Skar has to be in the top ten most evil Disney villains. He set up his nephew to be killed. When that failed, he does it again, but planning to get his brother killed as well. After murdering Mufasa in the most sadistic way he could, he tricks Simba into believing he is responsible. Instead of killing Simba, Skar tells the hyenas to do it, so Simba would die thinking Skar was innocent.
now he's the tragic hero ... how dare you call him a villain? He was clearly just saving HIS people from the evil Mufasa and his bloodline. And failed - hence tragic.
The original scar’s motivations were literally so perfect and made so much sense. He was just a younger brother who wanted to be king and he killed his brother and got rid of his nephew to make that happen. I will NEVER EVER consider mufasa to be canon. Scar was the perfect villain that did NOT need a backstory
yeah... Hamlet is a solid story. ton of comments acting like the original was also an original story, it wasn't. right down to ghost dad telling us what we need to do with our thus far wasted life. you can choose not to consider this prequel canon but it makes more sense than any of the naysayers give it credit for. Honestly I think so much hate for Mufasa comes from that token desire to be against something popular or successful. I've seen few reasoned arguments for why it's bad overall. I've seen some good points about stuff that could've been better but I would've accepted them better amongst a reasonable analyzing that admitted a chunk of the story has merit for what it is and was executed decently, again a lot but not ALL of the time.
Scar didn't even need to stop being Mufasa's brother. What's the issue, two brothers fancying the same girl that neither is related to? Is that actually a bad thing? Is it against the law? Is it considered inbreeding? No, that's actually something that can totally be pulled off and might have actually added something.
The problem isn't that Scar now has reason to hate Mufasa, but that the reason doesn't match the motive nor the drastic actions he takes. He was so happy to have Mufasa, and even criticized and doubted his father's teachings, and was very protective of Mufasa. But all it takes is a girl, the ONLY girl around for miles, for him to join the guy who killed his whole family and help them kill both Mufasa AND Sarabi??? It doesn't add up even within its own movie, and adds up even less outside of itself considering that: THERE WERE OTHER LIONESSES, THERE WAS OTHER LAND. If Mufasa hated being denied his Kinghood, he could have just GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE, the outsiders were wiping out every other pride, there would have been significantly less competition. Like, who WROTE this movie???
Underpaid writers who probably took advantage of the suits up top not caring about this movie either. Can't blame them, but holy sht does it SHOW they didn't even try
Scar being not a real brother of Mufasa sucks. And in the end when mufasa says that My brother can stay but I will not take his name and taka immediately comes up with another cool name which everyone accepts is actually a cruel joke.
Now that I think about it, that’s kind of right. In the beginning, 1994 version, when Mufasa talks to Scar, he turns his back to Mufasa and Mufasa said, “Don’t turn yoir back on me scar!”, Scar replied: “Oh no Mufasa, perhaps you shouldn’t turn your back on me,” “Is that a challenge?” (mufasa), “Temper, Temper. I wouldn’t dream of challenging you” (Scar), “Pity, Why not?” (Zazu), “Well as far as brains go, I’ve got the lion’s share, but when it comes to brute strength…. I’m afraid I have the shallow end of the gene pool.” And he walks off from Mufasa and Zazu. So either, he said that because he isn’t the one with a pride of his blood anymore, or he said that because he and Mufasa are supposed to be or were supposed to be blood brothers in the original 1994. I’m confused now 😭 And yes, I know every single lone in The Lion King 1994 version, and I HATE the live action from 2019, except that the hyenas weren’t freaks in 2019 Version.
When I found out they werent brothers I was so annoyed. Some time ago when the lion kind 2 was created Disney said scar and mufasa weekend bothers I’m so confused and when the loin kind was created they were blood brothers. 😭
Scar wasn't pure evil in the original. If anything it was a more realistic take as many princes, kings and Sultans kill siblings to become the ruler of the kingdom. Scar killing Mufasa to become king is more realistic than the Mufasa version.
I always hated live action in any movie and show, this is why anime is watched and created with passion by adults. Cartoons are my favorite style to watch anything. CGi is good too at times.
If they had wanted Mufasa and Scar to not be realted by blood why not have Scar been the orphan Cub ? And not Mufasa ? It would make his actions in the main movie even more devious as he's not just betraying family but a family that took him in .
Coz then scar becomes an empathetic character. The orphan who wanted to be more. This way at least justified why scar felt he should have been the king.
