn the consequences.
It's woke Twitter, the movie.
lemme tell you how EASILY you could’ve made the king unlikeable.
You could’ve
- made him force people to give away their wishes
- hate his wife
- plan to manipulate Asha so she leaves her family to work and give away her wish without fighting back
- change his backstory so that the reason he created the utopia was because he planned to eventually sacrifice them all to be more powerful.
- make him snap at people for no reason
- make him grant wishes that only benefit him and his image
AND BOOM.
Impressive commentary! Totally unexpected. Looking forward to watching the next one.
Genuinely a better movie breakdown than actual breakdowns out there lol
apparently there people in the industry who anonymously claimed that this movie was actually going to be good as a tribute to 100 years of disney .but then the people working on it originally where fired and replaced by inexperienced people to cut costs.
Ive also heard they had like 50 hr workweeks, and got the movie done completely in I think it was 6 months? Whereas Disney films usually take at least a year to make. (Been a bit since i saw the video that was mentioned in, ill edit if I'm wrong about numbers, but its still a nightmare work environment, especially for creatives)
This is a real red flag for the movie. Both Disney animation studio and Pixar took years to master rendering technique and physics. And when the level reached master it is not easy to make entire movie in a year. Not only all physics need to be corrected, new techniques need to be applied carefully with old ones but also they need a close contact with CGI outsource team so the final products are perfect (they are those who constructed and render screens and minor details for each frame, thus the studio can concentrated their work to the main details. In Vietnam there are one professional studio do this for all legendary anime and even God of War). At this scale 6 months are not even enough for the CGI Outsource team to finished their work.
I mean they hired crapper lyrics writers. The songs were so damn bad. Compared to ones I've rather listen to.
Mulan when she's preparing to leave her home and family.
Anastasia.
Shrek.
Frozen.
And plenty of other movies
I feel so bad for the king!! He's so right! A vrry good ruler !!
it honestly wouldve been a nicer movie if the moral was something like ‘you can make your own wish come true instead of depending on someone else for it’ or ‘be careful for what you wish for’ but no, it went with the ‘break several laws, target a caring king that literally built the whole kingdom and makes your wishes come true, and mess with magic that doesnt even belong to you in order to get what you want’
2:00 so the king is like a smart D&D player who tries to think of every way a wish could go wrong. What a terrible person.
And Asha is the incompetent DM who hands out ring of three wishes like candy...here comes the munchkins and murderhobos!
Wrong dude
I just found asha 2.0
I hope your serious I'll get wooshed
@@RithwikVadul their comment was pretty clearly not serious
@@RithwikVadulits sarcastic
This movie shows a reality that people will NEVER get satisfied. Their greed and desire keep growing.
Disney used to have movies with real important meanings and characters you could relate to😭
Wow I've seen people say how it feels that Wish was written by an AI and this breakdown just makes me even more suspicious that it was. So many conveniences, so much plot armor, and so little actual development that any professional writer would note in red in the first draft.
yet I'm pretty sure it wasn't IA , why ? because IA can write way better stories than this one.
When it’s so bad it’s worse than ai lol
nah it is anti thai royalist who wrote it
Imagine blaming ai when Disney has been ruining all their IP in the guise of inclusion. Hiring people based on skin.
Nothing but bad writers at Disney stop blaming AI. You can point at 1000 other stupid things modern vid corps do. Imagine blaming ai when ai has NOTHING to do with it.
dumbasfk
I swear most llms has better morals than this story ever can ,even if their reason falters due to restrictions they have.
I wonder if Asha could genuinely start out as a flawed character. Like she’s portrayed to be flawed.
Asha finds out that King Magnifico doesn’t grant the wishes because of some of them being worse for the kingdom, which leaves her to try and take action. But instead of the story trying to portray Asha as in the right, she’s portrayed as in the wrong. She takes action against King Magnifico and wishes upon the star, but the star turned out to be dangerous and the kingdom is now going to be destroyed or some other thing. King Magnifico finds out and Asha realizes she was wrong the whole time, and to make it up to King Magnifico she wants to stop the star. The king helps her, accepts her apology, and yeah.
