Well, if I must... ;D
I like Iago 'cause he's in the gray area as far as good and evil are concerned. Even when he's with Aladdin, he's still a traitorous, backstabbing, greedy coward.
I also like the whole serial minioning aspect of his career: Jafar, to Aladdin, to Jafar again, to Aladdin again, fakes to Malcho, fakes to Mozenrath, to Cassim, to Aladdin, to Cassim. (And the series hints that there were more before Jafar...) He even jokes about it on House of Mouse. Cool. ;D

I thought Iago was too annoying for his own good... but I can't remember why.. didn't he talk a lot? if so I think that was why. I used to find it annoying when my mom talks alot... which was like all the time so I pretty much had to get over that.

It's Gilbert Gottfried. Actually, I can't stand him; I've seen him do stand-up and it's pretty annoying. I just like the character. ;D

I think it's interesting that Iago is considered the henchman. After all, he's the one who gives Jafar all his evil ideas (at least in the first one,) In return of Jafar, Iago shows some independence that other henchmen don't have. Iago isn't completely evil, just incredably self indulgent

I have to disagree here: Iago doesn't give Jafar all of his ideas. And yesh, if Iago didn't kow-tow to everyone, he might be considered a villain himself.
As it stands, he's filed under the title of "minion meat" much like Pain and Panic. Hey, you grovel before beings more evil than thou, you're going to get proclaimed a minion.

I have to disagree here: Iago doesn't give Jafar all of his ideas. Well, we don't know where the lamp idea came from, and the revenge idea Jafar came up with on his own in RoJ was just dumb, IMO. Sure, don't kill Aladdin when you get the chance... I've always read it as more of a tactical decision: he has to work through Jafar or others 'cause he doesn't have enough physical strength or magic power to work on his own. And, if his evil plans go sour, it's easier for Iago to worm his way out of punishment if he wasn't the boss. (Like he did. )

ok, FIRST--sequels are dumb, moronic, and do not EVER do justice to the original! To even use RoJ as an EXAMPLE is ridiculous---especially when talking about Jafar.
And as to where the lamp idea came from, I would think a magician such as he would have figured that out on his own. You know: researched, studied into what could aid him in taking over the Sultan's throne, etc.
*shakes head* Sorry, the one using magic and wanting power--and attempting to obtain that power--is the villain.
You call it tactical, I call it chicken. Or to use your word--a worm. He couldn't be a villain because he's the first to run and hide. Villains would stand up and fight, not run to the hero and grovel.
I was trying to think of a good example of something small that still pulls its own weight, but all I can think of right now is an ant---not the right example though. I'll keep thinking.
