How is it possible Antonio Banderas gave us the best Disney villain song of the 2020s without being in a Disney movie?

[@WEYYYY874]

Antonio Banderas should play a Disney villain, like he is GOOD in what he does

I love how Herod says “Mine is the kingdom, power, and glory” in the song, and then later in the film the Magi tell Jesus “Thine is the kingdom, power, and glory” to show that Herod is full of it and Jesus is the true king.

[@Annahg78]

Me too!

[@foleni_masoe685]

Me too 😢❤️❤️

[@Adamguy2003]

You got it! It shows how Herod's narcissism has crossed the line into blasphemy, that he truly sees himself as a god incarnate, rather than the One who is soon to be born and rightfully has that title.

[@ericabardeau5520]

And the tune of that section is the same as the famous Lords Prayer song!! Great reference!

[@mare678]

To see Antonio Banderas OWN the role as Herod is a LOT of fun for me! From the first time I watched and heard him perform the most compelling Phantom of the Opera I'd ever seen/heard, when he performed in a tribute show to Andrew Lloyd Weber, I have been a huge fan. And Joel Smallbone's voice blends PERFECTLY with Antonio's.

[@chrisdiowight3533]

How come THE Disney makes the worst possible villain song for their arguably most important film ever, yet some random movie about Jesus being born spits absolute FIRE for their villain theme??

[@mweyant100]

I read that this movie was planned over a period of 17 years.:)

[@crowtzilla461]

Probably because the instrumental is just Muse's Uprising.

[@WEYYYY874]

1:46 the walk he does is so funny it’s like he just doesn’t care and I love him for it

[@saramartin4745]

I love this in so many levels. The music,, the voices of Antonio Banderas and Joel Smallbone, incredible. And the "mine is the kingdom, power and glory" that took me out of guard, i love it.

[@ntnoah3204]

2:50 Antonio really gave his performance to another level and I couldn't believe how good he sounded!

[@nocursewm2938]

This song was used in a proof of concept Transformers video. It had Magatron sing this. It worked surprisingly well.

[@grenfield5841]

I’m sorry! I’m not even religious! This is so much better than the new villain songs that Disney has made!

[@Ragingballofchaos]

The dance Antipater (is that how you spell it? Whatever, the guy Joel plays) did and Herod saying "I'm gonna kill him" killed me

Agreed all the way! A) Best villain- song since "Agatha All Along." B) Excellent point, including both the lyrics and the scenes with him forcing the crowd to bow down to and worship him. He truly saw himself as a god, blasphemy incarnate.

[@thehannahouse]

@@Adamguy2003exactly!!!

[@oklaclarinet]

Not only do the lyrics reference The Lord's Prayer, but also when they do so, the music is melodically referencing the well-known setting by Albert Hay Malotte.

[@theideamaker2561]

This song surprised me when I first heard it it as I love Joel from for KING & COUNTRY and I love Antonio Banderas and to see them as father and son AND have a song together made me really hyped for it!! I met Joel and his brother Luke several years ago during their Christmas tour before their concert and they were so amazing to get to interact with!! So to see Joel involved in a beautiful project like Journey To Bethlehem got me excited!! This song is such a great villain song and a great set up for Antipater and his admiration for his father Herod and a great setup to show how Herod was a power hungry and ruthless ruler. This is easily my favorite villain song out of others I’ve heard and it’s amazing to see the Biblical Easter eggs thrown into it! Like when Herod is being carried by his soldiers and how it’s like they’re carrying him as if crucified in a possible foreshadowing of Jesus being crucified as an adult, the part where he says “Mine is the kingdom, mine is the glory, mine is the power forever more” being reused in The Nativity Song which turns “mine” into “thine” who shows the true rightful ruler which is our Lord Jesus Christ! Amazing movie and such an amazing cast and crew!! God Bless you all for making such an amazing powerful film!! This is now a new Christmas tradition for my family and I!!

[@fashionablechangeling2003]

For the most part, the scenes with Mary and Joseph take themselves seriously, everything else is campy and OTT

[@asiawaffles6916]

I think it is both. They definitely still try to project the story of Jesus' birth, but in a way that is more approachable for a general audience. Kind of like, let's tell this story but put a modern spin so it doesn't feel the same.

[@gokuandmario4ever]

*_Lyrics:_* It's good to be king And have the absolute authority All the attributes of divinity I'm a religion Look how they all worship me Don't have to be good To be a good king Just gotta look Like you've got sympathy Then keep 'em rooked and suffering To maximize your profiting Look how the peasants work down to the bone As I sit up high on my velvety throne Pulling the strings on the people below It's so stinking good to be king Mine is the kingdom Mine is the power Mine is the glory Forever More Kiss the ring, babies, kiss the ring Everybody hates me Ha, ha, ha! It's good to be king And be the one who screams "Off with his head!" Or be the one who's deemed Savior instead It's delicious To watch a man begging for his death I put in a knife and then give it a twist A smile opens up on my sinister lips The joy of the crown is too much to resist It's so stinking good to be king (I just love it!) Mine is the kingdom Mine is the power Mine is the glory, forever more Forever more Forever more It's so stinking good to be king!
