I always thought Destiny on Fire was a bit off

To be honest, my issue with this episode could extend to the whole Aladdin show, but it was really highlighted in the premise of this episode.

Aladdin and Razoul are forced to work together to defeat Aziz, who’s taken over Agrabbah in Aladdin’s absence. The two men have to overcome their extreme dislike for each other, and by the end of the episode, they’ve come to a friendly understanding with each other, accepting each other for who they are. Aladdin even remarks that one day, he’ll be Sultan and relying on Razoul as his staunch captain of the guard.

Now, maybe it was just me, but even as a kid, I couldn’t help but find Aladdin to be extremely forgiving of the man who tried many times to cut off his hands, outright tried to murder him by drowning him in the ocean, and gleefully tried to behead him for the supposed murder of the Sultan. If that were me, I would not have forgotten any of those prior incidents, and Razoul would have been looking for work, at the very least, when I came into my own as the Sultan. The guy was a brute, and a sadist who took real pleasure in dealing out capital punishment.

Would Jasmine have believed Aladdin if he'd actually told her the truth?

Let's be honest, Aladdin's story would be a hard sell. "So I really was just a street rat, but then after this old guy broke me out of jail, he led me to a magic cave out in the desert and there was all this treasure inside! I found this one lamp that had a genie inside it and everything! And so I made a wish to become a prince, and here I am!"

How prevalent was magic in Agrabbah? Would Jasmine have accepted its existence? Would she have needed to see Genie for herself before she believed Aladdin's story? Would she have wanted three wishes of her own?

Imagine Jasmine started acted like Nikki from 'Obsession' if the Genie actually did grant Jafar's wish of making her love him.
