Were you mad when you saw that he hadn't pardoned Cassim and he left at the end of the film? I was a little mad, but I guess it shows that he is fair, and isn't like, bribed, or something.

No. I would have been kinda mad if he did, actually. That just would have been WAY too happy and obvious, I guess. And besides, it's not like Cassim came back and was like "Oh yeah, my bad. I'm sorry for stealin', pops" Laughing

.
Even as Aladdin's father and the sultan gaining a new son-in-law, that's not enough of an excuse to pardon him just because. Now, that might swing in Cassim's favor for having a hearing or a meeting with a sultan over it, if he does feel the need that he wants to be pardoned, which I don't think he does right now. Well, right then when the movie was going on, but not right then because it would take a while.....yeah, you get what I am trying to say Laughing

Yeah, in a way, I was sort of glad the Sultan didn't pardon him. That would sort of say something bad about the Sultan. That he was corrupt, or something like that. And I guess he wasn't really that that sorry for the life he led.

Yeah, let Cassim try to be pardoned during the movie. You know what sultan would have said to him?

*points to avatar* Laughing

Is that where you got your idea for the avatar? Laughing

It would have been funny if the Sultan had actually said something like that.

No, I wasn't mad. I liked the ending. It wasn't too fluffy, and Aladdin's suggestive eyebrow's made me laugh. Laughing

The thing I was mad at was how they just let Iago go like that! Shocked

After ALL they've been through? I'm sure if it was Abu Aladdin wouldn't allow it or if it was Rahja Jasmine would go crazy. Maybe they won't mind Genie leaving so much...but he won't leave no matter how many times they ask. Very Happy

Iago said abu was sad he was leaving but Aladdin sure wasn't crying a river. Confused

He also didn't mind Iago leaving when he helped Cassim escape. I wonder if it was because he knew Iago would come running, I mean flying for help if something happened to Cassim. But he seemed like he didn't want to know any more about him when he left the first time.

I'm not angered about it. Cassim was dishonest, he stole, he caused the postponing of more than one of his daughter's wedding, and a whole bunch of other stuff. And he wasn't heroic or honest about it like Aladdin was when he came back. And he didn't do what he did "out of love," so it was unpardonable. It shows that the sultan is a fair ruler.

Also if the sultan did, it would be waayyy too unrealistic. That would stink.

I want to know if they ever re-pardoned Iago. Laughing

Yeah, but anyway, as cool as he is, he's the freaking King of Thieves, and he was probably wanted in Agrabah long before the wedding. And besides, the other kingdoms would probably be really pissed if they found out Agrabah was harboring him and would want him extradited for his crimes there...

I think Cassim wouldn't have fit in anyway. And I mean, how would you like a lying thief in your palace who openly admitted he couldn't change? Meeeeh.

Would you really want to live with your parents after you were married anyway? It's bad enough they have to live with Sultan. Laughing
