So Disney Just Hates Romance Now, Don't They? (Wish Re-write)

And it just fits so perfectly! A girl who loves wishes with a boy who is the embodiment of fulfilling wishes. Heck, they could even add a scene where Star confesses he's never had a wish for himself, and by the end, he says his wish is to be with Asha.

Still annoyed that we got robbed out a Villian Couple.

21:39 - If they made it so Star Boy doesn't have a perfect grasp on English (since he's not used to being on Earth and interacting with humans) and he keeps mixing up his words and saying the wrong things throughout the whole movie, having him be the one who says "Watch out world, here I are!" would have turned it from cringe to downright adorable.

They say the old school Princesses had no character. The old school Princes had no names.

You know what's pathetic? The gargoyles from Hunchback of Notre Dame contributed more to their story than Valentino ever did in Wish. They had to convince Quasimodo to go to the Festival of Fools, and, in the climax, had to help him fight off Frollo's soldiers who were climbing up the cathedral. Valentino did absolutely nothing in this movie to justify his existence. It also doesn't help that he was never funny in the slightest, despite Alan Tudyk's efforts.

My therapist once told me that "Love is not a feeling. Attraction is a feeling; Love is a behavior. Love is when you care for someone so deeply that you want to help them become better, and in the possess you might just find you've become better too."

I still don’t like the excuse of them saying the starboy would be too similar to the Genie.

It’s kind of sad that the original ideas for Wish are better than what we got. I’m always a sucker for lovers from opposite worlds and I think as Disney has made some of the most iconic romances in cinema, having one in Wish would have been a nice celebration of that legacy.

They could have "At All Costs" be Magnifico's villain song if he was singing it to his wife

What really annoys me is the fact that they said they scraped Starboy/Aster, due to him "being too similar to Genie" , when Genie is the only! other male, magical character I can think of, and they were created 31 years apart, but somehow that would cause them to have 2 too similar characters too many. But!, in the span of 54 years we have had 11! "fairy godmother" types of characters (4 of them being from the same movie! Fairy godmother from Cinderella, the 3 faries and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, the one from Pinocchio, Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone, The Evil Queen from Snow White, Mary Poppins, Ursula from The little Mermaid, the one from Beauty and the Beast) , but turning Asha into another fairy godmother type of character apperently was completely do-able and no issue at all!

I mean outside of Sleeping Beauty the princess HAD character even in the old Disney films. The story's were about them. Snow White and Cinderella focused almost the entire runtime w the female protagonist and it was the Princes who really didn't have any characters. If anything they were the prizes at the end of the story for girls.

You know that scene where the citizens are singing “This Wish”? Imagine that scene but Starboy is dying and it’s like the “I believe in fairies” scene from the original Peter Pan

You forgot Princess and the frog. It has a cute romance too 🥰The animation is beautiful, the villain is scary and entertaining, his song is great. I like this movie!

I was the world’s biggest Wamber (Ember x Wade) shipper last summer. I deeply related to Ember because my parents were Brazilian immigrants living in New York, and I was relentlessly bullied for being Brazilian. Then my partner came into my life and he changed me for the better. Elemental meant everything to me. Obrigado, Peter Sohn.

As someone who aren't much into romances, I had always expressed my thoughts that romance has always been an important classic element in Disney before Frozen and Wish should have romance as it's supposed to be a 100 anniversary celebration for both old and new. This video really speaks for me! Also I really love the idea that even the villains deserves their own true love were they don't care for any one else except for each other and share same sadistic interest in torturing other people. A cute Disney villain couple would be perfect for Wish were the queen could represent every iconic female Disney villain while the king could represent every iconic male Disney villain.

"princesses were treated as a reward for the prince" but that's such an unfare criticism though?? Even as a child i often felt it was the other way around. Who even remembers the princes' names? They are a "reward" for heroines for being such good girls😂

I had this shower thought that Disney technically succeeded in making an original fairytale because now just like any other fairytale, it will be retold in different ways. Sure where gonna have to change names to avoid copyright infringement, but the same characters having different names happens all the time with myths.

I really like your version of it. I would in addition also make Asha the daughter of King Magnifico and Queen Amaya. Not only would that acually give Asha royal status, But it would also make the story more interesting. We have seen Disney princesses with abusive and evil step parents. But never with biological parents. I Think Saberspark was the first one I heard come up with the idea and I approve of it.

At All Cost if used as intended could’ve been reminiscent of “A Whole New World” or “I See the Light” because not only would the song make sense and be more impactful. It could honor Disney in a way that’s not too on the nose.

First, love the new outfit. It really suits you. Second, It's such a shame Disney is so against giving their protagonist a love interest nowadays, and this film, a celebration of 100 years, was the perfect chance to bring it back. And you're right, Asha would've been so much more interesting if she had Star Boy to bounce off of and grow as a character with.
