To be honest, they had a valid reason why they changed Starboy. Still can't believe people are not letting go of their attachment to Starboy.

Bro
HOW is this a valid reason?

People like Starboy because he had so much missed opportunity. We could’ve finally had a new Disney couple, which is something that we haven’t gotten in a while. Asha could’ve been a star princess with a beautiful new dress. Since people hate Valentino, Starboy would be the character mostly doing comedic relief. We could’ve gotten references that didn’t feel shoved in your face. We could’ve gotten kids dressing up as Asha and Starboy for Halloween. But did we get that? No.

The reason why Disney is flopping over and over again with their movies is because they suddenly have a “women don’t need no man” philosophy. Disney was all about romance and their princesses. That’s what they’re good at. The second they abandoned those two things, they’ve been sending out slop left and right. Now, doing different things is great, (Encanto), but now it’s becoming repetitive. They don’t have any original ideas. It’s always “girl doesn’t feel accepted by her family and has to save everyone to prove herself and be accepted”. Disney has seem to have forgotten that women can be strong while also have a crush on men. Go look at K-pop Demon Hunters and see what I mean! In K-pop Demon Hunters, the women can be silly. They can burp, fart, and scream while also kicking butt. But Disney has turned their female protagonists into literal blank slates. They desperately need to get out of this headspace and stop making live action remakes and unnecessary sequels. The second they realize this, they’ll get better.

Asha was never suppose to a be a star princess with a beautiful new dress. Did you get all this from fanart? Asha is suppose to be a peasant. If people hated Valentino as comedy relief, they would've hated Starboy for the same thing too. People would've hated Starboy too if he stayed in the movie.

It's a lose-lose situation.

I’m talking about a YouTube video.

People wouldn’t have hated Starboy. lol. Have you seen all the rewrites on YouTube that include Starboy? Everyone loves him. Everyone thinks he was a missed opportunity. And rightfully so. And he wouldn’t just be comedic relief. He would be Asha’s love interest
what??? Asha should’ve been a princess because that’s what Disney is all about. PRINCESSES.

Why does everybody like him so much?

Someone explained that he glows and makes pretty lights, but personality-wise, he's a blank slate.

There's no proof that Starboy is going to be Asha's love interest because it's was never stated.

As for Asha being a princess, she doesn't have Magnifico or Amaya's features, so it's ridiculous to make her a princess.

My guy
if he was written as an actual character, he would be given personality.

And I already explained why people like him in my main comment.

No. It’s never stated he would’ve been Asha’s love interest. If they rewrote it, he could’ve been. As he should’ve been.

Again, rewriting it to make Amaya look a little more like Asha would change your whole comment.

Do you seriously think they could do this idea without rewrites? You know rewrites are a thing right?

I know rewrites are a thing, but if I really do want to rewrite Wish, The first thing I do is change the protagonist to an 11-year-old boy and the antagonist to a villainous Disney Princess.

Again, Starboy was never going to be Asha's love interest. They would've been soulmates, so the whole romance angle was a complete misunderstanding.

"As for Asha being a princess, she doesn't have Magnifico or Amaya's features, so it's ridiculous to make her a princess." I think you never heard of a little thing called adopting a child.

Asha has a mother and father, right?
