OUAT's Jafar is very, very different than OUATIW Jafar. In OUATIW, his motives were to break the laws of magic. This isn't the case here in OUAT as he wants to rule Agrabah. His goals are not organized well and does not make sense. We never really got the impression that Jafar wanted to rule Agrabah first in OUATIW. It was never hinted or speculated. I understand that Jafar might want to get the approval of his father, but it came out of nowhere with no building blocks to see why he wants to do it. The main reason why this is very weird because he was trained by Amara who showed him how to break the laws of magic which inspired him. Then he goes to becoming ruler of Agrabah as his ambition?? I feel Jafar's objective gets more vague as this season progresses.
