Just because the hero shows someone a potentially better path, doesn't mean that he is necessarily a messiah and "OH everything is fixed by the hero, including how we should think". Remember Ali Baba and Kassim? Ali Baba didn't make Kassim drop his hate because he is a messiah, but becaus he did make Kassim see what he has been blind to all this time. Kassim came to the conclusion himself after he saw what Ali Baba was really like.

Oh for god's sake
No, I'm not saying Scar and Kassim is pretentious, they were not babysat by messiahs.
Look at the theme of Magi, go re-read the entire 14 volumes over if you have to.
What is Aladdin's role? Do you think he's Jesus Christ? Or even a leader?
Aladdin's role is, has always been, the three wise men + Merlin. He was never there to provide answer, he is there to support the "worthy king".
How did the story resolve Kouga clan conflict? All Aladdin did was "beat up the bad guy" when the worthy king was in danger. The Kouga people and Hakuei figured out the rest. Same with Balbaad. Aladdin is there to support his king, not LEAD.
I can't believe you haven't realized the main theme of this story this far into the manga.
Aladdin's role here in Magnostatt is, obviously, as ALWAYS, to judge whether the king is worthy or not.
You are shutting out criticisms to your posts, not really reading what marvel is saying, and jumping to your own conclusions, bringing up "oh so you want Naruto and Bleach level crap?" which does not help your argument at all.
No one is saying Mogamett should end here. No one is saying he shouldn't have redemption.
His eventual redemption is
his problem. Aladdin is not there to babysit the asshole.
There's no problem with beating sense into him, and leaving the kingdom to handle
its own problem.
Things may be different if there's another King Candidate here, but as far as we can see, there aren't any introduced.
As for your latter half of the problem... Aladdin is not Alibaba. Alibaba is not here.
If anyone's Jesus Christ, it's Alibaba.
