Thread 150076168

Saw that this piece of shit finally got its graphic novel adaptation that nobody cared about, and it landed with a wet fart.

Had nothing better to do this afternoon, so let's have a storytime and piss on the grave of Disney's 100th anniversary.

Bump if reading.

Yes, the first page is just a purple void. The comic doesn't start til page 2. No foreword or contents page. Don't ask me why.

>>150076174
>anything is possible
Bring back your lost youth, grandpa. Come on.

Please remember how idyllic the kingdom looks when they try to convince you later that the king is wrong.

Now we introduce the McGuffin the writers came up with because they realised Magnifico was too sympathetic.

It's like two different people wrote Magnifico's character.

So for those keeping count, Magnifico's diabolical scheme thus far is... utilising his authority as ruler of the land to not give one family what they want.

Remember to bump if reading, anons.

The marketable sidekicks will continue until morale improves.

Asha will now attempt to conscript her friends into her treasonous intentions and illegal breaking and entering.

>>150076313
>can Star grant wishes?
>no
But it granted the goat's wish to talk, so what the fuck.

>"my people, there is a grave threat to the kingdom"
>"HURRR GIVE US MORE FREE STUFF"

Bear in mind that everything Magnifico does from this point onward is controlled by the book, which is supposed to justify his schizophrenic writing.

Possibly the lamest plot twist in any Disney canon film.

The friends have switched from distrusting Asha to agreeing to take down the king in one (1) page.

Does the pacing feel to anyone else at this point that they realised they were running out of pages and had to get to the end faster?

>>150076408
The comic omits the incredibly stupid detail from the film that there's this 'magic oil' the queen puts on their hands here to protect them from being turned evil by the book.

Oil that the king had in his study, and did not use for some reason.

>>150076408
>It's not falling if you jump!
Try telling that to the 43%.

Whoops, didn't mean to (You) myself on the previous page. My apologies, anons.

THROW HER OFF THE FUCKING TOWER, YOU MONG.

>we are stars
Except the shitty song explaining this was excised from the comic so this has no setup. Well done, writers.

Will I reach the end before the thread 404's? Only time will tell.

And so this was all an elaborate power grab by Queen Amaya, who immediately installs herself to power and shows no remorse for her husband of many years being eternally imprisoned.

The end. What a miserable pile of manure.

Thanks to any anons who read along. It filled a bit of my time.

You beat 404, yay!

>>150076584
By a hair. Thanks for stopping by anon.

>zero interest

Don't really know what I expected.

>>150077598
lmao, nobody even cares enough to hate it

>>150076168 (OP)
So…was the comic version any better than the movie?
Why didn’t they even attempted to fix what was wrong to begin with?

>>150077625
This dead horse has been beaten to a fine paste.
100 years of Disney animation comes down to the cinematic equivalent of a wet fart.

>>150076422
OK, I've got to watch this movie now. That sounds too stupid to pass up.

>>150077685
No, if anything it's worse because it skips entire scenes and makes the king's characterisation even poorer.

Why did I read that. Didn't even have proper feet pics.

>>150077720
It's eternally mystifying that Disney didn't see its' 100 year anniversary coming and scrambled to get something out instead of, ya know, making something momentous with a lot of effort.
Fucking food companies give more attention to their 100 year anniversaries' media output than fucking Disney did.

>>150078507
Mickey's 100th anniversary is also coming

It was boring, not as boring as the movie, because somehow it feels shorter.

>>150079305
>it feels shorter
Because it skips like a third of the movie's scenes.

>>150076199

>>150076168 (OP)
If only there was more Parody comics that play and feel even having the same art style like/of an average Disney Graphic Novel (like this one) or a Story in a Disney Princess book but the only parody part is a small scene in the comic, as I remember a Beauty and The Beast comic that was just like that where the suggestive or Parody scene was Belle Naked in the Shower and Cogsworth telling Belle (who is now in her Infamous dress) that there was something on the floor

>>150076422
Huh, don't recall that detail.
Then again, I probably didn't pay that much attention.

>>150080401
Sex with Asha and the middle left girl

>>150076523
>Wiithin a year the people of the Island were all enslaved on a Tangiers galley.

it is still a bad story. king had good motives to keep everything under control but his past remains omitted with details deliberatedly to still paint him as a villain. Asha does not comprehend how wishes are something that should carefully be considered but of course if we ever saw a wish being used ill-inteded then the king would still had good motives complocating that element of having a villain. If the studio were smart, they could've make the king be a stand in for Yensid while Asha being Mickey except we have the reveal that there was a greater evil waiting its chance to use those powers and after solving it, maybe the king trusts Asha to handle all wishes from now on but not the kingdom

>>150081556
That or just have the king do something blatantly fucked up like forcefully removing wishes to power his magic. Wishes should have magic power and taking away a person's passion is inhumane.

