History YMMV / AladdinTheSeries

** [[EvilCounterpart Mozenrath]] is the [[ArchEnemy most personal]], recurring foe that Aladdin has faced. A youthful [[EvilSorcerer sorcerer]] who betrayed, zombified, and enslaved his own master, Mozenrath enacts a variety of schemes to destroy Agrabah and bind Genie to his will. Attempting to unleash the Wind Jackal to annihilate Agrabah and threatening to do the same to every other kingdom of the world if they don't kowtow to him, Mozenrath later dominates the entire race of Sprites, turning them into a force of slaves that he works to near-death before trying to wipe them all out when they rebel. Mozenrath also traps a large portion of the Sultan's palace in an alternate plane of existence to be damned while he swoops in for control, and in another plot manipulated Genie and his girlfriend with dirty tricks so as to turn them into [[LivingBattery living batteries]]. In his final bout of villainy, Mozenrath horribly tries to [[GrandTheftMe bodyjack Aladdin]] and leave the boy hero trapped in either his own dying body, or inside Mozenrath's mind while he conquers the world.

** [[CatsAreMean Mirage]] is [[CardCarryingVillain evil incarnate]], devoted only to proliferating misery and destroying all that is good. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment As an early testament to her evil]], Mirage orders a village and its population incinerated in her debut just because of the crops they grow for the surrounding land. Mirage's plots range from the grandiose to the sadistically [[EvilIsPetty petty]], everything from attempting to have all of Agrabah destroyed and brewing up civil wars for fun, to trying to destroy Aladdin and Jasmine's love for each other by slowly transforming Jasmine into a snake. Mirage even tempts [[WouldHurtAChild children]] into her clutches, promising them immortality in exchange for becoming the monstrous El-Katib, a process she neglects to mention entails their eternal servitude in a dark void with release only every three years. Mirage has no issue abandoning the El-Katib to die, coldly leaving them all to perish in the sunlight when one of them finally defies her.

** In the episode, ''When Chaos Comes Calling'', Chaos creates an [[EvilTwin evil Aladdin]], who has his own evil Genie, who assumes the form of King Kong. The good Genie fights him off as [[Film/GodzillaVsKong Godzilla]].

* ToyShip: A few people might actually ship Aladdin with Sadira, due to [[BirdsOfAFeather having a lot in common]], especially in [=AUs=] where Aladdin and Jasmine never meet or fall in love.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Mozenrath doesn't really do a single decent thing or display any redeeming qualities in any of the episodes he appears in. This did not stop fans from interpreting him in a more sympathetic light and shipping him with multiple characters due to [[EvilIsSexy how charming and attractive he is]].

** Fatima and Minos, due to being an OutlawCouple who have some interesting history with Aladdin and Abu, get some decent CharacterDevelopment, and are initially subjected to a ForcedTransformation. Fatima's EvilIsSexy appearance also inspires a lot of fan art. Several fans wish they'd been in more than two episodes.

* EvilIsSexy: Mozenrath, Mirage, Saleen, pre-HeelFaceTurn Fatima, and Sadira (though she's more cute than sexy, and more of a FriendlyEnemy than evil). Also, Jasmine during her [[CriminalAmnesiac temporary]] [[EvilCostumeSwitch evil]] in "Forget Me Lots".

** [[BountyHunter The Mukhtar]] is a [[SnakePeople snake-like]] mercenary and the most [[ScarilyCompetentTracker skilled genie hunter]] in all the land. In his introductory episode, Mukhtar uses Iago and Abu to lead him to Genie and then masterfully fights and defeats Genie with a variety of skills, using both magical tools and pragmatic wit to outdo the powerful RealityWarper as well as his friends. Letting Genie go without issue when his employer calls the hunt off, Mukhtar later returns to take all of Genie's friends hostage in a ploy to lure Genie into Mozenrath's hands, which goes off without a hitch. Mukhtar's honor as mighty as his tracking abilities, the mercenary ends up [[HeelFaceTurn backstabbing Mozenrath]] while saving Genie and his friends due to a feeling of closeness with Genie, parting ways with the heroes peacefully at the end of his story after regarding them all as friends.

** Arbutus only appeared in 1 episode, but gained a fair amount of popularity due to his AntiVillain traits and making some [[VillainHasAPoint valid points]] in his GreenAesop. Being voiced by Creator/RonPerlman certainly doesn't hurt either.

** VainSorceress Saleen has an impressively diverse assortment of fan art. It helps she's pretty much a sexier, [[TheVamp vampier]] take on [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] partly inspired by an unused Ursula design.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In one episode, Genie states that men were most masculine in the 1970's. Nothing says ''TheNineties'' more than [[TheSeventies 70's]] nostalgia. Granted, this show takes place in ancient Arabia or Persia, but that's Genie for you.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The episode “The Secret of Dagger Rock” actually gives a solid (albeit humorous) explanation as to why Genie still has his cuffs in the series and sequels despite them disappearing when he was freed at the end of the first movie; in his words, "There's one thing I'm still a slave to, and that's fashion!"

** Fatima and Minos, due to being an OutlawCouple who have some interesting history with Aladdin and Abu, get some decent CharacterDevelopment, and are initially stuck in BalefulPolymorph forms. Fatima's EvilIsSexy appearance also inspires a lot of fan art. Several fans wish they'd been in more than two episodes.

** Somehow, the idea that Mirage is Mozenrath's mother has gotten quite a bit of traction among fans, manifesting itself commonly in fanfiction where Mozenrath is portrayed as Mirage's exasperated prodigal son. At no point in the TV show itself do the two have any interactions, nor is any such relationship even hinted at.

** [[CatsAreMean Mirage]] is [[CardCarryingVillain evil incarnate]], devoted only to proliferating misery and destroying all that is good. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment As an early testament to her evil]], Mirage orders a village and its population incinerated in her debut just because of the crops they grow for the surrounding land. Mirage's plots range from the grandiose to the sadistically [[EvilIsPetty petty]], everything from attempting to have all of Agrabah destroyed and brewing up civil wars for fun, to trying to destroy Aladdin and Jasmine's love for each other by slowly transforming Jasmine into a snake. Mirage even tempts [[WouldHurtAChild children]] into her clutches, promising them immortality in exchange for becoming the monstrous El-Katib, a process she neglects to mention entails their eternal servitude in a dark void with release only ever three years. Mirage has no issue abandoning the El-Katib to die, coldly leaving them all to perish in the sunlight when one of them finally defies her.

** Minos and Fatima pursuing Aziz after turning good and seeking redemption could have been an interesting story, but none of the three are ever seen again after their two-part debut.
