Ok, you made your point; there is absolutely no reason for you to flip out like that. No, Sun is not based on Aladdin, but the two do have some similarities (at least Sun and the Disney Aladdin do), as the original poster mentioned. Aside from the blonde hair, the two both wear shirts that expose their abs...I mean chest. Also in the Disney movie, he had a monkey sidekick and Sun is a Monkey-Faunus. Plus, Aladdin is considered a riff-raff and a thief and is being chased by the police during his introduction; Sun in his first appearance stole bananas from a ship and is chased by the police. Weiss even calls him a riff-raff, a term used to describe Aladdin (he even has a song about it). Just as a bit of fun as well, people have already started pairing Sun and Weiss, a riff-raff and an heiress.

Even if Sun isn't based on him, it appears that someone at RT has been watching a little too much Disney. I mean I once suggested that despite Penny most likely being a nod to Pinocchio, she shares many traits with Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. People find connections, whether the writers intend it or not.
