I can see so many AMVs being made of the Starboy set to (fittingly enough) Starboy by The Weeknd if the original ideas for Wish hadn't been canned. Between it and having an evil power couple who are bad to the bone while still genuinely loving one another, I legitimately want to know who decided to can these ideas in favour of the mess we got.
Please do a one piece Fandom video I beg of though
Maybe the Starboy could have been a Little Prince type character, and shown Asha that wishes come true every day, in the smallest acts of kindness and that wishes don't need to be large grandiose things in order to be meaningful or 'worthy' of coming true, and that all important things, wishes included, should be viewed with the heart. And Asha could show him the beauty of being ambitious and wanting to change things, maybe tying that in with her magic sorcery stuff like "If I can make magic, then I can change things, make them better, shape the world and let it thrive!" And they could balance each other out. And there could be a moment in the final face-off between Asha and Magnifico where he could be like "If you stay with me, we can shape the kingdom, even the world!" And Asha and the Starboy could realize that all wishes are worthy, big ones, small ones, ambitious or not, and that one person shouldn't be in charge of saying whether or not your dreams are worthy of coming true.
@Trixabella87 definitely taking that into consideration for my own rewrite
You should totally do your own Wish rewrite video if you’d like
WE COULD’VE GOTTEN STARBOY
I LIGIT JUST MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THAT!!!!😂😂😂@AKid4U
WELL STARBOY IS YOUR PFP ( hello fellow crk player !!! )
@@ItzAudreyii hello to you to!
He looked and sounded like the type of character I would've LOVED too 🥲 (granted, I'm just a sucker for wholesome male twink characters in general, bonus if they're blonde)
I haven't seen Wish yet and I thought starboy happened in the movie... 😢
"People wouldn't care for a villain couple"
Tell that to the people who ship Maleficent with every villain who ever stood next to her.
*screams in Caster and Kuzuki from Fate*
@@kerahbundy5705 That's a reference I did not expect to see here. Well done.
Just goes t show HOW out of touch the Disney decision makers are.
Fans would go literally insane over a good evil villain couple.
Like, just picture them dancing around like evil Morticia and Gomez as they just _revel_ in playing with the magic they get from using the peoples wishes during an epic villain song??
@@kerahbundy5705yes , I love them
It’s in critically acclaimed adult “Disney” content like Daredevil and people loved it. It’s totally possible to tone that dynamic down for child audience
A Jack Frost looking, shapeshifting, mute prettyboy who falls in love with a black girl would’ve taken Tumblr by storm, especially if the song At All Costs was really supposed to be their love theme.
Missed opportunity on milking the twink mute boy. I would've worshipped him for a span of a year
Oh, you have no idea. Tumblr would’ve lost its mind.
the amount of cheesy AMVS, fanfics, and fanart would have been crazy, it would be Jelsa or Rise Of The Brave Tangled Dragons all over again 😭
at all costs has a demo version where it's "Love you as one does" instead of "promise as one does", we were so robbed. The fanmade animatics are amazing, so very amazing
We were robbed do hard! 😭
"We didn't make the star a boy cause he would look to similar to the genie"
Ah yes. Because when I see Aladdin's genie, I absolutely think of little twink love interest boy
"Oh but Asha being the younger Fairy God Mother and Magnifico turning into Snow White's mirror makes so much sense" -also Disney
@@100lovenana ...is that what happens in the actual movie? 😭 (I haven't watched it). If so, DISNEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING
@@mimicmey Yes, that is what happens
Their logic is so stupid because it would have worked as a nice subtle reference, unlike the on-the-nose references the movie actually has. Disney, hello? Star Boy could’ve been a nice mix of Genie and Peter Pan.
@@100lovenanawait what isn’t the fairy god mother white? What the hell were they doing? 😭
Starboy being mute could have also worked as a little mermaid reference. I imagine him being really curious and amazed at everything around him.
Awwww that’s a good point! I remember seeing this one animatic of “at all costs” where the star boy and Asha utilize sign language with each other, though I don’t think coley included it but it’s one of my favorites.
This is so cute, wish it was what we got 😔
I agree! They could have focused on his expressions being over the top for comedic value. It could have been great
YES and representation! even if he’s not human, u dont see many mute characters (let alone treated well)
im a mf starboy
Even though they said the starboy would be too similar to the Genie, I don’t think anyone would’ve minded!
the whole argument is actually kinda dumb, when you consider that the whole point of this 100 anniversary movie was for Disney to call back to it's own history, and therefore Starboy being similar to the Genie would 100% MAKE SENSE AND FIT IN. It's like the Genie, AND Tinkerbell AND voiceless Ariel from the second half of Little Mermaid rolled up into one Jack Frost-shaped shell.
Exactly who carries if he's a little similar to the genie Everyone loved the genie Plus a mute genie would have still been different enough to be their own character
Fr, they grabbed every dull archetype and stereotypical arc/development evern in their production, but somehow left out only the ones we would have liked
But that's a great callback to Aladdin tho
yeah people would have defended hard on that cause it makes sense. this movie is supposedly for disney's anniversary. why shouldn't it be similar to one of most iconic characters of disney?@@whatalsaid
You know that scene in Tangled where they say “You were my new dream” “And you were mine”? We could’ve had that with wishes
We could’ve had Asha at the end of the movie ask Starboy if he’s discovered what his wish is and he says “my wish is be with you” AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh my God
WE WERE ROBBED
Disney has messed up too much, their reputation is "almost" destroyed. Unless they make a revolutionary movie by this year? Inside Out 2 better be one of the greatest movies ever to top out what Wish could have been to a fandom
*slams fist on table*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHYYYYYYY *uncontrollable sobbing* TIME TO GO TO AO3...
They have set themselves up for failure. Wish was a failure, Inside Out was a very good movie but the trailer for the sequel had mixed reactions, and people are kinda shitting on the world building of Inside Out 2. Unless they do a REALLY REALLY good job and wow us with it, or shit out a masterpiece out of nowhere, Disney is gonna fall off.@@RandomCatFromFrance
"They are soulmates"
THEY ARE SOULMATES
WE WERE ROBBED
AND I JUST REALIZED:
IF STARBOY HAS TO GO BACK TO THE SKY BY THE END AND CAN'T BE WITH ASHA
THEY'D BE LITERAL STAR-CROSSED LOVERS
I said this in another reply section but imagine something even more emotional, Starboy gets killed by King Magnifico and says his last final words to Asha…angsty I know lol.@@LeoDBW
For the modern crossover fandom, obviously the shapeshifting starboy would've been friends with Nimona.
