Because Asha is learning magic at the end of movie, once she starts using that magic to do wish granting ceremonies like Magnifico used to, this kingdom will be less than a pile of rubble before you know it cause...... Asha and the Queen are wayyy too naive Meanwhile, Magnifico chose having "your wish granted" as the bounty reward because he understands human nature i.e people are constantly selling out their "friends" to satisfy their own desires

To me,King Magnifico seems like a strict teacher or an "a-hole with a point". He ruled over Rosas successfully for decades and Asha overthrew him just because he told her "no". She's more childish than Magnifico ever was

My little cousin said after the movie « what if 2 people ask to win the same contest, then you cannot grant their wishes no? And what if the wish is something bad ? » I was so proud of her

The Fairly OddParents taught us exactly why granting every single wish is not necessarily a good thing

I am quite obsessed with Wish because it's superbly written TRAGEDY entirely on accident. The king who sacrificed everything for his kingdom and it's people get overthrown by the very people he fought his life for. Not only that, but he is overthrown by the person he trusts most, his wife, and the most naive and self-centered nobody(Asha) who thinks she's more experienced and knowledgeable than the king. The only fault on the king's part was that he spoiled his people by granting their wish at all. I can see a children's book written in the perspective of Magnifico as the protagonist, and Asha as the antagonist. Only thing that need to be added is that the star is actually a spawn of devil who yearned to destroy this city. The lesson here is simple: If you are in position of responsibility and power, DO NOT reward your people when they accomplished nothing.

Another thing that annoys me. Is how by the end. Not one person even considered giving Magnifico a second chance. He kept them happy and safe for years. They all claim they loved him. But the moment he is no longer a wish dispenser no one cares for him. That Kingdom is made up of awful, selfish, entitled people. It's not like at the end they tried to win him back to the good side. Or make him realize that he was doing to his Kingdom the harm he was trying to protect them from. He didn't want what happened to him to happened to someone else, and he was about to do it. It would've make more sense for him to realize this, be unable to fix it, Asha and the star fix it. But Magnifico having to pay the prize and accept punishment. Or turn out the kingdom was really built with magic and it become unstable because of what he did. And began to crumble, and to prevent that they need a magic cornerstone. And instead of using the star, he choose himself as punishment and to keep the kingdom alive.

A blissful utopia, a bastion of racial and gender equality during a time when such things were unheard of, was destroyed, all because a selfish teenager threw a tantrum. Just...just think about that.

What if someone just whishes for Magnifico to be free again?

Wish sure took an interesting turn by having a villain as the main protagonist that manipulates everyone and eventually seals away the king who kept peace and order in the lands just so she can invite doom and chaos because she selfishly wanted a rather vague wish to be granted. And just to spite the good king who was unjustly sealed away, she released all the wishes that could potentially end the universe if someone so wished without any way of controlling them.

Whoever wrote Wish didn't see Bruce Almighty, when Bruce says Yes to everyone's prayers. It becomes hell. So many people won the lottery, they only got $17 each.

Can we acknowledge the fact that losing the only reason other kingdoms didn't dare invade Rosa was because of Magnifico? Now that he's gone, nothing can stop others from carving up the territory of Rosa and even extradite everyone who took refuge in it. Yeah, they're doomed even without the problem of wishing.

"I wish to be super rich. By the way, I used all that money to hire an army of mercenaries. I'll be running things now."

Remember how Firelord Sozin began to form his wish that led to 100 years of global war? "Our nation is enjoying an unprecedented time of peace and wealth. Our people are happy, and we're so fortunate in so many ways. I've been thinking, we should share this prosperity with the rest of the world."

I agree. Throughout the movie she’s telling all these people that the kings keeping wishes to himself and will never grant those wishes yet she never tells anyone the very specific clear as day reason magnifico told her that he would never grant a wish. He literally told her he would never grant her grandfathers wish is because it was too vague and he didn’t know what inspire means; for all he knew her grandfather was the next hitler in the making.

All Magnifico wanted was to find someone who genuinely wanted to look out for him. He wanted a helping hand. He wanted to find someone in his kingdom who wanted to take care of him for a change. But, no. He had to be made into the villain in the sloppiest way possible.

