Do you think Queen La gave Jafar his staff or do you think he stole it? And are you still thinking about Atlantis like I am? Let me know below!

Thanks for watching fun people and have a magical day!
Considering the lengths he was willing to go to gain control, along with his backstory, it's likely he stole the staff. Then again, he is rather cunning and manipulative, so he could've also befriended and/or tricked La into giving Jafar his staff. This is only my opinion, of course, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
1. I think he stole it. also i was watching Harry Potter Tge Prisoner of Azkaban and i noticed that when Harry blew up his aunt he didnt have a wand at all. How does Harry know wandless magic or was it an accident
I think he dint steal the staff or the what given to him i think he mad the staff but stole ah piece of the jewl of the lepord staff that would explain why jafars powers where weaker in the beginning
"Just where did you say you were from?" "Much farther than you traveled I'm sure." "Try me." I think this dialogue between Jafar and Prince Ali (Aladdin) as the Sultan is flying on the carpet could give a good idea that Jafar traveled to a far place to get the staff.
Yes and also Jafar was already suspicious of Prince Ali. But this answer was not convincing. Jafar knew there was something just not quite right about him. His fate was sealed
You know; I have seen Aladdin many many so many times and I have NEVER noticed that the mouth of the serpent staff is closed when Jafar is "normal" and open when he is "The Most Powerful Sorcerer in the World!" Thank you so much for pointing that out!
Iago in the animated series does mention, a few times, that Jafar often searched for any sort of magical advantage-that's how he found out about the Genie's Lamb, according to Iago-so perhaps that staff is one such magical item he's come across.
That's what I was thinking myself. I remember that episode. I just found it awkward that the majority of Jafar's items were either red and/or snake (cobra) related.
Well, snakes are associated with deceit and treachery and Jafar's essentially the Disney Starscream. How no one got suspicious of him is beyond me. The guy's entire wardrobe screams "I'm evil and totally going to stab in the back, literally or figuratively"
I think Queen La gave Jafar his staff cause their staffs have similar abilities and they think alike. I'm really glad you posted this, Isaac cause I was wondering why and how the staff has hypnotic powers
The idea of the animal staffs being a kind of Magic-maximizer and channeler reminds me of another Disney property "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" where magic users need specially made rings to cast spells effectively. Late in the film the apprentice hypothesizes that when the villain collects these rings for his own use, he is not making himself more powerful but actually a better conductor of magical power.
Realistically speaking, this is probably a coincidence, but it is a cool idea that I’m very willing to accept; both because Jafar himself implied he’s traveled far and wide in his life when first talking to “Prince Ali” (“Where did you say you were from?” “Um… much farther than you’ve traveled, I’m sure.” “Try me.”), and because Jafar’s role in the story is actually a mashup of two different antagonists from the original tale: the royal vizier who finds it in his best personal interests to not let Aladdin marry the princess, and a dark magician seeking the lamp who hails from - get this - _Africa._ Now do a video about Iago.
Very interesting video! I’m so glad someone brought up the very underrated Queen Lah and her magical abilities. Also, I hadn’t previously noticed Jafar’s other magical items and I think seeing them made me respect him more as a villain. The connection between King Lah’s kingdom and Atlantis is wild too!
That is interesting that Jafar and Queen La share magical powers with their staffs. Also according to Jafar being obsessed with treasure, the only thing he wants from The Cave of Wonders is the lamp.
One mystery I've been wondering about Aladdin lately is "What is Razul's backstory?" Out of all the guards he seemed to have something about him. Though it was clear he loved to see that justice was served and was loyal to the Sultan I couldn't help but wonder if he had a past that made him who he was as a character.
Finally! Someone else who figured this out on their own! I've been toting this same theory around the youtube comments section of Disney theory vids for YEARS! And it seemed like nobody else thought about this! (Though usually the videos I skulked were the "FROZEN TARZAN CONNECTION!!!!!!!" kind of vids, offering it as a part of the long way around as an alternative to connect the two films for those who don't subscribe to the "Tarzan is Elsa and Anna's brother theory")
I'm happy I could think about this and share my ideas with you! When I came up with the idea it just seemed so well laid out for me. Thanks for watching!
