Official Clip | I Decide What Everyone Deserves 

and come to think of it. he's right on that part

Magnifico said that people come to him because “they know” they can’t make their wishes come true. But these people are coming to Rosas with the hope of having it come true. Because they honestly think they can’t do it themselves. And what if some of them have extremely impossible wishes? That can’t be granted without magic? All the people of Rosas ever thought they knew was that they can’t make their own wish come true. That it’s always the King who is only able to do it. Yet he rejects most of them. And Asha is right about one thing. If he won’t grant them. Why not just give them back? Giving back their wish won’t grant it. It will return what was taken away. There is no reason to keep them in the castle.

​@@bravestraven4650Nice book

It's probably because a lot of people want a wish unrelated to their talents/skillset: "I want to be rich and famous, but I'm kinda lazy."

He’s right, if you think about it, on that part anyways. He does have a point.

Indeed. Every single complaint invalidated. I’m so happy and plan to be infuriatingly smug about this.

@@MegaTimmytommy While I'm disapppinted in the songs thus far (big fan of Disney musicals and wish that LMM, Stephen Schwartz, or the Anderson-Lopez team did the music), if the story is well-written, that's the most important part.

It was definitely edited. The trailer had Asha jump straight to "they deserve more..." just from knowing some wishes won't be granted. Here she actually follows up her line of questioning and we get to see how suspicious Magnifico's intentions really are. I have a feeling he's had lots of other interviewees question him before, and this was the last straw

I knew this was going to happen 😂they just wanted to call a black girl their usual afrophobic line-up insults when nothing about the movie is political, and they ASKED for Afrocentric haired princesses in response to Ariels hit release anyway 😆they just have a race obsession but say they “can’t see color.”

​@OpticalSorcerer the songs are solid just not on the same level as the og disney movies. But I'm glad disney uploaded this clip

Honestly it's fascinating that he shares this with Asha, who's either his new apprentice or there for an interview. I wonder if his feelings only developed after years of using his magic.

@@OpticalSorcerer I was thinking that too. Why would he tell Ahsa anything, unless he's trying to manipulate her somehow. In some previous clips it was revealed that he has fired previous apprentices. So Aasha isn't the 1st to be trained. Did he tell them this information too? I feel like he'd have to kill them lol

@@justicetilsher Or he just erased their memories. It's much easier, especially when he can make them blame themselves.

@@OpticalSorcerer Oh I didn't think of that!

@@justicetilsher Given Magnifico sees himself as a good person, it's likely that he isn't keen on killing, but manipulation is probably something he can deal with.

Even Asha admits that some wishes are too dangerous

​@@Jahof20s and she says that those can be stopped.

@@rafaelmartinez4803exactly. She recognizes that detail and that’s important

Wish! U have to work for what u want in life. This freaking wish is toxic n it’s unbelievable bad for everyone. How the hell it’s a valid point. Even some wish shouldn’t even be granted. U have to work hard for anything in ur life.

@@asifmetal666 and it ends with people doing just that. People working for their wishes. The only thing Amaya and Asha does is help people achieve it.

you are right ,But he also reminds me of the evil queen from Snow White, because according to him he has a magic mirror too, and uses witchcraft like her, he is also self-centered like the evil queen.

@@claudiaelvir2098 Yeah, definitely get Queen Grimhilde vibes from him.

And Dr Faciler and Gaston vines and Jafar

He’s pretty much a mix of all the villains prior , just like Asha is every princess from Snow to Raya mixed in one . That’s what they were going for .

That’s how most 20-30 somethings see the current generation of kids and teens. They gaslight them into thinking that because they are young, they don’t know any better when maybe the young people have a point in that the system the older generation are so keen on preserving is wrong. That maybe the status quo needs to change rather than just live in a system that is unfair and continues to be so.

In a way it’s almost racist how the white man is pragmatic and intelligent while the colored woman is naive and reckless

The only way that last argument would make sense is if he actually grants all wishes. Otherwise, as you said, only very few people would actually get conditioned because A. No one banks on a that small of a chance, and B. If not, then this would be an issue everywhere even irl, not just in that kingdom. People getting things granted without working for it is already a thing, whether that be through lotteries, or happenstance, but that doesn't really affect whether or not people pursue they're dreams.

