I'm watching a YouTube video about how #Wish is actually an anti-Disney movie and...oh shit, it is.
Magnifoco's power comes from hoarding everyone's most cherished wishes, occasionally granting one or two, but mostly just keeping them for himself.
It's a whole thing, but whether it's on purpose or not, oh my God, the villain is Disney.
The above post outside of the context of an analogy to a film just sounds like I just realized the most obvious thing in the world.
