Twitter Can't Stop Freaking Out About Will Smith's "Terrifying" Genie In Disney's Trailer For The Live-Action 'Aladdin'
Brace yourselves.
If you watched the Grammy's last night, then you probably saw the first trailer for Disney's live-action Aladdin coming out later this year.
If you didn't, then you should consider yourself lucky if these Twitter reactions are any indication.
According to the internet, Will Smith's CGI-embellished genie is the stuff of nightmares.
While, after the release of the first movie poster, fans had called for the return of the genie's blue skin colour, this does not appear to be what they wanted.
Below are compiled just a few dozen of the funniest Twitter reactions to Smith's terrifying role.

Always been a Will Smith fan. Even enjoyed Wild Wild West as a teen. So believe me when I say KILL IT WITH FIRE.

The public seems to have added it to the long list of CGI blunders.
Therapist: "During this session, we'll learn to control our anger and distress. So what bothers you right now?"

Me: "I've just seen blue Will Smith"
Therapist: "FUCK DUDE. FUCK THAT. LIKE FUCK."
OH! DEAR! GOD! I AM NOT LIKING THIS ONE BIT, AT ALL! HONESTLY I WAS ALREADY SKEPTICAL WITH WILL SMITH AS THE GENIE WHEN I FIRST TOOK A LOT AT HIM, AND NOW I'M 100 PERCENT SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS. IT PUTS ME OFF AND LOOKS SO WRONG, HELL IT'S EVEN TERRIFYING ACTUALLY! pic.twitter.com/fiH79leVK4

There is already an internet folklore emerging about the genie.
I feel nothing but a deep primal fear towards Will Smith as the new Genie. His ears are so big and his forehead stretches into infinity. I want to kill him with fire. Why do we have to suffer? A new #Aladdin film is just pointless. Please God, save us from this hell. pic.twitter.com/ogUlgDdkqN

"Primal fear" is accurate.
