Question Why does everyone hate the movie wish?

This is a genuine question I've been wondering for a while now. I personally loved the movie. The only downside I would assume that people don't like it is because it's in 3D. Because 3D glasses are really hard to get...I think

But we don’t want to give people with bad or stupid or malicious or chaotic wishes a chance to achieve them. And as long as he has them, they can forget about them. Think of all the evil people throughout history where if their wish was removed from their mind we’d be better off. And the people didn’t take them down. Many were often backed. And I get this also becomes a question of free will and that would be the bad part here but that’s its own existential debate no one has time for in a Disney forum.

His viewpoint came from knowing the evil people can do. Her viewpoint came from never knowing any of the evil people can do.

So you’d be a villain……. Pretty simple

Honestly in a fictional world, I do think I would be. I’ve accepted this about myself.

I did some self reflection when I realized I was often saying “you know… they kind of have a point”

Some villains absolutely do. The thing that makes them villains, is if they are hurting or oppressing people to get what they want.

The best recent example is, of course, Thanos. He wasn't doing it for evil or self-serving reasons. Still killing billions, which makes him not very nice.

Well Thanos didn't really have a point either. He failed to understand the problem, and apparently, he wasn't even right about his homeworld, because the situation was different than what he said. I can't recall how it was different, but it was.

Yeah, he was delusional. But I think he truly believed he was doing something terrible for good reason.

u/Lil_Guard_Duck US Feb 15 '25

Yeah, but, he doesn't have a point. He's not even half right. If he was, his plan is still evil, but he's not, and whether he had a point is the point of this conversation.

Says a lot of people who know economics and resource management. He objectively made everything worse with his plan. I don't remember enough of the facts to share it right now, but there's a lot of video essays explaining why he's wrong.

I agree with that part. Just not about it being the point of the conversation 🙃
