I just realized something!
The way how some of the characters in the Hellaverse are written is similar to two characters in Wish.
You know the common criticism of Lucifer is that he's treated as a baby, "innocent" and "benevolent" king by the narrative even though he's a grown ass man who indirectly fucked humanity over yet he's not suffering the consequences of his actions in Hell?
The reverse happens with King Magnifico!
The narrative treats King Magnifico as this "evil" monarch who refuses to grant the main girl's grandfather's wish because it was too vague according to him. The grandfather wished to inspire people vaguely thus Magnifico can't make it happen because he doesn't know if it's for the right or wrong reasons that COULD bring disastrous consequences. He got villainized all because he thought LOGICALLY.
Which also sounds very suspiciously how Adam (and Lute by extension) got villainized for doing the exact same thing in being LOGICAL against Charlie regarding the sinners are irredeemable who shouldn't ascend to Heaven to reunite with their victims.
Look, I know she's 17 (canon by the creators btw) but that doesn't absolve her from criticism. She went against the king all because her grandfather's wish wasn't granted nor it will be granted due to (again) vagueness. It just makes her look like a spoiled brat. She said that the king should grant all the wishes without a care that if some of the wishes are either vague or dangerous. The narrative treats her as the "hero" of the story when in reality she's selfish which is also very suspicious on how Charlie acted in season 2 yet the show treats her as a "good person" even when she overstepped Angel Dust's boundaries although this is kinda excusable since Asha is a teenager while Charlie is an adult.
Asha is very similar to Charlie in selfishness.
Another instance is that Asha became the king's assistant for a short time and the moment she became one, she immediately requested him to grant her grandfather's wish. I felt bad for Magnifico because he says that people who become his assistant would request the same thing either a month in or a year in, he really wanted someone who genuinely want to be his assistant.
The lesson in Disney's Wish is, be selfish and you'll get what you want in the end /sarcasm (Charlie definitely fits this throughout the series)
Do you want to know why King Magnifico built Rosas? His home town got destroyed when he was a young boy thus traumatizing him that he sought to build something new without any negativity basically a utopia. His fear drove him to "villainy" because Asha summoned Star by wishing on it who can also grant wishes, he was scared that a wish granting cosmic/celestial being could bring devastation to his kingdom which is something he fears, it's a valid emotion he felt yet he got villainized for that too and his punishment was getting trapped in a mirror then thrown into the dungeon by his wife, the queen.
Wow...ok, overreacting even though you have valid trauma on things will definitely make you a bad guy and you'll get punished/condemned for it 🙄
Fun fact: King Magnifico and his wife were originally going to be a villainous couple. Star was going to be a shapeshifter that took in a form of a teenage boy and be a love interest for Asha.
King Magnifico is a decent monarch compared to Lucifer! He was willing to protect both his kingdom and the civilians from any potential threat. The complete opposite what Lucifer feels about the hell born demons by creating a classist caste system and doing fuck all doing absolutely nothing to improve it.
It's also hilarious that Wish was supposed to be Disney's 100th anniversary film yet it flopped hard in box office lmao.
