I keep hearing that but what is he supposed to be? Jasmine had attractive male suitors she just didn't like them because they were shallow/not good people. Jafar can be handsome without changing his character.I can already see the #EnslaveMeJafar hashtag from horny girls. He is way too good looking for what he is supposed to be.
Why does Jafar sound like such a dweeb? I sound more intimidating that that shit. What the fuck.
Look at this, fixed to something half way presentable in 10 minutes:
Being generous to Will, maybe this was just the moment of the lowest energy he gets and he'll reach the highs of his earlier career in the film... but such a moment seems an awkward thing to show off in a teaser. Who is teased into wanting to see more???

Well, Williams was an actual comic and pretty timeless. Will Smith's height of his career "high energy" is very much a 90s energy and vibe, which frankly doesn't really work nowadays (see Independence Day and MiB), so I'm not really sure it can get better in that regard.

This is honestly on the level of some deepfake. As if they had some 2D recording of will Smith, made him blue and slapped that on a cg head. Can only hope that this is very unfinished
I think Will Smith could definitely work.. but not like thisAdmitting, I never like the fact that Will Smith was the Genie and Disney isn't proving me wrong.
The CGI was bad but that line delivery was ever worse. So low energy and poorly paced.
There's a chance it's Jafar in disguise, like in the animated movie before. Maybe less "zany old man", but still putting on a voice?
Disney already had the perfect Aladdin looking guy
But they chose joe shmoe instead
What are you on about? Marry Poppins did great and way better than expected.Remember when some people were convinced Mary Poppins was gonna clean up at the box office?
I assume it's the same people that are oh so sure that this will gross a billion dollars.

Lol, you're probably right.I don't think this joke is fair to SyFy. They did a great job with "Happy!" which does have a well-realized magical blue cgi partner derived from a hand-drawn source material.
(Also they have The Magicians, which is straight-up fucking great since season 3).

This whole movie is worth it just for the memes.

Maybe I should wait and watch the movie with subtitles.Watched the castillian spanish version hoping for all gods that the voice of the genie was Ivan Muelas (will smith's most famous spanish voice actor, but sometimes they change his voice so I was a little scared) and thankfully its him. In fact, having watched both the spanish and the english trailer, Ivan's voice shits all over the zero energy Will Smith's portrayal has. Ivan is actually trying to channel the same spirit the spanish genie in the animated movie has (the amazing Josema Yuste, which is probably the most fondly remembered role spanish people have from the golden age of animated disney animated movies) and is no surprise he gets there only with a shout when he gets out of the lamp (that will smiths completely fails) and a fast talking phrase, becuase his range of voice is excellent, he can have a really cool guy voice (like Swayer from Lost, or Will Smith sometimes), to being stupidly normal and/or nerdy (Fry from Futurama and Zachary Levi's Chuck) to be completely stupidly bonkers (Billy in the grim adventures of Billy and mandy).
The worst part of the trailer, apart from the not so great CGI genie (i really hope the animation is what sells it, because it really has to be wonky with a lot of squatch and stretch so he feels animated) is Jafar.
WTF
Why did they do that? Thats the real shit part in the trailer. His voice in spanish is also a young guys voice (but thats understandable becuase of how it looks).
You mean watching it in castillian spanish with english subs? The genie uses a bunch of modisms in spanish, I dont think his portrayal would work that well with subs apart from his voice being more energetic.