>>150076239
I’m adding this next filename thread

>>150076234
How did he reach that conclusion just because her gramps wanted to create songs?

>>150076254
He could've been more diplomatic, but as far as being a monarch goes, it wasn't really trully villainous, perhaps just kind of douchey.

Personally, I don't see much reason not to give the old man his wish, unless he saw something bad in the old man's songs. He is old and not long for this world, why not grant him the wish? It would also give a nice message to the people, that it is never too late to have dreams and all.

>>150081556
>If the studio were smart
we would not have this movie/comic

>>150076168 (OP)
>>150076523
>>150076530
Alright, having read the comic (but not the movie), I sort of get what they were going for.
I guess the point of the story is that everyone deserves to have their own wishes, be them something simple or grandiose, and that at the end of the day it is mostly up to them to hold onto those wishes and have them become true, instead of having to rely on others to grant them for you.

But I dunno man, it sort of feels forced or something, like, the kingdom was fine, the people were happy, nobody in decades seemed to have a problem with how things were going. Was it really necessary to do all of that? It's not like they lived as slaves in squalor or anything, things looked good.

Yeah the king seemed to be sort of douchey, but historical kings were often much worse. At least the dude took care of the kingdom and granted wishes to people.

>>150076504
>>150076514
>Man in power bad.
>Woman in power good

Isn't this just reframing centralised authority as good and progressive under the caveat that a woman is the one holding all the power?

>>150082920
>Yeah the king seemed to be sort of douchey, but historical kings were often much worse. At least the dude took care of the kingdom and granted wishes to people
The people who write this kind of thing down know anything about history.

I genuinely had no idea this movie even existed
Why does it feel as if it was made with the sole purpose of being forgotten

>>150076168 (OP)
jesus the art is really ugly

>>150082920
You have hit on the same criticism everyone walks away from this movie with. The conflict only works if viewed through an incredibly childish "first world problems" lens. Most normal people would gladly give up one (1) wish for a lifetime of security and free housing.

>>150082338
If you do, PLEASE shit on OP to the best of your ability. OPs of /co/ filename threads are extremely annoying unfunny children or mentally ill people who refuse to acquire self awareness.

>>150083202
There is a theory (of fact?) that the script was AI slop with minor adjustment by actual monkeys later.

>>150083552
Writing by committee just closely resembles AISloppa

>>150076254
>king does not grant the wish of the family that tried to manipulate him into doing so by working for him
>somehow he's the villain

after reading all that, it makes me so much more upset that we didn't get the original version
>star was going to be a magical prince who kisses asha at the end - but we cant have that, straight romance is problematic
>king and queen were both unapologetically evil - but we can't have that, female villains are problematic
>it was going to be more like the classic Disney movies of old - but we can't have that, the entertainment of the past is problematic
basically, what we got is the end result of wokeness

>>150083751
He is the villain because he makes many evil faces for the camera.

>>150082920
It's crazy because
>the king had like, UNLIMITED WISH POWAAAAR
>learns about a wishing star falling nearby
>MUST HAVE THAT POWER AT ANY COST, EVEN IF I HAVE TO APPEAL TO THE BOOK OF ETERNAL DAMNATION
Also yeah, the king is corrupted and imprisoned forever out of nowhere but oh well, what's his wife gotta do, gotta enjoy being queen

>>150083552
People thought the songs were written by AI

>>150084126
That is almost definitely the case.

>>150076168 (OP)
I never saw Wish, but I am surprised there wasn't more porn of the main girl, since it seems every disney/pixar instantly gets thousands.
Thanks for the storytime

>>150076168 (OP)
Very deserved flop, thanks Anon.

>>150082382
Besides Disney's Aladdin, you need to be VERY clear of your Wish because 9/10 you gonna get fucked by it.

I still can't get over the fact that in the movies he said he granted 14 wishes the previous year. That's not being stingy, that's reckless and excessive.

>>150076171
Fascinating

>>150084760
Maybe ten of those were for himself

>>150076168 (OP)
shit movie

You can tell it's bad because there's no porn of Asha getting raped

>>150076254
I mean there is a way more obvious way to make this more dire or wicked.
Hell you just have to look at Lex Luthor in Superman Secret Origin, where Lex was basically worshipped and hounded by people who wanted to be licked like he was a science business miracle worker (just like he wanted to be). This just seems like a watered down version of the same concept.