OMgg yesssss.
oh that's so perfect actually
YES. YES. YES. YES.
You could also add Camilo to the mix
@@HikariiDragonomg the shapeshifting trio 😭 i need the crossover PRONTO
wasted potential is the most frustrating and irritating aspect of any creative field and seeing Disney fumble the bag time and time and time again is so disheartening because we KNOW the team behind these films are SO creative and talented, they just never get the chance to truly shine cause of Disney's fear of making mistakes which then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy
Preach.
@@JustAFantasy2015 I would just like to say that I adore your pfp, Silver looks so cute!!
@@ballpitwater ur pfp is also cool :D
The higher ups need to stop interfering. We don’t care about the marketable plushies when WE COULD HAVE HAD BOTH STARBOY AND MARKETABLE CHIBI STAR. It honestly has to be marketing and executives and people in power. The creatives would never have this kind of fuck up if they let them do their job.
@@blanchebau8807 Thank you! Your pfp is also cute!!!
Him the second star to the right would have been iconic! The thumbelina romance would have been so Disney!
I’m so confused why they didn’t go there!
A lot of confusing decisions were made which made me wonder what the heck was going on behind the scenes and who thought this was the best idea.
Because Ray from The Princess and The Frog is already the second star to the right
1) They laid off half of the animation staff to save money so the corpos took over the rest of the film.
2) Two heterosexual couples in a Disney princess movie is not ESG friendly. If they want those government and Black Rock dollars they need to remove all romance unless it's one between two characters of approved identity groups.
3) Plushie toys are easier to make than prince dolls.
Because their path of wokeness stopped them.
@@alecperdeau650I don’t understand point #2. Straight romance is offensive now? Should straight women use the back door since they are apparently so disgusting?
I can see the climax of the film, villain couple versus hero couple, a dance fight of magic that turns into an actual battle... we could've had a love interest that was LITERALLY SENT FROM HEAVEN. A villain COUPLE. What in the actual fuck. A dance/fight duet. Disney's best composers absolutely going above and beyond. I will forever be salty.
Dude an AshaxStarboy animatic with the ballroom song from Brandy's Cinderella. "I have found her she's an angel with the dust of the stars in her eyes" It's literal them gender swapped omg
Stop 😭🤧
I can't handle this missed opportunity 😢
I WANTED STARBOY SO BAD!!!
A CUTE SPARKLY MUTE TWINK WITH SHAPESHIFTING ABILITIES???? He'd be so fun and expressive with body language like cmonnnn OTL
Imagine him getting too flustered he just POOFS into his cute star form to hide his embarrassment????!!!
This idea is a pure PERFECTION 💖😍🤩
WHAT THE HECK THE SHAPESHIFTING IDEA IS SO CUTE!! AAAAHAHAHAH!!
We really could have had it all…
that last idea is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD and disney could still sell the cute adorable star chibi plushies too!!!
@@auliamate EXAAAACTLY!!! What we could've had 😔
It's so ironic that Star could've been this generation's Jack Frost when Chris Pine is the voice of Jack and now Magnifico 😅
Oh the fandom would have run with this one, too
I cc and smell the magnifico redemption arc and parental magnifico
If Star was voiced by another voice actor than Pine, I can see them imagining the original Jack Frost (Aka Magnifico) going evil and try to destroy that "imposter" who is actually his and Sandman's lovechild.
@@missplayer30 Yessss that would be beautiful!!!!
Apparently it was Guillermo Del Toro that insisted to make Jack Frost hot. He knew what was up.
He's so real for that.
Wait, did he work on the movie?
@@blueflare3848 He was an executive producer
We love that guy
Isn’t Jack meant to be 14 💀
There's actually a deleted scene where evil Amaya chases Star and Asha, back when the star was a shapeshifter and presumably still a starboy (going off some context clues) and it's a fascinating dynamic to watch. Starboy is bubbly and energetic, while Asha is more serious and mature, trying to rein him in, and they bounce off one another very organically. And... it was cut...
Link?
@@blueflare3848It's unlisted, I'm afraid, because Disney are cowards, but... give me a moment. czcams.com/video/_CADSsgPDXg/video.html
Interesting, is this something that's included in the disc bonus features? Or is it available online somewhere?
@@ildikokremper5473 It's an unlisted video on CZcams, but I assume it to be on the DVD as a bonus feature.
@@SpiderkillersInc Would you mind sharing the link?! If it’s unlisted, I think the link is the only way for people to see it.
The deleted concept art has more fans than the actual final version of the movie.
Seriously, I've seen more artists and writers creating their own version of Wish based on the deleted concept art with Starboy + Asha than artists and writers dedicating their craft to the final movie. From what I've heard, most of them hate the movie and I couldn't agree more XD
Sorry this is off topic, it seems lthat i've see you in the other videos, i mean i rarely find you but when i look at the pfp it feels like I've seen it
genuinely hoping that this is the universe with the timeline that all these writers & artists team up to make their own indie version of it in the 2D animation style we deserve even though I know I’m being delulu & that will never happen. >>>
@@pleasepicture.me.in.thetrees Good news! Alicia and the Kingdom of Starlight! (Yt seems to have deleted a link from the previous comment, so just look it up right on this website)
I either see that, or a focus on Magnifico and Amaya. I mean, orphan who became a sorcerer and king beause of his tragic backstory, and is so devoted to his wife? People ate that up.
Do you see people talking about Asha? No! You see people talking about Pomni from Digital Circus and how freaking depressing she is! Do you see people remembering Magnifico and his villain song?Of course not! You're too busy blasting Mount Rageous from Trolls 3 on repeat and of how iconic the siblings are! Wish is only alive cause the fandom decided to take matters into their own hands and fix the whole damn thing and we salute them for their work! The Star Boy being a mute yet bubbly curious little angel could've been EVERYTHING!!!
THIS. When wish first came out I didn't even know it was out, I just found out due to the many videos of Magnifico's horrible song.
I relate so hard with only talking about Pomni and blasting Trolls 3 music. I can't believe Trolls managed to be more popular than the 100yrs anniversary movie Disney made lmaoo (and it's well deserved).
Also shout out to Journey To Bethlehem’s Good To Be King as an epic Broadway villain song from a musical!
I'm blasting that Brozone's back medley mix to full volume. STAYING ALIVE
@@AUCreatoer ikr?!?!
@@The1Dragonprincess ooh! I never heard of that but I love musicals!
Disney could’ve actually STILL had its marketable plushie with the canon Star, he could’ve been StarBoy’s little sidekick like Valentino is to Asha!!!
