I want to engage with all Magnifico fans...
What zodiac sign do you think he'd be??
Tumblr media
Part of me wants to say he'd be either an earth or wind sign, maybe even a Fire sign, but idk if I'm too biased with Chris Pine being a Virgo man lol
No, but seriously. I think this man might indeed be a Virgo man, or just a Libra. Maybe a Capricorn. And if he might be a fire sign he'll DEFINITELY be a Leo.
Sooo...

Okay, here is more about the new villan character of Disneys new movie "Wish". His name is King Magnifico. I posted here some images that you can now see why I am thinking he looks somehow like Viggo. Okay, his yes are blue and not brown and his hair is different-but you should watch the gifs in the net when he is acting.
The last one is a doll of the King.

Honestly, this make me so sad. I would have preferred this story so much. THIS feels like a love letter to Disney's past. I'm sure others will have their opinions on it. But this pretty much sums up mine.
(I kinda hope they'll do a remake someday with this instead. That's probably wishful thinking. But hey! I can dream. Lol.)
EDIT: People seem to think I mean a live action remake. I don't. I mean I would want it completely done over. That's a bit out there, but like I said, I can dream. It's just my fantasy.

If you haven’t seen Wish yet and you love Disney, do not go see it. I am telling you now. It is ripping out the hearts of the Disney movies you love and then waving their corpses around as if celebrating those hearts.
Tumblr media
I’ll explain why, again: the message of Wish? Awful. Anti-Disney.
But they've been doing this for a long time. Saying one thing with their movies, and saying another with their PR and Disney Parks Soundtracks.
I'll explain.
Main Idea of Disney's Wish (and the You Are the Magic theme park song and merch): "The power to make your wishes come true is in you."
Most Disney Movies' Idea on How to Have Wishes: "Do what's right, (trust a higher power) and something even more wonderful than what you wished will happen."
Don't try to argue with me about this. You have to look underneath the slogans and the sweater designs and the song titles to what the stories actually support to acknowledge this.
Because you can’t say “do what’s right” has power unless you answer the question “who gets to decide ‘what’s right?’” (Which, coincidentally, is a question Wish brings up and then doesn’t answer.)
Audiences of Disney used to accept that wishing on a star was much like prayer; there’s something you long for, and it’s out of your hands, but you wish for it and you do what you know is right in the meantime. And you’re not crushed, you’re not downhearted, because somewhere in your mind you trust that the combo of those two things—wishing on a higher power and diligence to do what’s good—will be what makes your wish come true.
Tumblr media
Trust in a higher power—COMBINED WITH:
Tumblr media
—diligence to do what’s good.
The Blue Fairy (higher power) gave Geppetto his wish specifically because he had demonstrated commitment to do good, whether he got what he wanted or not. The Fairy Godmother (higher power) gave Cinderella her wish specifically because she kept on being kind and good to low creatures like mice and wicked stepsisters, whether she got what she wanted or not.
Tumblr media
Do you know why that combo (higher power + diligence to do good) is impactful? Timeless? Important?
Because it’s selfless. You want something, but you’re not going to sacrifice doing the right thing to get it. You’re not going to focus so hard on making what you want a reality, on your own, that you miss out on things that could be more important than what you want. And, you’re not so self-focused as to believe that if you don’t do it, it won’t get done.
Jeez, that’s the whole point of The Princess and the Frog!
Tumblr media
Tiana wishes to have her own restaurant, and she believes that only her own hard work will grant that wish. She misunderstands her dad’s advice before he dies. She isn’t willing to trust a higher power combined with her own diligence to do good—she only trusts her own ability.
Tumblr media
It’s not until she realizes that Ray, the character of faith, was right all along that she learns—what she wished for was too self-focused. It wasn’t complete without love. Something bigger than herself. And getting that was never going to happen just based on her own hard work.
But you know what? It was never going to happen just by a “higher-power” flavored shortcut, either. Because Facilier offers her her wish if she’ll just trust him, no hard work needed. But what does she say?
Tumblr media
Trust in a higher power + diligence to do what’s right = selflessness, and getting more than you could have ever wished for. And if your wish is selfish, doing those two things will change your wish into something selfless.
