That's hardly the same thing, dipshit. The point is you'll never be violently murdered by an antelope. Instead you get to live in a long life eating hundreds of antelope before eventually dying off.
So it's not exactly "eye-for-an-eye" you fascist asshole.

>So it's not exactly "eye-for-an-eye" you fascist asshole.
It's not supposed to be. I hink you misunderstood the point of Mufasa's speech, and possibly, the whole movie.
Grass is green
When grass is dead, it isn't green
When we die our bodies become the grass
And when death becomes green, it's probably grass

He was literally violently crushed to death by a wildebeest stampede like a day later, if the fall didn't kill him instantly.
He got his.

What point of the movie? The whole circle of life felt disconnected from the actual conflict and character arc, which was all about responsibility.

He literally was.

Lion cubs are killed by numerous predators and cape buffalo will actively seek them out and kill them. They are also under constant threat of being killed by another male, even if the lioness were just pregnant at the time the new male will kill them when they are born.
>>81500685
There's a balance that needs to be maintained. Scar didn't understand this, which is why the Pridelands went to shit when he let the Hyenas in and they started hunting everything.

>>81500685
>The whole circle of life felt disconnected from the actual conflict and character arc
It definitely wasn't. Scar took power using hyenas, breaking down the natural and important competition between lions and hyenas. It caused the herds to flee, and the whole ecosystem to be damaged. The Circle of Life was a thread throughout the whole movie.
>>81500083Is it a sequel?

Banishing the hyenas to a foodless wasteland instead of letting them live as equals seems like the opposite of balance.

They're in the same family, familia. They're not both considered "antelope".
It's more accurate to say that he was killed by an herbivore. senpai

They sang during Just Can't Wait to Be King but I dunno if musical sequences count.
Apparently they were going to have Mufasa say something like "Catch you later!" to an antelope, with it replying "Not if I can help it!" but decided that'd be too goofy/fucked up for the tone they were going for in that scene.
>>81500928
If they wanted to be equals they should have just worked harder, like the Lions do.
>>81500928
They lived in a Elephant Graveyard and could sneak into the Pridelands for a quick meal if they were desperate. They were hungry, but by no means were they dying off.
When Scar let them in they turned the Pridelands into another graveyard.
>>81500083
someone once said to me the most fucked up fact about life, to him, was the fact that you had to eat another living thing to stay alive. i guess he was having trouble understanding the fact that we, along with all other things are a commodity. the world is finite so why wouldnt it eat itself? i see more evil in the fact that we torture ourselves for years unlike a relatively quick death being eaten alive is... well life is an acquired taste, like bitter beer or auto erotic asphyxiation
>>81501090
If they are then the movie becomes very fucked up
>>81501191
I don't really know how to respond to the second part of your post. I'm pretty sure being eaten alive isn't going to be a quick death.

DAS
how do you guys feel about natural burials? they are becoming increasingly popular where people don't get a coffin or embalmed or anything.
just dig a hole, lower your body in, throw dirt on top
you guys alright with that?
>>81500799
>Balance is lions get everything and hyenas get nothing
Lion pls go
>>81501184
It's not their fault, the lions just kept them poorly educated about the realities of maintaining a proper ecosystem.

So how about this, maybe the property value wouldn't have dropped if the lions were actually allowed to hunt the hyenas instead of simply tolerating them under Scar's rule.

"Muh rightful throne" is a way older idea than the Apartheid, as evidenced by, you know, Lion King being an adaptation of Hamlet.

Zootopia? Clearly a sequel to Brer Rabbit.
Nothing is equal in nature, anon. Welcome to life. The balance of nature necessitates the inclusion of predator and prey.
Sounds fair to me.
Ungulates' are herbivores, so their food is practically everywhere. Big cats, on the other hand, have to hunt for their food weekly, plus their hunt success ratio is still 1/8 at best.
>>81501728
you seem to have put pyramid at the wrong end
>>81501336
Good riddance. Paying for expensive boxes and slabs of rock for a dead guy is dumb and conceited.
Being fertilizer or an organ donor has always been the best, productive alternative.
fuck herbivores they deserve to get eaten.
In the second movie, they are all singing how Kovu isn't one of them because his looks and origins, then are cheerful when he comes back with Simba's daughter.
You just know Kovu had great pleasure "accidentally" hunting and eating some of those previously singing ones.

It's a bloody waste of money if it's spent on something that you're literally going to bury and never get to use again. I don't know why anyone would want a coffin. Use to money you would have spent on a coffin and donate it to the NRA or something.
There's a video I've been looking for that's relevant to this thread that I can't find anywhere: It's a 3d cartoon in German where multiple jungle animals debate in a tv format about who should pay the most taxes, and eventually they all decide it should be the zebra who should pay it, even though he's the one who's victimized by the actions of every other animal in the panel.

I just remember seeing it on tv, don't remember the name.
It was a documentary or something and they were currently following two old lions that were brothers. The guides and cameramen were sad about the whole thing because they had to let nature take it's course as one of the brothers was eaten from the ass up. The following morning all they could find of him was a paw or claw or something.
Can't find the video, but there are similar ones on youtube.

It is funny how say elephants just ignore lions a lot because they don't give a fuck, they're nuisances.
Lioness hiunting parties, I admire. That is difficult shit. They also do show altruism to each other, take care of each other's cubs and orphans and sometimes team up to kill asshole males who are trying to kill off all their cubs. I respect lionesses.
>>81505198
they just don't care enough to rule
like, climbing up that fuckin' rock is probably a fair bit of work
The point is that we each die eventually and in our death serve the continuation of what still lives, also death is the greatest mystery and to assume it to be an evil is to claim you know something unknowable, we live and someday we die, better accept that as soon as possible.
