This is giving cult behavior. No studio (or company, or organization) should be exempt from valid criticism. Regardless of how much you enjoyed
Wish, the point stands that it's objectively a badly written and assembled movie (and I enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed
Catwoman. That doesn't stop me from recognizing it as a bad movie.) People don't own studios anything and they're not "letting the movie flop on purpose". I mean, what? They just rather spend their money elsewhere. And speaking as someone who has spent thousands on Disney products, whether movie tickets, home media, merchandise, and subscriptions, I (and everyone else) deserve better entertainment from the company. Don't settle for mediocrity.
Just because the majority thinks a certain way does not mean that they are the “objective” mindset; what if they’re all misguided by the same thing? Just like how Most people did not bathe during mediaeval times, Like most people didn’t know that Pluto was a planet, like how most people were taught to automatically plays nine Caucasian people to sit at the back of the bus, back at the room etc. what’s the difference here? It’s called Growth and development, because you’re forgetting that we’re all the same species: human, a species the quite frankly I’ve said before is more than objectively the most misguided and screwed up, which I know most of you overall agree with even if you’ll never admit it.
A lot of people felt the same about certain movies like blade runner, and other movies I did not do so well when they first came out only to be regarded as classics (Pinocchio and the original Fantasia Bombed when they came out; Yes there was extenuating circumstances, But many people would consider the original Fantasia is having a valid criticism of being “too boring” and “slow”, not to mention that I personally find Pinocchios character development to be quite week even for the times, of which dare I say it I actually find the live action remake did a much better job of). Not to mention how people originally thought about the Empire strikes back when it first came out, of which it along with the Original Star Wars trilogy, and Star Wars overall I know through critical thinking to be a badly assembled and written and performed franchise (Waymore than Wish, That’s for sure). The only reason why people look back fondly on this because of its historical significance, which is important yes but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still an overall horribly executed And presented franchise, I criticism of which no one seems to have a problem with most modern movies when they arguably did just as much or more than Star Wars and or even more beloved such as Harry Potter, middle earth, avatar, even Marvel etc. Like my brother has said, just because it’s different and or even stands out does not necessarily mean that it’s good. And I know for a fact That a lot of you Are only going with majority overall and her condition into thinking that it’s “Objective“ Because the majority think so, and with that you’re afraid of standing out and being ostracized because you think differently from them and or because you think it’s worthless because you don’t think it’ll make any difference, when it actually overall does even if only the long run. Look at something again like the first Hocus Pocus And where it is now compared to what’s initial reception; did everybody else care they didn’t do that well or get that good reviews (Wish has a much higher rotten tomatoes score then I believe both hocus-pocus movies if I’m not mistaken)? If they did, then how and why is it such a phenomenon now? How do you know the same thing can’t happen to wish or any other movie like I said I didn’t do that well like blade runner, the Wizard of Oz, Fantasia, Atlantis, treasure planet and all these other Disney Classics that did not do that well initially?
Yes, no studio let alone literally anything for that matter should be exempt from any kind of criticism, but there’s also something to be said that maybe just maybe the people that are doing the critiquing have something wrong with them too? It always truly takes two or more to tango, and again just because you won’t admit it does not mean that it’s not true. Wish is not the very best Disney animated movie ever, but I do know for a fact as I’ve seen on here and other places that a lot of the criticism towards it or result of people over thinking it and or demanding expecting too much out of it, and again because their overall mindset towards Disney and even frankly movies and life in general. You have to admit it that the higher cost and expense in movies is also another factor here, but does that mean that it’s fair for this and other movies to have to fail whenever they very well could’ve and should’ve done a lot better? All I’m asking is for you to be more considerate and realize that even if it is against the majority, you always truly have potential To make a difference, even if it may not be specifically or directly That much of an impact and or what you’re looking for, because at least it’s more true and valuable to you and therefore whatever else is involved with it no matter what no matter how otherwise it may seem
just goes to show you that there’s something wrong with our species, and like I said, THEY Need to change. Another thing that I’ve always known is that people don’t like something because it reminds them about something that they don’t like no matter what no matter how otherwise it may seem. And you can look at that fact in very different ways in regards to Wish.