Dead or not. The kingdom will collapse. Magnifico spoiled them, and took care of way too much. In addition the protection of said Kingdom. For all we know pirates or whatever never attacked Rosas because of his protection. Or some other Kingdom hates Rosas, and now they hear that Magnifico is no more. And if they believe that the Kingdom had riches, or believe the secret to his powers is somewhere there. They'll invade. And they'll be vulnerable. Also, the idea of the wish granting had people in check. How many people only behaved like good people for the benefits the kingdom offered, like no rent, or simply hoping they'll get their wish. But that is gone. So why be good and wait for what you want.When you can just take it. I just rewatched some of it. Thinking I missed something. But God its even worst. And would rate the movie lower than I originally did.

Never saw the movie. But the concept of the "hero" saying "grant all wishes" made me go "Yeah. No. I'm sure the king had four books documenting the severity of the wishes. Harmless/childish, Dangerous, Kingdom Damaging, and World ending. In the harmless/childish one are wishes like "I wish I had Roller Skats." or "I wish my parents were happy" or "I wish I had a pony." None of these are too bad. The Dangerous ones are ones like "I wish I knew how to kill my husband" Or "I wish my boyfriend hated his family." those wishes are dangerous because the boyfriend could hate his family so much he kills them. And the person wanting to kill their husband now knows how to kill other people too, and might like it. Kingdom damaging would be wishes like "I wish we didn't have walls" or "I wish I was a master thief" or "I wish I was rich" or "I wish we didn't have Guards" these ones should be clear. A master thief? There goes money and art and the economy poofs. No walls? What happens when an invading army comes for say...oh...wish powers? No defenses. No guards? No defenses or law keeping. Rich? Bye bye to the economy and they might pay people to revolt. Then the scarier category. World Ending. "I wish I was an Alcamist" or "I wish I had a Zombie Unicorn". Alcamist? You'd think it's fine. Until they split an atom. Then they have nukes. And if one invading force shows up? BOOM, bye bye world. That Zombie Unicorn? One bite to a human, then another and another. Now the world is 28 Days later or World War Z all because some kid wanted a cool looking horned horse." So yeah. I hate this concept.

king magnifico is a hero so loved online I've never seen anything like this

Disney: Everyone's wish should be granted! Literally everyone with at least one brain cell: that is a very bad idea for these two very logical reasons....

Magnifico: "Not everyone's wish is good for the kingdom, and as the king it's ultimately up to me to determine which wishes to grant and which to refuse." Disney: "OMG what a villain! He clearly deserves death!"

Not only that: some wishes may be mutually exclusive or contradictory to other people's wishes. (Example: a person wants it to be Autumn all year round in the kingdom, another person wants it to be Spring all year round in the kingdom) How will these contradictions get resolved? Granting one but not the other? Neither of them?

Wish is honestly a tragedy considering it's bad ending.

If only the plot- in my opinion- could have been like this: Because Asha thought she could get away with it, Magnifico uses some magic wherein she is in a world where all wishes are granted. Or Starboy (from the original concept) hears King Magnifico's deepest wish, which is "I wish she could understand me" and bams. At first in the world she wished, it was fine. But then she sees conflict and etc. This causes her to feel conflicted. And she revokes her wish. She starts becoming sad. Magnifico and the queen (forgot her name) then tell her that not all wishes need magic. They can be done with perseverance etc. And that is why we should always "be careful of what you wish for". THE END

It’s like Gaston, in Beauty and the Beast, and I know he’s not the protagonist in Beauty and the Beast. Because Gaston manipulated the whole village to think the beast is a real monster, only for Gaston to be the real monster. I think of Wish, as a dark counterpart to Beauty and the Beast, as what could have happened if Gaston won, like Asha. The Beast🤴🏻-King Magnifico 🤴🏻 Gaston💪🏻-Asha 🪄

Can't wait for a sequel in a nuclear wasteland because she granted someone's wish for some launch codes

Once someone wishes for a pet dragon and it gets out of hand with people being burnt to death and the entire Kingdom ending up in flames, I don't wanna hear her concerning.