Tumblr media
More examples? Get ‘em while they’re hot, in case Wish made you forget, just like the current #NotMyDisney executives have forgotten, what real Disney wishes are for.
Tumblr media
Belle wishes to have adventures in the great wide somewhere--but when she's imprisoned and that chance is taken from her it's not reversed because she worked hard to make her wish come true. It's granted because she gave up her wish for her father: she just did the right thing, regardless of her wish. And in the end, she does get what she wished for, which is adventure in an enchanted castle...and much more, because she gets true love, a throne, and a castle full of friends.
Tumblr media
How about the One Who Started It All? The one Wish is failing to pay genuine tribute to?
Tumblr media
Snow White wishes for someone to love her, and he does--but when they're separated, she does not exercise power to make The Prince come back to her. Instead, she loves who she can where she’s at—the Dwarfs. In the meantime, she has faith that he will keep his promise, and that pure trust in a higher power outside of her control is a big contributing factor to why the Dwarfs come to love her, and learn from her...and in the end, even more than she could've wished happens. He does take her to his castle, but she also has seven new friends who also love her, and the Queen is dead. And she didn’t need to use “the power in her” to work harder and get it done. She just needed to not focus so much on herself at all.
Tumblr media
How about a male main character? One who’s wish starts out selfish, but after learning to wish on a higher power and be diligent to do the right thing, gets more than he could wish for?
Tumblr media
Aladdin wishes to be somebody different (somebody he believes Jasmine could love, somebody who lives in a palace and is respected and “never has any troubles at all.”)—but doing everything in his own power for that wish proves that it was selfish all along; so he switches to doing the right thing, regardless of if his wish comes true, and he gets even more than he could’ve wished. He gets real love with Jasmine, he gets his friend Genie, and he gets to be free from feeling “trapped” because he doesn’t have to hide who he is anymore.
Tumblr media
Or Simba?
Tumblr media
Simba wishes to get to do whatever he wants as King—but when Mufasa dies and he’s convinced it’s his fault, it isn’t for that wish that he goes back to Pride Rock to confront his past and his Uncle. It’s because he had an encounter with a higher power—his father—that helped him to realize his wish was selfish all along. He gives up the selfish wish, and he goes back to take his place as king, not so he can do whatever he wants, but so that he can take self-sacrificial responsibility that comes with ruling. And because he just does the right thing, finally, he gets more than what he wished for.
Tumblr media
How about something more recent? Zootopia.
Tumblr media
Judy wishes to make the world a better place by proving she can be what she wants to be and catching bad guys—but when she tries to make her wish happen on her own, in her own abilities, she fails and is forced to realize that she should’ve been looking for help by understanding “bad guys,” like Nick. It’s only after she humbled herself, admits she’s wrong, and changes her wish from “proving I can be what I want and catching bad guys” to “proving that understanding each other makes the world a better place” (much less self-focused) that her wish comes true—and so much more. She does make the world a better place, and she does get to catch bad guys, but she also gets to befriend one who was a good guy all along, and become all-around more effective at her dream job.
Tumblr media
This is how Disney always has been. Because it’s at the heart of good storytelling, and even life (not to get too dramatic.)
The power is not in you. Because it’s not about you. Self-sacrifice, faith, and doing the next right thing regardless of if you get your heart’s fondest desire is what makes more than just your wishes come true. And there has to be belief in a higher power to make that message powerful.
Tumblr media
But Wish?
Not only is it bad at showing instead of telling. Not only is it lazy and soulless.
But it’s characters rip the Star out of the sky and say “don’t wish on this. Wish on yourself, to get what you wish for. You don’t need a higher power. You don’t even need to sacrifice to do what’s good—whatever you do is good, because you are the one doing it.”
That is wrong. That is not true, and it is not powerful. There’s no sacrifice in focusing on or placing your trust totally in yourself, and it undoes every good thing Disney has done up until now.
And it undoes it on the 100th anniversary, and it flaunts Easter eggs of the very things it’s undoing.

