I don't think Carpet gets enough love...

First of all, I love the Aladdin universe and mostly all of its characters. I just love them, but if I had to choose then my choice would be Genie. Don't get me wrong, the others are good too, it just the fact that Genie is not just my favourite from the franchise, but he's one of my favourite characters of all time.

Why he is my favourite?

To be honest, not his comedy was the fact that made me love him. I love him because he's a lot more than a lot of people sees him. Yeah, he's the funny guy but under the skin there's just so much more. Just think about it: he had been serving jerks like Jafar (maybe some of them were not so bad) for thousands of years before he met Aladdin and he still can see the bright side of the life. He has a big caring heart, a true friend and his deeper/serious side just makes him more likable in my opinion. He is the one who still moves my imagination (okay, the whole Aladdin universe do this, but mostly Genie is the one who actually moves it) and a lot of characters of mine came up when I thought about him, mostly girls.

Does that mean he's a lover/boyfriend? Not at all. Since the very beginning, I've always seen him as a true friend, a brother and as a father, but not as a boyfriend. I don't know, I just can't imagine him like that (I can a little bit after reading fanfics about Genie falling in love) even though he would be very good at it (you're very lucky Eden).

It makes sad that he's immortal and can't be with Aladdin forever. He may stay with his family, but he would lost his buddy, his Al, the one who first saw him as a friend, not just an object. The one who freed him.

I just wish that he was real. I would like to be with him, talking to him all the time. I'm sure my life wouldn't be boring with him around.

There are some clever lines in the series that give a rare glimpse at his wisdom. Two of my favorites:

Er spammer?

I'll bite because I don't think I've answered--I do think Aladdin is overall my favorite character because he's relatable and "Proud of Your Boy" is the Disney song I most relate to but there isn't a character I don't like.

Jasmine's a close second because come on, she's kind of awesome.

And Genie for all the reasons you mentioned!

Jafar also may or may not be my spirit animal.

Seriously I can't pick a favorite..