@@user-yc5bt1fl6j I agree with you to a certain extent, but in your point A I have a comment to make: in Asha’s song about Rosas, where she’s selling the idea of the kingdom to outsiders, the kingdom is painted as a place where wishes DO come true, and they’re not necessarily told the tiny chance, and clearly there are people in the kingdom who do believe that because they gave their wish, and king Magnifico has the power, that their wish will come true because of it. It’s an ideal, yes, but it’s still unfortunately miscommunicated

No. He’s just a vain, entitled person. He sees himself as a benevolent king making his subjects happy when he is only making them complacent and ignorant. Sometimes, villains don’t have to be morally grey. His ideology is that of a control freak who thinks himself a god and thus looks at everyone like a child. Morality isn’t necessarily grey. Neither does that make it mature. Complacency is like depression and why it’s hard to get out of it. It takes effort to get out of something that you are comfortable, but not necessarily happy. The people of his kingdom are complacent, but because they assume he will grant their wish. They don’t realize they could potentially make their wish come true themselves because they believe someone will help them. Depression is a state in which you aren’t just sad, but you don’t want to do anything. You lie in bed for five, feel afraid to get out of it, can’t take a shower, and isolated yourself from others while thinking you suck. It takes works to get out of a depressive state, it takes work to get out of an unhealthy state of mind because it’s comfortable. It’s routine and thus comforting and thus takes effort to get out.

​@carsfan1995 1. Are you calling Magnifico's ideology black and white? I'm quite fond of the Gray-and-Grey Morality trope, mainly because it sounds catchy. 2. Complacency is often a person's downfall. How dangerous do you think complacency is in general? Do you think Rosas needs to be told off for their complacency? 3. For the first paragraph, are you saying the people's infatuation with Magnifico for his good looks and power is hindering their common sense?

@@carsfan1995 Bro, *you’ve completely missed the point* 💀

While it is a very fictitious setting simply designed to justify the king being a villain, it still kind of does make sense. If you think you can do it then you should just do it instead of relying on magic. Things that are easily earned tend to get forgotten At the same time, people’s incapability to reach their dream causes misery. Many philosohers have pointed this out While obliviating the unreachable wishes has its own point, all the king really had to do was to notify his subjects that once they give him their wishes, they are forfeit of their chances of trying it out on their own. This way the king becomes totally immune to any moral accusations

Except if these are things they can't achieve themselves, what good actions could they possibly motivate? Buddha himself said the source of pain is to desire something one cannot have. I think it all comes down to personal choice. Did people agree to forget this part of themselves, or not?

That is close to something that I'm guessing happens based on trailers, interviews, and the book versions. Simon wants to be knight so to capture Asha, Magnifico makes him a knight but the magic used to do that is green and the magic that was used to give a woman her Wish earlier in the movie was red, possibly hinting at some sort of taint to the Wish.

I can’t believe that’s Chris Pine 😂

It is a very flawed premise as far as I can tell.

Eh, it's mainly just Chris pine, she's good too of course but there's many parts that require either more or less emotion, and some that stay in the same tone when it shouldnt-its just a bit iffy.

@@joatgaming6999 yea It scares me that magnifico has such a wide control iver peoples dreams

