scar did literally nothing wrong

That and he literally murdered his brother but sure, keep being contrarian.
>>64233822
He was considered evil long before that.
>>64233448
and because he's gay
>>64233822
>murdered
>in the animal kingdom
It's not like they're living in a democracy, might is right
>>64233842
Was a dick to his brother a lot. If you were king, you'd dish out shit about him too
>>64233842
By who? I'd say he was just an unpleasant guy to be around but not outwardly evil until then.
>>64233918
>muh cultural relativism
How's your first high school philosophy course treating you?
>>64233918
Regicide then.
>realize all the other types of animals were around as a manageable backup food supply
Another pair of lions should have fought them and left Mufasa critically injured... scar could have just spectated the whole seen.
>>64233976
How do you think Mufasa got to be king? He wasn't elected and was a big guy. They don't abide by human morality
>>64234088
>They don't abide by human morality
Within the universe of The Lion King they clearly do.

His crew of lions weren't even allowed to live with the rest of the pride.
>>64234121
they run around murdering things for food.
if the lions are humans so are the others right?
>>64234121
Do they? They seemed to operate on mob mentality and follow the rule of might is right. They lived fine and dandy under scar with no revolts until a stronger male appeared
>>64234187
circle of life, yo.
He's considered evil because he committed fratricide and orphaned his nephew for personal gain. It's a children's movie, Jesus Christ.
>>64233786
How about overconsuming the local food supply leading to ecological breakdown in the Pridelands? Fucking Simba probably had to make like a New Deal for lions when he took back the kingdom, or maybe they just ate the hyenas. Let's not forget that Scar only seized control with the help of the Hyenas and allowed the kingdom to suffer to pay them instead of seizing power and betraying them. Scar was a fucking dumbass.
>>64234219
Not true. Under Scar's rule, they were quickly running out of food and resources.
>>64233448
best villain song NA
>>64234441
You make an excellent point. Why the fuck was Scar loyal to his idiot hyena henchmen once he got what he wanted?
>>64234512
Because they outnumbered him like 1000 to 1?
>>64234512
He needed them to help keep him in power.
Mufasa is a conservative ruler while Scar is a leftist leader that reach the power by promising integration and better life conditions to the oppresed masses. Like this is Disney, conservadurism = good and liberalism = bad
Reminder that at some point Simba's bloodline seized the throne in exactly the way Scar did. No King or Queen is free from blood on their hands, the power is always taken by force and war and bloodshed if you go back far enough. Scar did nothing wrong.
>>64233448
It might have something to do with the whole fratricide thing.
People tend to look down on that sort of shit.
>>64234651
Like all good conservative leaders, Mufasa knew it's best to keep the unsavory riff raff out.
>>64234683
Lion's challenge the king regularly so that their pride is assured the strongest possible leader. Mufasa got killed on a technicality, yes, but he was still outsmarted by your average asshole. He doesn't deserve to lead anyone.
>>64234731
Are you fucking retarded?
Lions don't have "kings" and the males are kicked out of the pride at adolescence. The only challenges are from bachelor lions who don't have a pride. They don't "lead" anything either. The lionesses pretty much take care of themselves.
>>64233448
>so hungry for power he was willing to side with a bunch of dumb nig nog hyenas
I can spot a few holes in his plan.
>>64234897
Pretty sure he's talking about the fictional world established in the movie, not real lions.
>>64234651
>>64234713
cute
hyenas obviously wanted to be master race of the multi animal empire though.
