"See this kingdom? I built it up / And you still complain? Ungrateful much?"

Sorry Karo, again, but this one almost feels like it was aiming low, given that it's a song that quite literally went viral earlier this yaer for how uninspired it is compared to typical Disney songs.

Chris Pine is a great singer (his rendition of Agony with Billy Magnussen from Into the Woods is a go-to favorite), but you can barely tell here. I think they tried to capitalize on how big You're Welcome got a few years back by trying to replicate that song's mix of upbeat vocals slipping in and out of quips. The problem is that where that felt like it had personality, this just feels bland, so the quipping is less fun and more forced.

Also, seriously, who wrote this? "Ungrateful much? Mm, are you sure that you're not the prob?" I haven't seen Wish, is part of his character arc being the Steve Buscemi "how do you do fellow kids" type? It does do a decent enough job explaining its villain at least. Magnifico is clearly powerful and cocky about it, emphasizing how humble and gracious he is, but there is definite malice underneath it as he begins to talk about the traitor. There's obvious potential here, which only makes it more disappointing.
