![]() ![]() Sure, I could see how he’d be suspicious of Aladdin in the first movie, given that Aladdin is a notorious thief. But why is Razoul such an asshole to Aladdin? I can understand both Jafars motivation for hating Aladdin, and Iagos motivations for evil. That person being Razoul, the captain of the royal guards. A character who, by all rights, SHOULD have had some development, but who never really did. Well, I thought about Iago and how he had this development, and then I got to thinking about the tertiary antagonist of the movie. There’s Sir Ector and Kay in The Sword in the Stone, but they are not really villains, since they don’t actually wish any harm on Arthur, or there’s Mor’Du in Brave, who has a form of redemption by the end, freed in death from the curse that turned him into a bear, but he didn’t go on to join the heroes.Īnyway, where exactly am I going with all this? ![]() Of course, there may be other examples in tv-shows, or secondary villains who betray or abandon the main villain, but I can’t think of any other who actually becomes a good guy, and certainly no movie villains. It really is an unprecedented character development for a villain in a Disney movie. Then, in The Return of Jafar, he slowly becomes a less villanous character, eventually sacrificing his own well-being and almost dying in order to stop Jafar. I remind you, that whole idea about Jafar marrying Jasmine and then killing her and the Sultan? That was all Iagos idea! At no point in that entire movie does he show any kind of hesitation or doubt about what he’s doing, except for when his own safety is threatened, nor does he show the slightest iota of compassion or concern about the well-being of others, enjoying Jasmines grief when she believes Aladdin is dead, tormenting the sultan and force-feeding him crackers and outright urging Jafar to kill Aladdin near the end. This is in stark contrast to his actions in the first movie. But he’s also loyal and cares for his friends, and becomes far less vicious. ![]() Well… I say “ good guy”, but that’s not quite accurate, since he remains sarcastic, greedy and abrasive. I’m not talking about Jafar, of course, but of the movies secondary antagonist, the parrot Iago.Īnd the reason I think he’s fascinating is because, to my knowledge, he is the only straight up villain in Disney history to actually develop and redeem himself, becoming a good guy. While Aladdin, to my mind, has the most incompetent villain in Disney history, it also has one of the most fascinating. After writing it, it got me thinking, and I realized something kind of interesting. Now, this article is really the result of an article I wrote last year, about my top 5 worst Disney villains.
