I was watching a video of someone breaking down the lyrics of Wish and why fundamentally they don’t work; but the whole thing angers me because it Could have worked if they just went with their original idea to Begin with. I’ve mentioned before that they should have gone with Star Boy but the songs in Wish REALLY emphasize WHY that sentiment rings true. Because “At All Costs” was SUPPOSED to be a duet between Asha and Star Boy because the whole thing sounds like a lovers lullaby and him wanting to love Asha “as a human does” per say. But now it’s just Asha and Magnifico singing to a bunch of crystal balls which loses most of the emphasis that song was trying to portray in the First place (not to mention how Stupid it is that the wishes are just crystal balls like this is where the 2d animation would have stood out).

Now, “I’m a Star!” Just needs to be entirely scrapped and reworked cause they could have used the song to show how Star Boy thinks and feels about things upon his initial introduction cause I’d presume that Star Boy would probably be someone very upbeat and excitable, but incredibly naïve about how the world works at the same time.

And “This is the Thanks I Get?!” COULD have really worked if they went with this plan as well cause Magnifico is supposed to be feeling unappreciated and disrespected and if Asha were his daughter and going against him cause of her feelings for Star Boy and how Magnifico was handling the wishes then That makes sense. But in the film we got, the town already seems to respect him and he doesn’t really have a reason for the way he acts which is why his switch to villain seems so abrupt.

Also the lyrics, rhythm and cadence would need a Drastic change but that would probably be Disney needing to just fire Julia Michaels and going with someone who’s Profession is making lyrics for Musical Theater instead of pop songs cause all these lyrics are just “ohh wishes!” “Ohhh stars!” And whatnot instead of building up Anything narratively. (Cause even though Lin Manuel Miranda has kinda become a meme at this point he still Knows how lyrics should build a story. Except for the Scuttlebutt but that’s just a one off thing that was truly Terrible). But hey, this is just me ranting on something that I should be letting go at this point but whatever 🤷‍♀️

(Also it bothers me that Disney was like “oh we can’t have Asha have a romantic interest in 2023 how can we show she’s a strong lead in 2023 if there’s a love interest!” Even though there’s Plenty of ways to do that with the two building off each other in a natural way and the fact that Asha doesn’t really have a character arc Anyways and her being Magnifico’s daughter would have made this work as well cause she’d have to choose between her feelings for Star Boy and going against her parents wishes just UHG I’m so pressed can someone make a Wish fixed fanfic so I can read that instead please?! Thank you.)

King Magnifico, a villain worth waiting for?

I can already tell that “Wish” is going to have some amazing characters, but it seems that the one character Disney Fans are looking forward to the most is the next Villain King Magnifico. Even more than the next Heroine, Asha, which really makes you think.

After a decade of “Surprise Twists” Villains (when their stories even had an actual villain), King Magnifico really seems to be the Disney Villain we’ve been craving for years now. He’s a great return to the classic fairy tale villains while also bringing something new.

Listening to his song “This Is The Thanks I Get?!”, Magnifico really seems to believe he’s “the good guy” who doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves, even though he’s really not… Magnifico is just so good at keeping up this noble and charming image, that no one has every questioned him until Asha did… As his facade starts to crack because of this, Magnifico gives in more and more to his selfish, power-hungry side as he keeps justifying his actions.

A while back, I said it might actually be hard to hate this villain when we see him on screen. And now that prediction is already coming true. King Magnifico looks like an interesting, unique villain who’s worth waiting a decade for.

🌟 Out of all the characters in Disney’s “Wish”, Queen Amaya is among my favorites, next to Star. About two weeks ago, me and a friend of my mom’s saw the new Disney movie on an early Thursday afternoon. It was during a day-off from work. On social media, I saw many, many mixed to negative reactions about “Wish”, but thought that maybe I ought to see it in the theater or when it’s available for streaming on Disney+. I really enjoyed Queen Amaya’s dynamic with Asha, the lead character. As well as her verse in the song “Knowing What We Know Now”. Anyway, me and my mom’s friend saw the movie and liked it.

Thinking of it now, I give the movie 7 out of 10 stars. My main criticisms are how too quirky Asha is, though she does follow in the footsteps of quirky female characters like Rapunzel, Anna, Moana, and Mirabel. King Magnifico is another weak villain , motivated by greed. Yet, I really enjoyed the visual and verbal Easter eggs and anecdotes throughout the movie to commemorate Disney’s 100th anniversary. 👑

Wow... This fits Mammon surprisingly well

All he wants is a little respect

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

This Final Shot is just so Terrifying...

From the new Disney Villain Song

"This Is The Thanks I Get?!"

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

The first part of this is pretty funny XD

but what if the walrus was a fairy

now on redbubble!

When I followed you earlier today and then realized this blog wasn't even two days old it made me feel like I invested in a startup.

Do you think if you did the lyrics for Fireflies by Owl City, your database would give us fireflies? (Will also accept owls. And there's a line about sheep too).
