The genie doesn't look great, but everything else in the trailer looks worse. Like, SW prequels 100% green screen worse. -- nm - Ender Feb 12, 12:01
I remember when they adjusted Banes voice in DKR cause nobody could understand him in a trailer -- nm - eag Feb 12, 10:21 1
- and they still goofed it up -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:37
The genie can literally take any form he wants. He doesn't necessarily need to be blue. At all. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 12, 10:17 18
- I always thought of blue as his "natural" state. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 12, 10:22 16
  - Blue is his natural state, for the purpose of the 1992 film. But one does not have to keep EVERYTHING when moving from animation to live-action - Mr. Havens Feb 12, 10:34 1
    - What the movie viewers want, are more blue penises. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:35
  - Also, if he wasn't blue, everyone would've lost their minds with a "WHY THE F**K ISN'T HE BLUE!?!!? Stop changing things just to change things!!!" - Shaun Feb 12, 10:25 13
    - This. "Why aren't you using the original genie? Why did you create a different one?" -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 12:10
    - or "hey, this looked good in animation, but in live action looks dumb" -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 10:44 5
      - What would you prefer? Yellow spandex? -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 10:45 4
        
        "we shouldn't make this movie, it's a bad idea" -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 11:05 3
        
        Sounds like David about Guardians of the Galaxy. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:22
        
        (for instance, this decision was made with the Nic Cage Superman) -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 11:08 1
        
        And look what it cost us! A Nicolas Cage Superman movie! -- nm - Roger More Feb 12, 11:19
    - What if they just borrowed Neytiri from Avatar to be the genie? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:33 3
      - The genie is now a female?!!?!?! WTF DISNEY STOP RAPING MY CHILDHOOD!!! -- nm - Idiot internet people Feb 12, 10:44 2
        
        Uh, I'm old enough that in my childhood, genie (well Jeannie) was female -- nm - JD Feb 12, 10:46 1
        
        And she ain't blue! -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:39
    - So...blue face is OK??? -- nm - Virginia Govenor Feb 12, 10:28 1
      - No, it's smurfist. -- nm - Baroon 5 Feb 12, 10:44
- "Have you tried, not being blue?" -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:19
