''Now I'm something else'' Very descriptive. Couldn't come up with a word? There are things called dictionaries if you can't find the right word. 4. It's not about the song but the visuals. Why is there a silhouette of Simon (in the lyric version) if he's not in the scene and doesn't sing? Did Disney think we wouldn't notice?

i wish u guys could understand the difference between a Rally Song and a Villain song. broaden your musical horizons a liiiiiil bit how either song sounds isnt the issue its the piss poor lyrics. the closest I can think to rally songs off the top of my head rn is This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars. its a bit more uplifting sounding than this but thats an example of what im getting here. big scary drums aren't evil y'all only think that cus of Be Prepared (which uses african style rhythms) and Savages (which is a militant rhythm cus... duh war's breaking out) but other villain songs are pretty darn whimsical or isn't as tough as this song sounds What We Know Now sounds the way it does cus Asha is taking this hella seriously. Its not a whimsical highschool musical "All in this Together" tune but not defeatist enough to be a sad somber song (ie God Help the Outcast). Its a rally song. While Magnifeco has his head up his ass and is being cocky, hence why its in a more jovial tune. of course I say all this, if only the subtext they clearlyattempted was done properly. but it fumbled so hard. (pisspoor lyrics and rhythm issues) im not defending wish im just defending how versatile music actually *can* be and it shouldn't be so boxed up like the way you guys end up doing as a means to say why its music is bad ("it sounds evil therefore bad guy" , "it sounds jovial therefore good guy", when either style in either sing is neutral at best and delends in context.) its as frustrating as people saying Thanks I Get is bad cus its in Major key, not all bad guy or even sad songs are in Minor key! disney execs and other execs see this and this can hurt music in the long run. i sound a bit rude but I'm frustrated with this sentiment that this song sounds villainous when it's not. i wish i had more examples of "good" songs that sound like this song does...

The laziest part of this song that nobody seems to mention is that in the middle of the song, (spoilers?) the queen just WALKS IN. Why would she just walk in? In that part of the movie, Asha and her friends were in a secret hideout. How does the queen just know that Asha and her friends are there? It feels so lazy and jarring for the queen to just walk in so that she can add in the song 😭 Not to mention, one thing that bothers me about wish is that Magnifico and the queen doesn't seem to have any guards or knights around the palace, not even servants. It feels lazy and strange that a royalty wouldn't have people around in a huge palace, and so when you see the queen walking around, she's not accompanied by any lady in waiting or maids. WHICH AGAIN--- How did the queen find out that Asha and her friends are in a hideout and where the hideout is if we're never really shown that the queen and Magnifico have any guards/knights/maids???

I'd say it's pretty much just small royalty since Magnifico just built this small kingdom. I don't know exactly how old it is, but I'm assuming just a few decades. It's mostly composed of immigrants. Even if there are certain dangers occuring, I'm assuming that Magnifico could still protect himself because he's a great mage who can do about anything. The queen probably doesn't need one since most of the time, she doesn't go anywhere far from the castle and is mostly with Magnifico. But, I do admit, you have a good question. How did she even know where Asha is? Asha gave her a signal earlier? What if the queen decided to expose her instead? Why would Asha be shocked to see the queen if that were the case?

You realized how bad the Wish lyrics are when you listen to traslations of the songs in other languages. I'm from Latinamerica and most of the problem with the lyrics have been fixed in the translation to Latin Spanish. This song in particular doesn't suffer from any of the problems you point out in this video, neither do the other songs like This Wish and This is the Thanks I get? Its seems like the translators saw how bad everything sounded and decided to do Disney a favour. So yeah, I totally recommed watching this movie in any other language other than English because it would definitely be a better experience.

Ukraine is getting invaded, it's not having a revolution but aside from that I get what you're saying. My great grandfather was a food smuggler who helped the Dutch Resistance though he wasn't really a member himself which is the only reason why I'm born as this was before grandma was born. He happened to get caught and because he wasn't a member of the Resistance, just a civilian trying to help them because the Nazis took over our country's food supply as a way to control our people through starvation- he was 'merely' turnt into an example and given a public beating to discourage Dutch locals from aiding the Resistance like he had done. The event happened in my childhood hometown and I saw that spot all the time when I was younger because it's a small town- mom used to call it an 'overgrown village' all the time and my childhood neighborhood had been build after WWII because a bomb that had been left in the area exploded not long after the war ended so they decided to turn construct some buildings to house the people who had became homeless during the war, a history that stained the area forever as the area is currently home to one of the Dutch drug cartels which meant I grew up in the smalltown edition of Breaking Bad and I have scars for life. I swear so many people nowadays scream oppression whilst having the fanciest lives ever, which is honestly a reflection seen in Wish; that the people who had everything start a revolution and deem themselves oppressed the moment they get told 'no'. I invite them to spend just a month in my old neighborhood and to showcase them they don't even know what it's like to live in the aftermath of oppression, let alone be actually oppressed.

