I'm writing this to vent. don't take offence to this, majority of it comes from me wanting everything to follow the Og to a T.

What was hated:

1. Lyric chnages. ESPECIALLY in friend like me. (I liked the best boxing and lyrics that came after that, but other than that, nothing else) It sounded messy and was unnecessary. In prince Ali it was good 👌 but sounded forced in friend like me.

2. How much softer it was 🙄 what I LOVEDDD about Aladdin was how different it was because the princess literally KISSED the villain?! Now yes it was gross, but at the same time it made it so much more engaging and such a big shock factor.

3. Whatever tf they did to Aladdin and Jasmines personalities. Again, Disney is trying to hard to be inclusive, I appreciate the feminism and what not but Jasmine wanting to be sultan??
Aladdin was even WORSE, now this isn't the best words to describe the og Aladdin but he was more charismatic, more lively, perky? But the new Aladdin was so much more monotone??? Nonchalant. It just didn't feel right.
ESPECIALLY during his prince era. He wasn't EMBRACING it like og Aladdin. He wasn't confident at the start like of Aladidn. He looked unsure during prince Ali whereas og was blowing kisses and grinning.

4. I feel like Genie wasn't done justice too. Idk. A lot of people will hate me for this, I'm not saying Will Smith did a bad job but he didn't seem as excited and loud and Genie originally Was. Not saying I can do better, but it felt like he was holding back.

5. Jafar actually fucking scared me. Now I guess this is a good thing? But he scared me in a guy being a creep sorta way. I think it was his eyes.

What was liked:

1. I said this before but the COLOURRRRRRR

2. Aladdin's dance scenes. (Friend like me and when dancing with Jasmine) it was attractive and sooo satisfying. His actor is really talented.

3. Dahlia and Genie. that was cute. I liked that. I loved how straight forward she was. "Also I want children." Also, her friendship with Jasmine was cute too.
