Would you believe me if I said all of these graphic novel adaptations (except for the whatever after one) came out in 2022?

Have you heard about Disney’s a tale of..?

It’s a perspective flip/prequel book series from the villains POV, only it makes them much more tragic and sympathetic.

For example, the first book, fairest of all makes the evil queen a victim of abuse and manipulation from her father (who is the slave in the magic mirror in this continuity) with a little help from the odd sisters, original characters who are Snow white’s cousins.

All this to say that if they made a tale of.. for Wish, it would just be everything the Magnífico stans/defenders are saying, like word for word.

Hi!

I just read up on a summary of Fairest Of All and it really is really interesting! I haven’t heard of the series until I got your ask, and I might get the Evil Queen book now because I love tragic stories that turn people into antagonists of another story. I don’t know if they’re canon to the movies, but canon or not I’d accept it whichever way Disney says.

Before I start, I’m just gonna say that I’m not exactly sure if you’re a Magnifico stan/defender or not, lol. I’ll just answer honestly as usual!

So regarding your last paragraph, I kind of agree with that. If there were a book for King Magnifico since he was Wish’s ‘villain’ then it could be similar to what Magnifico stans/defenders are saying. Unless they’ve got it all wrong and Disney was intending/leading it to something else, like his backstory being a lie (which is what I believed until the movie subtly proved otherwise). There’s still a chance for Disney to either divert his past story or put more into it, because they really kept it vague and only mentioned it twice. At this point, we can assume anything about him but we’d need to consider how honest he was with what he said.

For instance, in the graphic novel of Wish he mentions to Star on why it took Asha for them to meet or why wasn’t Star there when he needed him. Or how he put passion into his voice when he pointed to the burnt tapestry during that one scene. Those just tell us he has some sort of trauma that stemmed to his past, but the movie barely does anything to go into more detail about it. Disney knew that if it did, then they’d create another obvious sympathetic villain—but they already did that anyways. One hint at a bad past and you get a character whose trauma overwhelmed him to the point of doing villain stuff with an evil book (which is oddly similar to the Queen in Fairest Of All in a way). Then afterwards you get defenders and stans.

Which, hey, I’m a stan. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I would also say defender but not in an Asha is evil and Magnifico is a pure angel kind of way, personally. I wouldn’t bring one character down for another, because honestly the thing we should bring down is the bad writing. No one’s truly evil unless they’re taking pleasure out of being sadistic and intentionally hurting/killing others, and no one is a pure angel period. Asha’s a good-hearted girl who’s heavily naive, and Magnifico is a good man who lets his past haunt him to the point he commits to unreasonable decisions. Both are misguided. None of these make them a bad person. Just flawed—and that’s human. I suppose that’s why I love movie Magnifico so much because he chooses the worst decisions for himself out of pure emotion and desperation. That’s human! That’s relatable! And it’s fine, until they decided to not redeem him. They could’ve had a nice lesson if they did so, but anyways.

I just like to see every aspect, detail, perspective, and more before I decide to villainize a character (which is never) over the other or whatever. This isn’t targeted to anyone btw, I’m just saying my truth. Because in honesty, I’m tired of holding my tongue and trynna people please (this is a personal grievance- it’s not directed at you lol, I just wanted to mention it).

But anyways—again and finally—I agree that a book about Magnifico’s past could be what stans/defenders are saying. But it could also not be, because his past is so vague that it can be easily altered by Disney, its sole creator. Whatever they say about the character is the truth. If stans/defenders (me included) don’t like it, then we could just leave. We can’t deny the truth about a character that isn’t of our creation, but we can choose to acknowledge it or even dissect it to make it something more. And also not complain about it, haha. If the book were to actually be what stans/defenders say, then hooray we can celebrate I guess.

I don’t really care whichever way it goes as long as it is interesting and worth my time. I’d rather a unique investing story of a Magnifico book than a story that caters to and pleases my own interests (even as a Magnifico stan/defender and even as someone who’d like to see Magnifico rise up again and be proven as right with the movie product we have now), which is what I see a lot of people doing nowadays. I could elaborate on that but I don’t want to make this too long—

If Magnifico was telling the truth about his past and it is as traumatic as he says it is, then so be it. If Magnifico was actually lying about his past because Disney confirms it, then so be it.

Besides, Jennifer Lee mentioned in an interview that she could write a whole book about Magnifico’s past or just something about him that led him to who he is now. I hope she does even if she grossly gave a good man the fate of a villain’s. I’d give the book a chance.

Thanks for the ask! ❤️

I’m sorry I love this meme so much- it’s a running joke with my siblings. 😂

Part of Fairest of all I was excited about, was finding out how the queen became witch she was, finding spellbooks and learning spells...My biggest disappointment was the book not answering it satisfyingly, just making it Odd sisters (like everything in the book) "gift".

So I'm so happy Mirror mirror explains it more. :D

Fairest of all and Mirror mirror comparison based on unfinished audio book of FoA and reading of Mirror mirror.

The Queen doesn't have a name in FoA, she gets a name Ingrid in Mirror mirror.

Queen is a child of a kings mirror maker in FoA, in Mirror, she's daughter of a blacksmith and sister of Snow's mother/former queen.

Former queen is dead before the start of FoA, she has a character in Mirror mirror.

The king gets a character of being warrior king, good dad and really in love with the queen in FoA, when in Mirror, it's about necessity and king doesn't smile after Snows mother dies and is thought to be ran away or killing himself few months after.

In Mirror, king is alive but under a spell preventing him to return.

In Mirror, queen used a love spell to make king marry her, while in FoA, they really did.

In Mirror mirror, we learn about how queen Ingrid learned magic as an apprentice, in FoA odd sisters just give the queen everything.

Snow white calls the queen mom and their relationship is sweet at the start of FoA. (Thing I liked about it.) In Mirror, Ingrid avoids Snow white, it's implied because she feels guilty and inferior to her sister.

"Such a valuable human being." - ROBERT WOLDERS "Why did she become this icon of our most secret romantic notions, this Joan of Arc of the emotional world? It was the sadness in her eyes that said, 'I know. I know how it really is. Yet let me dream, let me be your Antigone.' She didn't adapt, instead keeping her dreams alive: the dream that one day her father would come back and pick her up in his arms, the dream that one day the soldiers would stop fighting and that the children would be safe, the dream that 'each child has the right to health, to tenderness, to happiness, to life.'" - SEAN HEPBURN FERRER

#happy birthday to my favorite human being!#my fairest lady always #if all else perished and she remained i should still continue to be 🤍#audrey hepburn #*
