So..
In watching True and the magic kingdom, I think True's wishes are an allegorical device for "how writers solve problems."
It could be more abstracted, though. True facing the problems herself makes it more of a personal involvement. I could imagine an ideal of this would be a tv series about a writer of "deus ex machina." Someone who goes around fixing problems, but requiring poetic justice to work..
Ps, near the end of episode two seems to have a really genuine friendship jealousy concern revolved in a really powerful way.
True and the magic kingdom: spoilers & insight into ep 5, the great stink Afficher plus
At the end of ep 5, the way to solve the problem was to give a depressed, floating king NOT a black, dark, held raincloud, but a compressed cloud of wretched stink. In a way, it was empowering. He didn't bring a dark cloud, just a cloud that was subjectively bad.
In fact, they had a song about that. The stink had appeared pleasant to a few folk in the show already. The fact the depressed king liked it, and so did a main char, came up. But at the end, everybody sang about how they cause no trouble to be themselves, as everybody does different harmless things.