The minute that every wish was granted,the kingdom was screwed over

The film has to jump hurdles to ignore reality to even attempt to make Asha "right"

I'm the only one that realized Asha wish was what turned the King evil. When the star came down because of Asha wish it corrupted the King because for her wish to before filled the people needed to turn against him, and easiest way just to have him become what Asha thought he was.

Everyone’s fate in Rosa was already sealed when Magnifico was trapped and Asha took over

You also have to consider the world too. The king founded Rosa because of war and conflict in the world. Simply put his magic and power kept the kingdom safe from outside aggression. Unless you think Asha had the same power and ability to defend the country, it's pretty doomed long term as well.

I want to be the most handsome and smart. If everyone asks this, everyone will be the most beautiful and smart. Consequently, no one is the prettiest or most intelligent. The very concept of everyone's wishes is totally stupid.

one thing i've wondered about the movie is why did the star arrive and to me its a wish that was to dethrone him or to ruin his kingdom. the only reason why I think that the star is a wish to dethrone him/ruin his kingdom is because of its actions. 1.it purposefully goes to those who didn't like the kingdom so that they will assist in the kings downfall(as seen during the encounter between the pair the king overwhelms the star but with assistance with others it can overwhelm the king) 2. it purposefully used Sasha to get into the king study room and rather than grant the wishes shown in there; it instead decided to try to set all of the research ablaze of which is the reason why I believe that the particular research the king was studying is something important since it did set those specific documents ablaze. 3. they made sure to secure the position of ruler to a childish person who will indiscriminately grant peoples wishes and care about the consequences later

Even if we assumed every single person there had zero ulterior motives, this could easily end miserably. First thing that comes to mind is the "I want to be immortal" wish. Going by other stories on that topic, there'd be the "immortal doesn't equal invulnerable", so you'd have people walking around who lost limbs, have broken neck etc and are in constant physical pain. There'd also be the psychological side with people having lived for centuries who are mentally tired and just want it to end...

For every person that dreams of the Lightbulb, there’s always someone else who dreams of the Atom Bomb

Asha: I am going to grand everyones with! Me: I want your position as king

The only result of everyone getting what they want is self-annihilation.

I'd honestly love to see the look on either the Queen or Asha's face when someone wishes for THEM.

Wish 2 is gonna be like Magnifico rightful return and everything is set right where is should be. That's only my thoughts.

I think what frustrates me the most about this movie is that they only needed to do TWO THINGS to fix it. The first being Magnifico only granting wishes that benefited him. That would be evil. I know that when people gave him their wishes they forgot what they wished for but that’s more morally gray, if they wanted to make him clearly evil they should’ve made him obviously selfish. The second thing was have Asha learn throughout the movie that you CANNOT grant everyone’s wishes. When star was granting everyone’s wishes in the musical number it could’ve turned into chaos and made Asha aware how dangerous it is to grant everyone’s wishes. Then the plot could’ve resumed as normal, with Asha returning the wishes so people could remember a part of themselves that they lost, and at the end she could’ve still had the ability to grant wishes but promised to be wise and careful about it because she learned the hard way what would happen if she made everyone’s dreams come true. BUT HEY WHAT DO I KNOW

Even if the people in this movie didn't wish for 'bad things', this 'let's grant EVERYONE's wishes' message is stupid. some people can only have their wish granted if other people's wish doesn't come true - even without any malice or anything. theres even videos and works of culture that potray this problem. i have no idea how Disney would come up with such a stupid message.

Even if the Wishes aren't malevolent in nature they could still hurt someone. Say someone wishes for someone to love them, the one they love could already be with someone else. Farmers could wish for their farms to produce more food, be it crops or livestock, than they can keep up with along with value going down. Heck you might even get a King Midas situation!

Funnily enough, the show "The Fairy Oddparents" actually solved the same plot hole Wish created. If a wish is too dangerous, it just isn't granted. It's funny how a show that came out almost 30 years earlier then wish solved the same plot hole Wish forgot.

with great power comes great responsibility, and Magnifico had both in spades.

