I want Aizen's Bankai to be something entirely disappointing, like he manages to affect people's perception of their bodies like in those crazy mirrors at carnivals.

Would make fighting kinda weird.... Seeing that bankais are generally speaking a version of the shikai power only on a much greater magnitude I believe that Aizen bankai ability is to make things real even if they aren't entirely real.

Let me explain. His shikai creates full hypnosis. He can influence all the senses of his adversary. He can make you see someone as being him when it's not, he can even mess with people's perception of time, like he did with Yhwach. So if his shikai is all about illusions that serve mainly to control people and not really hurt them directly with it. Then his bankai should be about the ability to create illusions that can affect real things, like people. Like for example create the illusion that a person is surrounded by fire, and that person gets burned. Not because the fire is real but because he can create the illusion of reality.

This to would be Aizen bankai when he had a bankai. But seeing he no longer has a zanpakutou then I don't see how he's even able to use the hypnosis power of his shikai let alone bankai.