>>150088537
>who wanted to be licked like he was

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3YL062XLw4

I can just picture the Disney heads slamming their heads against the wall trying to understand what made this film do everything they were hoping Wish could achieve

>>150076530
What a piece of crap.
And with how short it was and a lot of the comments it was clearly bery abridged from the movie.
I am curious about some of the wishes that the comic never brings up. Like surely some wished for a loved one back to life or for wealth. All we got was "grandpa wants to play the guitar and that one gets to sew dresses".

>>150084760
I mean the wishes shown to be pretty weak and fairly acheivable. One guy just wants to be a knight, one girl wanted to sew good, the mom wanted her daughter to be popular or happy?
2 of the 14 wishes were probably a big tasty meatball.

>>150080401
I remember her friends being in the movie but I don't remember anything about them

>>150088859
I remember the chick who was still crippled, I guess she'd be a threat to the peace if her leg worked well

>>150089247
I'm goin to hell for laughing at this

>>150088698
Sony hired pop producers to make pop songs, Disney hired pop producers to make Disney songs for some reason.

>>150090240
Close, but not quite.

Anon...... you are not wrong.

>>150091508
>>150091579
Didn't they just have another one with the kid and the alien?

>>150091701
Home was remembered maybe for a few months.

>>150091710
I just looked up Home and that's not the movie I'm thinking of. It was just in theaters

>>150091723
Oh, that one had a super forgettable name. Sometimes good movies are given shit names by producers, unfairly. But this is a marriage made in Heaven: boring fucking film with a boring fucking title. MAYBE it's Eli. Maybe.

>>150091779
It's Elio

>>150082382
I think the implication is that he saw more of what the wish is instead of just him playing on an ukulele. Something like a voice "I want to inspire people" speaking in his mind
the visuals are more for us than the characters

>>150083202
Okay I just watched it and holy shit that was bad
There's no way this movie wasn't made as a cautionary tale of corporate greed
Also the diversity checks were so on the nose I'm starting to suspect there was an infiltrated /pol/tard in there

The only relief is that, like most of modern media slop, it will only take 20-30 years until every trace and sign that this movie existed will be erased from Earth

>>150090198
>Sony hired pop producers to make pop songs
honestly, the songs in K-pop Demon Hunters barely qualify as pop.
The only ones who I personally think sound like pop are the two Saya boys songs(the second one is more of an 90s boyband pop song, as back then they didn't shy away from making their songs sound dark despite romantic lyrics)
"How it's done" - more like rock and rap
"Takedown" - diss tracks are not really part of the pop genre
"Golden" - very typical musical "I want" song
"Free" - romance song, also very typical musical
"What it sounds like" - once again, climatic musical song. You would never hear this kind of song from a pop girlband.

The difference from this to wish is very simple: These sounded good with a lot of variety. Even if you don't like this or that song, the chance is that there are two or three others you would enjoy. That is the secret to most successful musicals: variety.

>>150091814
>The only relief is that, like most of modern media slop, it will only take 20-30 years until every trace and sign that this movie existed will be erased from Earth
Ironic that all the anti-piracy hunting will make sure that happens even faster.

>>150088814
>One guy just wants to be a knight, one girl wanted to sew good
These are things you can reasonably learn how to do, even if you aren't necessarily a hereditary knight you can learn swordplay and riding.
The people seem to have a lot of time on their hands, it's not like they are shown tending animals or harvesting crops or working a trade at any point.
Fuck in real medieval Europe a lot of times Men at Arms also had a trade or owned a pub because there isn't going to be war all the time.

>>150076171

Oof, the goat joke totally lost without audio.

>>150091508
I finally took the plunge to watch it on D+ a month ago and I think my lowered expectations made it more bearable. It wasn't awful but just not that interesting.

I did find it interesting my boomer mom noticing all the diversity in it "so a black wife and a gay son? Huh..."

WATCH OUT WORLD HERE I ARE

>>150081556
Replace Magnifico with Disney Executives and wishes with film and TV pitches and it makes marginally more sense.
But the answer isn't to just try and achieve your dreams on your own (go indie) its to continue to give your pitches to Disney because now women are in charge I guess?

>>150076287
That last panel feels like what parodies used to think Disney movies were like.

OP here. Nice to see some people still reading this turd. Forgot to mention as part of the deal I also got the Zootopia graphic novel, I think they're distributing it to drum up hype for the sequel? Anyway, thought I'd do a storytime of an actual good movie if anyone's interested.

That could have been the queen if the exces weren't so hellbent on not portraying women as evil.

Now, please post the only good thing from this massive nothingness, our grand majesty: KING MAGNIFICO

The second biggest waste of potential that year for animated films
Happy 100th anniversary Walt
