[quote="Meesh"]All of this assumes someone else will voice Iago and Genie... It feels off, especially for Iago at this point. I just don't want to write them out. I think I'd leave KoT as is. It's perfect.

1. Obviously better animation. I like a lot of the recent 2D-ish styles that have been popping up lately. Maybe one of those, but w/e as long as it's good!

2. Make it less racist :lol: Maybe this should have been number one? haha. Either all the Arabs have authentic accents, or they all of American accents. None of this only-give-cartoonish-accents-to-throwaways nonsense. The Arab pun names are cute to me, but I might get some advice on whether they're actually really offensive. I'm only half Middle Eastern and I've never been there, and I don't speak almost any of it, so I don't think my opinion counts so much here.

3. Go big budget on the music! The score to Tangled has inspired me on this point. I don't really want to add musical numbers to it though. That's not really my thing, although people do like it, and it could make extra money. It could also be a way to incorporate some RoJ songs that are actually good without putting them into a RoJ remake. So I'm open to it.

4. Redo Return of Jafar. I like Iago's arc in it, and I like the foil between Jafar and Abis Mal. And I do like the songs. But it could all use an update. And it needs to end more open-ended. Aladdin wants to see the world, but like... okay? Maybe something a little more interesting. Ideas on what this could be could be its on essay. But maybe something like some coalition of djinn hears about Genie's freedom and Jafar's murder and invite Aladdin to their land or something.

5. Create a through-line. Picking up from my previous point. I feel like Aladdin's exploring the world isn't really a thing so much in the series. We need a more specific goal, and one that can update at the end of each season. For example, the gang gets tied up with some djinn, that could be a season with lots of characters. Could even introduce Eden this way. Tease Mozenrath throughout, then the season ends with him trying to capture all of the djinn. The next season is the gang rescuing the djinn. The next season is Mozenrath's big arc. There should be another big villain, maybe Mirage, that Mozenrath eventually has to ally with the gang to defeat. I'm literally coming up with this on the spot, so don't poke the holes in it.

6. Develop the best characters, and tie up the loose ends. I'm thinking Mozenrath and Mirage x Fasir specifically for loose ends, and Sadira for further development. Don't hate me, but I have always been a Mozenrath x Sadira fangirl. I have thought this through, and I think it could be done and done well. Sadira's development I think is actually one of the best in the series, and I think her actually finding romance after a time of learning to love and respect herself could be a really good next stage.

7. Keep some episodes roughly the same (ex. Bad Mood Rising, The Spice is Right, Riders Redux) but give them relevance to the through-line.

8. Keep some ideas and characters but change the episodes. I already mentioned having Eden as a character but not necessarily keeping "Some Enchanted Genie." For example, I LOVE the idea of a suitor who hasn't heard yet that Jasmine is engaged (Uncouthma), and I think Uncouthma is a good character. And I like that episode, and I love the watermelon-in-the-window quote. But otherwise I'm not married to the specifics of it.

8. Can probably lose some characters, especially the spirites :lol: and I'm not married to most of the one-off characters.[/quote]
