How in the world could he, after being a Genie for a few years

Semi-phenomenal nearly cosmic powers

Genie's power got nerfed when he became freed
He couldn't even stop the temple from collapsing
>After getting his freedom, it is unclear of these limitations still implied, although he stated that he had suffered a reduction in power due to his new freedom, describing his current powers as now being "semi-phenomenal, nearly cosmic power" as opposed to his previous "phenomenal cosmic power".

>>95174719
He wished to be the most powerful genie.

>>95174719
He wished to be an All-Powerful Genie, which I assume is better than a Genie. Also a free genie has less power.

He basically had to be nerfed for the show to exist.

A lamped genie is like an administrator account, control over everything but needs to be logged in to access it
A freed genie is like a publicly available mod account in a small community, everyone else can use it to modify stuff and clean up the place but it's still restricted as to prevent one of the users to fuck up things too much
Seriously, if you had been a genie imprisoned for god knows how long and someone freed you, tell me you wouldn't make the universe go pop just to enjoy some peace and quiet

He did not.

When does the movie or the show say that?

>>95175153
Animated series nigga

>>95175478
What episode?

>>95175153
I think his exact words were "an all-powerful" genie. He can be considered to have no limitations beyond the bounds of genie existence

It's been mentioned in the show a few times iirc.

>When does the movie or the show say that?
the second the genie first shows up and we hear castellaneta's voice. he explains to everyone and the audience that his powers are lesser now
why he puts fake manacles back on i have no idea. maybe his wrists felt naked

Well, makes sense. If you think of Fairly Odd Parents, there's an episode in which Norm gets free from being a genie, so he becomes a Fairy Godfather, but has to follow the rules etc.

What of your first wish was for the genie to make a rock that he cant lift it and your second wish was for him to lift it?

I like to think it's kind of like this. Our genie was created into the role of a genie and possibly never gave the full implications of his power much thought, mostly just goofed off with them when he had the chance and pined over the freedom of humanity, and was also possibly a little distracted by his enslavement and the limitations it set him. But Jafar clearly studied and obsessed over magic and the possibilities of its power, and maybe he had a lot of ideas on what to do if he ever got that lamp, and he did all that thinking and fantasizing with the creativity of a free person with a wish to oppress others.

Like amendments to the U.S. Constitution, or the Ten Commandments, later wishes always supersede earlier ones.
