But Aladdin is the First Savior according to AfterBuzzTV interview with A and E; and Fehr looks older than Naveen. Like Jafar is old, I think we knew that from his flashback but Naveen himself looks younger.
Having just watched the interview in question, that wasn’t what they said. They said that Emma wasn’t the first savior, and that Aladdin was only a savior. No specific mention of Aladdin being the first one.
You’re right. I rewatched, my bad. But I’m still not sure how this goes with the timeline unless someone busted Jafar out of his lamp? And again…he’s a completely different person.
Which is…confusing. So what exactly is a “Savior” now? Is it like, a generic title like the word hero, or is it a specific thing (the ultimate one to break the curse or whatever). I mean, technically Regina was referred to as the savior at one point during the Zelena arc if I recall so I guess this shouldn’t be surprising. But Aladdin seems official, like Emma, in this savior role. Like he is THE savior of something, not just a hero.
Yes this is also something I’m struggling with because Emma’s the savior due to two things: her parents ultimate TL and Rumple putting a drop of that TL on to the Dark Curse ensuring she’d be the one to break it. So how is Aladdin a Savior of anything?
