#24: Aladdin: Genie’s Scheme

Genie from Aladdin used to be my favorite character (who else would it be? Aladdin? Jasmine? No way), and after reading this theory, I like him even more, for some reason. When Aladdin’s initial wish was to become a prince, the Genie’s response appears to be more of a clever strategy than immediate magic. To genuinely make Aladdin a prince, it would require more than just clothing and titles.

However, the Genie’s actions seemed deliberate in not taking this route. Instead, he orchestrated a series of events that allowed Aladdin and Jasmine to marry without any royal impediments, effectively securing Aladdin’s princely status as a consequence of their union. This theory shows Genie’s cunning and foresight, revealing a deeper layer of complexity to his character and his role in Aladdin’s journey.