This movie was SO FUCKING CLOSE to being excellent I just can’t take it HNNNNGHHHH
God, I feel you. It was so close it’s infuriating.
There's another goat that was named Valentino in Cuticle Detective Inaba and he was the villain
Or have him turn into the star thing.
Or maybe have the star be something that StarBoy gives to Asha as a keepsake or smthing
Little fun fact. In the Guardian books, Jack Frost was also called Nightlight and was a star boy that protected the man in the moon when he was a child. He later changed into Jack Frost.
That sounds awesome. I love Jack Frost

@@zephyrias What Star Rail does to an MF (I am MF).
When I tell you Tumblr would've WORSHIPPED this movie. Starboy, the wish being lantern equivalent so we could've gotten another tangled moment, a new love song as memorable as I See The Light and Whole New World, first villain couple, callbacks to Disney movies, the angst that could happen assuming Star can't stay, a new AU about a star and their human being born & spreading to multiple fandoms, Disney/Dreamworks resurgence. It would've been WILD 😭
(Edited for grammar)
I thought I had gotten over this and then you went ahead and mentioned the host of AUs that would spawn and I realized that I am NOT over what we lost
i was HEAVY into disney/dreamworks fandom and was a big jack frost/rapunzel shipper so your comment and the video is making my chest hurt with middle school fangirl nostalgia
100% 😭😭
The Tumblr community wasn’t too happy with what we got so we took it into our own hands and started making rewrites based on the scrapped concepts. I haven’t started on my own rewrite yet but I have been reading all the other rewrites and looking at the fanart and they are so good, my favorite rewrite is by annymation
The angst is perfect as the ending for their love story. Don't get me wrong, getting your favorite couple separated is a bummer, but I think it's fitting with "star" shenanigans of this movie. Y'know, the term " *star-crossed* lover" 😂
They even screwed up their own capitalism by not selling simultaneous human/mascot shapeshifter merch!! And you just know that they would have blankets and bags with Starboy in various different forms as the pattern. They even missed out on CAPITALISM.....
Adam Smith doing an impression of Miyazaki: "Capitalism was a mistake"
See everyone one wants a Jack Frost type prince. I always thought of Asha and Starboy reversing the damsel in distress trope people always complained about about Disney Princesses.
Imagine how amazing Asha, the passionate sorcerer's apprentice, saving the magically space prince. JUST IMAGINE
I'VE ACTUALLY THOUGHT OF THIS!!
I want a SHAPESHIFTER BATTLE between Asha and the king! This is a reference to The Sword In The Stone, with the battle between Merlin and Madame Min. Perhaps Starboy is weak and he grants Asha the last of his magic because he loves her so she uses it to do an epic shapeshifter battle with the king! REALLY lean into the whole "love makes you stronger" message of old Disney movies as Starboy's love literally grants Asha her ability to shapeshift. And then Asha uses everything in her arsenal to save him.
I'm so unbelievably obsessed with the thought of the fairy godmother and the wishing star falling in love. That is literally peak Disney, and it fits so well. These two persons/troupes have been recurring things in all of Disney, and having them fall in love is just... so wonderful to me. It comes full circle and makes me feel just so warm and happy.
We could have references during the battle as well! Maybe Magnifico can have a dragon form similar to Maleficent, and this battle allows for a lot of tension and comedic bits.
Heck, you wanna go FULL Disney? Have Asha defeat Magnifico with a magic sword! Make her a knight in shining armor while you're at it!
Y'know the star that princess Tiana always wished on?, starboy could've been a reference to that omgosh Disney is so freaking stupid!!!
Yet another reference Disney had missed.
Dang, coley’s really out here posting videos for free, and she doesn’t even charge us rent
Best comment
This takes the cake lmao
Nice thing you did there :)
Your right! Coley really is posting for free, not even charging us membership.
This makes more sense than the original song
WE WERE ROBBEDDDD😭😭😭😭
But considering just how creative fandom can be when given absolutely nothing. I believe that in some deep recesses of archive of our own, there COULD be a starboy tag if ppl just started writing fanfics and created their own characterisations of his character that eventually everyone just kinda runs with based off of the most popular/oldest fanfic
We can even have that for the whole movie. Like a Goncherov situation, where even though the film technically doesn't exist, there are a series of events that happen in it that is so collectively agreed upon by the surrounding fandom that it becomes essentially "canon". Then with this "canon" in mind, the fanfics can spring off of that as they would with an actual movie.
I would gladly rise to the challenge of rewriting Wish WITH Starboy
Have you ever heard of the 2ps in Hetalia? It's basically just like that!
Disney saying the starboy is too much like the genie then making all of Asha’s friends the seven dwarves.
The thing I actually like about this backlash... Is how constructive it is. It wasn't people being negative just because, they SHOWED what they would've preferred. It awakened everyone's inner creativity.
It's kinda beautiful.
Hopefully this will be a good timeline and Disney will listen to the criticism and keep it in mind for it's next Disney princess movie.
They literally could've had a "you were my new dream" moment in this. I can't believe they struck GOLD with the concepts and used NONE OF THEM. it makes me sad thinking about what could've been.
That would've been very romantic and l haven't even watched the movie yet but
It sounds like there were some very largely missed opportunities there
Starboy being vaguely similar to Genie:
Disney's executives: THAT'S ILLEGAL
Asha being a lesser Mirabel, who was already a lesser Moana, who was already a lesser Anna, who was already a lesser Rapunzel:
Disney's executives: THAT'S THE SHIT! PITCH!
Mirabel and Moana are nothing like eachother?
Anna and rupunzel comparison makes sense but Moana and mirabel are both pretty distinct from them
dont diss my girls Mirabel, Moana, Anna, and Rapunzel like that; they're all very different and all equally strong characters and all equally WAYY better than Asha
Yea.. I ain’t gonna let that Moana jab go
Moana doesn't belong here. I think people only include her, because her face looks like Mirabel and Asha, but personality wise, not at all alike. Mona + Mirabel could probably be alike tho, but all together?? Nah
Now I can´t help but imagine Starboy telling Asha "You were my wish", callback to Tangled.
Right!!!! Didn’t Disney notice ANYTHING when Encanto came out and people were being practically insane for Camilo???? Did they learn nothing?? It was right there.
Tbh a mute star boy sounds like an homage and blending of the Genie and Tinkerbell, and I would've been so there for that.
And don't forget Pinocchio's fairy!
She's literally a star who becomes a fairy in the cartoon.
It could have referenced SO MANY THINGS
@@muzzycosmos9400 Ur right! It could've been a full circle thing!
