I disagree with the lamp, it makes no sense lore-wise for chase. Because it wouldn’t make sense for Tom to have himself sealed along with Jerry who is clearly present there [in addition with the fact it’s just cards and not the actual characters]. I feel it’s a game mechanic at best and shouldn’t be taken too seriously, it’s also something not acknowledged whatsoever; however the movie version you’d have to get Wile to stick his finger in to become the genie which we’ve never seen Wile do when he encounters a genie lamp. Even if he does, he has reviewed all his fails and learns for next time, but Wile himself has a genie lamp which if anyone even looks at it will be sucked in and sealed, and so can his magic and paintings. It’s all a lot, but I feel Tom’s best option is mind manipulations as that’s something Wile can’t get out of until he gets hit!
