I also really like the idea of a caged bird, knowing you could make it far but being held back by something out of your control.

I feel like it's undercooked. I don't think they used 🅰👁 to make it, maybe I'm too optimistic/trusting or idk, but I really think it just didn't have enough work done on it.

Forgetting about the concept stuff. Starboy is totally something I'd be into, but... I don't actually care he's not in the final product. I'm more interested in the Queen being evil as well, but I still don't think we needed that. And anyway, I wanna just... I don't know. It feels stupid to say "talk about the movie as is" when I literally have thoughts on how it could have been better, lmao. But that's without going back to it's past ideas.

I think This is Thanks I Get!? suffers the most and feels the most undercooked. I feel like the lyrics just needed ONE more revision, because yeah 😭 Everyone's shat on the "Free, no rent" line to death. It could have been so easily fixed to "I let you live here WITH ME, and I don't even charge you rent."

Some of the visuals of that song need work as well. He just starts beating on the little toys representing the townsfolk immediately. It should have shown him looking at them, roughly, as if he's looking for the traitor among them, then start beating the crap out of them.

The "do do do"'s should've been the little guys singing, being on his side, until he turns on them. I'm not smart when it comes to music, lmao, but I think the last verse should have either replaced the do's with some harsh sounding instrument, or start with the toys singing then they stop once he starts beating on him. I've seen people describe the song as too poppy. I think it works for what they were going for Magnifico. He's like Metroman from Megamind. A showboat, the beloved town hero.

There's so many things that could've been fixed with the song without completely changing it. This is how I feel about a lot of the movie and it's just... upsetting. I see SO MUCH good in this movie, but it just... didn't try hard enough or didn't have enough time spent on it. The villain is so confused, but I SEE the vision. If they wanted the well-intentioned but ultimately corrupted villain, they needed to go so much harder with the ending. The way it stands, it kind of feels like his wife and the entire town abandoned him. Because yet it was ultimately his fault, but it was magic that truly corrupted him. And no one helped him? Or showed him sympathy? No one knew? Or I think his wife did. IT'S CONFUSING. It should have ended with the classic: Hero tries to save villain, but villain ultimately causes their own demise. Like Clayton [Tarzan] or Zira [The Lion King 2].

I don't care what anyone says, "At All Costs" is SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. It feels like the only song in the movie that got all the love and care a disney song should've gotten.

I like "I'm A Star" lmao. It just feels silly and weird that they dedicated a whole song to these animals we're not given much reason to care about. They show up like once more, Asha doesn't feel like an animal girl outside of her goat. She should've been a farm girl or something.

Sidetracking a little, Asha should've been a farm girl. Or her mother and grandfather should've been. Ex-nay the tour guide thing even though I do like "Welcome to Rosas" it just... it feels too similar to Encanto. A lot of the songs do, but watching Asha explain everything through a song similar to Encanto's soundtrack was a jarring start to a movie I genuinely wanted to give a try.

Back to "I'm A Star," I think a, admittedly weird, change that could have helped it is if the animals turned out to be the people of the town. Think about it. What is the most important thing in this movie? The townsfolk. And their wishes. The animals should have led Asha back to the town and reveal themselves as the dreams of the townsfolk. Show birds for that one lady who wished to fly, show a sloth for the sleepy friend of Asha. Imagine all those animals and beautiful colors in the town square at night dancing. Asha sees them going inside the buildings through windows to the villagers. The idea that everyone is connected doesn't mean much in this story in regards to animals. It doesn't feel like that type of story. But the people! The many different people of the town...

UGH!!! This movie is so infuriating. It could have at least been... not so goofy. I don't think these or any other fix I've thought of would have made it a huge hit, but I wish it could have at least been something more care in it.

I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW

VISUALS ARE STUPID, MAKE NO SENSE, BUT THAT SONG GOES HARD. I love when the Queen shows up like yeah he's bad lol

They should've showed them building weapons or something, like wtf were they doing the whole time? Just building stuff to make shadows for the song?? HUH??

Like, let's take for example Ventus.

I don't see him as cheerful/innocent/happy character who wants to make friends and stuff and how usually the fandom portrays him like, idek he is some kind of naive boy.

I actually see him someone with so many flaws and he tries to cover it under a shy smile. I love Ventus because he is NOT innocent at all, he is NOT what the game wants us to think, i love him because he is the mere example that people tends to masks their true feelings because they fear to get rejected and idek I find Ventus really selfish actually and I can't help but feel truly bad about him at times, mostly when is related to Vanitas.

Alright I get the novels and I get he is tragic but man, Vanitas has his own faults too.

And I love ainchase because well, he start off as a fucking asshole and considers humans despicable, but during his journey you can't fucking help but love how slowly goes to uncover his true desires and he realizes he isn't just a merely tool made by a Goddess and he wishes to keep existing knowing someday, when he completes his mission he would have to disappear.

Idek man I love these kind of characters so much lmaooo, I love when they have identity crisis (which happens with these characters) and how they evolve.

And lol I start liking characters and I don't know at all and I play their games 4 years later haha.....

‪I adore Cas, but I think I’ve settled to the point where I’m more pissed about Crowley’s death.

Ready? What should have been Crowley’s blaze of glory was overshadowed by a bunch of shock value that will likely (I hope) be undone next season. This assumes Cas will be back (Prob. Antichrist kid, possibly Dean making a deal considering how much “deal” talk happened between Dean and Mary) and that they will at least show Lucifer and Mary in the AU ApocalypseVerse. Even if that’s just showing a Mary/Lucifer final showdown.

So Crowley & Rowena are left out to dry. Crowley offed himself in order to get rid of the devil without so much as hinting what he was going to do until right before he did it. It was a great culmination of character growth considering we know that Crowley has never liked to his hands dirty.
