Wish

[Patricier21]

Calling Wish "original" is generous.

You haven’t even seen it! You stated that you had no reason to check it out, so that’s very rich to say the least to make the claim you’re making about it! I know you’re cynical, more than likely trying to account for something you’re insecure about, but Jesus Christ! What’s your problem?

People do want original stories but they don’t want to pay for it. They wait till they can watch new movies on Disney+ for free. I’ve always said that releasing the new movies a few months later on digital platforms is a big mistake. I understand that they need new content for it but they are harming themselves and loosing too much money.
A few years ago you have to wait over 4 months to buy the movie on blu ray. Now you don't even have to buy it the film because you know that you are going to enjoy it soon. Disney is loosing the money of the theater tickets and the money that gave the phisical media.
And of course there is a “hating Disney” trend on social media. I think that the problem started with TLM live action and with Marvel…

Who said I haven't seen it ???

I know I saw a post on Blu-ray forum where you said that you had no interest or intention of seeing it. And not to assume, but even if you have, was it online since you’ve made it clear that you are so against it and Disney overall, given your usual attitude when posting about it?

Girl we know it's a flop since last month, the 50M projections were already total flop but now it will probably open under 30M, A MSSIVE FLOP

Many people will get fired for sure

If that’s supposed to be a joke, I don’t find it very funny.

I'm tired of disney adults, how is a joke say that the movie is a massive flop, it's literally a massive flop opening even lower than Encanto in 2021 with the pandemic

No, I saw A post by your username stating that exact same thing. Please don’t lie to us!

You can go ahead and search for it and link it because I have always said that I'm planning to watch the movie, even here in this thread, and I did. I have nothing to hide.

Good luck.

Asha dressing up as the fairy godmother is a level of executive meddling they’ve not really stooped to in the past. WDAS used to be protected from this type of stuff. That was reserved for DTV’s.

If that’s ‘original’ then I don’t want it.

All of this is just sad. And I was looking forward to Wish. But this is not what audiences want.

But if you watch it within the context of the movie, you’ll find it doesn’t seem immediately obvious, it is not any kind of “meddling”. It’s more sad that you and others are this picky and bothered by this kind of thing when it should not bother you, I mean what’s the difference between this and enchanted/disenchanted, Chip and dale reference rangers? This felt way more Disney and way less executive mandatory than any of those, especially the latter there

From a lot of your posts, you make it seem like you’ve never actually did it or just going by what the majority thinks like you have with other movies. You also didn’t deny me whenever I said that you may very well have watched it online and not even paid for it

FFS, just let people like OR dislike the movie as they please, and stop hounding them across the internet. You'd think a few of you here have personal stakes in Disney the way you not only pile up on anyone who expresses any type of legitimate criticism of them and their products, but also jump to defend every questionable storytelling choice. It's annoying and it's getting old. And this is coming from someone who enjoyed Wish for the most part.

The movie is a flop and it's a fact. Last monday it made 745$. Trolls made 616$ but it was released sooner. Imagine Wish's Numbers in a few weeks…

Mooky...

I can’t understand why certain posters here won’t let others express their opinions without attacking them.

I couldn’t care less if you either like or dislike something Disney puts out. All opinions should be able to be expressed without fear of bullying or personal attack.

Wish is flopping so badly it wouldn’t surprise me if Disney were to pull it out of theaters before Christmas to save money AND humiliation!

I agree 100%!

It wasn’t executed well in the writing or storytelling, but Asha is supposed to be the world’s first fairy godmother. That’s where the whole movie was leading up to, hence why she wore Cinderella’s fairy godmothers cloak. It wasn’t executive meddling, whatever that means.

WDW Pro has an interesting you tube video about several animators coming forward to tell how Wish was taken over by activists who turned it from charming to propaganda.

This is 100% not true. Y’all are gonna have to stop watching these YouTube videos that only spew lies. Even if it was true (which it isn’t), what exactly is there in Wish that could be relayed to propaganda or activism?

[Farerb]

The filmmakers themselves described Asha as an activist:

I agree. I feel like people are giving themselves too much credit over things like "Barbenheimer" when there have been multiple solid non-franchise films released this year (e.g. The Creator) that have flopped because they don't have priority.
