Seeing Will Smith Genie has kinda made me realize that Aladdin is probably one of the worst movies Disney could've picked for a live-action remake since alot of the charm of the movie came from how far they were able to push the visuals and how much fun they had with all the- pic.twitter.com/uTsMPhUZlj

Childhoods have been ruined
There is no hope
An abomination has been created
If Goro from @MortalKombat and Papa Smurf had a child, it'd be Will Smith's blue Genie from #Alladin pic.twitter.com/mENqgsMpvg

Something to look forward to? Or not…
Keeping in mind that Genie in the original movies was a constant shape shifter, we're probably going to see Will Smith's head on more than just a huge blue CGI body. pic.twitter.com 7EsHcnxZu