Either that, or perhaps he was sent as an ambassador of Agrabah to Opar on terms of business. It might have been a plan of his to learn more of the magical secrets of that place when visiting.
This theory is pretty awesome! I just love your channel, your theories and of course yourself =D If you have the time for these questions: who made the Cave Of Wonders and who does it originally belong to with all the treasures, including Genie's lamp? Also, it is forbidden to touch the treasure, and if you do, it disappears. Is the treasure cursed or it doesn't exist at all aside from the lamp? Plus, Aladdin is known by that cave as "diamond in the rough". Does it know of Aladdin himself for a reason and why only him is allowed to enter the cave? Jafar only knew of Aladdin's existence by the ring that the Sultan wears from his family. Are they connected by some reason?
As far as I remember the Cave doesn't exactly say that there's just one "diamond in the rough", as this metaphor could refer to something which is sometimes called a natural aristocracy. In other words the aristocratic idea is all about the people of virtue, who are worthy to possess high status in society. And there is born aristocracy - so the people who actually are born in a high class (they are not always worthy(in other words: fulfill their aristocratic duties) but in general is easier to find someone worthy among them, especially that they have better change for actual training to fulfill the duties of higher class) - and natural aristocracy, so simple people who are not born into aristocratic class but are WORTH being part of it. And I dare to say that Aladin fit in that description. the Cave of Wonders said about "diamond in the rough" because such is harder to find that already polished one (so a born aristocrat)... though it's also possible that it was actually just about being worthy (so born aristocrat who is worthy would actually work too... but with his traitorous nature Jaffar of course wasn't such person). All the treasures were IMO an illusion, and an additional test of worthiness (testing if the person would have enough free will to not give in to the temptation of riches - or in a more metaphorical sense to abuse one's aristocratic privileges). So what I think Jafar discover by its device was the nearest "diamond in the rough" which happen to be Aladin.
It is actually hinted at in the film that Jafar is very well travelled. When he asks Prince Ali where he's from, Aladdin says "from far away, probably further than you ever travelled" to which Jafar answers "doubtful" (paraphrasing here) . So that fits.
I’d love to see a video on a Disney attraction! Maybe the tower of terror, a lot of work went into the back story and construction of it, there maybe something there to do a video on! Love all your videos!!!!!!
I do love Disney World... And Halloween is coming up.... I bought the TV movie last year but ran out of time last Halloween to do it. I probably will make something like that! I'm glad you like them!! Thanks for watching!
I always thought that Ursula was trying to "help" her niece (Ariel). She didn't want her to be so separated from mankind, seeing that the Atlanteans (merfolk) and Ursula's kind were all of different heritage (Deity, water nymp, possibly gorgon, human) and wanted Ariel, who out of Triton's five daughters weren't tainted by their fathers ignorance, bigotry and fears. And regardless if she did kiss a human or find true love, that she would actually still be able to return back to the oceans. But that's just my theory.
What an amazing theory. I would be inclined to think Jafar befriended Queen La it makes the most sense. Jafar is cunning and bold, but I doubt he would want to risk the wrath of such a powerful Sorceress.
😱😱😱😱😱😱. Damn so Opar is a lost colony of Atlantis. Tarzan just became more awesome and very cool. Queen La is so cool and very awesome. Also her staff is so awesome.
That was extremely thorough. To add to your synopsis by comparison, there is a section of the original Aladdin tale that is set in "Far away Africa". The Magician (with no name in the original story), who got Aladdin the lamp through trickery backfiring, discovers Aladdin did not die in the cave as he thought. He tries many tricks to get Aladdin killed, by enraging the Genie and spreading lies. he eventually gets the lamp and kidnaps the princess and Aladdin's castle to Far away Africa (from China, the original setting). The magician was very at home in Africa, which suggests he had been there before. Something to think about and tie back to your theory. I have two proposals, and I'l subscribe if they come out in videos. My favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty, and I will prompt these ideas and see what you think. 1) Maleficent's staff origin. Tougher than Jafar's, however I'm willing you could have a go at it. Since she is a fairy, like the others, one would think she'd use a wand. However she has her staff, which probably grants her a lot more power than the wands of the good fairies, given their conversation shortly after the curse. Is it a gift of the Devil? Is it from a dragon hoard she had long ago? (My leading theory). 2) Aurora's dream: After Maleficent's curse, Merryweather places a spell on Aurora that she will sleep rather than die, and awaken at true love's kiss. The spell has a side effect, in that Aurora dreams of her true love whenever she sleeps. We know this because of what Maleficent tells Prince Phillip in the Dungeon, and that she has had several dreams of a prince throughout her life, as she tells the animals in the forest. Could the clash of good and evil magic on Aurora have given her dreams of her future love, or even caused the pathway to have her meet Philip right before the spell enacted? Hope these ideas are worth your time. Awesome channel!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and questions. I really love the ideas for Sleeping Beauty to be explained. I will definitely be looking into these! Thanks for watching!
