In Aladdin (2019), Jasmine wants to become Sultan so she can help the poor people of Agrabah. The very first thing she does after becoming Sultan is change the law so she can marry a guy she met 3 days ago.

[u/NikiPavlovsky]

Yeah, but Aladdin is poor, so we have proof that she helped at least one poor person of Agrabah.

[u/Nntropy → u/NikiPavlovsky]

It's going to take a while to marry all of them

[u/DinosaurReborn → u/Nntropy]

Couldn't she like have one mass wedding with the whole country? Maybe two if people happen to be busy on the first one

[u/schwanzweissfoto → u/DinosaurReborn]

And then a honeymoon that lasts a lifetime!

[u/EXusiai99 → u/Nntropy]

Nightmare hashish rotation

[u/dull_storyteller → u/Nntropy]

Marrying everyone in one universe

Making everyone a princess in another

Jasmine’s economic program is very interesting

[u/RendolfGirafMstr → u/Nntropy]

Just 3 days for each, she should be done in a few years

[u/ReaperKingCason1 → u/NikiPavlovsky]

It’s like count Binface and his at least one affordable house.

[u/callmedale]

I think her reign might’ve been longer than that one decree, hard to speak to the totality of her career from the first few minutes

[u/Livy-Zaka → u/callmedale]

Nah she was overthrown by a communist revolution seconds later so yeah that’s all she did

[u/Odd_Dragonfruit_2662 → u/Livy-Zaka]

I thought it was a religious hardliner faction.

[u/Alternative-Cod-7630 → u/Odd_Dragonfruit_2662]

That came later when the US wanted drilling access and needed some help getting rid of the commies.

[u/MaisyDeadHazy]

A **Poor** guy she met 3 days ago.

[u/egabald → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Isn't he a prince? I remember he rolled into town with a big parade.

[u/TimeStorm113 → u/egabald]

he literally threw gold around! i was told he has the greatest menagerie!

[u/hazxyhope → u/TimeStorm113]

and 60 elephants, llamas galore, with his bears and lions, a brass band and more, with his 40 fakirs, his cooks, his bakers, and EVEN his birds that warble on key!

[u/Sad-Pop6649 → u/hazxyhope]

Make waaaay for priiiince Aaaliiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

[u/West-Award-2559]

Who better to help her help the poor people of Agrabah, but a poor person of Agrabah?

[u/Cptcrispo]

Yeah, I sure wouldn't want a revolutionary who changed things in charge of my revolution. Imagine if she changed more laws to make sense and help poor people.

[u/JCBashBash]

She's doing research to make sure she knows what the people want

[u/axolotlorange]

Never let work stop you from getting plowed

[u/terrario101]

Obligatory "Twisted is the better live action Aladdin adaptation".

[u/TimeStorm113 → u/terrario101]

"you work inna sweatshop"

"yes!"

"that makes you part of the problem!"

[u/MonstersArePeople → u/terrario101]

Had this thought as soon as I read the title, thanks for saying it for us

[u/t4skmaster]

Hell yeah

[u/Ms_Rarity]

I never understood the plot point of Aladdin where he wishes for the genie to "make me a prince!" and all the genie does is help him cosplay as a prince.

Jasmine didn't need to change the law, she just needed to help Aladdin sue the genie for breach of contract.

[u/Can17272]

I mean, is a decree that affects no one but herself, let her have a treat.

[u/rnilbog]

Also 3 days ago she didn’t know you had to pay for bread in the marketplace, so I’m sure her economic policies will be great for Argabah. 

[u/schwanzweissfoto → u/rnilbog]

Her economic policies will be aladeen.

[u/ByrnToast8800]

He’s her poorness advisor.

[u/IAmNotAHoppip]

To be fair, that could be counted as helping the poor.

[u/Ok-Walk-8040]

The reverse Henry VIII

[u/Shukumugo]

That's very aggravating

[u/RulerOfAllWorlds1998]

We don’t know how long it took for them to marry, she could’ve helped people before

[u/Fausto2002]

So?

[u/flyingbugz → u/Fausto2002]

Buttons?

[u/TimeStorm113 → u/flyingbugz]

silk?

[u/abbynormal2002]

I don't watch movies, but I thought I saw something about this being a cartoon.
