Liked:
– The flying carpet. Not having seen OUATWL, this is my first OUAT flying carpet. I found it oddly thrilling.
– Jafar. Again, it helps not having seen OUATWL.
Mixed feelings:
– Casting of Aladdin. Not quite what I expected. Still, maybe he’ll grow on me.
– Aladdin as the Saviour. This came out of nowhere and has no direct connection with Aladdin’s mythology. It also looks like the show’s ‘Saviour mythology’ will be updated this season, which is worrying after what they did with the Dark One mythology last season. Plus, we know that Emma’s going to get a happy ending, so it’s hard to get concerned about ‘Saviours don’t get happy endings’.
