So I've seen wish and I have....thoughts. The first and maybe most prevalent was that the movie felt disjointed. King Magnifico was an amazing complex antagonist for the first part of the movie. You can really understand and understand his motivations and why hes in conflict with Asha. You can tell he genuinely cares about his people and there wishes and "at all cost" was a beautiful song. You can see the hope and joy in his eyes when he sees that Asha seems to care about the wishes as much as him. Then for it all to flip on its head in about 30 seconds and him becomes evil just because. It felt lazy, rush and a disservice to his character.

I feel like this movie was already in the works and was being worked as a more complex philosophical movie, then corporate realized they needed a 100 year anniversary movie...they took over the script, changed the art style and shoved a bunch references into it. They knew people wanted a evil mustache twirling villain so they forced Magnifico into being one. This dumbed down the plot and with this Ashas character and argument. Adding all the new characters took time away from developing Asha and Magnifico again. There was no need for her to have 7 friends aside for the Easter egg, they could have legitimately cut all of them or leave like 1 and cut the freaking goat.

So to sum it up I think Wish was an interesting movie in the works and Corporate came in and wrecked it so they could have their 100th anniversary movie without having to pay a new crew.