I feel like for their 100th anniversary, they SHOULD have assembled ALL of their great music makers. (Lin Manuel, The people who did the music for Frozen, Alan Menken, etc.) Like, if they were gonna "assemble the Avengers" THIS was the moment to do it. Instead they got...Julia Michaels?
What's even sadder is they barely told her what the movie was about and gave her 3 weeks to write musical numbers even though she was a pop song writer
Throw in some collaborations with Elton John and Phil Collins and the soundtrack would’ve slapped so hard
Give Sting their chance to shine after their music wasn't used in The Emperor's New Groove, being relegated to a spot on the album ost
Oh so she was just screwed from the beginning too. Did Disney even want this to be a success?@@ichangednametoamorecringyo1489
@@ichangednametoamorecringyo1489they didn't tell her what the movie was about because they didn't knew what the movie was about lol
This reminds me of how there was supposed to be a spin-off off the Tangled series, “Varian and the Seven Kingdoms” with everyone’s favorite character, Varian. I remember the animatics and comics flooding in when Disney decided to not do it; the fans created the story themselves. Disney keeps on making bad decisions AGHH!!
I bet it's because Disney didn't want to make a TV show were the protagonist was a boy. They're going for this fake "progressiveness" by putting importance only on female characters, while not putting actual effort in writing good stories and characters.
I still stalk that fandom for new works. Cant get enough. The writers on Ao3 make their fanfics so convincing, I sometimes forget it's not canon.
I've never want a movie to be remade in my life. I want someone to make a petition and ACTUALLY remade the film.
Ugh! Same!!!
Ao3 Disneys harder than Disney and that is a timeline I'm comfortable living in.
It is an interesting thing when a fandom has more creativity and originality than literal professional scriptwriters.
In other news, water is wet
Remember that a lot of these fan works are based on things that were CUT from the movie. I believe this fumble was caused by executive meddling and not a shortcoming of the writers and artists.
Corporate Disney didn't want to push boundaries like they were once known to do and decided on something bland and passable. Something marketable.
How they managed to even mess something that lazy up is beyond me.
Nah, the creatives behind this definitely had something going. It's the Disney execs who wouldn't know a thing about creativity that messed this up by putting their grubby money-hungry hands on this instead of letting creators do their job.
@@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816 i read something about how the songwriter (Julia Michaels? Julia Fox?), who typically writes pop songs, was NOT in the writers' room. she wrote the songs quite literally in a vacuum and had no idea what the movie was about. Like typically Disney songwriters are with the movie writers in the writers room, and i feel it explains why the songs from Wish feel so mediocre and vague, its because Disney quite literally didn't let the woman writing the SONGS FOR THE MOVIE KNOW WHAT THE MOVIE EVEN WAS!!
As much as I dislike MLB, the fandom is pretty creative, I'll give them that.
They could've easily used the marketable plushie star as the form that meets Asha in the beginning before studying her and shifting into Star Boy. EASY!
So many potential memes about this situation - Goncharov looking over at Wish like "first time?"
Or the winged lesbian angel chick rescuing the girl from the rubble, labeled "Wish concept art" and "Wish fans."
Or fan-artists eyes reflecting Starboy's concept art and then pulling on the Infinity Gauntlet saying "fine, I'll do it myself."
Are you talking about mercy from overwatch 😭😭😭
@@icantthinkofanything798 OMG yes, I had to go look it up on know-your-meme, but yeah that's it! XD I don't KNOW that she's an angel lesbian, but that haircut, ya know?
An idea I conceived for an wholesome ending between Star boy and Asha, is that he’d be asked during the film if he’s ever had a wish of his own?
He’s never thought about it, but by the end of it, he finally knows what he wants the most. To be with Asha, but because he has to fly amongst the stars to maintain his duties, his wish grants Asha golden fairy wings which she can call upon to see him, so they can dance amongst the stars together 💕
Oh my goodness, that would have been so wholesome!!
it could also be that he wishes to be human, to stay with Asha
@@TheAkwarium true, but I prefer it when the lover doesn’t have to change race/species to be with their significant other. I think it’s more magical that both get to experience each others world and therefore broaden each others horizons being true to themselves 🙂
@@lauraroberts3520 oh yes! I understand I like that too (my favourite movie is Princess Mononoke, where the protagonist doesn't try to change the woman he loves and accepts her for who she is), but I thought about it as in a callback to Disney's Hercules
@@TheAkwarium yeah that’s fair 🙂
Disney is just not the bees knees right now.
Lmao!! X'D Your comment made my day. X'D
They deserve everything that's coming to them after cancelling The Owl House. I'll never forgive them and I'll be as petty as I want
😂
Right you are, buster.
So true! Now Disney’s a turkey.
The movie proved its point:
"We don't have to depend on anyone to make our wishes true. We are the ones that make them happen"
Disney will not give us our story worthy of it's 100; but we as artists and fans can make it happen by creating this AU what if's.
Hazbin Hotel is practically an official tv grade series, with recognizable voice actors! They're doing better than a corporation, so why not? More creators should come together and make something actually entertaining again.
They wanted a plushie? have scenes in which the shape-shifter starboy becomes his marketable plushie self by: being sad, sneezing, being spooked and bumping in to a door. There, make money, I want 20% or the profit, 10 plushies and a bodypillow.
Them saying the star boy would be too much like the Genie Is just an excuse for their lack of creativity. Like this is such a different character type that no one would have complained. Considering the excessive amount of references that were shoe horned in, this would be the least offensive call back/ reference.
LIKE IMAGINE all the subtle call backs to classic Disney Romance scenes. Maybe they fly through the clouds in a shot similar to the magic carpet ride, or dance across the woods like the scene from Sleeping Beauty Or he spins her around like Ariel and Eric at the end when she has that fabulous purple dress. Like COME ON?!!
ALSO Speaking of dresses…
GODDAMNIT she should have had a magical dress transformation/ power up that mirrors Cinderella’s dress transformation. It was Walt’s favorite scene of animation and it’s criminal that they didn’t do it for the 100th ANNIVERSARY. Like first of all LITTLE GIRLS LOVE PRETTY MAGICAL DRESSES, it would have been amazing from a financial perspective. Sell those princess dresses! Secondly, Asha’s dress is pretty, but not Elsa level “oh my god I need to wear that, she looks so cool!” Little girls wear Belle’s yellow dress not her blue town outfit even though she wears it a majority of the movie. They had to change Ariel’s dress from the pink to Teal to make her stand out more in the line up and have something easier to wear than the Mermaid tail dresses. Point being, Asha doesn’t stand out as much when they already have a princess with a purple dress. Her dress really needed to either be accented with another color, or just have a different silhouette since Rapunzel’s is also an A-line purple dress with long sleeves. It’s so simple and generic. Asha could have been like dark and light blue with yellow star accents! Pulling from the imagery of Mickey’s Sorcer’s hat but also honoring Snow White the og princess.
