Context Awesome / AladdinTheReturnOfJafar

Go To

1* For [[DirtyCoward Iago]], no less, and this cements his HeelFaceTurn. Jafar's seconds from winning and gloating about it like the arrogant being that he is. When he tells Al that [[NothingCanStopUsNow "there's no one to save [him] this time"]], you hear four very screechy but most awesome words.
2-->'''Iago:''' [[ChangedMyMindKid Hey,]] [[BigDamnHeroes Jafar!]] '''[[ShutUpHannibal SHUT]]''' '''[[BigShutUp UUUUUUP!]]'''
3** Also when Iago frees Genie from the crystal ball Jafar's trapped him inside (by dropping it from a great height to shatter on the floor, even while straining visibly at the weight) and when, at a point of near-death, he summons up the last of his strength to kick Jafar's lamp into the molten lava below, killing Jafar once and for all, and saving the day.
4* Another one for Iago towards the beginning of the movie, where he actually manages to defeat Abys Mal and his thugs single-handedly. Sure, part of it was luck, but he did set out to whoop Abys Mal, and he succeeded above and beyond his goal. The fact that his rescue of Aladdin and Abu was more or less coincidental doesn't take away from the awesome feel of Iago yelling ''"AND I GOT MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM!"'' at the defeated villains.
5* The moment right before the song "I'm Looking Out for Me", where Iago, finally done with Jafar's crap, takes advantage of the fact that he's currently trapped in a lamp to give him a scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. And when Jafar shoots back by pressing Iago's BerserkButton, this is the final straw that pushes him to ditch the creep.
6-->'''Iago:''' Ya know something? You're ''nothing'' without me.\
7'''Jafar:''' ''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]''\
8'''Iago:''' Who comes up with all the good ideas? ''Me!'' Who does all the work? ''ME!''
9* A more villainous example is Jafar's VillainSong "You're Only Second Rate", where he manages to overpower and capture Genie without even breaking a sweat.
10** And it becomes even ''more'' awesome [[FridgeBrilliance when you remember]] what Aladdin said [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu to trick Jafar]] in the first movie: "The Genie has more power than you'll ever have! He gave you your power, he can take it away! Face it, Jafar! You're still just ''second best''!" It's possible this song is Jafar's response to that in particular, as if he's saying, "WHO'S "SECOND BEST" ''NOW'', [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH]]?!"
11** However, Genie still outsmarts him in the climax, giving Aladdin some much needed time. The Genie also gets some impressive attempts to stop Jafar (shooting arrows, throwing lightning bolts, transforming into a tiger, etc.), although Jafar thwarts them in an OffhandBackhand manner.
12* Aladdin's maneuver during the opening fight of the movie when he baited one of Abis Mal's goons into cutting a chandelier rope, allowing Al to not only make his escape but also sends the chandelier falling on said goons. Right away, you can see [[GuileHero Al is still the clever badass]] he was from the first movie.