It's not the staff likely, but the red gemstone. The staff is the medium which directs the power of the gem. Historically, mediums and fortune tellers use gems (etc) to perform their tricks (whether it actually worked or just added to the sense of mysticism). It is possible that Queen La's staff, when broken, shattered the gem. Then someone else (or maybe even Jafar), got hold of two of the biggest shards leftover and crafted the serpant staff. Now, I hadn't heard of Queen La or the extra Tarzan story, so it's possible that Queen La's staff was completely destroyed. But the point remains that it originated from Opar. If Jafar did find the legendary city, there's nothing keeping him from accessing/practicing dark magic in that place, which may then have 1) given him access to magic to create his own staff or 2) awakened another magical staff (broke it's seal/curse/however you want to say it)
Melissa I totally buy into everything you are saying right now. I totally buy that Jafar's smaller gems account for the weaker power and influence. Thanks for watching!
Well they smashed Queen La's staff, i think Jafar saw the power of the staff and after it was broken he went and grabbed the shards of the red gem to find any with power left in them. I dont know how he coul've come across the snake staff
Wow, I never thought of Jafar's staff coming from Queen La in Opar cause it's been a long time since I've seen Tarzan the series and I also never thought of Opar being Atlantis either (mind blown)
I have a few requests: Mushu's story (i.e. how he got Fa Deng killed and his subsequent demotion) and the story of Prince John from Robin Hood and how it compares to the historical Prince John. Here's a Descendants one: If the Fairy Godmother could bring dead villains back to life, why doesn't she bring good guy characters killed by villains (e.g. Mufasa, Ray, Kerchack, General Li) back to life as well?
I had an idea for a future video. In the Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks, the main character who is studying witchcraft in order to help the British war effort in WW2 discovers a spell which brings inanimate objects to life aka Substitutiary Locomotion. When she first tried it on a pair of shoes it seemed to work but it somehow went crazy and brought other articles of clothing to life. Though later she uses it to bring a whole museum of medieval armor to life in order to fight some nazis who invaded and the spell works perfectly. What would be your thoughts on how the spell worked here but not in the beginning?
i don't know what to say. i have no idea until i read one of someone elt's commet chicago critic gerald said you forgot once upon a time in wonderland and i think it explains jafars staff a long with the second version of jafar in once upon a time. i thing when ever you have a disney question and it has to do with a fairytale from once upon a time. that is where you can get most of your answers on that show and i consider it disney.
Well, a powerful tool might as well be a trinket if you´re unable to use it well. I also thought their staffs were too simillar back when that episode of Tazan first aired.
I wonder how this ties in to the more recent video, "Vor: the supposed first Disney villain" It seems the queen's staff is more powerful yet, in the mentioned video, Jafar's staff is one of the wicked nine.
