but it sounds like he might just be using his usual Aussie accent?
Hmm, could be that.
I’m trying to fit how this could possibly work with what we know from WL and this “Many Years Ago” thing is so vague and annoying. Like, WL took place during season 2 of OUAT, so that’s 2012 if I’m not mistaken, and thus 4 years ago, which could technically be many years ago. Maybe Jafar really is/was Aladdin’s Genie and he freed Jafar from the lamp?
