YU-GI-OH! Fans Have the Best Way to Respond to Will Smith’s Genie

By FizX on February 24, 2019@fizx

Many fans found Will Smith’s Genie for the upcoming Aladdin movie not up to the standard. Anime fans have discovered ways to make the most out of their frustration though. One fandom, in particular, has done a color change and found that Genie works excellently as a popular trading card.

That’s right, Yu-Gi-Oh! fans have stepped up and turned Smith into La Jinn the Mystical Genie of Lamp. First was @House_of_Champs, who made it as though Smith had just been summoned in hologram form. Then, @QSKSw took it a step further and turned the image into a trading card.

The greatest part is that while most of the card is the same as to La Jinn, there are subtle changes like the name and flavor text. What do you think of Smith’s Genie? Should he just become a trading card?

Aladdin will hit theaters on May 24, 2019.