It would've been really cool if her dress became a Moroccan-inspired gown with constellations as decoration.
Omg yes why didn’t she have a dress! Most of the movie doesn’t even take advantage of the constellation blue and gold style that has become popular
I think modern Disney hates romance when they scratched the original concept
They got beaten by lizard Adam Sandler!
I think they shot themselves in the foot by denigrating the idea of romance for their female leads for a decade at this point. It's good to have protagonists who don't need romance. It's fine to stand strong and be fulfilled without romantic love. It's good for aro/ace representation. The problem is that Disney went about it acting like the simple idea of romance is somehow a weakness, that a girl finding true love is somehow a bad thing and less empowering, and because of that spin on it, going back to a princess movie with a romance at its heart would feel like regression. Like going back to something they have labeled as inferior. In a perfect world, we would have had stories of solo princesses and stories of romances existing side by side so both ideas can exist as equally strong and beautiful things. Because they are.
It reeks of misguided corporate threat modeling to me. "Oh people kept criticizing us for giving all our female protagonists romances so the only way to avoid backlash is to not write romances anymore". Nevermind that the *actual* criticism is that sometimes they felt forced, were totally unnecessary and/or distracting from the story and especially the female protagonist's agency/journey, not that people inherently hate romance arcs. I suspect they didn't greenlight the idea of the Queen being an antagonist for a similar reason; "we've received criticism for how we've written female villains in the past, so the only solution is to not include an evil lady in the big celebratory movie". Which, again, is a gross misrepresentation of what the criticisms are actually about. No one is saying "female villain = misogyny".
The concept art we have alone reveals that many talented artists who probably knew that they had something worked on this project. What most likely happened is that since it was a milestone movie for the studio, higher-ups with an out of touch understanding of Disney discourse took a squat over the artists' vision to make it as inoffensive as possible, thinking it's more "marketable" that way- because wouldn't it be embarrassing if the movie meant to celebrate the studio ended up flopping? (lmao) I just hope the artists who worked on that concept art are having the biggest "I told you so" moment rn.
But didnt we got elemental?
@@IceFireofVoidPREEAACCHHH!!!
@@Simbala-bq5vyPixar. Different studio.
seeing the og design of the star boy gave me depression because at that split moment i realized what we could have had and what we lost ... bless the creative people tho that are feeding us well
The fact that Jack Frost was a nightlight in his original stories aswell 😮
AAHHHH THE CROSSOVERS 😭😭
That’s exactly what I thought of when the Starboy concept art came out. Nightlight from the Guardians of Childhood books is literally a mute star being who protected his charge (Manny) with his life, befriended and grew to love a sweet gal named Katherine, and then spent years living through multiple human lives until finding his way back to his magical family under the ‘Jack Overlander Frost’ identify.
If DreamWorks really wanted to deal some great blows to Disney and make RotG fans really happy, they should totally capitalize on Jack Frost being Nightlight (or possessing a piece of him) and add in the book elements like the Fearlings, Mother Nature, and of course Katherine aka Mother Goose. Give fans a few pointers and a week or two, and they’ll totally come up with some great ideas 😁
@@jendoe9436so he's an Imbibitor Lunae of some sorts?
@@raisou9750 I’n afraid I don’t know that reference and my general Google search did not clear anything up for me, so sorry that I can’t provide a definite answer.
I will say that with Night Light, he took on the role as Manny’s guardian when the later was a baby, then when the Fearlings started taking over the universe Night Light took and protected Manny while his parents ended up perishing in an attack. At some point, Night Light fought a formerly decorated general who became possessed by the Fearlings and ended up trapped for years when the beings crashed to earth. During that time, Manny lived on the moon with other creatures and kept a look out for his friend/guardian.
Eventually the book’s story catches up where Pitch (the corrupted general) escapes his imprisonment and Night Light also re-appears, though has some memory troubles and questions himself and his place as his friendship with Katherine deepens and Manny no longer needs his guardian as much. He disappears during a later battle and goes through hundreds of years of disguises and lives until, like I said earlier, he finds his friends again and decides he does want to pursue a deeper relationship with Katherine, and the story ends with the two holding hands and vowing to be there for each other and the children of the world.
So does that sound like the person/title you’re thinking of?
@@jendoe9436 Sorry if the Imbibitor Lunae reference caught you off-guard but the storyline kind of reminded me of the Imbibitor Lunae from Honkai Star Rail, as they are both powerful beings guarding something or someone powerful, The Ambrosial Arbor for the Imbibitor Lunae, the Baby Man in the Moon for nightlight. If turn-based games are your thing, you may like Honkai Star Rail. I won't reveal the current identity of Imbibitor Lunae if you haven't played yet.
If a love story is done well, it can turn out to be the best thing in a movie, fantasy or sci-fi or anything. People who hate on love stories just don't understand the actual impact that connecting with someone can have on a character's journey. It's the best trope that can make or break a character
I think people hate on love stories because so many of them are intrusive and poorly done. A good love story is fantastic. A good love story doesn't take away from the character arcs or worldbuilding, instead it expands on those things.
I don't want lovestories shoehorned into storylines.
And I finally want sweet friendship moments between genders and of the same genders without weird ro.antic or sexual tension. For me genuine good friendships in stories are usually the best thing. Because mistly, they don't get interrupted by unnecessary drama.
@@TheElfchen1 that's hardly the point I was trying to make. No need to force your opinion/hatred onto my own take
@@TheElfchen1 No matter what gender the friendship between the two characters are, social media (And fandoms) will never let them be just friends, heck, even if the two characters barely interacted or hate each other, they still force us to think that there is actually something going on between the two.
That’s why people love Jane Austen so much. Well done love stories that actually are written well and female characters with depth
Disney could've had it's own Jack Frost?
2 quick things
1: apparently, there was also an idea for Asha to be the princess of Rosas. So there also would have been a great conflict between parent and child. Especially the Father daughter conflict, which we don't have many examples of in Disney.
2. That thing you said with jack frost singing, I kind you not I found an animatic of Jack and Elsa singing At All Costs, and it was great.