It's super duper creepy this movie implies EVERY SINGLE person, except the king, is a good person whose wish deserves to be granted. Like you said at the beginning, what about people who want to steal, hurt, and kill people? They never bring that up in their weird dystopian kingdom. What I live by: world peace won't be possible, because as long as one person doesn't want "peace", which in reality is way more than just one, this twisted idea of peace will never come to be among humans. I don't want world peace myself, because would that mean I have to let murders evil people alone to their own peace? There's no way everyone will all of a sudden stop being evil or horrible for this peace. I couldn't let evil people to their "peace" because it affects people, especially me and my family. This movie is written and executed by idiots. They say AI wrote the script, it might have helped, but I think it's someone who legit doesn't know how to write a story well and is just an activist who writes through impulse, never once revisiting their points and wondering why people don't like it. I'm a hobby writer, not published, but the shit going on with movies and stories in general pisses me off so much

Wish magic really isn’t something you want to mess this.

imagine everyone wished for 'enough money so i dont have to work anymore' then no one grew food, fixed roads and houses, or did anything. everyone has their money but no one is selling the things they need to survive

This movie wouldn't have sucked, if they actually portrayed Asha as the Villain and Magnifico as a Good Guy. Seriously, it'd have been more entertaining. 😊

As a Pathfinder player, I really appreciate that you point out the importance of vagueness. Our RPG stories are full of people who wish for perfectly reasonable things, only to get blindsided by apocalyptic consequences when they don't define clearly what they want. Granting everybody in an entire kingdom all their wishes while those people are being extremely carelessly vague and defining nothing is an extinction-level event.

Eeeeyup Asha... isn't very bright. Also, I didn't expect you to make a sequel to your other "Wish" video but I like it nonetheless.

There’s plenty of stories that show us how wishing can go horribly wrong. You must be very specific, and direct on your intent. Not for a second, thinking you have full control of a wish. Because wishes, can be easily twisted: The Monkey’s Paw, Midas’ Golden Touch, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, even Destiny 2’s Ahamakara-wish granting dragons-all show us how easily things can change with unforeseen consequences. When desire meets reality.

Imagine that as a small girl you wish that your mother gets better. Now imagine that a couple of ours later you tied up both you and your mother, in the bed of some creepo.

The moment someone makes a wish like... "I wish for everything I touch to turn to gold"

That girl that wished to fly. She didnt use the wish to be able to fly, land safely, or be able to breathe at high altitudes, did she?

"All I want, is all the magic in the world. Is that so bad?" ~Big Jack Horner

Everyone: I wanna be rich! Economy: dies Everyone: surprised picachu When everybody's rich, NOBODY is rich. Some guy: I wanna be the sole monarch!

So lets say an Austrian with a silly moustache who had just failed to get into art school moved to Rosas. Asking for a friend.

True, If two people wish "I want to be the best (insert something here) One of them is not going to get their wish. Or they would be in perpetual competition/war. Also in life we always need something to wish for/ strive for or we lose our drives People always have more wishes. This is also why the Wish spell in DnD is mostly restricted. The DM decides what happens when the wish is granted. Sheesh just think about stories with wish granting Djinn's, Every wish has consequences

hell the whole cartoon series fairly odd parents showed so many way innocent wishes get out of hand and even then THEY had rules

I like how you take that flawed movie and ripping it apart much more.

And them Someone survived, Go to study Magic, fund a kingdom and cicle continue!

I want a wish sequel to be about a guy whose wish is to win the heart of one of Asha’s friends, who isn’t into him. She grants the wish, and has to undo the wish when she realized she magicked away her friends free will, maybe with the help of a certain magic mirror saying “told ya so”

At this point I support petitioning Dreamworks to make a legally distinct King Magnifico story. King Asombrosa has to stop Ishi’s recklessly naive attempt to make everyone’s dreams come true.

Anyone who's familiar with Dungeons and Dragons knows full well how much a seemingly innocuous bit of magic - like having a wand that can open teeny tiny portals into the Feywild, or having a stick that will always come back to you when you throw it, or having a ring that dispels whatever enchantment passes through its bore - can, with a REALLY devious party, end up being campaign-breaking and catastrophic. Evil people aren't going to up and wish, "Hey, can I get an everlasting supply of gunpowder for a weapon?" They'll say, "Hey, my kids are always cold during the winter. I wish for a little ever-burning fire that they can put in a jar and carry around and open up whenever it's chilly! Oh, maybe one that won't even go out underwater so they can use it to heat up water for tea!" then use that eternal, waterproof fire for a little steam-powered propulsion system that they can launch things with. Silly example, maybe, but people CONSTANTLY take advantage of naivety and goodwill to do harm and benefit themselves.

