I'm wondering; in the Aladdin TV series (or movies) is there ever an instance of a person coming back from the dead? I mean not in the sense of Mozenrath's Mamluks, or a spirit appearing for a brief moment, but someone actually getting resurrected.

Jasmine, in a way, in the Ethereal. She was dead for like...a minute and a half, but it happened Laughing

Argh I can't find a detailed enough summary of The Ethereal, or a transcript. This little detail about resurrection is really important for something I'm writing and I was wondering if maybe you could summarize what happened for me...especially the end where Jasmine dies and comes back to life. I'm guessing the freaky looking face thing that came to judge Agrabah brought her back from death?

Thanks!

Well this is totally by memory, so someone correct me if I am mistaken in anything...

But Jasmine dove to push a young boy out of the way of a crumbling building and is killed by the building. The Ethereal sees the Jasmine realizes the most important thing in the city is its people and decides to stop terrorizing the city.

Aladdin held Jasmine and wondered why she stopped now that Jasmine was lost. The scene got all pretty, and Jasmine just gently awakened.

Yeah, what she said Laughing

. There was a little boy that was about to get crushed under a huge rock that was come off a crumbling building, and she pole vaults all the way over the huge pile of all ready fallen rocks that are seperating him from his mother to push him out of the way in time before he gets hit. This instead hits her, and I assume she dies on impact. Aladdin gets her body out of the rubble and the Ethereal is near-by watching all of this happen. Everyone near-by starts to mourn the loss of the princess and the Ethereal starts to fix all the damage she's done to the city. Aladdin asks "why spare us now?" as he's holding Jasmine's body, and she says her sacrifice means she understood what makes the city so great, which were the people. Then she waves her hand and Jasmine is resurrected. Again, this takes place in about a minute and a half's worth of time, but she did die and was brought back, so I don't know if that counts Laughing

Do you need an example from Aladdin?

Cuz Megara from Hercules had an interesting resurrection.

I need an example from Aladdin because it has to do with a part of a fic I'm writing.

HmmMMMmMm is it possible that Jasmine actually...was on the brink of dying but didn't actually die...you know like one of those fake deaths that the animators make all dramatic so the audience will be sad. Is it possible that the goddess brought her back from an unconscious state?

Nah, it's pretty much stated that she's dead. I mean, you could claim an unconscious state, but I don't know how convincing that would be. For me personally, at least!

THANK YOU Calluna for saving me from inconsistency and plotholes. Hahaha. I'm going to go with the fact that Aladdin's not a doctor, and even if she did "die" for a minute or so, her heartbeat may have stopped but she could still be resuscitated quickly, like with a defribillator...except this is 3rd century Arabia and they use goddess magic instead.

No prob.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but there were two times Jafar was brought back, once in Hercules and the Arabian Night, and once in Nasira's Revenge. (Or was he just almost brought back? I never finished that game...) Neither of those were in the movies or sequels, though. I'm guessing you just want to make sure that no one's been brought back from the dead in canon to make sure it's not contradicting something you wrote, right?

Yes, this saved me from a contradiction. I haven't actually written that part of Antiphony yet, and it's not a huge detail, but it's there, and I'm obsessed with consistency. So thanks again.

Ah, good, I thought at first you were looking for ideas of how to bring someone back. Now I don't have to write a big long post about "As the Netherworld Turns". Laughing

UMMM actually I don't remember the episode As the Netherworld Turns...and am highly intrigued by it now from the one liner about it in the Aladdincyclopedia. Soooo if you have some time and patience would you be able to tell me how it relates to resurrection? Hehe. Ayam Aghoul's in that, huh. What did that guy want with Agrabah again? Did he just want to come back to life?
