Allusions have a varying degree of strength and if someone doesn't see it, such is life. Allusions are not opinions! If you take a literature class you'll know that allusions, metaphors and other literary devices are hardly based on opinion. You either notice or you don't. You can't say something isn't a metaphor in literature because you don't see it that way, the same is with allusions.

Cyrus greatly alludes to the Aladdin story the most, besides the Sultan and Jafar. All others are a tad weaker. If it's not a matter of opinion, then majority shouldn't rule.

People here say that Cyrus is an allusion to Aladdin but nobody states why. Cyrus is the protagonist to Jafar's antagonist.

Cyrus is s street rat and thief that lives in Agrabah., But he's also the Genie that Jafar's after. He's Jafar's Aladdin and/or Genie. Cyrus is neither a street rat or a theif, that was Will. He lived a happy selfish life with his family and endangered them with his recklessness. Everything you said about Jafar is that Cyrus is indeed the genie, nothing more. Jafar is an allusion to Aladdin since he was an orphan who lost his mother at a young age and Will is an allusion to Aladdin since he's a theif who lives on the streets. None of these attributes can be applied on Cyrus, people just see what they want to see and not what is actually there. Well, then he's the geneie and Will is Aladdin, still allusions present. Cyrus isn't a street rat, but he was the troublemaker that traveled to something of Wonders and got a genie in a lamp (aka himself). He's from Agrabah and the target of much of Jafar's antagonism.
