Revision as of 21:29, December 17, 2017
, 21:29, December 17, 2017→Correction on Alladdin 3
I think that whoever wrote that article calling Alladin's father the main villain didn't really pay much attention to the movie. Even a casual watching of the movie would show that Saluk (and perhaps, to a lesser extent, the other thieves) was the actual villain. At worst, Kassim was like Iago in Return of Jafar, more like an anti-hero who couldn't be quite called good or bad. (Heck Iago isn't perfect in this one here as he helps Kassim try to steal the Oracle.)

:I know, and I did actually watch the film pretty closely as a kid (and yes, Iago does help steal the Oracle as well, I can confirm that), but Cassim technically was the central antagonist to the story since a large part of the story involved Aladdin trying to redeem him. Think of it like the Original Trilogy of Star Wars. Technically, Palpatine was the main antagonist of the three films, but the central antagonist was Darth Vader, the one who gets the most screentime and played a large prominent role in the overall plot. That's what the edit was trying to convey. I'll reword it to "central antagonist" rather than "main antagonist" since that's more accurate.