The people criticizing it are from two "zones" as I see it: The first zone are those in the business/movie/streaming industry. It behooves the streaming services that Disney continues to fail so more people will stop watching Disney movies which might lead them to turn to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, appletv+, Paramount, etc. and tempt them into watching something like a Netflix made movie that would, if made by a big movie company, would cost audiences a fortune to see the movie in a theatre. (Think about how high ticket prices and concession food prices are..Ouch!!!) Disney fails continually=sinks deeper into debt=files for bankruptcy. And it can happen. NO company is exempt from becoming bankrupt. And that would benefit many industry insiders and their clients. This is a business that thrives on money. If Disney went bankrupt and had to give up everything and I mean EVERYTHING, can you imagine the bidding war that would take place between movie studios, business and such? Think on that one. As for the second zone, that is filled with some people who actually get sponsorship from certain companies with links to other businesses who aim is to bring certain people down, to destroy reputations and yes, to get people to not see particular movies. And some of ya'll can scream "Where's your proof?" Or "You're full of it? Or even " That doesn't happen." How stupid are you? It happens. Use your head. Dirty dealings are done in many job sectors. What would make you think it wouldn't happen in Hollywood? Heeellloooooo!!!!! Now these people who get these sponsorships are the mouthpieces for these companies and boy do they do their job. All over the internet you see these different folks on RU-vid trashing "Wish" because it's animation is off, it's pushing "woke" agenda, which is a laugh considering NO one has seen the whole movie so shut the hell up and other b.s. excuses. First off, there's nothing wrong with the animation. They've gone back to the 2D style they used I hits like "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," and "Aladdin." It's called "honoring the past which these fools know nothing about. As for the rest of the trolls, they just hate on Disney because they hate Disney! And they've got nothing else better to do. Do yourselves a favor my friends: Don't watch these vlogs. It's a bunch of propagandist b.s. so these RU-vidrs can get their money/sponsorship along with more views and subscribers. I've looked at other comment threads from the different sites where the trailer for " Wish" has been shown and most of the response has been extremely positive. At the end of the day, WE are the ones who count, the ones who will see the movie, not a bunch of haters.

​@@kateluxor2986Yeah, I'm not reading all that. But congratulations, or sorry that happened.

@@kateluxor2986 Jesus, how much time did you spend writing this 💀💀

Those people don't need to go to give their wishes then.. It's not the king faults

@@alexaalexa2308Pretty much. Asha is still being unreasonable, there’s just more words to it now. The King does a much better job explaining his point of view. And how exactly are unattainable dreams “The best part of yourself?” You can tell the actors’ tones are trying their best to paint Magnifico as a dismissive and inconsiderate bad guy here, but if you listen to what they’re actually saying, he’s absolutely right. Not everyone can or should have their way, and leaders need to make decisions for the many first and foremost. And guess what usually happens anyway when you no longer chase a dream? Over time, you can forget about it and/or lose interest. He’s just speeding things up.

Also one of those people who only grants wishes when it benefits him and only acts in the people's interests when it's convenient for him.

Carrie, you made it :)

Also, the shake in his voice as he finishes the statement *chefs kiss*. Super excited for this!

@@queenmal6487 oh hey yahaira!

Like a certain Parisian justice minister.

And in “This Is The Thanks I Get?!”, Magnifco says he granted 14 wishes the previous year, to which he claims to be a *high* percent. _2 extra wishes_ being seen as a “high percent” really accentuates the selfishness in his actions.

Also, Asha’s grandfather is _100 years old._ Who knows just how long he’s been waiting for his wish to be granted…

@@Jackie-McCann Exactly. I do wonder though what the townpeople are thinking about all this. They are aware only one wish is granted a month and I assume they know they will forget their wish if they give it to Magnifico. So, why is Asha shocked when she learns most wished won't be granted? They already know he only does one a month so they should be able to come to that conclusion on their own.

​@@creategenius719 They DON'T know that they will forget their Wish, Asha said "You won't miss it" in the song and here she says "You make it so they forget the most beautiful part of themselves. And they don't know what their missing", making it clear that until this point Asha (and everyone else) never really wondered why the Wishes were never missed. They likely believed they didn't miss their Wish because they knew it was with Magnifico and that it would be granted in time they just have to be patient. After all Magnifico is their "beloved King", he wouldn't lie or withhold information from them, right? Like how all the governments are absolutely 100% transparent with their people about everything that involves them, right. In "This Wish" Asha says "If I could show them everything I've seen/Open their eyes to all the lies, then/Would they change their minds like I did?", makes it clear that there is more than one lie Magnifico is telling the people which would match the idea that they don't know they will forget nor do they know that he will never give back the wishes that he refuses to grant.

