Aladdin Central Messageboard

[Lotus]

btw you can't wish for more wishes, or for love, or to bring back the dead (same as in the movie )

I'd wish for:
1) LOTS A MONEY so I never have to worry about it again
2) The ability to fly! (without a plane lol)
3) That Aladdin was a real life historical event and not just a story, haha Would've loved to have met Aladdin in real life!

[Meesh]

1. World peace through unity in truth. (really epic sounding, eh?)

If I could possibly want anything at all after that...

2. Unlimited source of money. I would then end poverty and pamper myself and my loved ones.

3. To be able to write the most moving pieces of music in all past and present that nobody ever gets tired of.

Ooh, this is a good question. If I met a real genie, it would be so hard to choose a wish

Maybe I'd wish to be a powerful sorceress, so I could just take care of all my extra wishes on my own that way. Loop hole!

But those big wishes usually come with some sort of drawback, don't they?

[Joblom]

1.) Great Wisdom

2.) Lots of Charisma

3.) Maybe I'd set the genie free... I don't know. Hopefully all of that wisdom would help me decide.

[Meesh]

If they existed, I could wish for all the world's genies.

That's not the same as wishing for more wishes

But then you'd get all the bad ones, too, and you don't know what they'll do to you

I guess there'd be a way around most of the loopholes, the "more wishes" taboo being the easiest. I guess wishing for sorcery is the easiest, and also the safest: Jafar does pretty good before he blows it all on his last wish.

Personally, I think it would be quite cool if wishing for unlimited wishes was allowed...but turned the greedy wish-er into a genie if it was attempted. Why? Because as genie, they technically have the ability to grant unlimited wishes in their lifetime. Three to each master will add up, after all.

That said, should I end up with a genie in my possession then:

1) Free the genie. Technically, this should come last. But striking a contract with the genie, whereby if I'm alive and satisfied by the third wish, I then wish them free, should help me get what I want from the first two.

2) Wish that all the world has a comfortable standard of living, in which all their basic human needs (mental and physical) are met, in a manner appropriate to their culture. (I don't want to turn all the world into a monolithic culture-wasteland because of a bad wish...).

3) Wish for the ability to mind-control all invertebrates, and for this ability to be 100% heritable. (Why should my kids miss out? they get superpowers too!) Of course, I could wish for general magic/sorcery, but this has more style. Besides, I'm sure there's little that couldn't be achieved with enough wasps.

1: Everyone would learn how to actually LISTEN.
2: The ability to see the truth, no matter what.
3: Either a) free the genie AFTER I ask him to tell me if he'll go on a revenge-fueled rampage, and since I can see the truth, he couldn't lie to me, or b) if he is going to go on a rampage, wish for the ability to turn invisible whenever I want, then drop the lamp into the ocean.

Hmmm...requires a lot of careful thinking. What is it I want most? He can't bring people back from the dead, so I can't wish to meet Queen Isabella, Empress Carlota, or any of them. So...well, first, I would wish for lots and lots and lots and lots of money. That's many wishes in itself, I think. Cruises, trips, living well, etc. And now the other two...to grant me magical powers? No...perhaps instead, I should wish to meet all my favorite actors, Fernando Colunga, Adela Noriega, Altair Jarabo. And now, my last wish, to give me a magic carpet! I always wanted ride on a magic carpet.

Hmmm.... You could still get to meet historical figures if there isn't a restriction on time travel. Just pop back to meet them, or have the genie bring them to the present. Of course, this opens up all the problems of time travel, but those are problems for another day.

A dinner party for historical figures and fave celebrities would be absolutely awesome...

[persian85033]

Wishing for time travel! Another great idea for a fic! Now I just have to find the time to write them!

[JafarsRomancer]

Lol, I'd probably wish for selfish things. Let's see...

1. To bring Jafar into real life xD
2. Have eternal youth (like stay about 1
3. Have eternal beauty

Rofl, I sound so self-absorbed.

[Rajah]

1. Unlimited amount of money (so I won’t have to work anymore, lol)

2. Never grow old

3. Free the genie (unless it’s evil, then I’d wish for something else).

[GenieInABottle]

I'd wish for:
1. Physical Beauty
2. Celebrity status
3. Last wish is the hardest.......I don't know yet. Might save it for the genie or something.

[lisa jane]

1. My own house (already paid off for, of course)
2. To have more knowledge in the way of all thing geeky so I can follow conversations between my husband and my friends more easily... like, at all
3. Already have a baby (would definitely speed along the next several months)