@rambhaskar6728 they still could have made Scar been an orphan who starts off as sweet but grows bitter as his parents would still love him but send more time with Mufasa in training him to be king which fuels his envy. In the Comics shown that Scar always resented Mufasa even at a young age why should this be different and their dad in both the comics and the 2019 novelization loved both his sons equaly but preferred Mufasa due to him being more responsible and mature. Mufasa not technically being in the royal blood line ruins the 2019 movie cause with this in context why should Simba go back now? Scar is semi justifed in what he does ( killing is still a no no ) Mufasa trusting Scar makes even less sense now as there not brothers at all. And it makes Scar's actions seem now less impactful cause he's not betraying family but random lions now as Simbas " My father your own BROTHER how could you " doesn't feel as impactful now. In fact one idea for the 1994 Was that Scar was going to be a rouge lion but to make it more dramtic they decided to make him part of the family and it works this doesnt.
I much prefer that Scar was mistreated as a child by his parents (hence the scar) because of his sassiness, and loathed his older brother because he was more powerful and probably treated better because he was a quality guy. This gives him motive but doesn't take away from his evilness. Mufasa (the movie) ruins everything we love about The Lion King.
Who else noticed 1) The reason Mufasa is a better hunter and overall smarter is because he was raised by lionesses, who are known for being the hunters of their pride. 2) Taka/Scar's voice changed when he made an alliance with Kiros.
I say it and I would do it again: I don't know where Disney got this story of Scar who loves Sarabi from. Scar never liked Sarabi, neither in the prototype nor in the final product. He was originally going to be Zira's companion but was removed so that Kovu and Kiara could date. Even Worse, Sarabi is the main reason why Scar betrayed his brother rather than power.
In the 2019 remake, Scar as the new king tried to make Sarabi his queen, posing threats to starve the lions if she did not oblige. From that we can infer that Scar showed interest for her in the past. But I agree that they could have made Taka's fall from grace a little more meaningful rather than a love triangle.
Well there's some examples Andrealphus : Buh Bye Stolas, enjoy horny jail But then again Vivziepop is known for making every single one of her villains either a moron or incel
Is it really Mufasa's fault when his brother did nothing to try and prove the lies Mufasa told to her? (context: during one of the scenes Mufasa smells a kind of flower on Serabi, and tells Taka about it. He almost blunders this by saying she smells like a duck instead of duckgrass. Later during a stampede Mufasa saves Serabi while she's unconscious, and when she wakes up he tells her that Taka saved her. Later she figures out that it was Mufasa, and Taka, seeing this decides to betray them)
Why Mufasa shouldn't have been king 1.doesn't forgive taka 2. disrespects taka by changing his name 3.doesn't appreciate taka saving him 4.not realizing he has to much pride 5. Not Giving taka another chance bc taka could have let mufasa die but change his mind bc he loves his brother Reasons why he should be king 1.(bringing, anothers together) but not his brother 2.great hunting skills 3.brave 4.controls emotions 5. Iq is high 6. Tracking skills
@@Daniel71912The most egregious thing that breaks the canon is mufasa's lineage. In this movie, he doesnt have a noble ancestry, making "the great kings of the past looking down on you" mean nothing because those arent related to the pridelands or mufasa. Another thing, the fact him and scar arent brothers also violates what was established in the lion king. AND scar being an only child also makes his own lore not make sense, because Taka means dirt/filth, not really a name befitting the destined king of your pride. In the original lore, mufasa was scar's elder brother and he got the name Taka because their father didn't expect anything from him. Taka was a problem child in the original canon so he effectively earned his name and his subsequent scar (through a dumb stunt to try and prove himself stronger which backfires).
@@BlazingKhioneus "Taka" also means "to want". Maybe that's what his name symbolized in Mufasa The Lion King, because he very clearly wanted to be king (rightfully so), he also wanted Sarabi's affection, and when she instead chose Mufasa Taka then wanted revenge. From a young age Taka always tried to get what he wanted, through good or bad (eventually just bad). As for the lineage, I think it was originally implied that Scar and Mufasa were not actually related since that is not really how lion prides work irl. Maybe they were just brother-in-arms or something like that. Though te old comics that show that their father always preferred Mufasa over Taka, the comics aren't really deemed canon by Disney so I never rlly followed them.
@ It's pretty well implied they're blood brothers because that's how regicide works. In real life, lions dont give a toss about protecting anyone but their own, so using the "well in real life" arguement kinda falls apart.
Me my dad and my brother all watched the movie together We all hated it my dad especially hated it because he grew op with the original lion king Great video very well made
If you try to change something that was important to the story afterwards, the whole story seems disjointed and unstructured. And that's well known. So why do they do that? I don’t understand that.
I want Disney to gain their magic back! They have been losing their touch since their decision to make constant live action remakes rather than original animated classics. Disney please stop making remakes, I’m begging you!!😢😢
Lmao, that albino lion has the King Magnifico villain song problem. What the fuck is this? Why are they genuinely trying to make their VILLAN songs an up beat, happy, finger snapping toon. Like bro this is embarrassing. It truly is not that hard to make a villain song evil sounding.
