[quote="Magdaleina"]For me, when I was younger, it was the action and the pop culture references (especially in the series). Now, it's the sheer nostalgia, though Aladdin has been left behind and is second on my list of favorite Disneys.

I remember rewatching the movie a while back and thinking of how much the changes in Jasmine's character irked me. She was this frail but freedom-thirsting princess, but the moment she stepped out of the palace the first time, she was out of her element and could not take care of herself. You /never/ see her transition from that to what she is in the series. She's entirely more gutsy; she can handle weapons, she can /defend/ herself.

When did that happen? I'm sorry, but you don't just grow amazing acrobatic skills overnight or just by watching other people do it a million times. We never really got to see that development, and it's a shame. That's just one example of things that the series and movies had the potential for but never explored.

I find Aladdin fun, but the movies and series certainly do not pick up my favorite characters for analysis -- which is my passion. Sure, I was an incurable Mozenrath fanatic at one point in time, but I fell in with the gigantic crowd that attempted to make up a lot of wangsty junk to do with his past to excuse his behavior -- which isn't being a fan. It's slapping a pretty face on a character that you, yourself, made up. After all, it's frowned upon to try and change a /real/ person so you can love them; why do it to a fictional character?
