>>7297151The more I think of it, the more younger, hunkier Jaffar works with our modern sensibilities and that problematic end scene where Jasmine is his sex slave.
Now in the original, it was really gross that Jasmine was the personal sex toy of a guy that's ugly, old enough to be her father, and possibly an incel. But in the live action remake? It's SUPER hot to be a sex slave to a handsome, young, rich guy. Fifty Shades of Grey taught us that. The Mouse is all about selling that sex on a subconscious level. So why not do a 180 on the most sexually charged scene in the whole movie?
