Aladdin: 10 Things That Don’t Make Sense About the Genie

We all have grown up with stories about the all-time famous Genie’s lamp that can fulfill the three wishes of the one who rubs it. Genie had been the most powerful being in the world even when there were no such superheroes to look up to and the pair of Genie and Aladdin was immensely popular. Disney movies made the story of Aladdin alive again as Guy Ritchie presented things in the best way. However, it also raises many questions in mind and we know you have those as well. Genie’s powers, actions, and cosmic personality are inexplicable. If we get the answer to the questions cooking in our minds then we are sure we all would have an ending completely different from what it is in the movie!

Why Was The Lamp In The Magical Cave?

There is no way we can determine why and how Genie ended up in the cave and in the lamp. It is a fact that whoever was there in greed of gold died but then why was Genie in the lamp even though he was a human. If he went inside for the lamp and gold then he should have got the same end as others, why did the lamp take him as its Genie? Any answer?

Why Genie Threw The Lamp?

Did you ever think why Genie trashed the lamp away even after getting free from it? Is that because if anybody rubbed it again then he would turn into a prisoner again or the lamp got any other Genie in it! We can never track down the real reason unless Genie himself tells us!

How Did He Make Things Happen?

There are many things that Genie makes happen like the great festivity that takes place with the entrance of Ali into the state as a prince. There are so many different animals that dance and sing in that but were they real or fake, or were they just hypnotized? We think only Genie can help us find the truth!

Why Didn’t Genie Act Smartly?

Although Genie had all the powers of the world but as far as we could look inside him, all he wanted was love, Genie desperately desired a friend and this seems to be the only reason he tries hard to pave way for Aladdin. But, if he was smart enough then we believe he could have gotten free long ago. Genie could lie a bit to his master for freedom, try making a close friend, play with a greedy mind, etc. There is so much Genie could have taken chance on but we guess he either didn’t think of it or wasn’t smart enough!

What Is He? 

Since the story lies in Arabic mythology, we do not find any reason why Genie has been given his signature blue color? As far as we can comprehend, Genie is probably named after ghosts which are called Djinn in Arabic. But, he is blue in color though it is evident in the Arabic books that djinns are made of fire (no matter if they are good or bad). Other than that, we haven’t seen any other blue color cosmic power controller in the world. Hence, the question remains what is he and why is he blue?

Size Issues

Well, to be very honest, we never got the hell why the difference in the size of Genie has been stretched too wildly. No one knows when Genie would turn humungous, big, normal, or extremely small. If the bigger size is for the sake of fights and action then why was he small when Jafar was attacking all? So, the alterations of Genie’s size are out of our minds. Plus, why and how does he live in such a small lamp?

What Are Genie’s Limits?

We never get to know what can Genie do and can’t! He simply claims that he is the best in the whole world, and nothing is impossible for him but still, there are things he can’t do. For instance, Genie can’t get himself free, or pick a master, and neither can he travel as per his will. So, there are limits to Genie’s cosmic powers. But, he did get off a little while saving Aladdin from drowning.

How’s The Lamp From Inside?

It is very hard to see what the lamp looks like from the inside. Genie whooshes into the lamp with a smile (most of the time) so it is quite an enlightening fact that it must be good to be inside it. In the contrast, the lamp feels suffocating because of its small size. Genie shares no details about the lamp in the movie but in the animated series and cartoon, we could have a sneak peek into it. We saw how the luxurious sofas, lounge, lush carpeting, and all can be seen through the hole in it.

Who Is He Scared Of?

Genie seems scared whenever he is helping Aladdin by bending the rules a little bit. Is he more loyal to someone other than his master? While making Aladdin sign the contract while he was drowning, obeying Jafar though he wished to help Aladdin but couldn’t even move!

Why Didn’t He Make It A Reality?

The most important question is that Aladdin wanted to be a prince and Genie dresses him like one and shows great pomp show to make it look real to everyone that he was a prince but since that was Aladdin’s wish then why didn’t it happen in real? If Genie can make elephants, monkeys, giraffes, and other animals and so many performers laugh and perform then why couldn’t he make Aladdin a real prince though that was his wish and as it is said, he is the strongest in the world? Why does he only give him clothes and no kingdom in real?