Nobody asked (me) for this, but here I come with my two cents:
Hot take: I don't think King Magnifico would be too thrilled about the idea of having children.
Tumblr media
Like, hear me out! I know we would like to think he's so kind and loving and everything, and if you have him with an OC or even with Amaya, we all would like to think of them as they'll have a happy merrier life, but let's be real: I don't think he'd have the goal of having children, and there are A LOT of approaches to that.
The first one, and just for our dearest Magnífico supporters/defenders: his trauma (hahaha)
He would be so terrified of the idea of having children and for them to meet the same destiny he did of losing their family and home, so he wouldn't be too thrilled or even take seriously the idea of having a kid.
As well, he will probably have a ton of nightmares about losing either his partner or the child. Like, this man has such a strong fear of being alone and would like to have control of things, but ofc some things are out of his control.
If parent 2 has female characteristics (sorry, I'm not native in English so I don't know how to get my point here, but I'm referring to if they can have children biologically), Magnífico would absolutely be scared of them getting sick or hurt due to the pregnancy itself. And let's not even begin with childbirth.
Now, to the points I actually wanted to make: why wouldn't Magnífico, personally, wouldn't want kids:
Tumblr media
As much as I love him, he's a (slight) narcissist. Ofc he knows he wouldn't live forever (unless the theories of him being already ancient and having extended his lifetime with magic are true) and that he need a heir to keep on with Rosas, and wouldn't absolutely trust anyone to that task, unless he gets to shape said someone.
Which would mean that he could be quite controlling with his child. I'm not sure if he would be either overprotective or just compare himself with the kid sometimes. That typical (narcissistic) parent discourse of: at your age I already knew how to do this and I did that. Blah blah, you get the idea. He wants that child to be good, but might be afraid it's better than him.
I'm also thinking he would also get slightly annoyed at times with the idea of not being the center of attention. Like, he likes granting wishes not only for how kindly he looks at the wishes, but also for the attention, he loves being in the spotlight.
He feels seen and loved by being king, so giving up that feeling would make him feel strange and unsure. He'll probs would have a midlife crisis not knowing what his role would be anymore after making one of his children the new ruler of Rosas, lol.
And probably would be slightly annoyed at times of having to share the attention of his partner with the child. He loves them dearly, but would probably get annoyed that a child requires so much help (cuz for his own trauma, he had to do everything on his own for quite a long time ago, and he would struggle to realise not everyone can and neither should).
Also, him being a slightly narcissistic parent would be such a sh*t show. Like, wow. He obviously wouldn't do it like actually meaning to hurt the child, but his expectations would absolutely be astronomical.
And let's be real: Magnífico isn't the most patient of people. He has, in fact, a lot of patience to spare but everyone has a limit, and a baby requires such a ton of patience. And let's not even begin with a toddler or a teenager.
I can already picture him having a lot of disagreements and heated discussions with his child about the wish system like Asha and Magnífico should've had, and Magnífico would snap at them, even if then regrets it. Parent 2 will have to be the absolute mediator in between them like forever.
Probs Magnífico would be a harsh parent. Not a bad one, but he will have high expectations and rules for his children. I'm picturing him to be like King Triton, so...
Tumblr media
CHRIST. I KNOW I MADE HIM LOOK LIKE AN AWFUL PARENT, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE. IM SURE HE'LL ALWAYS TRY TO DO HIS BEST, ALWAYS! But no parent is perfect, sadly. 😩
I could also make the other side of the coin: what things Magnífico would be thrilled about having a child, but in another time lol.

Disney's Wish poster redesign
The composition was referenced from Stardust (2007) poster because that movie is about the star character who falls from the sky and meet the main human character just like Wish's early concept.