Wish and Encanto would of %100 been a thing, not only because Encanto blew up in 2021-2022 but also because of the whole wish candle. I can definitely see people making videos of the star boy being the reason the candle turned magical with the explanation being "The star boy granted Abuelas wish via the candle and protected them t'ill the very end" or something like that
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - really does feel like Dreamworks dancing on the coffin of what Disney once was. A powerful man who collects "magical icons" and doesn't care about who gets hurt, or what's lost in the process... who wants it all... and in the end, is a star that collapses in on itself.
The one detail that is important to hold onto for all movies going forward is that they simply are often no longer specifically made for a US audience. Disney and every other major studio has to sell to china and other major audiences from conservative countries, without outright spitting on the US audience. Looking at the original art, they were likely hoping people would latch onto the cutesy star, specifically kids
Mute starboy. Silly Disney missed the mark by making it a round star thing
And the worst thing for me is They Could Have Had BOTH. Maybe the Luma is his favorite form besides Starboy, maybe he uses it to hide cause it's smaller, maybe he uses it to act cute when he annoys Asha, maybe Magnifico captures him and tears out a bunch of his powers and he's stuck as a Luma cause he's weak??
Maybe he meets Asha as the Luma and only transforms into Starboy to spook her as a prank, and then eventually stays more and more as a boy cause she takes him more seriously that way??? (Cause let's face it, she's not even gonna consider the idea of a date with a tiny little star mascot)
So many missed opportunities.
Still can’t believe Disney fumbled the ball this badly when dreamworks of all people are going hard
Fans really said, "FINE, I'll do it myself."
I LOVE IT!!!!
I agree though, ROBBED!!! ROBBED I SAY!!!
Wish is a great example on why fanfiction is necessary; literal wish-fulfillment. It helps salve the disappointment. Not only that, but see what could've been and make us flex our own creative muscles to see what would've worked and learn from what didn't.
Some tweet post said it best; this felt like a product instead of a movie. Disney sees something to sell without a soul and run by corpos. It does *not* look good when everyone and their mother prefers what was left on the cutting room floor instead of the final result.
The Starboy and the little round star could have happened with a shapeshifter. The fat little star could be one of his major forms, with Starboy being the other.
Maybe as he slowly starts to like humans, he begins to become more human.
Exactly. Starboy could've shapeshifted into roundstar-plushie many times in the film, that is a good enough excuse to put Star boy in the film while STILL having a marketable plushie.
Dang it Disney...
@@100lovenana Word, in fact it would make it possible to market both.
@@TheMimiSardThey basically had a two-for-one deal and threw it in the trash.
Not being an avid Disney fan but hearing secondhand how Wish robbed us all of mute, shape-shifter, second-coming-of-Jack-Frost Starboy is a painful and disappointing experience. I'm not even in this fandom, yet I still mourn. (obviously being hyperbolic, but it always sucks to see wasted potential)
Me initially hearing reactions to Wish: oh, so Disney shit the bed on this?
Me hearing more and more about Wish: Oh. Disney so shit the bed on this.
Disney: A little chibi Star? Nononononono, he was supposed to be a shapeshifter, bubbly and Asha’s love interest.
Star: I COULDVE BEEN A SHAPESHIFTER???
Disney: We made concept art! But we decided it was too much like the genie.
Star: I COULDVE BEEN A SHAPESHIFTER????????
no but seriously they could’ve made him like bug from starship and he would be the cutest thing ever
Ducktales reference...😢❤
From what I saw, the star's appearance was the same as Asha's grandfather. ☠️
STARKID!!!!!!
You know. They couldve kept the Chibi star and made it the starboy's pet.
We can't have a shapeshifting guy in our 100 year anniversary movie making references to old movies! The only Disney movies with shapeshifting in them have been:
Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, Brother Bear, The Emperor's New Groove, The Sword in the Stone, Pinocchio, The Princess and the Frog, Brave, Raya and the Last Dragon, Turning Red...
Imagine Asha having an internal conflict with having to choose between the person who she loves (Starboy) and fullfilling her parents' (the villian couple) wishes!!! That would be so interesting to see, basically a Romeo and Juliet plot but with a Disney flair!!! Why is Disney corporate so deeply afraid of good and interesting stories?
One of my favorite parts about fandoms is when the fans take the story when we are left with nothing; something similiar is happening in another fandom I'm in where some fans started a project to write and create seasons 4 and onward after Netflix showed no interest in greenlighing another season of the show and it is honestly just as good as the actual show, if not better.
Fans are full of creativity and passion, and if they're committed enough, they can remake an entire movie that'll do a much better job at celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary.
What Netflix series fandom is it?
Waittt her parents wouldve been manifictp and amaya… i always thought those werw her parents when i saw the fight scene for the song…
😂 until I watched the movie she isnt…
Theres a lot missing wish… this star boy thing is prolly why
as someone who's a part of the maurauders fandom, don't give up girlies, in 2-3 years you'll forget the actual plot of the movie and the fics and animatics will have become canon enough for you all to be able to gaslight people who've never seen the movie into believing it's actually great.
You mentioning Spiderverse has given me an idea for a Starboy spidersona. Sparkly black and golden spiderman with glittery webs that trails stardust behind him when he swings.
Fanfic writers will make him turn up in stuff anyway. It only takes one cute picture of Starboy holding back Tinkerbell from glassing someone in a bar and it’ll take over the internet.
I would commission the shit out of that if I had disposable income
Funny thing: there are at least two "re-animate Wish" fan projects going on that I know of xD
If at least one of them reaches it's complition, that would be awesome!
Could you name who’s making them? I would love to check it out!
Same
@@ryanbond3677 huh, weard, I just noticed that my reply didn't get posted!
Here is the answer again, over a week later xD
I only remember one of the chanels, since I actually followed it to watch the progress. That channel is "Pinkiemachine Studios" and her project "Alisia and the Kingdom of Starlight", becouse she obviously couldn't name it "Wish: the rewrite" for copyright reasons xD
Pinkiemachine studios is actually remaking wish right now, she’s hosting auditions for voice roles and everything. It’s really cool
They wont get in legal trouble with disney?
@@klltsun_2576 I was wondering the same thing.
No, she changed the name and she made a video addressing what she would do if it happened
Possibly unpopular opinion; the 100th anniversary movie should’ve been a mass crossover movie of all the Disney Canon. Maybe a group of villains threaten the heart of storytelling. Instead we got Wish and Once Upon A Studio.
Not unpopular. What you're describing sounds like a large-scale Kingdom Hearts. Interestingly enough, tons of people were also saying a KH movie would've been better than what we got. They aren't wrong 😮💨
@@DJSenpai17 I would be totally down for a kingdom hearts movie! That would’ve been awesome
@@DJSenpai17 Yeah, but Kingdom Hearts has the Final Fantasy crossover element to it as well as happening during the original stories. I was thinking something more like House of Mouse, where it’s only the Disney Canon characters, and it happens after their movies have concluded.