I'm gonna try to find the episode/video from the Aladdin tv series. But of memory serves correct, Aladdin and the crew were on het another mission but this time to stop that Egyptian Cat Deity (I want to say her name was Mirage or Miragah, but I'm probably wrong). They unlisted the help of the weird, magical guy that is "blind" with the rags tied around his head covering his "eyes" (at either the end of the episode or the season, you find out that he's not blind, and he's actually the last Magical Cyclops, whose brother was killed). They're in the ancient temple and there's statutes or enormous Cyclops but the center one guarding the door, has a red ruby eye instead of just a full stone eye. Genie tells the crew that he's getting bad vibes from that stone and it seems frightfully familiar. The blind one reassures genie that the stone posses no threat, seeing as their is no longer any "mortal" or remaining Cyclops that can either wield or abuse it's power. Then he tells a quick story of how the stone is actually slightly fractured weakening it's original powers: "Many moons ago, a young man in search of both power and dominion, stumbled across this temple. Greed filled his heart, and thus he attempted to steal the jewel, the guardian of the temple fought him, losing his life in the processes. The young man, escaped with his, however he was able to only leave with a shard of the jewel and the knowledge of the deed he committed in order to obtain it" Again, this is just going off of memory (it was like almost 18yrs ago, if I'm right), but I'm gonna try to find that video. I loved that show so much, I can remember almost all the episodes, villains and different lore. Omg! I loved the villain Mosenwrath! Just like the Egyptian Cat Deity, that was their main antagonist, her Lord & master and higher ranking god...was Cashmere Cat (from Alice & Wonderland, but in the series was called "Lord Chaos") linking the Disney universe, with a being that transcends time and space.
If Jafar could've truly gotten his Snake Staff from the jungles of Africa in Opar, my bet is that he would've stolen it. I rather think it surprising to think that someone like Queen La(Legend of Tarzan) would've ever possibly willingly just let someone like Jafar walk into Opar and give him a powerful Snake Staff for nothing--especially when his Snake Staff's power would perhaps rival her own Leopard Magic Staff she carries with her. If Jafar's Snake Staff did come from Opar truly, I again would've figured Jafar would've more likely stolen it as opposed to it just being willingly given to him.
So the city was made by the Atlantic people you say? Remember that movie that Disney made called "Atlantis"? Maybe Tarzan and Atlantis are connected. That's a video idea for ya :>
I am surprised you didn't try using Once Upon A Time's version to explain the staff. I personally liked their version because it made him appear more despicable and non trustworthy, but I also like the idea you brought up Issac.
I don't know which one is more darker Tangled the series or the legend of Tarzan cause Both shows have darker tones so if i got to choose between these shows i Wil Say The Legend of Tarzan is more darker than Tangled the series
The staff couldn't hypnotize the Sultan into stepping down and declaring Jafar Agrabah's new ruler because the effects would wear off fast and his usurping the Sultan plan would be exposed instantly. Even hypnotizing the Sultan to lending the diamond ring and making Jasmine marry him benefited the Sultan in getting his daughter a husband. They were just ideas the Sultan was reluctant to approve of.

Considering the lengths he was willing to go to gain control, along with his backstory, it's likely he stole the staff. Then again, he is rather cunning and manipulative, so he could've also befriended and/or tricked La into giving Jafar his staff. This is only my opinion, of course, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
I think Jafar's staff and La's staff are separate but came from the same source unless Jafar stole it then redesigned it
1. I think he stole it. also i was watching Harry Potter Tge Prisoner of Azkaban and i noticed that when Harry blew up his aunt he didnt have a wand at all. How does Harry know wandless magic or was it an accident
I think he dint steal the staff or the what given to him i think he mad the staff but stole ah piece of the jewl of the lepord staff that would explain why jafars powers where weaker in the beginning
Wotso Videos I think Queen La gave Jafar his staff cause in a way they kinda think alike
"Just where did you say you were from?" "Much farther than you traveled I'm sure." "Try me." I think this dialogue between Jafar and Prince Ali (Aladdin) as the Sultan is flying on the carpet could give a good idea that Jafar traveled to a far place to get the staff.
good catch!
Yes and also Jafar was already suspicious of Prince Ali. But this answer was not convincing. Jafar knew there was something just not quite right about him. His fate was sealed
I’ve never really noticed how much of a collector of mystical artifacts Jafar was. It would actually be interesting to see more of his back story.
You know; I have seen Aladdin many many so many times and I have NEVER noticed that the mouth of the serpent staff is closed when Jafar is "normal" and open when he is "The Most Powerful Sorcerer in the World!" Thank you so much for pointing that out!
Iago in the animated series does mention, a few times, that Jafar often searched for any sort of magical advantage-that's how he found out about the Genie's Lamb, according to Iago-so perhaps that staff is one such magical item he's come across.