@@michaelthecinebro it would be better if during the song he attacked and coked the king, showing his dominance and his POV of being king. But his song comes off awkward and weird
nerd here 8:24 thos lions are not albino because you can tell from the nose and eye color that are not red/pink if they were red/pink it would be a albino... (if i am wrong tell me i am dumb)
The amount of people who haven't read the books is staggering. It's amazing how you place an entire company's blame on one scriptwriter. I'm not saying your criticisms aren't completely without merit but are you really that dense that you can't automatically figure out this continuity doesn't apply to the original animated film canon? Going in with that kind of rotten attitude isn't going to help much either.
Bye Bye Bye has nothing on Be Prepared. Kiros doesnt even strike anyone in that song number. I agree I always wanted a brother. it doesn't work like I just want to be king because that song was used to distract Zazu. I feel like the song from Balto two the grand desgin worked better in showing two leader philosophy then the one verse between Mufasa/ Taka
Be Prepared is such an awesome song, and the animation that goes with it fits so well. Modern Disney can't find a storyline or a mood to save it's life - i don't think I've watched a modern Disney movie in years. The first frozen maybe? I think that was the last one
There was an entire song in the show Lion Guard that explained why Scar turned evil and if I remember correctly, there was a book series that was telling stories of Mufasa when he was young.
@@xxxnarurto5747 Mufasa: The Lion King is meant to be a prequel for the 1994 version (that’s what I got when I searched it up). The 2019 is a REMAKE and not a version in a separate universe. It’s basically the same story as the original, just an edited script but definitely not as good as the original.
I keep hearing folks on here saying scars reasons for wanting Mufasa dead doesn't make sense, and that's completely false. Scar was jealous of the connection Mufasa had with his mother, she adored him. And to compound things, Mufasa stood up and defended her while Scar fled, causing his father to respect him. All Scar was was the son of the king, nothing more to him, said so himself and then there's Sarabi. His first love, and then he sees she has eyes for Mufasa. The guy just kept getting in the way and making scar feel inadequate.
Everything wrong with Mufasa: It destroys the Lion King mythos completely. Erasing the bloodlines of Great King Mohatu, his daughter Queen Uru and her King consort Ahadi, and the brothers history of being ACTUAL twin cubs, where one - mufasa was treated as the only true heir, and taka (meaning dirt) was treated like garbage (a spare). And yes, Mufasa stole Taka's love interest of Sarabi - he wasn't interested in her until Taka was. Mufasa was the Jock Jerk brother who got everything he wanted, and thought he deserved. Taka was the "disappointment child" the one their father wished they had never had. His mother tried to shield him, but Taka grew up resentful of Mufasa, and rightfully so. He IS a sympathetic villain. He always has been. But THIS way of telling it? No. Its bad. Just bad.
Well America has an obsession to make royalty bad because it didn't work out for them. So it makes sense that a modern take that can't separate the story from the country's history to do this.
Live actions are meant to be different from the original. That's why they are called adaptations. They take pieces from the source materials, not everything but enough to inspire a new fresh take on the characters. It's not supposed to be like the source materials they are supposed to be different and have they're own uniqueness. This and other LK movies are not in the same continuity and they don't have to establish the same rules as the original and other adaptations.
My biggest issue with his movie is that Scar is _so_ petty that it comes off as out of character for him. Take "Brother Betrayed" for example: If Sarabi had come from Scar's pride and they grew up together, were friends and betrothed like Simba and Nala were, then it would actually have felt earned. It's in-character for Scar to entertain a one-sided infatuation with Sarabi. Imagine if we saw King Obasi and Queen Eshe take notice of this in a brief scene set immediately before Mufasa and Taka meet? If we saw Taka and Sarabi play as cubs, and Taka gawking/staring longingly at her, and Obasi said: "You are young. Give her time", when it became clear Sarabi did not return his affections beyond friendship. If Scar grew up with the _expectation_ that Sarabi would "come around", (and she unbeknownst to him only _really_ went along with it because it was her duty, THEN chose Mufasa instead? That'd feel *earned*. How long did he know Sarabi for between them meeting and she clicking with Mufasa? A few days? A week? Yelling to the heavens that you "have a brother no longer" simply because crush you just met didn't return your affections is _excessively_ petty, even for Scar. Especially when Mufasa had even gone out of his way to try to help him impress Sarabi beforehand and even lied by attributing his own heroics .