Jafar's father's city is equal to Chicago, and his father would be the Mayor. Jasmine's father's city is equal to Springfield, and her father is the Govenor. Everyone's confused because this information came from twitter. People who don't read Adam's twitter could not figure it out with a vague "Capital of Agrabah" cause the last time Agrabah was shown it simply was "Agrabah" so they must not be the same, but I guess it's the viewers' fault for not catching up with Adam's twitter.

Since they are such great planners who planned everything ahead of time, I would have expected it would be like your example - "Illinois, Agrabah" and "Chicago, Agrabah". It was a bit messy, but they did the best they could. It would have helped if Jasmine had mentioned that Jafar had come from one of the other cities in Agrabah where the Sultan had mysteriously vanished or something. But I'm just happy they figured out a way to do Aladdin and Jasmine and still keep everything from Wonderland intact. I was totally with you until you said "best they could". It definitely wasn't because you even gave ways they could have been better.

As this episode goes, they did a lackluster job. Don't know if they'll retry in a future episode, but anything would be better than ignoring the elephant in the room.