That's what I was thinking myself. I remember that episode.
I just found it awkward that the majority of Jafar's items were either red and/or snake (cobra) related.
Well, snakes are associated with deceit and treachery and Jafar's essentially the Disney Starscream. How no one got suspicious of him is beyond me. The guy's entire wardrobe screams "I'm evil and totally going to stab in the back, literally or figuratively"
did you know that Jafar is the ONLY OTHER villain other than MALEFICENT to have a BIRD as a sidekick???
Joshua Lowe Don’t forget Shan Yu
Joshua Lowe there’s actually a date joke about Jafar and Maleficent in a valentines episode of the house of mouse.
Connor Plisga OH YEAH! HIM TOO!!😄
Andy Garcia AND I remember Maleficent and HADES getting together! AND Maleficent turned into a Dragon to be with *CHERNABOG*!!!
There was also a meme about her and Darth Vader going out lol
I think Queen La gave Jafar his staff cause their staffs have similar abilities and they think alike. I'm really glad you posted this, Isaac cause I was wondering why and how the staff has hypnotic powers
The idea of the animal staffs being a kind of Magic-maximizer and channeler reminds me of another Disney property "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" where magic users need specially made rings to cast spells effectively. Late in the film the apprentice hypothesizes that when the villain collects these rings for his own use, he is not making himself more powerful but actually a better conductor of magical power.
Realistically speaking, this is probably a coincidence, but it is a cool idea that I’m very willing to accept; both because Jafar himself implied he’s traveled far and wide in his life when first talking to “Prince Ali” (“Where did you say you were from?” “Um… much farther than you’ve traveled, I’m sure.” “Try me.”), and because Jafar’s role in the story is actually a mashup of two different antagonists from the original tale: the royal vizier who finds it in his best personal interests to not let Aladdin marry the princess, and a dark magician seeking the lamp who hails from - get this - _Africa._
Now do a video about Iago.
Do Queen La’s full story
Hell yeah.
Jafar: Agreed!
Actually, it’s revealed in “The Return Of Jafar” that Jasmine was smart enough to close her eyes when Jafar put his snake staff in front of her
Oh okay! Thank you for sharing that. I really appreciate it. I need to go through those sequel films more thoroughly some time! Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos wow, it’s so cool getting a reply from you. Most welcome buddy. Keep up the good work
Yeah but by then she knew what was up
Very interesting video! I’m so glad someone brought up the very underrated Queen Lah and her magical abilities. Also, I hadn’t previously noticed Jafar’s other magical items and I think seeing them made me respect him more as a villain. The connection between King Lah’s kingdom and Atlantis is wild too!
I'm really mad he cut off Iago saying "*Hawk* Cave of Wonder "
This was a really good argument I’m convinced honestly
That is interesting that Jafar and Queen La share magical powers with their staffs. Also according to Jafar being obsessed with treasure, the only thing he wants from The Cave of Wonders is the lamp.
One mystery I've been wondering about Aladdin lately is "What is Razul's backstory?" Out of all the guards he seemed to have something about him. Though it was clear he loved to see that justice was served and was loyal to the Sultan I couldn't help but wonder if he had a past that made him who he was as a character.
ChimpManZ1264 Razoul is fascinating. He is my second favourite character after Jafar.
Wakanda Forever
You better believe it Joshua! Thanks for watching!
You got me there.
No
@@IsaacCarlson Thank you for creating the channel
Hmmm maybe he found the shards of the jewel & put them in his own staff after witnessing the original staff's destruction.
I have a question. What is La's story?
I describe la as the female counterpart of Jafar
I want to know how Jafar met Lago. Or why Jafar didn't use the staff to overthrow the Sultan, maybe it's because his desire to amass power?
Very satisfying video and head cannon accepted for this theory! Jafar is my favorite Disney villain so I loved this little dive into his backstory.
Oh I'm glad I could provide a compelling argument for it then and I'm happy you like it! Thanks for watching!
Finally! Someone else who figured this out on their own! I've been toting this same theory around the youtube comments section of Disney theory vids for YEARS!

I'm happy I could think about this and share my ideas with you! When I came up with the idea it just seemed so well laid out for me. Thanks for watching!
according to the original story of Aladin, the origin of the staff makes sense. as Jaffar was based on a sorcerer who was originally based in Egypt.
