Make Jafar The Victim Again

Jafar was deposing a corrupt and spendthrift sultan who was bankrupting the sultantate at the expense of its people. He did literally nothing wrong except lose. If Disney wants me as a viewer all it would take is a political drama tv show starring Jafar navigating Ottoman court politics lorded over by the mad sultan.

!besties :marseygossip: Thoughts?

Would be kino, especially if the Sultan is genuinely well-meaning but incompetent and Jaffar starts out being loyal to him but gradually grows to resent him.

I don't think Hollywood writers could pull it off. It would be an interesting disney-millennials-growing-up-with-the-IPs-they-know TV show.

It would also require an understanding of Islam impossible for an atheist.

:marseythinkorino: Make a point about people wishing for silly things when there are people in the streets suffering... This could be pretty good!

Monstro was never evil though, he's just a giant whale, a force of nature like Moby Peepee.

Mostro is the victim of Industrialism and Colonialism.

You (the "foid You") don't NEED spermaceti for consumer products. You just don't want to go without it even the cost of the life of Mostro.
