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?
Except In-show Timeline wise, it hasn’t been 4 years. It has been roughly 9 months – 1 year (If that).
Wha…?
I keep forgetting that time has passed differently in the show. So this 100% has to take place during WL or before WL then? Okay… so….how does Princess Jasmine fit into this? Wouldn’t she need to be Jafar’s sister to still be a princess (which honestly, I wouldn’t put past this show. For non-WL fans, Jafar is the son of the sultan of Agrabah in the once-verse). If this is before or during WL, then Jafar is still after genies to complete his goal, so okay perhaps that explains how he and Aladdin know eachother (he wants Al’s genie) But…you know idk. I just don’t know whats going on or how its going on anymore. Aladdin is a savior, Jafar is a prince, the stick gained weight. I just, Idk.
