    They freed Amara from the stick!

    If Amara had the power to do it all along why didn’t she?

    I was a bit confused about this as well but thought that maybe id missed something? Didn’t they say if they took her to the well of wonders that she’d be freed and the brothers wouldn’t be genies anymore… Or something? Why didn’t they just do that? Wouldn’t that have prevented Jafar from completing the spell since he would have no genies? Perhaps Jabberwocky had the power to undo her transformation? Idk >> somebody unconfuse me

    Only if they return the waters, meaning Amara has to die.

    If Amara had the power all along, and she only waited until all three of her sons were together in one place that still doesn’t explain how she was going to make Jafar do the spell with her.

    Well she seemed pretty sure she was stronger than him. Heck. She almost killed him if he hadn’t killed Cyrus, I think she would have won. I think perhaps, she just let Jafar gather her sons, and would have let him cast the spell at which point she would have returned to normal, and then disposed of Jafar.

    Yeah the one thing she didn’t bank on was Jafar killing Cyrus. (sad face)

    Just sorta feels like a cop out

    Perhaps being a staff halted her aging so that she could live long enough to free her sons from their slavery of being genies.

    I guess she was waiting for the perfect moment, when all three of her sons were together in one place with Jafar. Until then, there was no point in showing her…hand. (bad pun?)

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out she could free herself the whole time, and just had to wait for the right moment.

    If they succeed in changing the laws of magic, then time paradoxes are allowed, and the Amara who is fighting Jafar could be from the future. Kind of a Bill & Ted “where should we put the keys?” situation.

    Mind.Blown!!!! But if so, then she wouldn’t be surprised to see Cyrus dead, in fact, she’d have known it was going to happen. Perhaps it was all an act?
