Both Naveen and Oded are playing a very cold, calculating, sinister Jafar, which matches his character(both from Disney and from the original source). Naveen was in no way a mis-cast, in my opinion. He took Jafar and owned the role, just as Lana has owned the role of the EQ and Ginny has owned the role of Snow White. The  characters portrayed bear only a vague similarility with their Disney Counterparts.

What we see of Oded's take on Jafar in 3 minutes of finished footage shows us some of the direction he is going to take on the character, and I think it is direction based both on the Disney version of Jafar (which is definitly one of the best classic Disney villains ever, up ther with Mal and the EQ) and the Wonderland version of Jafar. I think we'll need to see more of where Oded takes the character, as I am guessing that he will apply his own spin to the character (which is what a good actor should do).

but I am encourages with where he started.
