Episode 67: Disney’s Villain Problem: Wish vs. Hazbin Hotel
Disney’s Wish promised magic, but without a strong villain, it never truly took off. This week, Mel and John break down why King Magnifico fell flat and how Hazbin Hotel, of all things, delivers sharper stakes, richer conflict, and more memorable antagonists than Disney’s latest feature.
We compare storytelling, discuss what modern audiences want from a villain, and explore Disney's more recent storytelling trends.