So, was he a lawful evil adventurer before becoming a vizier?
Either that, or perhaps he was sent as an ambassador of Agrabah to Opar on terms of business. It might have been a plan of his to learn more of the magical secrets of that place when visiting.
This theory is pretty awesome! I just love your channel, your theories and of course yourself =D
If you have the time for these questions: who made the Cave Of Wonders and who does it originally belong to with all the treasures, including Genie's lamp?

Jafar only knew of Aladdin's existence by the ring that the Sultan wears from his family. Are they connected by some reason?
Those are actually really great questions, that I've never thought about myself. Now I want to know the same thing as you!
Great questions!
Waauw, thanx you so much =^-^=
As far as I remember the Cave doesn't exactly say that there's just one "diamond in the rough", as this metaphor could refer to something which is sometimes called a natural aristocracy.

I’d love to see a video on a Disney attraction! Maybe the tower of terror, a lot of work went into the back story and construction of it, there maybe something there to do a video on! Love all your videos!!!!!!
I do love Disney World... And Halloween is coming up.... I bought the TV movie last year but ran out of time last Halloween to do it. I probably will make something like that! I'm glad you like them!! Thanks for watching!
Jafar was awesome and sinister
Best Disney villain for sure 👍
I want all these 2000´s Disney shows on DVD! I didn’t even know Tarzan had a series!
I HAVE A BACK UP THEORY WITH NOT ONLY FACTS BUT ALSO CANNON EVIDENCE THAT ARIEL WAS NEVER REALLY CURSED
I always thought that Ursula was trying to "help" her niece (Ariel).
She didn't want her to be so separated from mankind, seeing that the Atlanteans (merfolk) and Ursula's kind were all of different heritage (Deity, water nymp, possibly gorgon, human) and wanted Ariel, who out of Triton's five daughters weren't tainted by their fathers ignorance, bigotry and fears. And regardless if she did kiss a human or find true love, that she would actually still be able to return back to the oceans.
But that's just my theory.
Whoa...... That's heavy doc. I would definitely be interested in what you have to say! Thanks for watching!
Oh My !!!, I defitnelly was not expecting that connection 😱😨
I never noticed the snakes mouth was different until now.
Just watched your Vor video. I'm loving these theories. Really giving a hardcore Disney fan a run for money. Subscribed
What an amazing theory. I would be inclined to think Jafar befriended Queen La it makes the most sense. Jafar is cunning and bold, but I doubt he would want to risk the wrath of such a powerful Sorceress.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! That is a great point. He does have a charm about him. Thanks for watching!
It would be quite an interesting theory regarding Opar (I mean how long ago before Atlantis' initial fall exactly did it came to be?)
I love Jafar so much!
Great video I love you so much! 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Love the snake staff!! I always wanted the toy
Same! Actually more useful than the Genie and the wee lamp
😱😱😱😱😱😱. Damn so Opar is a lost colony of Atlantis. Tarzan just became more awesome and very cool. Queen La is so cool and very awesome. Also her staff is so awesome.
Please do a backstory or full story vid on Iago
Dude, I am so behind this theory!

Melissa I totally buy into everything you are saying right now. I totally buy that Jafar's smaller gems account for the weaker power and influence. Thanks for watching!
I like what you said: Wait, Jafar, where did you get that thing?".
What if it's the same staff that had some work done and the eyes are shards from the original stone
I loved how you say hmm I wonder where I've heard that before
Well they smashed Queen La's staff, i think Jafar saw the power of the staff and after it was broken he went and grabbed the shards of the red gem to find any with power left in them. I dont know how he coul've come across the snake staff
that's actually really good. excellent job!
I'm happy you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching!
Great video Isaac!
I love your channel way more than I should
I'm glad you love it Phillip! Means a lot you like it!! Thanks for watching!
😱 did not see that Atlantis connection by way love your channel
Hey Isaac you must really like Black Panther cause you used two scenes in two of your videos but I can't blame you that movie was AWESOME. 🐱👑
Wow, I never thought of Jafar's staff coming from Queen La in Opar cause it's been a long time since I've seen Tarzan the series and I also never thought of Opar being Atlantis either (mind blown)
Wow so cool, and interesting.