@@1993digifan Actually they are informed that they will forget their wish; after the first song, someone asks Asha if you really forget the wish and she says yes. However, they were misled about all wishes standing equal chance to be selected and about the side effects of giving away a part of their soul (Simon was feeling the effects of a part of him missing very badly to the point that it made him act irrationally).

(Take this with a grain of salt as I haven't watch Wish but seen clips. I'm just pity no one reply on you) He's not great but a villain non the less. He seems to be toned down from what we're used to with Disney villains. He's not Scar, Jafaar or even Judge Claude Frollo. But in the end he's still a villain.

@@AfterthymeGamingI just watched it, he’s a pretty darn good villain, not the best but he is certainly a breath of fresh air compared to all of the other antagonists in Disney’s recent movies

Agreed!

Here, here!👍🏾

And she is NOT the villain like the trailer commenters were implying

@@lenirasusana5693 Yes thank you! got on my nerves

So does Magnifico.

We don't know for sure yet. It may sound like he's being greedy and power hungry, but he does make some terrifyingly valid points. Keep in mind that the movie's sole purpose for existing was to celebrate Disney's 100th anniversary. There have been some problems with that if you're a certain way (beautiful looking, white, and conforms to society's expectations), your wish will come true without having to put up all the effort. I think Starkid's Twisted explained this notion perfectly about how people really should be more mindful of the wishes they make. What we're seeing here is the perfect balance of a classic villain and a three-dimensional character with valid motives based on the facts presented to us.

Judging from the clip, I think he's trying to keep his people safe because they're too dependent on the king to grant their wishes. The people can't think for themselves so he keeps their wishes. I think Asha will be the face of change in the kingdom. I have a feeling the King will change too, so he's not entirely villainous as other pure evil Disney villains.

He's the king. I don't understand how the queen puts up with him.

Only idiots would think that it was clear as day that's what he meant and why she was so against what he was doing. I'm just glad disney released this clip so people could shut up about it.

⁠@@DrasticFox2004 Well he did say that people come to him to grant their wishes because they can’t do it themselves because “the journey’s too hard or it’s unfair”’etc. So if the people Rossa can’t and won’t follow or pursue their wishes and want to take the easy way out, then really they deserve to not have their wish granted if they won’t work hard to achieve it themselves! It’s kinda like how modern SJW and Z Gens are so entitled that they won’t work to make a living or won’t go to university or school to get the education to be a better person. They just want to take the easy route and have everything be given to them because they feel victimised or under appreciated.

Thanks! People are mixing animation with graphic style! You can dislike the style if you want, but the movements and the expressions are marvelous!

@@ninifish7528 Dude, I wanna prefer it now. It looks different, compared to the previous dozen 3D films that often get mixed reviews. *It looks artistic, and kinda less annoying. And I honestly love it.*

He says so in the clip. The people willingly give their wishes because the journey to their dreams is too difficult for them, and he makes them forget their worries. It sounds similar to the conflict of Inside Out, where Joy believed Riley had to be happy all the time (except Joy wasn't a villain, of course).

I think he uses the wishes as sources of power

@@Khadi-C You are so right! Interesting! I appreciate that he thinks he's doing them a favor.

@@Fleur__Delacour That's what I am thinking too

My theory is that it provides his power? A wish in itself can be powerful, maybe that plus the need for control and to also to stay in control.. that’s my idea really 😊

Exactly, like I don't understand how this new animation style for Disney can become so controversial, people said that Disney hasn't been experimenting with different animation styles that much while DreamWorks have, and yet here Disney is trying 2.5 D art, and people are getting upset at that? 🤦

@@SoelSofiaEloiseI don’t like big corporations but it is kinda stupid ..if they don’t go a new route, there’s people upset about it. If they do, there’s people upset about it. Can’t win lol

100% agreed. And even if Wish doesn't end up being a masterpiece, but instead a nice little 7/10 movie that tries just hard enough and doesn't have any questionable shit, I'll still be grateful it exists. Knowing how much Disney has gotten wrong compared to the things it's gotten right over the past several years, I do understand peoples' skepticism. That said, if something looks genuinely promising and has signs that it might be addressing their legitimate criticisms, that's when you gotta give the creators credit. Even if the end product does only turn out to be good and not great.

