Apparently The Hater's New Favourite Argument Is - "Magnifico Maliciously Hoarded The Wishes On Purpose

Apparently the hater's new favourite argument is - "Magnifico maliciously hoarded the wishes on purpose and made people forget about it for funsies, only so he could have power over them, because he's a vicious powerhungry dragon, who only cares about himself."

Oh really? Tell me, where did you find this bombastic knowledge of human nature? In the garbage bin?

Next time there's a discount on compassion and common sense, I'll make sure to notify you! It's very hard to get these days!

Not only do these people not listen to what Magnifico said, they make up reasons that are nothing but lies.

So, recap on what Magnifico said!

"I founded this kingdom so there would be a place where everyone is safe! No one should ever have to see their dreams getting destroyed before their eyes!"

Everything- Everything I do is to make sure that never happens again!"

Not that he solely built his kingdom because he cared more for the wellbeing of others than his own! And that despite the fact, that his trust in humanity has been shattered.

The cherry on top for me is to hear haters leaving the Magnifico hashtag because they cannot handle seeing us defenders taking over 🤭

I'm pretty sure they decided not to add this scene to the final product just because of Magnifico's exposed chest. You won't convince me otherwise.

Even if he had become a real monster in the original, it would have been much more interesting than what we got - the punishment of a traumatized person who, in fact, did nothing truly wrong.

HATE when people explain the fear in Magnifico’s face as the wishes leave him and are set free. It’s not ‘oh no my powers lost 🥺’ it’s an ‘oh god what am I doing? Fuck I’m hurting people, I didn’t mean to, make it stop.’ It’s not a villain being defeated it’s closer to a moment of clarity, similar to one someone suffering from addiction may have. When you’re doing it you can’t think of the consequences, all you know is this feels good and you don’t want that to stop. But then the effects wear off and you realise people are upset and hurting and it’s your fault and you want either to stop or to get back on it so you forget what you’re doing, that’s why he reaches for the wishes, not to grab them and control them but because when he doesn’t have them he’s faced with something he’s forced to deal with alone that he can’t handle.

Sorry for the rant but I really find the comparison between addiction and what Magnifico goes through interesting, and it riles me up because he’s treated like a villain when all he needs is help and the stigma facing addiction means those suffering from it can’t get help and fall further into their problem. Magnifico defender for life 💙🩵🤍

YES! I mean, the fact that you can see the exact moment the hold of the possession is broken ... like ... do you see the green claws holding the wishes but they leave anyway? And the second the "demon" is kicked out of Mags, his face immediately shifts to pure panic and confusion?

Look at this poor baby!! Those haters claiming what you mentioned above is insane!!! What are they so mad at him for??

I have seen and heard multiple times now, that people compare Magnifico's sitution to an addiction. While I do agree on some points, I got to say, that Magnifico wasn't addicted. In his case, he was heavily traumatized from his childhood and the fear that came from it forced him to the book, because he panicked. He didn't even want to use the book! And then, he got possessed by that evil entity and controlled like a puppet. No way did that feel good. That demon in him was throwing a party because he was like "Yes! Finally a vessel I can control to kill, steal and destroy! I won!" No sir! I can't imagine how Magnifico must have suffered in his own body, suppressed by that entity! Not to scare anyone but I've seen demons manifest in people and that shit ain't a drug high, that is torture!

Makes it a 100 times worse that the people of Rosas including Amaya, Asha etc. Turned on him with the snap of a finger. He was only a source for a favor for them all. And the fact no one had an idea that he was possessed isn't an excuse for them either. They didn't care for him. And even those who might have realized something is wrong, stayed silent!!! And watched. Their king, who constantly gave and gave and gave, went out of his ways to help his people the best way possible, made a life of luxury possible for them, needed their help desperately and they turned away!

Also, what do these haters think paying no rent or taxes means?? 99% of the time, money was the one thing that brought a person status and power. Other kings sat on their gold like greedy dragons, while Magnifico doesn't give a flying fart for money. If he did, he would have taken taxes like any other king and let the people pay rent! The people of Rosas had to pay for nothing!!

He was simply too good for them all! That ungrateful, greedy, ignorant, compassionless, egoistical, entiteled, selfish bunch of hypocrites!