Idk if it’s even good, just a random thought I had
Better than the original
Has actual character development✅
The character face their consequences of their action✅
Not forcing the antag so much to be a villian in the first place✅
I say it much better
@@Kaelronpa4299 yeah, they seemed like they were really confused on what direction King Magnifico should go. They should have just stuck to him being a misunderstood villain bcs imo it fits him better
This is pretty good... Better than the original...
Much, Much better than the original. Way much better.
Its hilarious how little damage the king actually does to anything in this movie.
9:57 when I was watching this movie with my grandma I was super confused on how everyone in Rosa knew the lyrics to the song if they were never around her
Also singing in order to get your wishes back as the climax of the movie? Really Disney?.. no fighting? I LOVE THIS MOVIE BUT THAT'S CONFUSING AS HELL
The only thing this movie showed is that you can do everything right in the world and still be called evil. RIP King Magnifico. You were a great, wonderful, and benevolent king.
He didn’t die 💀
@@AngelTheOfficial tell that to all the souls I soul-traped in oblivion ;-P
You know, Magnifico being the villain and the whole 'wishes belong to EVERYONE' theme would have worked a lot better had Magnifico been using a captured star to steal its' power to use for wish granting.
I've seen many good ideas for how this movie should have run. But have to admit that this is the best I've seen so far as being the most appropriate for Disney's wish upon a star 100th anniversary. 👍 The ending scene would be the star being set free and flying over the castle.
Edit: the star being trapped meant that even with a lot of hard work, no one could fulfill their dreams without Magnifico's help. The artist couldn't draw well, the musician could only aspire to mediocre playing. There would have to be some price to be paid to him - not sure what, would have to think about it more. lol.
I like the way u voiced these characters lol its so halairious (aah, tumble tumble, IM KOREAN, want egg fried rice?)
This feels like the backstory episode from a villains perspective
Asha's portrayal of her "selflessness" describes exactly my problem with Steve in the mcu
@@user-bo4sw2qk5e because he just does what he wants without considering the casualties or the consequences, because he's "Captain America" as seen in Civil War and at the end of Endgame. Most of Steve's motives post-serum are selfishly based
Perhaps it should be called out for what it us, self righteous.
Cap was very much a person struggling with doing the right thing.
But it was clear he always put what's right before himself. and sound nothing like a selfish child
@@hecticfunentertainment9373 yes, I'm sure that ignoring a practical solution to government control or ignoring the possibility of coming to a compromise and instead going against your teammate, mirroring another person that betrayed him by slamming your shield into his "heart", and doing what you want all because of a friend from your past that doesn't remember who he was and very seriously needed therapy which could have been provided had Steve come to a compromise. Not to mention being a hypocrite by calling Tony selfish and the last guy to sacrifice himself when Tony did that twice before meeting Steve and that Steve lied himself by keeping the secret of Tony's parents' death just because he assumed the worst of Tony's response instead of actually talking to him
@@zaramel4694 First off you are doing a strawman fallacy.
The whole issue in civil war was meant to be convoluted He considered compromise and then his love one died and his friend was being framed.
Second, he apologize to Tony about keeping the Secret.
Third it was in the first Avenger movie his accusation but his mind changed after getting to know Tony.
Bro, the old concept of Wish was cool.
Instead of 1 actual "villain", there could have been 2 villain : the queen and king. Making it one of the rare movies in Disney where a married couple are the antagonists.
And instead of the star, they drew a star boy/magical boy.
I think that could have been a fresh male character that isn't a prince saving the princess, but instead, he was a protagonist helping the "princess". In my opinion boys would have liked a new type of male character in a "princess movie". I would have liked it🤷♂️
But no, Disney made another movie for themselves and not for the audience
One thing I could not understand is how ungratefull everyone is. Even if your wish never gets granted, you still live in a utopia where there is no crime, no hate, no taxes, no danger, all made possible by one man.
9:30
"wHoS yOuR dAdDy"
That lip sync and facial expression fit so well 😂
Fr 😂😂
This is better than the actual movie
Exactly
King: *Creates utopia where everyone is equal and everything is perfect *
Asha: ‘You know those wishes they gave you willingly? They don’t belong to you and should all be granted even if they possibly ruin everything’