​@@SoelSofiaEloisethis is the same style they've been using for 10+ years now, just slightly choppier.

You just summed up his character very accurately. He tells Asha that he makes it so they 'forget their worries' as he said, but it's clear that he's just making it so that the people feel like they HAVE to rely on him.

except they do have the choice: as he said, he doesn't take the wishes from the people forcibly. They WILLINGLY gave them to him. They choose to part from them and give them to Magnifico. They made their choice and after that point, Magnifico can do whatever he wants with them.

@@thetwelfthdoctor9892 Not really. Him presenting his ability as a way to get your wish counts as manipulation.

@@TARDIgirl21 How is it a manipulation? He didn't say:" Give me your wishes and I will grant all of them". He said:" Give me your wishes and I will choose to grant one of them each month.". He never said he would grant all of them.

Why are you defending him?!

Honestly, that's why I disagree with people saying that Disney heroines have an "adorkable problem". So many people who are sick of this trope seem to be treating most of the characters that are like this like they're one dimensional childish morons, when the entire point to most of them is that in spite of their quirks and having a different wiring of their brains, they do have a mature, smart side to them and they just have a hard time using it. And by the end of their journeys, they do grow as people and become smarter and more mature, while still accepting their quirks and using them to their advantage. This is the outline for the story of Rapunzel. It's the outline for the story of Judy Hopps. Mirabel, Moana, Luz, Marcy, Anne, Molly, etc. Would it be nice if we got a main Disney character who is high strung like Tiana? Or selfish like Kuzco? Sure. But I'd argue that being quirky comes in all shapes and sizes, and I'm excited to see how this underdog grows throughout her story.

@@chloejoyhenry3137 the biggest part of the marketing of this movie is the fact that she is a Disney princess.

If your dream is something like flying, then that advice makes sense. He says (maybe not correctly) that people would only come to him if they didn't think they could achieve these wishes for themselves. So why shouldn't they give up on these dreams if the wish isn't going to be granted?

It Flopped Unfortunately! 😔

That's actually a really good point that I haven't thought about before. I thought they were trying to cover Asha's bases with that line so that she didn't sound unreasonable but even that's not good enough. Magnifico should have come up with this as a rebuttal: "Asha, if I were to give back every wish that I decided not to grant and they turned out to be dangerous wishes that I needed to stop, then I would have no time to perform my duties as king." While he's saying this perhaps he can use magical imagery of a mallet whacking one mole, then another, before they start multiplying exponentially and the mallet can't keep up. Demonstrating why it's best to keep the wishes that turn out to be dangerous as a preventative measure instead of reacting to all of the fires he'd be forced to put out on an ad hoc basis.

@@Quagthistle Exactly. And I’m glad Asha realized this. It’s sad that the people of Rosas genuinely think they can’t do it on their own. Who knows what the King has told them for years? And Rosas has people that came from all over the world. Who believed in the vision of wishes coming true. They came from many far away places. So one could argue that is their effort. Doing all of that just for their wish. But they are left blind to the fact that maybe there was a way they could have done it themselves. If Magnifico was good. He would look into their wishes. Guide them in the best direction. And maybe even use a bit of his magic to help. It’s ok to seek for help for your wishes. But you also have to put in effort.

Alright I'll bite. IMO, this clip doesn't make Magnifico evil. It's very debatable whether what Magnifico is doing is actually wrong at all. And even if it is wrong, doing one wrong thing like Magnifico is doing here doesn't automatically make someone villainous. Also, this world-building is starting to become very convoluted: So the King can take wishes, but with one (very, very arbitrary) catch - that person forgets whatever they wished for. The King can choose which wishes to grant, and this King (Magnifico) happens to grant only a small amount of wishes. (I still struggle to find how this is bad? If the people give Magnifico their wishes, and they know with full disclosure that they will lose their memory, Magnifico has no real obligation to grant their wishes. I also wonder if the movie will explore what kinds of wishes the people have, if they mostly are good or bad wishes.) But, for some reason, a star can fall out of the sky and automatically grant the wishes of anyone without any drawbacks or catches (seemingly). The reason I say this is convoluted is because this world-building of how granting wishes works is completely arbitrary and bad writing. I am struggling to find how this situation reflects the real world at all. Unless this movie is a very subtle critique of the concept of an all powerful, seemingly benevolent God. It's almost like this movie is pushing "The Problem of Evil" or "Divine Hiddenness" arguments against the existence of an all powerful, all loving God.

