Jafar was a fantastic villain because he was practically a nice counter to Alice. Up there with Rumple, but Rumple seasons 1, 2 adn not the rest when he's a spastic individual.

Plus there are things noticed upon rewatch. In 1, Ana said that Rabbit would help "decorate" the room and I totally was lost and thought Rabbit was some ambitous being. However, it was because he's a rabbit and his skin (and his family could be skinned). If you add the comic with the March Hare then you'd realize that rabbits were highly persecuted and hunted down by a crazy sadist.

Oh, and 2's line of:

Jafar: What is it that you desire?

Farzeed: Mercy, my lord.

Jafar: Seems like neither of us are getting what we want today.

Then kills him. That's slightly scene chewery evil. That's what makes him good. Even like Devil's Due's Dark One Rumple scene where he's chewing the scene with golrioud evil. Best combo to me is slightly camp, slight psychopathy, tons of villany.
