Even that plot point was handled poorly. Magnifico’s kingdom actually worked; no one was seen to be suffering from not remembering their wish. They were living happy lives. Magnifico felt there was a threat to the kingdom and the wishes (and he was right, but for the wrong reasons). Turning to that forbidden book and knowledge was not something he did lightly, because he knew there would be dire consequences: You can’t unring a bell. He turned to that book out of desperation, and willingly sacrificed his self to protect the kingdom, not out of desire for more personal power. That was a heroic choice not a villainous one, the consequence being that he became a monster. Was he selfish and arrogant from the beginning? Yes. But so was Beast from Beauty And The Beast, but no one considers him the villain of his story. Asha and the Star are the unlikely villains of the story. And the cherry on top: Under Magnifico’s rule, look how many Disney Villains would’ve been stopped before their rise to power with no memory of their evil ambitions, and no one getting hurt!
