These youtube comments from this video analyzing the song ¨Hellfire¨ from The hunchback of notre dame have galaxy brain energy
¨As Frollo sings “It’s not my fault, I’m not to blame”, the hooded monks sing “My fault” in Latin. It’s like God is literally telling him through these visions, “This. Is. On. You. Either stop shifting the blame and being all creepy, or stop claiming to serve my will. You are about the least holy person in France!” And Frollo just doesn’t listen. He even seems more determined to shirk the blame, considering afterward he shifts from pinning it completely on Esmerelda to on the Devil and God Himself.¨
¨For those non-Catholics: The song the monks are singing in the background is the Confiteor, an admission of guilt and wrongdoing and asking of forgiveness from God. Frollo distorts the song for himself, though; "Mea culpa" - "through my fault" - followed by "It's not my fault, I'm not to blame!" He's taking something that should be holy and righteous and turning it upside down. He won't admit that he's doing anything wrong.¨

If i gained a penny for every time i saw an despicable, absolutely horrible character have their comeuppance by literally falling straight into the arms of uncle lucy, in spite that they constantly tried to shoehorn themselves into heaven, i'd have two pennies, which isn't even the most surprising part
It's the fact that Disney was the first to pull it off

Seeing how 'Wish' is supposed to be a celebration of a century of Disney that's chock full of homages and nods to their past films, no matter what happens in the film, there's really only one suitable end for King Magnifico:

I'm just saying....
It's a tradition!

Hellfire is the only Disney villain song where the antagonist is not having a good time....
I'm trying to think of the reasons why Hellfire is one, if not, the best Disney villain song and how it's different from the others, and this is what I noticed...
Their songs is where we see the motives, goals and overall character of the villains and how they'll drive the plot of the movie.
However I don't think I've ever seen another Disney villain who's having a horrible time.
Frollo is the only one I've seen who's in pain in a sense.
He's not singing because its his number, no, he's singing because he's struggling with his inhibitions.
I mean, look at the other guys...
They're having a gay ol' time
.
Another thing I've noticed to other villain songs is that they have an audience.
I think they need to because it's usually the time where they hatch their evil plans and the audience is generally the main protagonist.
Meanwhile Frollo doesn't want anyone to know his little "trouble" with the fireplace.
He doesn't want witnesses... no one has to know, no one needs to, and he made sure of that.
Even having to burn Esmeralda's scarf so nobody can find it. He was determined to keep his motives hidden.
He's alone, restless, and vulnerable, as shown with him not wearing his usual vestments (hat and the shoulder pad thing).
The only people who knows Hellfire exists is him and us, the viewers.
Decides to make this also because I've been seeing people who've watched the new movie Wish and a lot are comparing the villain songs to the old ones.