@@WhiteRaven696 ah, I get it. Would've loved something like that. House of Mouse used to be one of my favorite cartoons
Sounds like the plot of the Fantasmic show
17:01 Black Leah's animatic has me thinking three words: "twinkling star freckles" :3

As a crossover title I imagine "Across the wishing Encanto-verse"
Moana’s Frozen Tangled Wish in the Encanto

MoCoWiLuEn... EnWiMoLuCo... MELCW?
Coco Luca Moana Encanto Wish??

His Majesty Magnifico and the Mini Measly Ms --- starring Mirabel of the Madrigal Family, Moana of Motunui, Ms Motorbiker Marcovaldo, and the Mythical Musician Miguel of Mexico
Tenants of the La Casita Palace (lmao this is fanfiction au material already)

PS:
- wi for wish
- mo for moana
- lu for luca
- co for coco
- en for encanto
seeing my fanfic pop up in a video is so surreal 🤧 even though we’re small and disorganized i love the tiny wish fandom that we have. ofc it would’ve been better if we had our starboy but the creativity of the fandom is really inspiring
the way I slammed my fist on the table when I heard "they are soulmates" 😂. It's another thing that made me think "how did you mess this up so badly"
Have you heard about the Luca fandom blowing up after the story lead (and the director of the Alberto short) posted her Luberto ship art online? Its the closest they will ever get to being canon 🤷🏻
They were still kids so I won’t complain but boy ran in the rain with an umbrella to deliver the bike so Luca could finish the race. They are destined for marriage in my eyes 😂
I saw the concept art with the star being a love interest for Asha and Queen Amaya being a villain along with the king and I thought it was much more interesting. It could be a tribute to Disney classics. I imagined it like this: an evil couple with the king and queen against a good couple "Star Boy" and Asha, I could imagine scenarios like this;
King Magnifico would be the more active and aggressive villain while Queen Amaya would be the more manipulative and cunning of the two, and they REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER, they wouldn't stay together just for convenience, but because of their real and mutual love for each other, but they would still be just as nasty and mean as any old Disney villain. By the way, King Magnifico has the green color scheme for his magic so the queen could have purple colored magic, that way we would have the classic Disney villain colors, green and purple, but separated, as there would be two villains now, also the The villains' song could be a great duet with them singing and dancing and acting loving towards each other as they sing about the nasty things they have planned for the kingdom and as this happens purple and green magical lights dance around them to the music , showing that they are in complete sync, this musical number could be followed or preceded by a musical number by "Star Boy" and Asha with the golden stardust that appears in the concept art, dancing around them in time to their music, basically showing that the villains and the heroes are mirror images, they are in love, they want to achieve something, but due to their mindset, moral compasses and desires they are completely opposite.
That's really creative and actually complex and interesting while sounding Disneyi
Apparently he kinda actually appears in the movie [not as the chibi star]. In the ending, there's a character that wears peter pan costume which only appears for 5 seconds. someone said that guy's model is made from Starboy's concept design and it REALLY looks like him but with different color palette and costume. Im fucking jumping out of a cliff.
Picture this, a crossover of shapeshifters: Nimona, Alberto, Camilo and Star boy
Who's Alberto?
@@jusu00017from Pixar's Luca

WE WERE ROBBED
We should have a Goncharov/ Ba Sing Se moment and just rewrite reality.
Singing goat? Good Amaya? What are you talking about? Anyway here’s 600 Stasha gifs
I think Disney is going to end up failing at movies altogether and only become a theme park company because this is the only thing they’re still good at.😅
The theme parks aren't even that good either, Disney right now thrives off of it's own nostalgia but even that is bound to dry up when the children of recent years don't have any Disney media to connect and make memories with. And I couldn't be happier for that 😂😂❤
As someone who went to disneyland and California adventure in 2022....
It's vastly different from 2017 and was only moderately fun compared to 2017... it's absolutely unfortunate.... it was worth it but it just wasn't as fun as it use to be and the lines are awful and fast pass became genie+ which was the worst decision ever (it also costs twice as much as original fast passes did)
@@LucasSantos-ss6outhe only good thing Disney is goof at is with they're games
Starboy and Asha could've been the perfect girlboss x male wife couple
If Disney wont give it to us, we’ll simply make it ourselves 🫡✒️
I'm not only disappointed but absolutely ashamed of what Disney has become. The only good thing Wish did was inspire others to become creative and make a better version of the movie that was supposed to celebrate a 100 years of creativity, magic, and imagination.
Even in Tumblr there are a bunch of rewrites, currently following and not only does it fix the songs and story, but did the references SOO much better.
From what I've seen, there is a fandom for concept Wish right now, it's just too spread out from a lack of content to work with. I think that if we could get more big projects that cover an entire potential story (storyboards, re-writes, animatics, ect.), people could latch onto something and build from there before interest dies down.
Walt Disney had once said: "I learned from Pinocchio; always have a love story". Since Pinocchio pretty much bombed, and his fantasy romance movies really never did.
19:23 funny you say that.... Im already seeing several creators banding together for that exact passion project and I have a sneaky suspicion a few more are going to crop up...
Wish and PiB: The Last Wish could have been an EPIC crossover fandom. We’d add others, of course, but the fallen star they’re all looking for could have been where Starboy fell or it’s the source of his powers on “earth” (the planet) or really anything. It could have been great.
That was what I was waiting for when I heard and saw the previews of Wish. I was hoping for more crossover fanarts between the two and how they're compared to each other, being a Disney and Dreamworks movies (Similarities and comparisons are inevitable between their movies). In fact, I can defintely consider those two movies as the new answers to each other (Alongside things like Bugs Life/Antz and Finding Nemo/Shark tales).
The mute star boy and Asha, and the villain couple would've been the best thing that happened for the 100th anniversary!
Edit: We could've had a handsome star boy and a great plot for a movie, BUT ONLY IN OUR DREAMS. 😭😭😭✌️
Why...why the fuck did they cut it! 😭
This is why Concept Art is important
“At All Costs (Demo)” is the only song from Wish I listen to on Spotify fr 😭
Seriously, I know that Wish is for kids, but FROZEN HAPPENED TOO!!!
