Despite the overt differential of power dynamics, it's *always* important to respect your genie's hard limits when setting mutual wish-granting expectations!

      Also, many things can grant wishes, not just as djinn, and if you you get a genie granting you a wish, you better understand they're doing that BY CHOICE. They may have a code of honour or somesuch that leads to the decision, you did something nice for them and they want to repay you, but whatever principle it is, it's ultimately a principle they chose to follow and aren't ultimately bound by if you start treating them like like a dick or they just no longer feel like it.
      Yeah, I kinda lost the BDSM track there, but I think it needs to be said: Djinn aren't wish granting machines; they are just powerful people who show actual kindness and gratitude because they don't gain said power from exploitation or privilege but being a metaphysically manifest being maneuvering the very fabric of existence in a way most humans just don't. They'll grant you a wish if they please, they understand it, and it's in their own power to give or get.

    I love how, in the movie, Genie said that He can't bring anyone back from the dead but then goes on to say "It's not a pretty picture and I don't like doing it." which implies that he in fact CAN bring people back from the dead and almost certainly HAS done so but hated the results so much that he asks his masters not to do it.

      ok but Jafar did actually wish to be a sorcerer so at least he wasn't stupid with his wishes...honestly Aladdin and Jafar were kinda smart with their wishes though Aladdin was cheated on that prince thing...he wished to be a prince but instead they just made him look like a prince instead from what I gathered...that part just always seemed weird to me

    Besides the point, but I just wanted to bring up that Disney’s Aladdin invented (or at least popularized, I don’t know for sure) basically all the “rules” for genies, including them being automatically bound to lamps. Technically they don’t have to give anything, they can just choose to give one or more wishes when freed from imprisonment. Which could be a lamp, but could also be a ring, or a jar. And they’d grant wishes (if you got lucky) through having lived longer and accumulated wealth, or knowledge of magic, or wisdom on how to get what you want, etc, not just straight up reality warping.
