Aladdin (1992 Disney film)/Characters: Difference between revisions

== Aladdin ==

[[File:aladdin2_448.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type II]]. As a thief, a [[Trickster Archetype]], and a habitual liar, Aladdin may very well be one of the most morally ambiguous Disney protagonists yet.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: To some extent, though not as frequently as say, Iago. "Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!"

* [[Determinator]]:

* [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?]]

* [[Distressed Dude]]: Who is saved by the Genie.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Reportedly, he was redesigned during development because originally he was deemed not attractive ''enough''.

* [[Must Make Amends]]: After Aladdin {{spoiler|left behind the genie lamp, which led to Iago bringing it to Jafar, then Jafar using it to wish himself to be sultan and the world's most powerful sorcerer}}, Aladdin said:

* [[Nobody Calls Me Chicken]]

* [[No Social Skills]]: A mild case, again due to his having grown up on the streets, he often doesn't fit in at the palace. Although he does have a sort of common man's wisdom that impresses the Sultan enough to want to make him his royal advisor.

== Genie ==

----

* [[Badass Beard]]

== Jasmine ==

[[File:Jasmine_Princess_Pic.png|frame]]

----

* [[Action Girl]]: Not so much in the movie, but very much so in the series.

== Abu ==

[[File:abumonkey_8900.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type II]]. Noticeably more selfish than Aladdin, and continues to be exceedingly sneaky even into the sequels.

== Iago ==

[[File:iago2_4601.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Anti-Villain]] --> [[Anti-Hero]]: Even in the first movie, he's clearly the lesser of evils in comparison to Jafar. ''Return of Jafar'' {{spoiler|has him alternate between [[Face Heel Turn|Face Heel Turns]] and [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]], but eventually settles on a status that is (albeit barely) in the general direction of good, which carries over into the third movie.}}

== Sultan ==

[[File:sultan_2080.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Adipose Rex]]

== Rajah ==

[[File:rajah_5031.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: He acts like a (very tough) housecat.

== Jafar ==

[[File:jafar_610.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Multiple times. He starts as a [[Smug Snake]], then he becomes an [[Evil Sorcerer]], then he becomes a [[Physical God]]. In ''Return of Jafar'' he doesn't get any stronger, but he definitely gets ''smarter''.

* [[A God Am I]]

* [[Hypno Ray]]

* [[Jackass Genie]]/[[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: In ''Return of Jafar''.

== Razoul ==

[[File:razoul_5368.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Badass Beard]]

== Abis Mal ==

[[File:abis_mal_1563.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Bad Boss]]

== Cassim ==

[[File:cassim_3541.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Anti-Villain]] [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type II.]]

* [[Noble Demon]]

* [[Papa Wolf]]

* [[Skunk Stripe]]

* [[We Can Rule Together]]

== Sa'luk ==

[[File:saluk_6344.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]

== The Oracle ==

[[File:the_oracle_1116.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[The Omniscient]]

== Haroud Hazi Bin ==

[[File:haroud_4439.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Affably Evil]]

== Amin Damoola ==

[[File:amin_damoola_7737.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Beard of Evil]]

* [[Berserk Button]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]

* [[The Chew Toy]]

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Even [[Lack of Empathy|Mozenrath]] expressed some pity for him.

== Mechanikles ==

[[File:mechanikles2_854.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Ancient Grome]]

* [[Ditzy Genius]]

* [[Evil Genius]]

* [[Evil Laugh]]: He usually starts [[Annoying Laugh|coughing in the middle of it]].

* [[High-Class Glass]]: It's actually some sort of microscope.

== Sadira ==

[[File:sadira_8029.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type I or II]].

== Mozenrath ==

[[File:mozenrath_6064.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Artifact of Death]]: His gauntlet, the source of his power.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: While he is fairly good at making plans, Aladdin and his friends are just as good at foiling them. He spends one episode just sitting on his throne, and it ''still'' doesn't end in a complete loss for him.

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]

* [[Classic Villain]]: [[Pride]] and [[Green-Eyed Monster|Envy]].

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: He knows how to manipulate Aladdin to do his dirty work for him, that a hero makes a better hostage than a princess, and the convenience of [[Anti-Magic]], to name a few.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He dishes out snark as often as magic.

** He even manages to snark when he's [[Chewing the Scenery]]:

* [[Determinator]]: His refusal to give up rivals that of Aladdin.

* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Sort of. Using the Black Sand is one of his powers.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Towards Aladdin.

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]

* [[Lack of Empathy]]

'''Mozenrath:''' ''...And your point would be?'' }}

* [[Large Ham]]: Not to the same degree as most of the others, but it's there.

== Xerxes ==

[[File:xerxes_5586.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[The Igor]]

* [[Not So Different]]: From Iago.

* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]

* [[Undying Loyalty]]

* [[Asshole Victim]]

* [[The Dreaded]]

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: He became quite memorable, considering he only had a few seconds of screen-time, as well as no lines.

* [[Reforged Into a Minion]]

== Mirage ==

[[File:aladdin_mirage_4481.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Badbutt]]: She mostly stays out of any direct confrontation with the heroes, since the things an incarnation of all evil would do to her enemies in a battle probably wouldn't be very kid-friendly.

== Chaos ==

[[File:aladdin_chaos_4922.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Allergic to Routine]]

== Arbutus ==

[[File:arbutus_2315.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Anti-Villain]]: He's probably the least evil of the series villains (not the least ''effective'', Abis Mal is that, but the least ''malicious'') since he's only collecting a debt from the Sultan and doesn't hurt any of the characters before they hurt him.

'''Jasmine:''' "Arbutus, I... I think I understand." }}

* [[Badass Boast]]

* [[Beard of Evil]]

* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Being a plant and all.

== Mukhtar ==

[[File:mukhtar_1215.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Badass]]

== Fasir ==

[[File:fasir_3291.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Ambiguously Human]]

== Nasira ==

[[File:Nasira_6752.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Avenging the Villain]]: She's Jafar's sister (as if the image didn't make that obvious) and she's there to avenge him.

== Saleen ==

[[File:saleen_8073.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: She certainly has the attitude.

== Eden ==

[[File:eden_genie_8094.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Badass Adorable]]

== Thundra ==

[[File:thundra_4298.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]

== Malcho ==

[[File:malcho_3176.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Affably Evil]]: Possibly the best example from the series.

* [[Bad Boss]]: Played with when Iago becomes his sidekick.

* [[Brought Down to Badass]]: Even after losing his powers he's still a formidable enemy.

* [[Elemental Powers]]

== Minos, Fatima & Aziz ==

[[File:minos_fatima_aziz_5805.jpg|frame]]

----

* [[Badass Abnormal]]
