Looks like we have the obligatory mean White man villain or buffoon at best.

If they wanted to give Aladdin a legit rival for Jasmine then they could have just actually taken from the story and give Jafar a son who he's trying to marry off. I'm sure Iago's not in this remake so the son could take his role as Jafar's sidekick.

I must have missed the bird. Anyway, I figure Iago wouldn't fit the tone they're going for ("it's all totally realistic serious business gaiz" besides Will Smith) so they canned him or at least make him more like he's Jafar's Petshop to his Dio Brando.

Still, there's no need to stick in this Prince Anders character considering they already had an easy way to give Aladdin a rival (the already mentioned son of the vizier from the original fairy tale).
 
Anyone think they snuck the white prince in there to make some dumb-ass "commentary"?

Also, where's the outrage from conservative muslims /islamists over this movie? That's when the fun will truly begin.
 
If they're going this route it would be bolder and make more sense narratively to go whole hog, have Jasmine make a political alliance with Jafar, help him overthrow her father and rule the kingdom through manipulating Jafar and his sorcery. I don't just mean this as an excuse for them to bring back the sexy red slave outfit. Promise.

I mean let's face it, her father was worthless and incompetent even before he decided to for some reason make a political alliance with a Scandinavian from the middle of the Near-East.

"In the first movie we felt like she didn't have enough of a goal, it was just to meet a guy."

I would rather say that Jasmine has a full transformation arc and it is actually much more articulated than Aladdin's: she's a capable (a "quick learner") young girl on the cusp of womanhood who's been sheltered her whole life and now is about to be sold off like chattel to some stranger. The nail on the coffin of her dreams of freedom coincides with, well, basically marriage and sex. This leads to her fatal flaw: a warped concept of relationship with the other sex (and by proxy her own sexuality), which she can only see as scary, antagonistic and oppressive, and to which she responds in turn with violence, either by siccing her tiger on men or by telling them to jump from a balcony and kill themselves.
The inciting incident for her story is the impending marriage and her irrational reaction to just run away. Her turning point is when Prince Ali shows her that a healthy relationship with a man is possible, that her equal partner is not her enemy and can help her fulfill her dreams (showing her the world) instead of caging her, so much that she starts accepting her sexuality (the smug smile after kissing Aladdin and the way she stops before closing her curtains). Later she even weaponizes her womanly charms to trick Jafar, showing that she completely overcame her fatal flaw.
Compare this with Aladdin, whose lesson is, I dunno... do not steal and lie, coz that shit's gonna get you in trouble?

Are they really so stupid to not see her arc, or they're just agenda-driven? Why do I ask, it's clearly the latter -.- I guess it is not progressive enough to show that a woman can be happy in a hetero relationship in which she is treated (and demands to be treated) like an equal (too many Jordan Peterson vibes probably). Let's have Jasmine assert her independence by wanting to remain an unmarried catlady for the rest of her days. Not miserable at all!

Edit: forgot to add, of course it's not PC to hint that Jasmine's objective oppression is largely because of the islamic setting of the story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Still say they should have just given Jafar a son who he tries to marry off with Jasmine. It's right in the fairy tale that the vizier was planning to marry off his brat to the princess. See:

Next day, at a sign from the vizier, she went up to the foot of the throne, and remained kneeling till the Sultan said to her: "Rise, good woman, and tell me what you want."

She hesitated, so the Sultan sent away all but the vizier, and bade her speak freely, promising to forgive her beforehand for anything she might say. She then told him of her son's violent love for the princess.

"I prayed him to forget her," she said, "but in vain; he threatened to do some desperate deed if I refused to go and ask your Majesty for the hand of the princess. Now I pray you to forgive not me alone, but my son Aladdin."

The Sultan asked her kindly what she had in the napkin, whereupon she unfolded the jewels and presented them.

He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizier said: "What sayest thou? Ought I not to bestow the princess on one who values her at such a price?"

The vizier, who wanted her for his own son, begged the Sultan to withhold her for three months, in the course of which he hoped his son would contrive to make him a richer present. The Sultan granted this, and told Aladdin's mother that, though he consented to the marriage, she must not appear before him again for three months.