Standing here a realise,i forgot to turn off my mircowave.

Magnifico: "I wish they experience what I've been through." Asha: "Granted!"

The Fairly OddParents. That was a child. Imagine someone wish is Love. NTR on an entire new level.

I would really like to see a sequel or at least a movie addressing the consequences of Asha's decisions and actions. Maybe from the perspective of a traveling bard who so happens to come across the ruined remains of that kingdom...

The actual problem is that Asha is the HERO.

I hope Wish has a sequel where all wishes are granted and Asha needs Magnifico to fix her screw ups

My horrifying thought is that some peoples' wishes are *incompatible* with each other. Some people say "I want to be an artist", and people love their art, but maybe not enough to pay enough money to be "well off". Whereas someone who did just outright ask to be rich gets money. The Artist wisher also happens to be an "Eat the Rich" sort of person, and suddenly you have civil war and class warfare because you've given wishes that *create* class strife. So easy, the artist wishes to *also* be rich. But then you run into the problem of "how come HE gets TWO wishes???", now to make it "fair" you have to grant rich wish guy another wish. But then you have to grant *everyone* two wishes. But then someone who gets two wishes looks over and sees that musically inclined wish maker is getting a bunch of sexy girls fawning over him, so now artist and rich wish guy say "Hey wait, I wish I had the charisma to get women to go for me too!" And now there are THREE wishes in play- how long does it take before Asha/Wishing Star is worn down by people screeching GIMMEGIMMEGIMME and the wishing magic is depleted or whatever, or people start murdering each other demanding that they have all the wishes to make them omnipotent? It's just hairbrained at the end of the day.

The queen dumped the wish responsibilities to asha. So when it all blows up. It was asha's fault not the queen's.

You left out one of genie's rules. You can't bring anyone back from the dead.

this is the exact notion of 'good times create weak men.', when things are too good the problems are usually self-made.

All it takes is one wish to become the worlds most powerful human being, then its just game over at that point.

Wishes are literally a desire for a certain dream to come true. And for every person who dreams up the light bulb. There's someone who dreams up the atomic bomb.

Farmer wishes his crops could be sold for more. Massive crop failures start on all other farms.

In the end that Kingdom turn into something like a premise of a Dark Soul Game. In the end of this game. You'll have to chop up Asha and the Queen's head and burn it at the pit and release the souls of everyone in the kingdom.

The moment when a Russian convict from Iron Man 2 has better advice than the message of Disney's 100th anniversary film: HEY MAN, DON'T GET TOO ATTACHED TO THINGS. LEARN TO LET GO.

You know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for."

If you ask me this movie could have been something similar to encanto if they planned it right like it could have been the people of Rosa’s constantly wanting wishes and only Saw him as a god instead of a kind leader but with the king having limited power so he couldn’t grant all of them so it would change the people’s memories when he was in able to grant them with Asha getting the job as assistant to help with keeping the peace with the townspeople beginning to turn on him calling him a liar and a false god even with the good he has done for them ,now that sounds good

This is what we call entitlement: the desire to have everything without working for it, the desire for power without responsibility. If you want to know if a law/rule system is fair, check how much power and responsibility the different participants have. A system where some have power without responsibility, and others responsibility without power, is a broken system that is doomed to crash and burn.

So if every wish deserves to be granted, people can just wish that they can grant wishes as well which can lead to a whole can of worms.. Its weird because at some point Asha would have to say “no” to some of these wishes which could lead to basically becoming another Magnifico by restricting certain wishes, thus repeating the cycle again.

