Film Theory: Why Scar is the RIGHTFUL King! (Disney Lion King)

How many childhoods do you want to ruin? MatPat: yes

"The scar makes him evil" Me, with 6 scars: evil laughter intesifies

I like how just because the live action lion king looked more realistic, he immediately thinks that it will also play out more realistically

Mufasa and Scar probably had a strong bond in their earlier days, with Scar being the dominant one who was destined for greatness. However, Scar injured during a hunt as a result of a mistake or reckless behaviour from Mufasa which inhibited his ability to fight and be the rightful king.

People: How many more childhoods will you ruin? MatPat: Yes

"that's just a theory" actually that's more like scientific fact at this point

Scars make him evil Me with scars all over my body Breaths like dark vader

When I saw the live action, disappointment doesn't even describe how I felt. Scar is and has always been my favorite villian. I loved his design as an animation, and his songs were a vibe. But when they downgraded him to some mangy old ratty lion with barely even a hint of a mane, I was pissed. My man deserves respect. Not ridicule.

You should combine all your Disney videos into a playlist and call it ruining your childhood

“ain’t nobody got time to be a stepfather in the animal kingdom”😂😂😂😂😂

Ya know, even as a child I knew how lion prides worked, and I was always like "wait...isnt nala also mufasa's cub?"

There are 2 ways Mufasas death could’ve been avoided (there are more I know) 1. Simba could’ve hidden in one of the rock crevices that the stampede jump over 2. Mufasa could’ve just cling onto the edge and waited for the stampede to pass

"You're deader to me than Mufasa" * surprised Pikachu face *

"Ain't nobody got time to be a stepfather in the animal kingdom" 🤣😂

Matpat : "Your'e all deader to me than Mufasa'' Timon : "Dang that was personal..''

Also worth mentioning is that Pride Rock wouldn't be devoid of vegetation like it shows in the movie. Without herbivores for the lions to feed on the foliage would have grown exponentially larger. Predators often go hunting in areas where the plant life has diminished due to overfeeding by prey animals.

matpat be like: i love the smell of ruinded childhoods in the morning

"One word. INCEST. Think about it" Thats one way to grab my attention I guess

10:32 if killing all the cubs that aren't his that means... Nala is HIS REAL CHILD

There's actually another way this could have gone down; the movie just never happens. I mean, we could have followed Simba after he gets kicked out and see him form a coalition and then take over a new pride (ok actually that would be a reallly cool movie) but Scar might have just never challenged Mufasa. There are cases of up to three male lions ruling a pride simultaineously with shared power, and that could have happened here. Mufasa and Scar rule equally, kick out Simba, the Pride Lands never dissolve, and SImba probably goes and takes over Zira's pride or something.
