So they are different Sultans, and things should become clear in the episode. Also, he once again said that Wonderland remains canon. Hmm... maybe Jasmine and her father aren't from Agrabah but a kingdom close to it, and Jasmine travels to Agrabah to get help from Aladdin. That's the easiest way to do it, while still keeping all of Wonderland canon, I think. Lol, not really because everyone expects them to be from Agrabah. It'll be simple. Sultan J-Daddy was usurped by Jafar. The heir was Mirza who was killed by Jafar. The council of elders shared the same disdain for unoffficial Jafar and they simply crowned the next in-line (a powerful noble or closest of kin) while Jafar was away. Then Jafar decided to "share" the throne. Well, when asked if the two Sultans ruled over the same kingdom at different times, Adam said "not quite". So I don't know if your theory lines up with what Adam is implying. So do you think I'm on to something, or is there another option none of us are thinking of? Perhaps. Honestly, the writers just made things a lot harder for themselves than they needed to. The problem is that the writers have to work around the pre-existing mythology from Wonderland, but do so in a way where it's not required for people to have watched the show prior. Had they not gone ahead with the whole Jafar=Sultan's son storyline from the get go, things would have been much simpler for them currently. If we really do get some explanation in this episode, I get the feeling it's going to come across as some brief "we just inserted this information here to please the hardcore fans that will bother us if not addressed" thing. It reminds me of how they handled the Ursula thing. Making the Season 4 Ursula be named after the Sea Goddess felt like it was something they tacked on for continuity reasons at the last minute, and not deliberately planned from the beginning.