I have a few requests: Mushu's story (i.e. how he got Fa Deng killed and his subsequent demotion) and the story of Prince John from Robin Hood and how it compares to the historical Prince John. Here's a Descendants one: If the Fairy Godmother could bring dead villains back to life, why doesn't she bring good guy characters killed by villains (e.g. Mufasa, Ray, Kerchack, General Li) back to life as well?
Maybe some Brother Bear fan theories would be good, both films are some of my favourite Disney films
Queen La kinda looks like an atlantean the more I think about it. Dark skin, white hair, well versed in magic crystals.
That's exactly what I was thinking! I think there is something definitely to discuss there!! Thanks for watching!
you are so awsome luv your vids . also ive been watching your vids since this may
Jafar is one of my favorite Disney villains .
Jafar is a cunning trickster. Whether through thievery or charm, he could take that staff from anyone.
I had an idea for a future video. In the Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks, the main character who is studying witchcraft in order to help the British war effort in WW2 discovers a spell which brings inanimate objects to life aka Substitutiary Locomotion. When she first tried it on a pair of shoes it seemed to work but it somehow went crazy and brought other articles of clothing to life. Though later she uses it to bring a whole museum of medieval armor to life in order to fight some nazis who invaded and the spell works perfectly. What would be your thoughts on how the spell worked here but not in the beginning?
Omg I love your videos!!!
I love your jacket🙌😄
ALSO! A city powered by magical crystals is in Disney's Atlantis the Lost Empire, meaning that Opar might be related to the Atlantis from the movie.
No one's gonna talk about how he used that staff on jasmine for some fun in that sandy poohsi?
Loved this theory and video! You digged so far into Disney lore and found a rlly good answer :D
I'm happy you liked it! I thought it was a fun idea that just worked super well! Thanks for watching!
No problem! :3
Wow great video, very interesting how he got the staff that got my attention
Mack a video on merlens back story
If jafar is so powerful in the 2nd wish then how come he couldn’t just make jasmine fall in love you him with his staff
The snake does kinda reminds of the jungle book the snake that has hypnosis
Oh trueee. I wonder if there is some type of connection there. Thanks for watching!
The snakes name is 'Kaa.'
@@mwizachihana9551 But the staff is shaped after a cobra, Kaa is a python.
kaa was a python not a cobra
jafar's staff is the head of a cobra not a a python
4:13 - Which of these categories does "But you're so old." fall under?
Maleficient gave it to him for Christmas
"Merry Christmas Jafar. Love you bunches."
-Maleficent
You deserve way more likes for that comment. XD
The staff has the Reality Stone!
Haha yeah bringing in the Marvel universe!
i don't know what to say. i have no idea until i read one of someone elt's commet chicago critic gerald said you forgot once upon a time in wonderland and i think it explains jafars staff a long with the second version of jafar in once upon a time. i thing when ever you have a disney question and it has to do with a fairytale from once upon a time. that is where you can get most of your answers on that show and i consider it disney.
Thank you! Can you please discuss the big hero 6 show please?! Have a magical day yourself!
i love videos so thank for sticking to theorising
My pleasure! I'm happy you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!
Could you do a video about why Genie didn’t just destroy Jafar’s lamp in the first movie? It’s a burning question that I’ve had for a long time
Well, a powerful tool might as well be a trinket if you´re unable to use it well.
I also thought their staffs were too simillar back when that episode of Tazan first aired.
This is a great comparison.
I thought you were going to use the Disney comics for a minute. Jafar may have traveled to the African jungle in his young manhood?
I wonder how this ties in to the more recent video, "Vor: the supposed first Disney villain"
It seems the queen's staff is more powerful yet, in the mentioned video, Jafar's staff is one of the wicked nine.
I'm gonna try to find the episode/video from the Aladdin tv series.
But of memory serves correct, Aladdin and the crew were on het another mission but this time to stop that Egyptian Cat Deity (I want to say her name was Mirage or Miragah, but I'm probably wrong). They unlisted the help of the weird, magical guy that is "blind" with the rags tied around his head covering his "eyes" (at either the end of the episode or the season, you find out that he's not blind, and he's actually the last Magical Cyclops, whose brother was killed).
