Imagine one person writing a song 10 times better than an entire team of writers who work for the #1 animation studio in the world.

[ADuckInBlack]

this dude managed to make a better disney villain song using a snare drum, a piano, audacity, and a microphone

[logdinafter]

this version has the absolute CORRECT VIBE FOR THIS CHARACTER, amazing

[aussakagamine]

Disney used to be the best at the music game for animated flicks. Now we got people on YouTube upping them so easily.

[CarpetBanana]

all it's missing is the British accent

[statelyelms]

I know usually people exaggerate that a redo is "so much better than the original" but this really is, in many ways. There's parts that need polishing, but in that regard, the original is a god damned sea urchin

[Sonjaaa]

The relief i feel not hearing those “ba ba ba ba” noises 😭

[evilmark]

at this point youtubers should just remake wish from scratch

[DirewolfMemento]

It's almost like he enjoys being a martyr it's very interesting

[yep]

In the best way possible, this rewrite feels like a cross between “you’re welcome” from Moana and “Meant to be yours” from the Heathers musical.

"At all costs."

The way you delivered that line broke my heart. It really sounded like Magnifico understood what he was sacrificing, what he was about to lose... And it saddened him.

This is the kind of line and delivery people cling onto when imagining the villain can be redeemed.

[Muna-Jlore]

At least it’s better than “I can’t help it if mirrors love my face. It’s genetics! Hey, I got these genes from outer space!”

[Rikrobat]

I love how your lyrics focus on keeping Magnifico’s arrogance about himself without getting distracted on things like his looks. Even though he’s done some kind things, he’s caught up on “how amazing he is” for them, which you balance well. It also helps to stitch together the pivot his character takes, rather than the switch coming out of nowhere.

[CoolScratcher]

Jonah I feel like you're underestimating your abilties because this is a genuinely really good rewrite. It just needs the professional mixing and mastering of the one we got and Chris Pine. Then it will be perfect

[zacselway]

Please, we NEED the instrumental of this version. This would be such a fun song to see covers of

[Med_itz]

This is a much better version story-wise, it shows his descent into madness perfectly and makes more sense than the original. Someone get Chris Pines to cover it!!

[mochaanderson]

I like how it kept the pop vibes while being an ACTUAL VILLAIN SONG WORTH LISTENING TO.
LITERALLY SUPERIOR

[katherinesmallbean]

The "Just come on out. I'm sure that all of this is a big mistake" part made me genuinely nervous when I first heard it. The delivery is so subtly sinister. It 100% reads like he is baiting someone out of hiding so he can hurt them.


....Meanwhile in the original song, the line sounds like he genuinely just wants to talk it out 😂

[BelleDraws-id]

Yeah the thing I like about disney musicals is the long note on the ending and the camera zooms out from the character. Like ariel's "part of your or genie's "never had a friend like That also applies to villain songs like the ending note of frollo's hellfire and scar's "be

So Asha ending her song like "to have something more than.... this", I was like where's the rest of it? Lol I expected it to be longer. So Jonah doing the same long note to This Is The Thanks I Get was a big respect to the disney formula

[cache_valley_cryptid]

This both makes him more sympathetic and more villainous at the same time i love it 😭
