So when some POC qweer has a trauma from their past, we're supposed to feel sad and heartbroken for them, but cis white males with traumatic backstories who honest-to-God desire to never inflict that on others are just power-hungry wicked men who need to be locked away forever.

Yeah, sounds like this was definitely their way of screaming at Walt Disney "Fuck you, old man! The future is female!" Even though the very first animated movie had a female protagonist who actually changed men's lives for the better.

Modern women screenwriters and directors are the worst.

Oh yeah @madethistocomment what about the twerking chickens? Is that real?

No twerking, but there is a 40 second long cabaret show-esque bit with them where it ends with them shooting eggs out of their ass to be juggled by other chickens. It was very clearly meant to be a funny scene for people, especially the kids, to laugh at.

The theatre in my cam rip was dead silent.

I heard it was a mirror and not a staff, personally.

It's like a chunk of mirror-like obsidian on the top of his staff. It breaks off of the top of his staff after it hits the ground when he gets trapped in it. Curiously, the same book that claims that the king cannot be saved from the book's control also claims that his staff can't be broken, and yet it literally does in the climax. So clearly the book is fucking lying and nobody bothered to try anything other than ganking him.

Since they’re out around the same time I thought I’d compare why kids were excited to see Trolls 3 but not Wish.

Trolls movies aren’t masterpieces but they are pretty fun. They’re visually interesting and use catchy music people already know. All across tiktok I’ve seen people react to certain trolls clips out of context and it makes them consider watching the film.

All of the reception towards Wish’s marketing has been nothing but mockery. Kids and teens find the humor and story outdated and corny. There’s so many tiktoks making fun of the villains awful villain theme. If these movies releasing around the same time has shown me it’s that Disney needs to stop trying to re-create Frozen’s success via reusing it’s tropes to death.

and Fables but Disney is too pussified to adapt that.

They did.... Once Upon A Time was a wholesale bastardized plagiarized version of Bill Willingham's Fables comic; one that was made purely to capitalize on the success of the Fables comic book (which was one of DC's top selling Vertigo comics) and the bullshit behind the scenes drama where Warner Brothers were holding the media rights to Fables hostage, refusing to make a Fables cartoon but at the same time gleefully torturing Willingham by refusing to let him shop the rights to another studio, because if Warner didn't want to make it then NO ONE would get to make a show off of the Fables comic, by churning out a Third Wave Feminist version of Fables where all of the villains were secretly the good guys and the good guys all secretly evil child murdering monsters.

TL;DR, the king is a tragic hero who gets doomed by his love for his people and the main characters are villain protagonists that we're expected to root for and view as yass kween good guys.

Have you considered that maybe you are a FASCIST CHUD and that's why you don't understand the movie sweetie? Of course once you touch use the black book of evil, you can never go back! It's like saying NIGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!

I can already see her singing "I never loved him anyway" in the same tone as Elsa and then the seals with rainbow hair CLAPPED!

What a filthy and disgusting piece of media, another example on how morally bankrupt everything is at this point, you have to be fucking insane to make a movie about wishes where the moral is "EVERYONE GETS A CAR!" instead of "oh hey, it's nice to have wishes, but what comes easy is not valued and that the weird tranny that breaths heavily while looking at children also gets wishes does not fill me with confidence"

It's from a mobile game, you'll be forgiven for not having played it. It's not so much mentioned as it is kind of implied if you know the general lore of how all the KH worlds were one giant world at the beginning. That would mean everyone from everywhere would have to go through Hades at some point.

I did play the game, I just didn't remember if they mentioned that the Greek Underworld isn't just Hell, but Heaven and Purgatory too. Either way, I do like that touch. Certainly explains how Auron ended up there.

The plot of everyone getting wishes except the protagonist was always weird, but the King being a victim and just locked up and thrown away is the icing on the shit sundae.

True, this just sounds unwatchable to me if it's basically telling kids they can still be assholes to adults and not punished for it.

Fuckin' dumb movie.

The queen literally is designed like your typical villainness, and no one bats an eye at this? Absolutely tone deaf.

So, there was a /co/ thread recently where someone dumped the artbook for Wish. Most of it is just generic behind the scenes stuff that might be interesting if you're into that sort of thing and can be read in full here. A few pertinent highlights for the thread, spoilered for size:
Asha is absolutely what you think she is: an activist.

A big hint to what the original story was going to be. The star was supposed to be a boy and probably Asha's love interest on some level (or referencing her dead grandfather if he wasn't). After that they went through a million other iterations that were a million times more interesting than the Luma from Mario. I didn't include the page here for the sake of space. Also, I know it's just concept art but I would love a film in that style.

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER! Her and the king were supposed to be a villain couple, something that I can't think of happening before in a Disney movie off the top of my head. It makes a lot of other parts of the plot fall into place, like finding out Elsa was supposed to be the villain in Frozen and it got rewritten so Let It Go could be the big empowering song instead of a selfish song about rejecting others' needs.

There's no big reason for this one other than to show how expressive the king's pencil tests are compared to the final product. A good look as to what the completed film might look like in Disney's traditional 2D style. What a waste.

In fact, a waste and a pitch perfect encapsulation of current Disney: a company where there are interesting ideas floating around that are subsequently strangled by committee into insultingly bad films.

I was honestly expecting something like... the people realize that giving their wishes to someone else is stupid, and they reclaim their wishes and go forth to find their own dreams, blah, blah, taking the wishes weakens king, blah, blah, they win.

But, it's worse than that.

Ah well, I haven't been to a movie since before the pandemic, and don't see any need to go back yet.
