Talk:The Sultan/@comment-36964593-20190322053832

He may be a good-hearted man but he honestly is more of a fool and does not demonstrate much in the ways of qualfying as a Sultan mentally. Let's look at how he is mostly seen playing with his toys and trying marrying his daughter off to random strangers (he's never even once heard of Prince Ali, and yet he's ready to hand her over?). Only twice in the movie did we ever see him demonstrate his powers as the Sultan and that was his upbraiding of Jafar and changing the marriage law, yet both of them were to demonstrate his care for his daughter. There is little evidence of him ever shown of his tending to the major problems of the kingdom such as poverty and crime (think of the children going through the garbage and Aladdin's constant thievery to survive), doesn't this make you wonder how he manages to rule his people (this opinion is based on the original movie and not the franchise)?
