Just out of curiosity, is there anything in the TV series that didn't go the way you think it should have? Like, I wanted to see a bit more into Aladdin's past -- Amal, Fatima, Minos and Aziz were interesting, but they didn't give any insight to EXACTLY what Aladdin's childhood life was like.
I'd also liked to have seen them give their mother a name and a face (although I have high hopes the DVD will at least give us the latter ^^)

I'd also have been ecstatic if the show had given us any confirmation on the "Mozenrath is Aladdin's brother" theory.

Well, we've seen his mother's face, or what was intended to be his mother's face, in the original film ("Getting into truble a little early today, aren't we, Aladdin?"). But I agree, I would have loved to hear more about his background. Same for Mozenrath!

As odd as this might sound, I wanted to see more inside the palace and the servants that work there. I also wanted to see more of Agrabah and the kingdoms of the seven deserts.

Well, I would have like some payoff to the angles of Fatima, Minos, and Malcho. All three are left hanging with plans for revenge and no pay off.

I would have loved more Amin Damoolah/Mozenrath stuff. I think it has some humor potential.

I've always thought that "As the Netherworld Turns" would have been a perfect place to bring Jafar back into the series, even if for only a cameo. You'd think he'd probably be roaming the palace, giving his domination plans an all. But, it must of been in his cards to become a new arrival in the Grecian underworld years after his death. Confused

I have a problem with how fast the ending to "Seems Like Old Crimes" comes about; it feels rushed to me. Once Jasmine is taken to the Temple of Destiny, the episode flys to a conclusion that feels weird given the set up. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

One of my biggest problems in the series are how the Forty Thieves are portrayed in KOT. "Welcome to the Forty Thieves" is a bit much. I know they were going for the idea of loyalty among members, but dancing with pink ribbons is a bit much.

The only character's background that I would have loved to seen more of would be Iago's. They referred to it alot, but it would have been interesting had they flashed back and shown us something.

And I'm with AG- more servants. I'm glad the guards and Abim got screen time, but there have to be some interesting people in that palace that could make a good episode.

Where in the series does it offer information about Mozenrath being Aladdin`s brother?! I don`t recall anything.I doubt that they are related.That`s a scary thought.

Rumor has it that Mozenrath and Aladdin being brothers was the original idea for King of Thieves, but that it was scrapped when they couldn't get Jonathan Brandis, and they decided to distance the film from the series, anyways. It think it could have been a really cool idea, personally. Can you imagine the looks Aladdin's and Mozenrath's faces when they found that out? Razz

I had an even WEIRDER family tree idea, but it didn't involve Mozenrath. >D

My username and I are thankful that Mozenrath was not the villain. Very Happy
