Reason for Writing This
To start this story off, I thought it's important for me to specify why I'm changing the story. I used to be a big Disney fan (Mulan is one of my favorite movies), but I've gotten sick and tired of their newfound refusal to give us a different storyline. I understand that, technically, it's a different story, but come on. It has the same adorkable mc, a lackluster side cast, and forced references to past films.
What really seals the deal for this movie, is the movie we could have had. We've all seen the scrapped concept ideas. I feel like if Disney wasn't so focused on playing it safe, it would have been an instant loved movie. So, I took it upon myself to try and 'fix' the movie. I am not Disney, so obviously it won't be 100% true to the Disney brand. That isn't what I'm going for in this scenario. I'm just trying to take what we could have had and spin it into a movie I'd personally watch.
Changes I'm Making
So, as I mentioned in my problems with the movie, I don't love how they always stick to the adorkable mc. I need spice! So, instead, Asha is going to be more reserved/shy. She's still going to have her Disney princess vibes, but she's not going to be all out going and happy-go-lucky. I need character development to work with.
I just about mourned when I saw the concept ideas for Star, so of course I'm bringing him in. He's going to stay (mostly) the character he was in the movie (comic relief & optimistic), just as a pretty fantasy boy. I also decided for him to use sign language for representation and for future plot points.
I am pro Evil Queen Amaya. Give me my villain couple Disney! So she's going to be evil along with Magnifico in this story.
Amaya doesn't need 7 friends. Call me controversial, but I despise the forced seven dwarves reference. So, instead of all of her friends staying, only Simon and Delilah are staying.
I feel like the stakes weren't quite high enough in the movie for Asha, as she was only Magnifico's assistant, so instead I'm making Asha the princess. This will also add depth to Magnifico's character, since I envision him as a pretty good dad (even if he's evil).
Warning: I'm going to mostly change the plot of Wish, only keeping the overall idea and some major plot points. Don't read this if you get mad at that kind of thing.
One Last Additional Note
I am open to suggestions! If you had a problem with Wish (or it had something you really love), I am open to adding to my story! Nothing is set in stone until it's written, and I read every comment. I am writing this for you all to read anyways. Even if it's a half garbled idea and you're not quite sure how to say it, just shoot it out. My ideas are usually a half garbled mess anyways.
