Disney Thirty Day #8
Aug. 9th, 2010 11:21 amDay #8: Your favorite villain
For those who saw the Aladdin tv series, I think most would agree that Mozenwrath is probably the most memorable (male villain anyway, I think Mirage is also up there.)
Mozenwrath is like Aladdin's opposite, in the same way that Joker is opposite to Batman. They're the same age and both came across powerful magic, but handle it in different ways. Plus, Mozenwrath was willing to give up his right hand for power (you can't say that skeleton hand isn't creepy) while as he stated Aladdin "was given magic on a silver platter." Do I sense resentment much?
For a brief bio, Mozenwrath was the apprentice to the ruler of the Black Sands, but then somehow over threw him and took over himself (and made his former master into a Zombie @_@). He is probably one of Aladdin's most powerful enemies and as a controller one of zombies the creepiest too. I guess what intrigues me the most about him is that the tv series only hints at his backstory. Did he start out as a streetrat like Aladdin? Did something happen to make him want power? Who did he make the bargain for power with? Also, there is a plot element I had really wish the tv series had wrapped up.
In on episode, it's revealed that Mozenwrath has a shorten life thanks to the bargain he made, so to extend his life he tried to switch bodies with Aladdin. As you can imagine, this plan failed, but they never bring this issue up again. Did he find someway to extend his life, or did he just die? Granted, maybe that was why he was after Genie's magic so much, to use his powers to extend his life.
Oh, fun fact, according to wiki for the third Aladdin movie they were toying with the idea of revealing that Mozenwrath was actually Aladdin's brother. DUN! DUN! DUN!....yeah, I'm rather glad they didn't go that route, that would have been weird. Plus, it would have been confusing for people who never watch the tv series.
