Childhood TV And Movie Heroes That Were Terrible Role Models

Aladdin Is Only Concerned With Himself

Although he’s just trying to survive, Aladdin is no stranger to stealing, scamming, and getting into fights. He’s also a little cocky which tends to get him into trouble. The worst thing about Aladdin is that when he was granted three wishes from the Genie, he only thought of himself.

He wanted jasmine to fall in love with him, to become a wealthy prince, and to stop from drowning. Although he freed the genie at the end of the movie, he didn’t use a single wish for the good of humanity, which seems selfish. A selfless Aladdin would be a good role model but the one in the film isn’t.