They made Asha accidentally the true villain

I'm just wondering. Disney was throwing many references to their work in this. Maybe this is origin of all these Disney movies. Maybe she didn't kill everyone, but transformed them into different fairytales characters. Just take Snow White. Someone wished to be most beautiful queen (maybe this queen from Wish, because she has mirror) and she became wife of king in some land. Someone didn't like these 7 'friends' and wished them to be small and work hard or something (maybe they thought they look down on them or something). So 7 dwarfs was born. Small miners that live in poverty in forest who knows where. What about Genie? Someone (arrogant who likes to boss others) wished to be most powerful but someone, who was bullied by him, wanted him as servant. Two wishes contradicted and result? Genie who is OP but trapped in lamp. I think that kingdom was torn apart by wishes and it's remains created most of fairy tales. Nice origin story for Disney. Most citizens probably don't remember who they were. They are similar to Agata from Wandavision. They fate may be worse that death. (Depending who you ask).

one thing i noticed about about Magnifico taking the wishes: it is probably for many ppl a significant improvement. I mean is there anything more heartbreaking than chasing a dream with all your might only to fail in achieving it? ppl can dream about being capable athletes but not everyone can achieve that, no matter how hard they train. it's not only the bad wishes Magnifico took he took those that are hopeless. and since ppl forgot their wishes they wouldn't miss em and chances their second biggest wish were way easier to achieve were probably way higher. what Magnifico did was a less extreme version of what happened in the movie Equilibrium.

"Some people dream of the electric bulb, while others dream with the nuclear bomb."

It's a good point that Magnifico knows more about people as he traveled the world to learn the magic he used. He would have seen multiple cultures and how the people act in those cultures. He would have seen how something that sounds innocent could be nefarious in disguise.

In my personal opinion, I don't think every will die, but I do think that the kingdom will more than likely fall if you were to grant every wish the is going to be so many contradictions if it's just done on a wim

I haven't seen the movie, but I can see him going insane from reading the wishes and sorting them on whether or not to grant those wishes

Asha basically overthrew what seems like a living, thriving kingdom that has stood for a couple of decades at least. While her friends sang songs and said that they were "oppressed" there was absolutely no evidence to show that oppression existed. Also, if they really wanted to show that Wishes could be good. Why the hell didn't Asha's grandpa start the reprisal of "This Wish"? He wanted to inspire people, so why the hell didn't he sing it to make that wish come true? At the very least it would give him a character arc or something to work with.

I fully believe Amaya was actually an evil sorceress who manipulated Magnifico into snapping. This story would have been so much better if Magnifico just had extreme anxiety and that was his deal, not “I’m actually secretly a narcissist.” Not that it would’ve saved it. The songs had nothing to do with the actual movie or context. Husband I watched this and then we watched Cats just to see which we disliked more. Just letting y’all know, I smiled and had a good time ironically watching Cats. I only cracked a half smile once during Wish, and that was for the deer joke. Wish is genuinely the worst Disney movie I’ve ever seen. There is no enjoyment to be had there.

its wierd how magnifico looks and acts like a great guy in every way up until the writers decided they needed justify him getting dethroned and replaced with a foolish child.

In addition to everything said in this video, you have to remember that a wish made with good intentions can still lead to a bad result if it's not thought out enough.

Just conflicting wishes would cause disaster. One person wants everyday to be Christmas and another wants everyday to be a summer day. Plus if everyone who wants to be rich is given a million dollars it would crash their economy.

The brutal reality is magnifico would be a better politician than the ones we have in power

Thanks for making this video this has been exactly what I've been predicting since I saw Wish. Too bad though we don't get to see it actually happen.

"Everybody's wish will be granted." What if one wishes for "world peace" through world conquest, or to basically become the emperor of mankind, not realizing the toll it would take on humanity?

Tbh if there's a sequel to wish, this could be a chance to make the movie redeemable Imagine a sequel that has a dark plot where Asha & the queen realized that not all people have a good wish (probably the star can be the villain) 👁👃👁 That's literally a wish comes true

Random guy "hey my i have only one wish in life... I wish to be strong... Stronger than anyone able to life buildings as if they are feathers..." Asha "Uh that doesn't sound the best wish why would you want that" Guy "Cause i wanna join a circus and lift up elephants in the greatest show of strength the world will ever seen?" Aisha "oh ok if that's the case here you go" Guy *proceeds to basically become an evil version of super man* .... What im saying is that some people just wanna see the world burn and as you said there are so many wishes that sound innocent but can be used for some horrible stuff
