When I said earlier that Abis Mal needed a muscle, I was not bearing in mind that Jasmine pretty much becomes that in this episode.

“I recommend surrender.”

Also when did she learn how to use a whip like that? We know she learns fast, but where was Abis Mal keeping one and what gave her the idea?

I really, really love this design and I love that in later episodes this (and her whip abilities) come into play again in later episodes.

This man will never have any dignity.

So Haroud tells Jasmine that she’s Abis Mal’s daughter. She’s the “blackest heart, the scourge of the desert,” etc. And she immediately latches on to it.

I…don’t actually know how I feel about her automatically accepting it. On one hand the second she got a hint that she might not like Aladdin, she jumped on it and wanted away from him.

However, that being said? I could see her doing that because if you lose your memories that’s the sort of thing you need to figure out in a safe place. And not around someone who you don’t like/may try to hurt you.

Especially when said guy pretty much kidnaps you and won’t listen to you when you ask him to put you back on the ground.

Accepting this, though? Would she not question it at all? “Do I feel like a Scourge of the Desert? That other person was out to cause me trouble; what about these people? Why was I in the palace if I was a known criminal?”

No questioning? Just immediately “Oh okay!”? And then this:

You’re gonna conquer Agrabah at dawn? You didn’t even know what Agrabah was five minutes ago.

Believed scourge of the desert or not you’d think she’d want time to recuperate and try to regain her memories/find out why she lost them in the first place.

Hercules the animated series and The Little Mermaid series please and thank you. ❤

I was actually in that awkward in-between phase when Hercules started where I was a little too old to get into it. I will, if nothing else, be covering the episode that crosses over with Aladdin.

And I saw a few episodes of the Little Mermaid series but I remember it was actually REALLY hard for me to see a lot because it came on Saturday mornings, I wasn’t good with time back then, and when it wasn’t competing with other shows I really wanted to watch? It was on a channel we didn’t have.

I’ll have a look around and see what I can find, though!

Batman The Animated Series 😀

Getting my hands on episodes is going to be tough but I could dabble in that, sure. :3

 Thankfully, you happen to know someone who has the first three volumes on DVD and might stream for you…. 😉

While that’s fabulous, I actually need the files so that I can actively pause and take screencaps.