Like, we could've had something like that where in the beginning/prologue when Asha is a little girl, she meets star and we see them secretly play in Asha's bedroom like in Tinkerbell. Star would be his baby plush form and I can clearly see the little dude being a good friend to her, giving her advice and such, kinda like how Chibi-usa gets advice from pegasus.
And the fact that the original art mentioned that the "language of the stars" was SIGN LANGUAGE has me thinking that Starboy would teach little Asha about that language in a fun and wholesome way, in return, Asha gains a newfound friendship and maybe a bit more confidence as I feel like she'd be more introverted and shy in my eyes which might be why she acts awkward in the movie. Plus, she could just be that ADHD rep. Just sayin'.
Gonna go a bit further and say that maybe after little Asha goes to bed, we see the Star glow and transform into little Starboy, though he would definetly be a little older, almost like the big brother that Asha never got. Perhaps, he makes a promise to her, a secret wish of his own to protect Asha from anything that harms her and sings to her about how she should keep dreaming, even when things get you down. Cue him humming "a dream is a wish" or demo "At All Costs" as sparkles of stardust/pixie dust gently fly around her bedroom, to her ears sounding like fairies as she smiles for the first time in her sleep. Maybe baby Valentino cuddles up with her just for the sake of cute factor, and Starboy placing a kiss on her forehead.
And after the sparkles fly out of an open window with Starboy following it, CUE THE TITLE IN A BUNCH OF SWIRLS!!!
However, for Asha as she gets older, Starboy becomes a fever dream memory that gets blurry, until one night, she makes a wish and sees her long lost friend again.
. . . . . . . . listen, Disney pisses me off sometimes.
Edit: plus, after the movie we could have like a Sofia the first/Tangled/Enchanted Journey/Kingdom Hearts/Kilala Princess manga type of spin-off series where Asha and Starboy end up going on adventures with other disney characters (or kids in their worlds like Ariel's daughter Melody or the Encanto grandkids) to help them grant their wishes or encourage them to make a wish.
I really like this one
But that’s the thing Disney was never meant to be just for kids. Walt aim was always to create entertainment that could have been enjoyed by both children and adults hence why we still have such a mass following of Disney as adults. Disney just really lost it roots trying to please everyone 😢
And this attempt to appeal to everyone has little to do with actual leftism, and/or the actual concept of being woke as originally defined in AAVE, it’s all faux social liberalism/progressivism hiding the capitalist tendencies of a company that leans more to the right than Americans dare to admit, (much like the supposedly far-left/socialist/communist Democratic Party which is in reality a centre-right party at best.)
And in response to the original commenter that both you and I are reacting to, I like the idea of the platonic almost familial version of the humanoid Star over the demands of other people who feel robbed of romance, (romance is not the only thing that makes the world turn in my book metaphorically in my book, platonic love is just as important as any other.)
I second this
The evil power couple having revise of "chi-chu face" from Chity chity bang bang where they keep trying to kill eachother and its just their love language
We could've gotten a Hannibal × Will type dynamic where almost killing each other is flirtation 😔
I was thinking the same thing glad I'm not the only one
@animewarrior08 i dont know if disney owns that film. But it was written by Roald Dahl and Ian Flemming and Disney are cowards for not referencing it
@@jim-bob3093 I don't believe Disney owns it but that would be epic to see it though
HEAR ME OUT, a shy, curious, pretty, mute boy who's fascinated by passionate Asha while she helps him learn compassion and what it is to be human and together they find out what wishes truly mean. *Inhale* AHHHHHHHHHHH. LIKE IMAGINE THEM BEING ALL CUTE AND PLAYFUL 😭😭😭😭
Crossover idea: The starboys power takes the form of a glowing dust when it touches the earth, creating pixie dust.
OMIGOSH YES
We were so robbed and the change must've been so recent/last minute during scriptwriting because why is the only catchy song in the movie the romantic duet song between the MC and the...villain? It's supposed to be for Asha and Starboy, that's why it was written so well! The other songs don't hold up to it at all and some sound like they're trying to rhyme for the sake of it.
19:14 HELLO??? I GOT LEGIT CHILLS??? *Head in hands* I love everyones creativity, but it only also makes me depressed over what we could've had.
Well, after finding out they have the original version of the movie we want somewhere at Disney, just in animatic form, I'm part of the growing movement for Disney to release it, even without the animation. It's like the Snyder Cut event. Just like the Popeye movie got released.
I saw two scenes from it, the original was SO MUCH FUN.
If they had gone with the evil couple and the starboy x Asha concept we could have gotten some neat parallels between them like imagine Asha and Starboy sing at all costs together and later you get a darker reprise sung by Magnifico and Amaya. Or have Magnifico and Asha still be the ones singing except they sing about their respective love interests.
'mute magical being that comes from the stars and is a fish out of water' feels very Fifth Element too
This is one of the few times where even if you haven’t watched the movie yet, you can tell they completely sanitized something that could’ve been a true tribute to Disney’s legacy, both the classics and the modern age.
If I rewrote Wish, I would have had Asha be a shy and introverted girl who needs to gain confidence. As the recently-appointed apprentice of greedy immortal rulers Magnifico and Amaya (whose secret is that they lure stars with wishes and kill them to absorb their magic, simultaneously explaining their immortality), she’s too scared to stand up to them when she discovers they aren’t the generous wish-granters they claim to be and no one really believes in her until she wishes upon a star for someone to help her save Rosas. Enter Cosmo, the shapeshifting starboy who learns about the beauty of humanity’s simplicity and sees the untapped magic they possess. He grants the friends’ wishes while Asha tries to uncover Magnífico and Amaya’s secret. Asha falls for the one person who sees her as capable of saving her kingdom (cue At All Costs demo), and the friend who betrays her does so because he has an unrequited crush on her (basically being a Gaston/Hal Stewart fusion). And of course Asha would revive Cosmo after the final battle with true love’s kiss, I have so many ideas yet so little but this comment is getting long so I’ll stop here haha
I'll bet her unrequited crush is mad about Cosmo helping to make her into a more confidant self assured person because he preferred Asha as this meek, submissive girl who'd never talk back.
@@MadameTamma Oh definitely! He likes Asha the way she was, “sweet, innocent, and quiet”. The minute Cosmo enters the picture and she begins changing (for the better), it only goes downhill from there.
@@MadameTamma and, he wanted her to stay that way to manipulate her and make her vulnerable so she'll always stick with the guy or possibly girl if thats what the og person was going for(it would've been a way to tell kids in a way doing that or having that experience shouldn't happen or is safe)
So basically the team understood how fandom works, and were like, "Listen, this is what you need to make ot sucsessful."
And the higher ups went, "Eh, just play it safe."