I can practically feel how this song is trying to emulate past musical anthems about children revolting against a higher power. I can FEEL it trying to capture that boot-stomping, angry kids vibe of “The World Will Know,” “Revolting Children,” and “It’s The Hard Knock Life”. The problem, of course, is that these songs feature kids who are ACTUALLY SUFFERING. We have child workers fighting their underpaying bosses, schoolchildren terrorized by an abusive principal, and orphans lamenting their unloved, abused, overworked lives. All this, placed next to…teens who hadn’t even known they were unsatisfied until that day, teens who live a comparatively cushy life where they trade (willingly) their wish for free housing. There is no mention of people actually asking for these wishes back if they leave the city…because no one wants to leave. The reason they’re just farting around while they sing is because they literally have zero idea how to defeat Magnifico…because there’s no clear thing to defeat. He’s not a corporation you can picket in front of, or a psychopathic leader you need to physically fight to defeat, or a cruel dictator you can refuse to slave for. I guess the whole thing is “release the wishes” but because Magnifico is so underwhelming as a villain, their entire plan is just “make him look the other way while we break into his house and steal his things.” Their biggest issue came from trying to open the gd gate to let the wishes out. Thus, this whole revolution song falls flat - there’s no preparation or plot moving, there’s nothing to DO. In fact, what it does do well is show how immature this group is. It’s HIGHLIGHTING how little they’re doing, how small the problem seems, because it’s emulating past songs about bigger problems. Where other songs had the kids doing things (planning the strike, rebelling against the principal/work by causing chaos) these kids are in a basement, making shadow puppets. They aren’t inciting violence, or gathering followers, or spreading information. Their worst crime is that they’re kinda being loud, but like…not TOO loud. It’s giving kids at a sleepover whispering swearwords. I was embarrassed at this scene. They seemed younger than their age, because no matter how angry they sing, they’re still portrayed as youth in a relatively privileged society. Their biggest issue is that their king doesn’t grant every single one of their wishes - newsflash, Disney, that’s the entire world. 99 percent of people will not have their deepest desires realized. This might be hard to believe from the film industry upper-middle/upper class perspective, but 99 percent of the world would absolutely give the ambition they had at 18 if it meant they had housing, food, and healthcare. Jesus, Asha's grandfather lived to 100 and looks 60, who CARES if he never got to play the frigging lute?

Maybe if the song had more personality or you know, the lie actually had some significance or real betrayal, then I think the repetition would be stronger here. "Saying your wishes aren't safe because of me is a lie lie lie lie" isn't going to resonate with the audience. His system was perhaps unfair, but no more unfair than any other lottery system that the citizens consensually participate in. Sure, I guess he's lying that Asha's making the wishes unsafe in order to rally his people, but so what? It's not that serious of a lie and most people in the audience think Asha's rebellion isn't valid. If the lie had been something like "Magnifico lied about his backstory. He actually destroyed his hometown and created this kingdom in order to be in charge," then the repetition of lie would be meaningful. Still repetitive in the way it's sung, but at least the lie would matter.

Hi! Music boy here. So cadence in music refers to the chord progressions that end sections of a song. You have authentic cadences that end with V-I, half cadences that end in V, etc. What you're talking about I would probably consider the lyrical meter. Meter in poetry essentially refers to how a line in poetry is emphasized, and it's something you have to pay attention to, and usually why a lot of poetry sucks because people forget it's a thing. If you want to get really into the weeds about it, a meter is made up of feet, and these feet take on any number of forms, like dactyls (BUM bum bum), spondees (BUM BUM), iambs (bum BUM), etc. Really cool stuff to keep in the back pocket. :)

Idea: instead of a zooming background, maybe try something like a slowly scrolling loop background? It has a way slimmer chance of triggering motion sensitivity.

All the songs in this movie sound like the music came FIRST and then was layered haphazardly onto pre-existing story beats. It's kind of an odd change from the lyrics informing the story and the theme informing the music. This is like someone rapping to a karaoke track of a pop song without any prep.

@@txwtw - I thought it was more because he was raised and educated in jail, so he didn't necessarily learn how to pronounce some things correctly. Metroman is also from the same planet and doesn't have trouble pronouncing the same words that Megamind does. There is also an implication that he's doing it on purpose: recall the scene when he has captured Roxanne near the beginning of the movie. She remarks on the spider. He says "spider" normally, then as he starts to villain monologue at her again, he pronounces it "spee-eye-der."

