Even if Disney sticked with the Star shapeshifter idea, they'd make them and Asha platonic just like with Moana and Maui and Nick and Judy.

This is especially considering that their previous movies don't have romances because they are uneeded for their stories.

I mean of course we don’t know for sure, but yeah I’d say that too based on the art book and what julia michaels said about the songs. We know the songs were written very early in production and according to her there already wasn’t a spot for a love song, so that makes me think romance was never REALLY considered for wish, they surely played around with the concept, but it got scrapped pretty early imo.

Btw I really do wanna see a disney movie with a romance plot, I’m just not that MAD we missed asha x human star, they still work as friends imo and to me they just wanted to tell a different story this time. Who knows maybe they’ll listen to fans and make a romance story for their next original movie but, guess we’re gonna have to wait a little for that. Thanks to all the disney hate people spread on social medias, disney is giving us like. 2 years of just sequels and remakes

*and audience with 0% media literacy* apparently

i havent watched wish yet but the amount of hate it gets is so weird, like i dont think the attitude towards an animated movie was ever this bad besides i think turning red when it first came out

i saw a similar level of hate towards raya that calmed down after people realized that they could just watch movies they liked. i think wish had a lot more pressure as disney's big 100 but it was like. fine.

honestly what gets me upset mainly is that people were like "man this would've been better if it was a heterosexual love story" like what???? what the fuck?????? what are you fucking talking about???

random but i have watched wish and listened to the soundtrack sm times... i love this movie i love asha i love king magnifico 🙏🏽💗 anyone who's ever hated on this movie you suck and i do not like you! asha is literally iconic. i can not explain how much i love this movie... made me cry so much. my fav songs are this wish and at all costs. beautiful 10/10 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

If I see one more YouTube comment claiming that Wish's dangerous message is that "ALL wishes should be granted, regardless of their consequences", and that "Magnifico did nothing wrong" I will scream. What happened to media literacy?

i've said this before but it was SO funny that at the end of the movie all the characters practically turn to the screen and say "wow it's so great that we're working hard for our own wishes instead of giving it to one unstable guy and hoping it'll happen eventually. even better that we're doing it together. almost like a union or something" and i remember being in the theatre like "ok that was a little heavy-handed" and then i went online and. guys

Magnifico simps the moment people acknowledge that him as a bad guy:

The main defense Magnifico simps use for their pwecious babygirl, that isn't being a dick to seventeen year old teenager, is this Book of Spells. This defense however fails to explain his already negative traits even before he used the book, or why he even has it in the first place.

So the book contains powerful magic that any magic user can use to amplify their own powers. However, the book's contents contain spells that are used for evil purposes. It even informs the reader that once one embraces dark magic, they commit to it.

Because we are never given any info on how or when he got the book in his possession, we can cue in the fact that Magnifico studied magic to become a powerful sorcerer, so he has access to anything that is magic while training and may have obtained the book after learning of it. He already knew it's contents are dangerous, suggesting he learned its dark purpose, however with him wanting to make himself even more powerful, he still kept it within easy access.

Now the catalyst of him embracing its dark contents was resulted by Star arriving to Rosas. Ever the paranoid, he feared that a being more powerful than him came to undone what he built. He considers using the book out of rage over himself for not being powerful enough or not knowing enough to know the cause of Star's light. Had it not been for Amaya to console him and suggesting him to look for his subjects for guidance.

The second catalyst of him accepting the book's contents and magic is when his own subjects fail to give what he wanted, an easy answer to who caused the light so he can snuff it out. Instead, they start questioning him about the system he created. To him, he sees this as an act of ungratefulness.

The third and final catalyst is when he punishes Asha for "stealing" from him by crushing her mother's wish right before them. He finds out that crushing the wishes amplifies his magic. At this point, he embraces dark magic completely and uses books contents to create a scepter so he can use to it absorb star and make himself even more powerful.

Magnifico was already a narcissist by the time he appointed himself king of Rosas, creating the wish system so that his subjects praise him with false promises. When he learns that a magical being much more powerful than him arrives, his paranoia of losing his crown takes over him as he resorts to using dark magic so that he can snuff out this threat and remain in power. When he founds out what the wishes can do, he fully abandons his own wish system entirely and focuses on getting Star so he can use their powers.

His magic backfiring and absorbing him into his own staff may are consequences of using a spell to absorb a being of magic. This bit is very hypothetical, so hear me out with a grain of salt. The kingdom of Rosas wishing for Star amplifies Star to escape the staff, as Star and Magnifico are already equal in terms of magic by the climax, Star just doesn't want to use their's to harm anyone. So the staff, programmed to do what it's made for, absorb Magnifico because he had powerful magic. With the staff made to make sure the being its sealed in is unable to escape, it's highly probable that any being with magic cannot use it once they're sealed.

Another bit that is somewhat related is Amaya's denial over her husband embracing dark magic and has hopes that there is a way for them to bring him back. She says that it has a hold on him, suggesting that she thinks the book is responsible for her husband's use of it. Once she learns that they cannot undo Magnifico's own actions, she forces herself to accept that her husband has embraced powers and ambition over her and their people.

Another minor detail for Amaya's underrated ark and also being unintentional meta for Magnifico simps being in denial that their blorbo is evil and blames the book for his own actions. And scapegoating Asha.

Upon rewatching Wish, I noticed how Magnifico is more in line with a cult leader.

He convinced people his beliefs about their wishes and had them come with him to find an island to built his kingdom where he appointed himself king. On par with how cult leaders made themselves the sole leader because they founded the cult.

News of Rosas spread to other lands and several people came to move, under the pretense that the kingdom is a place where their dreams will come true.

Another factor is how Magnifico made a law that no one in Rosas is allowed to use magic but himself. But when Star, a more powerful being than him, came to Rosas to aid Asha, he fears that people will figure out that his wish system is unneeded and that he will lose power and influence. Basically, a cult leader who paints himself as a god but then a real god came from the heavens, he'd be in hot water once that real god finds out what his intentions are and reveals to his followers the truth.

And of course, him and only him decides what's best for Rosas. But his decisions and the wish system itself barely benefits his people but himself. He gave them roofs over their heads, but few if not never the things they wanted, their wishes coming true. He does grants the wishes, but only does so very sparingly because he didn't want all of his people to get what they dreamed, and therefore no more followers to be on his feet.

While Magnifico is unintentionally applicable to large corporations, like the Walt Disney Company itself, another factor is that both Asha and Magnifico represent positive and negative aspects of Walt and his legacy.

Asha represents Walt's humble beginnings as a dreamer and innovator, pursuing dreams and passions while Magnifico represents the company Walt made and its shady business practices.

The kingdom of Rosas maybe a metaphor for the company, started off as an animation studio intend on making animated films before becoming the mega multimedia corp that everyone loves and hates, on par with how Magnifico started off with good intentions when he built Rosas, only to develop a system that only benefits himself.

The main defense Magnifico simps use for their pwecious babygirl, that isn't being a dick to seventeen year old teenager, is this Book of Spells. This defense however fails to explain his already negative traits even before he used the book, or why he even has it in the first place.
