The speaker discusses their thoughts on the Disney movie "Aladdin" and its live-action remake. They express their surprise at the amount of screen time dedicated to the genie's crush on a human handmaid, and their disappointment that Aladdin's first wish to become a prince doesn't work in either version of the movie. They also note that in the live-action remake, Jasmine is portrayed as more assertive and independent, a change they believe was not subtle enough in the original animated version.
The speaker then delves into a detailed analysis of the movie's wishing system, specifically Aladdin's first wish. They argue that the wish doesn't work in either version of the movie, and question what Aladdin should have wished for instead. They propose that Aladdin should have wished for Jasmine to become the Sultan, which would allow her to marry whomever she wanted. However, they acknowledge that this would create a crisis of succession and potentially lead to a power struggle.
The speaker concludes by stating that Aladdin's best bet would be to wish for Jasmine to get her own power, which would effectively promote a strong female theme more effectively than any imaginary power ballad. They encourage viewers to subscribe to their YouTube channel for more theories about their favorite films and TV shows.