Discovered you through your first Wish video. This video was an absolute banger! Really loved how you broke down cadence and how the lyrics played into the cadence issues of this song. You have an amazing sense of humor too 😂 some of those edits sent my sides into orbit. I really resonated with your final point, as someone who studied music in school but is working in engineering now because the opportunities just aren’t there. I subbed to your channel after watching this video - we really need to support creators like you. One counterpoint I have to your point about other writers writing far better movies than Wish on the daily is, I’d personally extend far more charity to a creative writer than I would to some ghoulish studio exec, and to me, the problems with Wish seem to stem far higher up the chain than just mediocre writing. Like, I think about the original concept ideas of having a villain couple and Starboy being Asha’s love interest, and I think about how much better of a movie we would’ve had if those ideas made it to the final product. We could’ve had the power of love be used for both good *and* evil, for instance. It’s one hell of an idea for sure, so I do think that the writers and animators behind this movie are quite talented and can at least come up with good ideas. So it’s hard for me to believe that the same creative staff would look at a talking goat and a Luma copycat and think those are better than their original concept. Rather, I think the studio executives pressured the movie to be as SEO-optimized and marketable as possible, scrubbing any last sense of creativity down the drain. And this creative bleaching leeched into the songs as well. I don’t think the songwriter for this movie thought she was doing her best work - hell I’m willing to bet they told her “just copy Moana, here’s 3 weeks”. And under these conditions of systemic rot, I really don’t know if *any* writer would be able to turn out something decent. That’s just the state of modern Disney in my mind. Now if you don’t mind me, imma go watch Spider-Verse again for the 10th time. (Side note, if you ever decide to dive into the musical side of that movie with all its leitmotifs, I would watch the SHIT out of that video) Wishing you all the best for your KZitem journey! I’ll be here to watch it unfold 🙌

19:02 _”Don’t let your money go to the capitalists.”_ Capitalism’s only a tool, to be used for good or evil. The real problem today is corporatism: soulless committees that monopolize the tool to create equally soulless art, while locking truly creative people out to limit their competition. I wholeheartedly agree we shouldn’t pump our hard-earned money into Disney. Thousands of struggling indie artists out there deserve a little of that capitalism way more than these mega-corporations do.

You realise that "corporatism" is part of capitalism, right? That a system where someone can own the means of production while having no hand in making the things produced inevitably results in a disconnect between the rich owners and their employees, which results in sterile, safe investments being favored over risky passion projects?

I love the video! but I genuinely struggled while watching it because of the background. it made me nauseous💀💀 since it's (mostly) just on the edges, it creates the perfect recipe for motion sickness. if you're gonna use it, please at least limit it to the times when the screen is blank😭😭 motion sickness happens when your eyes think that you're moving, but your body is stationary. so your brain basically goes "ah! i am Tripping! I must've been Poisoned! I shall Vomit Up The Poison so that i can Not Die!" Having stuff move towards you/away from you right in the corners of your vision makes it worse, because your peripheral vision is very good at detecting movement, but very bad at details (like the detail that it's on a screen and not, ya know, real).

19:02 That's the part so many people don't get when they try to urge others to buy a ticket to a Disney or Marvel movie "to show that representation matters". The problem is that most of them ARE NOT good movies. And they have no excuse not to be, as the studios which made them had ALL the money to hire the best professionals to work with the best structure. It's just a big company making easy money out of of mediocre passionless projects that prey on people's desires and social worries. These studios couldn't care less about representation. If they did, they would make sure to put out GOOD movies, with GREAT stories, MEMORABLE songs and INSPIRING characters.

@@txwtw Honestly, they should have picked a different main line altogether. “Knowing what I know now” sounds more like a build up line to me. Repeat it a few times sure. But do not make it the main event. I feel like other songs with this theme have such awesome lyrics and titles. Take Skillets: “Rise”, “Awake and alive”, “The Resistance”. RWBY’s “This will be the day”. Hamilton’s “Story of tonight”. Skillet’s song titles sound like powerful calls to action and the other two are glorifying the revolution. “Knowing what I know now” falls flat for me because it has nothing meaningful like that. Call it “Down with the king” or something… “One wish left” or “Stand up, get ‘em back” or “Pull back the curtain” - something along those lines. Something simple would be more powerful and wouldn’t sound so clunky. But I guess it also requires them writing a good song with a punch to it which for Wish was not allowed…

I think "Knowing What I Know Now" is a fine title, but that's only if the truth being revealed is actually signficant. The only thing the audience knows is that Magnifico is perhaps not as benevolent as people assumed he was at the beginning of the movie and he's now possessed by dark magic (by choice, but still, being under possession isn't the same as doing evil willingly). But Asha, the teens, and eventually the Queen, are singing in a way that's trying to paint Magnifico as some kind of monster who is beyond corrupt and must be stopped at any cost. Yet, throughout the song, they aren't describing his crimes. Asha's repetitive line about his "lie" is him saying the wishes aren't safe because of her. Like, okay, it's untrue but who cares? "You've been deceived" / "not who he claims to be" / "more vicious than I could comprehend" / "his true colors" / "the lengths he'll go" / "too many bad things I can't keep count" / "watched the good in him melt" - Okay, all fine points but what has he done exactly? What are his crimes? If they are so numerous you can't keep count, then tell me a few of them. It's the same problem as "This Is the Thanks I Get." The title can actually be fire for the sentiment of the characters, but the song has to justify the meaning behind it.
