Will Smith is pretty much box office poison. I was really disappointed when I heard that he was cast as the genie. There was a whole bunch of SJW backlash because Disney cast a Canadian man and a British woman as the leads (despite both being of Middle Eastern descent), but nobody said a word when a black man was cast as the genie. This just looks bad from what I’ve seen so far.

Jafar looks very weak, at least in that scene.

Why didn't they just make him person sized for frick sake? He looks ridiculous. Why even paint him? Jesus Christ this is so bad looking.

When, and how did this happen? He was one of the biggest stars in the world. Was it all due to after earth?

Are you this ignorant that you think Indians are Middle Eastern? People were pissed because Disney didn’t give a shot that there is kind of a huge difference between the two cultures and Indians and Pakistanis are not in there Middle East.

So what race should a Blue magical creature only ever depicted in a cartoon be?
