IN ORDER TO LIVE IN THE KINGDOM OF ROSAS, DO YOU NEED TO GIVE UP YOUR WISH TO KING MAGNIFICO?

🌟———————————————————————

Genuine question, because I’ve seen some people say you do need to give up your wish to him and I’ve seen others who’ve said that you don’t.

Personally, I believe that you DO need to give up your wish to the king, but not because something in the movie told me so. I only think this from a logical standpoint. I’m not saying that the idea that you need to give up your wish is TRUE, nor am I denying that people don’t need to. This is just a little thoughtful speculation I had. Hear me out.

Say that people DON’T need to give up their wishes in order to live in Rosas. Some people decide to give him their wishes in hopes of getting them granted anyways, while others decide to keep their wishes. So now we have King Magnifico keeping most of the given wishes in the wishing chamber forever and protects those wishes. Then we have Asha say that it’s wrong for him to hoard the given wishes and not return the wishes he won’t grant back to their respective owners. King Magnifico responds by saying that the point of people coming here and giving up their wishes is because the journey to them is too hard. He doesn’t say anything about if he gives back the wishes, then something bad could possibly happen if people pursued their wishes themselves. But it IS hinted that’s what he means because in the movie he takes people’s wishes in hopes to reduce greed and having greedy people in the kingdom (though ngl that just made people more greedy unfortunately for him).

I’m not going to talk about who is right in the concept of keeping or giving back ungranted wishes.

Back to my explanation! So if King Magnifico hoards the wishes because he thinks they are dangerous, then why let people who haven’t given up their wishes live in the kingdom? Those people who haven’t given him their wishes (I’m talking about citizens 18+ because that’s the requirement to give him your wish) could have a dangerous wish within them and walk around the kingdom with that wish in their heart as they please. See what I mean?

(GYATTTT🗣️🔇🔇 im sorry. and this is supposed to be a gif but whatev…)

For example…

Say person A and person B arrive at Rosas and decide to live there. They are both given the option to give up their wishes to the king in hopes for them to be granted, but are still allowed to live in Rosas no matter which choice they pick. Person A gives up their wish (say that their wish is really anything, it doesn’t matter in this example), but Person B decides to keep their wish (say that their wish is vague or has the possibility of dangerous consequences (also, I don’t believe that any of the citizens’ wishes are bad-intentioned because King Magnifico said that it is their hearts desire and it is the wish from the very BEST and PURE part of someone’s heart. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t vague enough to have bad consequences/outcomes or be dangerous, even if not intentioned)). So King Magnifico knows what person A’s wish is and decides to lock it up because he think it’ll result in something bad. Okay, great whatever. But oh wait! He doesn’t know what person B’s wish is and he doesn’t know if their wish could have bad results if granted or pursued. He doesn’t KNOW about it and he can’t SEE it because that person didn’t give their wish to him.

Does that make sense? So this brings me back to my primary question. If people don’t need to give their wishes to the king in order to live in the kingdom of Rosas, what is the point in hoarding the wishes given to him when he doesn’t know the wishes of the people who haven’t given them up to him? He can’t make a hypothesis and not even an assumption on person B’s wish or intentions or dreams or goals because he doesn’t have their wish. And he just allowed them to live in the kingdom!

So what would be the difference in danger between person A’s given wish and person B’s ungiven wish when King Magnifico can’t properly defend his statement and reasoning on the whole ‘greedy people thing’ and not giving back given wishes he won’t grant? How does a given wish make it any more harmful than an ungiven wish in his eyes? It just doesn’t make sense to me if the case is that you DON’T need to give up your wish in order to live in Rosas.

Now this is the part where I’m taking stuff from the movie now to back up my reasoning. So at the end of the movie, we see all 1,923 wishes (yes, that’s how many there are 😭) are sent back to their original owners. We see that EVERYBODY gets their wish back, aside from the kids of course and Valentino. When I take in this scene, I am basically told by the movie that every qualified citizen gave up their wish. Could the possibility that they had the choice on whether to give their wish up or not to King Magnifico and still live in Rosas either way is true? Maybe. But it seems highly unlikely because it can be debunked by King Magnifico’s statement on keeping people safe and his attempt to stop greedy thieves and his refusal to return the wishes he won’t grant. It forces his statement of ‘preventing another disaster from happening’ to make no sense if he lets people who haven’t given up their wishes to him live there ANYWAYS.

If someone has anything they’d like to add, feel free to share! This is just a genuine question and I’d like to understand more if the case really is that qualified people (those 18+) can live in Rosas anyways without giving up their wishes and keeping it with themselves the entire time.

Thanks for reading! 💖

Don't you ever wish you could just call up a fellow mutual and say "Hi, how are you doing?" Instead of just texting.

Listen to their laughter and sense the smile on their face when you joke around with them. Chat no stop about your day or life in general. Face time and show them who you really are. Give them a tour of the things you love.

And most of all, instead of reading what they are saying to you. You are listening, actually listening to them. Making them feel like they have your undivided attention.

Now wouldn't that be nice?!
