The problem is that the wish, that the citizen gave to the king is his payment for creating a peaceful and safe kingdom free of rent, don't forget that EVERYONE agreed to give him their wishes, the king never force anyone to join his kingdom, he created his kingdom from scratch and in return the citizen give one wish, he created a prosperous nation where all of his citizen is happy, if that's not benevolent then i don't know what is.

The dichotomy between the movie and the "fandom" is astonishing.
I see so many myths floating around that I sometimes think to myself: "wait a sec, that's not in the movie, right?"
I can think of two more examples, besides the blatant misinterpretation you've already talked about.
1. I saw a guy stating Magnifico forbade magic in Rosas.
Sure he gets scared of the light, but that's probably because it's a strong magic, potentially even stronger than his. And it's something that the entire kingdom saw and felt, it could very well be interpreted as a step to far in the mind of a narcissist.
While we have no other magic users in the movie (besides Star and Asha with a wand), it is never said that it is because it's forbidden. It's more likely that the people of Rosas don't bother with magic, bc well, why would they?
2. Magnifico grants one wish per month.
In "this is the thanks I get, he plainly states he made 14 wishes come true last year, and no other statistic was ever mentioned in the movie. Now already one can tell that if a wish per month myth was true, that line would be a lie. But the myth also leaves out the possibility that the number of granted wishes fluctuates through time.
All in all it's very jarring to see people fall that hard for the Mandela effect when the movie isn't even that old.
It's the movie's fault of course since they leave so much up for debate.
Another thing I'd like to add is that they state in passing that all of king's apprentices had their wishes granted- HOW is no one mentioning the implied nepotism when talking about Magnifico, I've not seen a single person talking about it???

i Think, in a vacuum, viewers agree with the notion that not everyone's wishes are good overal for the city or others. But they forget it's magnifico saying it in the movie, whom seems aware of his lame excuse, he doesn't really care about that side of the conflict, he is arbitratily leaving wishes ungranted even if they are harmless, just to make them a "rare thing", artificially inflating the value of something he could easily do, and so, feel adored and have people comply just to get a chance at having them granted.
The movie could have gone the more morally complex route of "reliable but "dead" contentment versus real highs and lows in the pursue of your dreams", but for that to be the case, magnifico would need to let go of the Grandious narcisism, and act be a character who genuinly acts based on concern, trauma and paranoia, not ego and greed.
I don't know what others think, but he never sold me on the "concerned" side of things, it seemed flimsy from the begining, even though it could have been done.
Either way, he wasn't really that evil or good of a villain neither, i think the movie didn't have the time to flesh him out since they were so occuppied with cameos and chickens plus bears dancing

I hated magnifico, because he definitely has some horror that he's trying to protect the town from, but they skipped on that part of the story intentionally to make it more simply that he's the bad guy. He alluded to it once, and that is it
bad writing?/studio direction? planning a sequel that might not be realized?

People made a choice to move there and that they knew that they had to pay with a wish to live freely and safely there. He grants a wish every month, so there’s a chance your wish might be granted. He wasn’t keeping them against their will, they are happy in the town unlike what Asha thinks. If you made the choice to cut off your finger, that’s on you, and you decided that. unless you think everyone in the town in a drooling moron.

But they should forget the wishes if they have dangerous possibility. Flying the sky? What will you do if the one fly away after making problems in the country that is so peaceful and great? Or the songs that gives people inspiration which can includes ones related to crimes and treasons like Asha has done? Wishes Magnifico collected were to hard or impossible to make it come true. If he is trying to make it come true with his magics, shouldn’t you know that he will filter them for nation’s, people’s security as a king and the bad ones need to disappear?

Haven't watched the film yet but since so many people apparently misunderstood the villain's intention it might be because the writers accidentally made him too sympathetic. Sucks, because the base idea sounded cool: I mean, a charismatic, narcissistic king, loved blindly by his (kinda literally) brainwashed citizens who live in a fake state of happiness... The guy is a damn cult leader!
Guess everyone fell for his charisma, which would've made him extra dangerous if he had existed for real! XD

That doesn't matter she still ends up granting all the people's wishes anyway at the end, and is then made into a fairy godmother so that she can do it even more with no restrictions. For all we know she's responsible for half of Disney's villains. This movie goes directly against one of aladins messages 'be careful what you wish for' He isn't the villain here, but maybe if Disney had good writers who weren't hired to check a box, they would've made a good film.