@@w.j.c.729 the thing is they don't know they will lose their memories, that's what Asha said. He is removing their option of choice and removing a part of their identity, since it's our goals and wishes for life that define us. That's what I understood from it, anyway. Maybe it's wrong.

@@mariamendes8343 They know that they will be losing their memories but they don't know that they will be feeling empty or incomplete afterwards and that Magnifico keeps most of the wishes for himself and only grants wishes that will be beneficial for the kingdom and most importantly for securing his position as king. Some wishes are ruled out from the very beginning just because Magnifico interprets them in certain ways regardless of what the owner of the wish intended. He also does it because in that way he removes part of their souls and prevents them from being rebellious.

@@vassiliapolychronaki1631 yup, I went and saw the film, so good! My hunch was only partially correct 😓

I got some big plans for him

If you ask me, King Magnifico is really Bob Iger in this form, picking wishes he wants best only for himself and viewing others as PROBLEMATIC as he does with the classics, willing to erase and destroy them at all costs.

@@Disneyfan82 Who nows, maybe it was a subtle dig at him from the animators. But I hear he's out in a year or so. I think it should be now, and he should give back most of the profits he undoubtably skimmed off the people doing the real work. If I knew voodoo worked, I'd learn it and curse him with lifelong poverty. See how he likes scraping the bottom of the barrel for even basic livelihood.

all of the other girls had that (mirabel and rapunzel especially) y’all just have terrible media literacy

Bruh literally every "quirky" character was both playful and smart. The only one I would say wasn't was Anna, but that was literally her character arc in the first movie, so yeah.

@@lilac3266 Exactly. People really do because ModernGurlz did a reality stupid video.

@@carsfan1995 literally like ofc if u put similar scenes side by side theyll seem the same. Now get a clip of when mirabel was arguing with her abuela and when rapunzel was arguing with mother gothel. “Oh no they both are feisty defiant girls they’re the same character” like do ppl not realize personalities have many sides? Did nobody take an English class in highschool??

I feel like the other "quirky" characters like Rapunzel, Mirabel, etc. knew when to tone it down and let serious moments play out as well.

Did you pay attention? They CAN'T go and make their dreams come true since as young as 18 they given him their Wish, lose their memory of what their Wish was, so they can NEVER NOT rely on him to make their Wishes come true since he took them as well as everything related to it and refuses to give back their Wish so that they COULD try making their Wish come true themselves.

Translation: this clip proves my narrative wrong but I don't want to admit it.

I think they felt it necessary to clarify the main issue

She had a good point: don't grant dangerous wishes obviously. But harmless wishes that won't be granted should be just returned to their owners. And encourage them to pursue it themselves. That's not an unreasonable suggestion.

@@TimberlakeTigerGirlTHANK YOU. Like people are completely missing the point

😂 micro agression calling a 17year old Lady. Little miss gourgeous and sweet Princess Asha, Asha, Asha. 😂😂

that's why I don't believe in god

@@aidanbarnes4290 that's a very sad reason. I'll pray for your conversion

You ever met that guy who never gave up on his dream of being a rockstar, but now he's 48 playing long-outdated music at a dive bar for a free beer, dreading going home to his third wife?

@@billowspillow Asha's grandfather is 100 years old and once he gets his wish back, he starts trying once again to write that special song. Besides, it is not up to Magnifico to decide when people should give up on their dreams as artists.

He did not. Magnifico said that he thinks the people of Rosas think they knew that can’t make their wish come true. And that they give it to him willingly, and then he makes them forget their worries. And that doesn’t answer the question. The people of Rosas go to him, because they truly believe they can’t make their own wish come true. All they’ve ever known was that he was their biggest hope. So he just didn’t even answer the question. Probably trying to distract her.