They're in the ancient temple and there's statutes or enormous Cyclops but the center one guarding the door, has a red ruby eye instead of just a full stone eye. Genie tells the crew that he's getting bad vibes from that stone and it seems frightfully familiar.
The blind one reassures genie that the stone posses no threat, seeing as their is no longer any "mortal" or remaining Cyclops that can either wield or abuse it's power. Then he tells a quick story of how the stone is actually slightly fractured weakening it's original powers: "Many moons ago, a young man in search of both power and dominion, stumbled across this temple. Greed filled his heart, and thus he attempted to steal the jewel, the guardian of the temple fought him, losing his life in the processes. The young man, escaped with his, however he was able to only leave with a shard of the jewel and the knowledge of the deed he committed in order to obtain it"
Again, this is just going off of memory (it was like almost 18yrs ago, if I'm right), but I'm gonna try to find that video. I loved that show so much, I can remember almost all the episodes, villains and different lore. Omg! I loved the villain Mosenwrath!
Just like the Egyptian Cat Deity, that was their main antagonist, her Lord & master and higher ranking god...was Cashmere Cat (from Alice & Wonderland, but in the series was called "Lord Chaos") linking the Disney universe, with a being that transcends time and space.
I commented your entire comment into a Google Doc and I'm going to look into everything you were talking about. This sounds super interesting!
You know what else i noticed , once obtained with great power both staffs opened their mouths
If Jafar could've truly gotten his Snake Staff from the jungles of Africa in Opar, my bet is that he would've stolen it. I rather think it surprising to think that someone like Queen La(Legend of Tarzan) would've ever possibly willingly just let someone like Jafar walk into Opar and give him a powerful Snake Staff for nothing--especially when his Snake Staff's power would perhaps rival her own Leopard Magic Staff she carries with her. If Jafar's Snake Staff did come from Opar truly, I again would've figured Jafar would've more likely stolen it as opposed to it just being willingly given to him.
Im surprised that when mentioning the magic stones of opar that keep them alive he references Amanda and not Atlantis again
Yas!!!My favorite male villian and always super curious about this
Ooh...Queen La is hot.
So the city was made by the Atlantic people you say? Remember that movie that Disney made called "Atlantis"? Maybe Tarzan and Atlantis are connected. That's a video idea for ya :>
I think they definitely are connected through that city. I would love to discuss it more in a future video. Thanks for watching!
I LOVE Aladdin!! 🧞♂️
I honestly thought that you were going to explain it with the mystic isle again.
😱😱 ATLANTIS I can’t say I was expecting that.
I am surprised you didn't try using Once Upon A Time's version to explain the staff. I personally liked their version because it made him appear more despicable and non trustworthy, but I also like the idea you brought up Issac.
This is completely off topic of the video bUT I love your clickbait hoodie!! ;) :))
PLEASE do a history on Kuzco!
I don't know which one is more darker Tangled the series or the legend of Tarzan cause Both shows have darker tones so if i got to choose between these shows i Wil Say The Legend of Tarzan is more darker than Tangled the series
If the staff could hypnotize people. Couldn’t he just use it to hypnotize the sultan and make him declare Jafar as the new sultan.
He tried but Sultan didn't look into the eyes of the snake for long enough. Shame
@@Victoria-sm1sj what do you mean “shame”? I was just asking a question
@@JEFFYtv433 I meant it's a shame it didn't work
@@Victoria-sm1sj ok
@@JEFFYtv433 Sorry for the confusion. I think Jafar is great btw. Aladdin is my favourite Disney movie
The staff couldn't hypnotize the Sultan into stepping down and declaring Jafar Agrabah's new ruler because the effects would wear off fast and his usurping the Sultan plan would be exposed instantly. Even hypnotizing the Sultan to lending the diamond ring and making Jasmine marry him benefited the Sultan in getting his daughter a husband. They were just ideas the Sultan was reluctant to approve of.
I say this because that's how week the hypnotic effects are, even if being used on an absent minded old man.
If Atlantis was indeed in the "eye of the Sahara", the city could well be a colony...
I like this theory.
