So let me get this straight
He could get Aladdin out of the cave without him having to wish for it
He could send the carpet to save Aladdin from the ends of the earth without him having to wish for it
He could make Aladdin a formidable dancer without him having to wish for it
He could magically make Ababua appear on the map without him having to wish for it
But he couldn't simply get Aladdin out of the water if he could not wish for it
WHY ?
Because Genie's telling you a story about shit that already happened and you can't change the past.
Haven't seen the live action version, but
>He could get Aladdin out of the cave without him having to wish for it
He was tricked. Based on his song and dance routine in his introduction, there's really no limit to how often he can use his powers. But when it comes to responding to the wants and needs of his master, there's some kinda rules. The rules obviously don't restrain him physically, so I guess it's something else. He also can't choose not to respond to the wishes of his master, as seen by Jafar.
>He could magically make Ababua appear on the map without him having to wish for it
I'm guessing this is from the live action version. Aladdin's wish was "to be a prince". You can't be a prince without a kingdom, so it's a package deal.
>But he couldn't simply get Aladdin out of the water if he could not wish for it
Rules.
>Haven't seen the live action version
Then please don't reply thank you
Xoxo
just dropping in to say that the original story had two genies
disney turned one of them into the flying carpet
Isn't that the genie of the ring?
Original movie Aladdin tricked the genie into practically granting him one freebie.
>He could magically make Ababua appear on the map without him having to wish for it
He did wish for it. You need a kingdom to be a prince. Aladdin wished to be a prince, Genie just never granted that one, he just made it look like he did.
Yeah, but the original story is stupid.
Original Aladdin has a genie with infinite wishes, yet in order to get into a city, he beats up a hobo to steal his clothes to make a disguise.
the dance and the map is part of the prince thing
Genies are tricksters.
Sinbad is actually a much worse human being than Aladdin. A total fucker.
this is now a sinbad thread
Yeah the live action version really fucked up displaying what was and wasn't in Genie's ability to do. Like when he was asked to distract the handmaiden so Aladdin could woo Jasmine, how the fuck does that work? The whole point of Genie's phenomenal power was at the cost of free will, the ultimate monkeys paw. In the original cartoon Genie only slipped up once, to get Aladdin out of the cave. Everything else was entirely up to Aladdin to accomplish outside of a wish. At least there you could argue Genie was allowed to give out ONE freebie as a demonstration of power, but again it's all vague.
To be fair the entire point of the collection of stories is to be as violent/mystical/sexual as possible because they're being told by a scared girl whose husband is gonna chop her head off if he gets bored.
you can talk about the movie but you have to post sinbad
sinbad is the one of the LEFT user
this might not actually be sinbad's character from the HBO animated series Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child but I'm 89% sure it is
that show was actually really good. it was diverse before it was cool to be diverse but the diversity did a lot to enrich the familiar fairy tale narratives
uh... is this real life?
thot patrol
oh shit I'm actually running out of Yea Forums sinbad
if I had all my steven universe eps I could just screencap this guy all gay long
How old are you?
is will smith azul stronger than will smith fish?
He never made Aladdin a real prince. Genie is full of bullshit from the start.
Look, sometimes you just gotta beat up a hobo.
yall see them trips
napkins are always free!
napkins are al... ways... free!
I don't think I can ever forgive sucrose for this
sinbad played a monkey in 2017
the lion guard
if you don't know, now you know
He said "no more freebies"
>This whole thread
>Haven't seen the live action version

I was really starting to doubt myself

someone needs to update his imdb page
Considering that he was made all that shit for millenniums and everything ends with him on the lamp he was being a dick for no reason
I mean literally,he could save Aladin without problems after all it was his only friend
yeah
