That's a tricky one but if I have to pick anything...

Tell me how exactly? Deep Jungle didn't have Tarzan have the conflict of whether he should stay with the gorillas or leave with Jane to try and be human. Tarzan was more focused on trying to help Sora find his friends before Clayton became corrupted by the Heartless, even Sabor lasted much longer who was killed off before the humans arrived in the film. Agrabah did have the basics about the genie's lamp but instead of trying to take over the palace like in the film, Jafar was more focused on the keyhole as the battle took place inside the cave of wonders and Jasmine was taken by Riku. Atlantica? They didn't even attempt to recreate the movie's plot till KH2 when they brought in Prince Eric and the surface. And Monstro? The entire story there is original since it focused more on Sora and Riku's conflicts due to their personal goals Also small tidbit, The way I saw it was that in KH1 you relieved certain moments from the films, in KH2 they put more of the emphasis of telling the same plot from the films to make em more like a hollow recreation (minus beast's castle, olympus coliseum, timeless river and space paranoids especially) and that's what started the trend of people questioning if Disney should be in Kingdom Hearts at all since the Disney worlds didn't contribute much to the main story. Even while reliving certain moments from the films in KH1 they still had a stronger emphasis of how they contributed to the main story and knew there was more outside of the specific worlds, KH2 sacrificed that world building (no pun intended) to be as loyal to the original films' plot as much as possible with Atlantica being the guiltiest culprit with all of the plot holes they created and character derailment they pulled just for the sake of reliving the movie. Sorry if I sound nitpicky but that's just the way I've been seeing it. Sure KH1 has the "basis" but there actually was more of an attempt to make the stories more original while keeping to the certain elements of the source materials and not just simply rehashing the films note for note.

"Well, originally, the KH series has always seen Sora and his friends experiencing the [same] plot of the original movies as its basis" ...Does he...not remember that the stories in KH1 were completely original? It was KH2 that started that trend, and if anything created the backlash that made fans question about the importance of the Disney worlds for the entire series up until KH3.