And yes, you are not alone with your anger! We defenders are all in this together! 💙✨️

I want to give Magnifico a happy life.

King Magnifico is a Star!

Poor King Magnifico. All this magic and fun was happening around him and he was isolated from it all. But What If...King Magnifico was in the woods, scared and stressed, and frantically trying to find out what the light was, and the animals sing to him instead of Asha?

In his case, it would be a reveal moment, where he finds out what star magic is, and that it's nothing to be scared of or threatened by, since "he's a star" too and has had the stardust inside him the whole time. Maybe the song helps reveal that the star magic is what caused his "own origin story" because it's what helped him learn to create his own magic. The song could serve as a gentle reality check; sometimes things you don't understand aren't always something to fear, and sometimes the answers to life's biggest mysteries are closer than you think and aren't always found in a book.

(On a side note, who can I commission to get this version performed? ;) )

Anyway, here's King Magnifico's version of "I'm a Star":

Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers? Or why flowers in the wind are effortless and elegant dancers? What forms the rings in the trees? Grows a pine from a seed? What's passed down generationally, to you? (And to me?)

And why your eyes look like microscopic galaxies? Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers?

Well, you don't have to look too hard We're here for all your question marks If you're try'na figure out just who you are Don't look far In the sky, and your courtyard Beyond the books and potion jars If you really wanna know just who you are You're a star! (Magnifico (confused): What?)

Boom! Did we just blow your mind? Magnifico (scoffs): Er, well….I've known the entire time!

When it comes to the universe we're all shareholders Get that through your system! Magnifico: ..Solar?

See we're all just little nebulae in a nursery From supernovas now we've grown into our history We're taking whys right out of mystery, closure Now we're taking in All the star exposure!

We eat the leaves which feed off the sun Magnifico (ponderingly): So that's where the balls of gas come from…

Hey, you still look like you're hanging on by a strand But if you open your mind and heart, you'll understand!

Magnifico (intrigued): So your magic stardust, is my dust too? Amazing!

Well, you don't have to look too hard It's all around and not too far If you're try'na figure out just who you are You're a star! Do you know you're a work of art Even in the deepest dark? If you really wanna know just who you are

Magnifico (uncertain, but getting the hang of things): I'm a star...?

Here's a little fun allegory That gets me excitatory (Magnifico: "That's not a word..") This might sink in in the morning We are our own origin story

If I'm explaining this poorly Stardust makes magical glory It's all quite revelatory And it helped write your origin story!

You don't have to look too hard It's all around and not too far If you're try'na figure out just who you are You're a star!

(Magnifico chuckles, starting to relax and loosen up)

Magnifico sings along with the animals: No matter where you end or start We're all each other's counterparts If you really wanna know just who you are I'm a star!

Magnifico: Hey! I'm a star! Deer: Show the world who you are!

Magnifico: (confidently) You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?) Me, I'm a star! (Woo!!)

Ooh, you're a star! Watch out world, there you are!

You know who's lookin' sharp? Magnifico: Who? You! You're a star!

The sad truth is King Magnifico never had a chance because he was a white male. He wasn't ever meant to succeed, because Jennifer Lee is a radfem and didn't want him to. Filmthreat did a really good article revealing a lot of her behaviour especially while working on Wish.

Yes, I am aware of that. However, whatever she planned, that shot backfired. We Magnifico defenders are several thousands, millions by now if you count in the boom our man has in Japan + all the children loving him.

Honestly, I don't care anymore about what stupid nonesense Jennifer has said or will say. The cake is eaten. Magnifico isn't a villain. Period. No hater will change that fact. And while we defenders are glad we got him the way we did, we will still keep making noise by defending him and standing up to rise awareness to trauma + calling out all the toxicity and hypocrisy there is concering him.

Also, because I remember it now, the most stupid argument from the haters I've seen so far is, that we only defend Magnifico because he's hot.

What.the.actual.frick?

Are these people for real? What kind of a shit insult is this? They wanna call us superficial but are the embodiment of it themselves with their inane statements against us and Magnifico.

Us defending him has 0 to do with the fact that he's a 100 of ten with his looks, but everything with who he really is as a character and the situation concerning him. He could be Quasimodo looking and we would defend him just the same.