- unprompted, I might add - to Scar beforehand. Now, if they just met Sarabi, and we change the story so that they find Melele, and Scar tries to hold a rousing speech to unite the herds in case Kiros and his pride finds them, it is unlikely, because they cleverly hid their tracks, they'll be unlikely to follow them there and most likely will freeze to death on the mountains. But then he falters because the herds starts talking about all the cruelty and might Kiros is notorious for, and questions if Taka plans on fighting Kiros head on if he's wrong, and scoffs at him when he stumbles in his own words trying to give them reassurances he obviously can't account for. Then Mufasa steps in, initially to have his back, and is significantly more inspirational, and the herds listen to _him._ They seem to respect _him._ (This is absent the fact that Taka's speech made lofty promises that Kiros could not possibly find them, so they were safe, and Mufasa stating that he could make no such promises, but he did promise to _keep_ them safe if Kiros _did_ show up. And all Scar could hear throughout Mufasa's whole speech was the echoes of Mufasa and Sarabi's voices: "It's Taka who's destined to become king", "He was destined to save _you_ Mufasa". Mufasa was both chosen by Sarabi and by seems favored to be king by the herds, so he runs off. He does not seek out Kiros - in this version of "Brother Betrayed", it alludes to Mufasa about to take his throne, and that if Mufasa wants Melele - he's welcome to it. Him? Well, he will go back down the mountain alone, reclaim his father's territory and be king over everything the light touches from the top of the shade tree instead. With luck, Kiros and his pride will freeze and starve to death on the mountain and leave him free to start his own pride. But then he falls down the hill, runs into Kiros, and has to improvise. His self-preservation kicks in, and he then assumes the _character_ of this drawling, silver-tongued schemer to talk his way out of being eaten. Then he clearly _reluctantly_ helps Kiros to Melele, and everything transpires like it did, with three changes: 1) When Scar finds his courage, he is more _clearly_ on Mufasa's side. Let his bitterness more easily reasonable (to himself) by making him somebody who did what was easy rather than what was right when talking to Kiros, but screwed his courage to the sticking place and did what was right in helping Mufasa fight Kiros, and clearly never really saw him as an ally. 2) After the dust settles, let Scar sound like he otherwise have done the whole movie. Genuine. He was no longer playing the role to talk his way out of harm when facing Kiros, he was Taka, Mufasa's brother, and genuinely remorseful. 3) Scar's name. Don't hit us with an out of nowhere refusal to use Taka's name on Mufasa's part. It's cheesy. After Mufasa emerges from the water and Kiros is defeated, have a brief heart-to-heart where Scar first apologizes to Mufasa, who on this part forgives him, reminds him of Eshe's words: ("Of course I forgive you. We are family"). The then acknowledges Taka's bravery by gently running his paw over Scar's wound with a smile, and goes: "Come on, then... _Scar_", and have Mufasa nudge him in a playful manner. Let "Scar" be meant as an insult of endearment/badge of honor to acknowledge Scar's bravery in the final fight, with Scar getting quiet and uncomfortable as we see the two meet the rest of the herds and lions/Rafiki together. Open up for the interpretation that while Mufasa meant the nickname as a compliment, Scar took it as a bit of an insult, as it was his betrayal that made fighting Kiros necessary in the first place. Then, let's "Find your place in the Circle of Life" as Mufasa going to ascend the throne. That way, when we see him scowl as Mufasa climb Pride Rock, it's because he now has bitterly had to accept that _his_ place in the Circle of Life is clearly meant to be in Mufasa's shadow, and now he feel like he has been guilt-tripped by his mother's last wish to _stay_ in Mufasa's shadow, and then when this bitterness festers over time, using his appeal to his superior intellect and drawling, bored voice has been such a heavily engrained coping mechanism for having to play second fiddle to Mufasa that the lines between Taka and Scar is completely blurred? Re-release TLK 2019 with new animation to make faces equally expressive as in Mufasa: TLK, and add "The Madness of King Scar" for emphasis. BOOM - better story.
The original remake is a 1:1 copy of original why the f does it have the 2nd box office is what is on my mind when i found that out so i agree that live action is basically horrible because there is no different between original lion king and the lions look like they are made by trash cans instead of walt so why does the remake exist (yes they suck)
The only way I could see this movie as a good thing is if what happens to Taka motivates Kiara standing up to Simba in a revision of TLK2. Could you imagine if Kiara wasn't guided by Mufasa, but by Taka's tragedy? "Why do you defend them? They're just like Scar." "It's because they are that I will defend them. **Simba and Nala look taken aback.** Scar rebelled and killed grandfather because he felt betrayed by those who he felt were his family, just like what you did with them. His hatred lead to his downfall. And it will lead to yours." "But I-" "They lost their home because of you. The life they had, the suffering they have endured. It was because of you. And instead of trying to find peace with them, you carry the same hatred that Scar had within you. It's time to let it go Dad. They cared for Scar the same way me and Mom care for you." "Kiara you don't understand. They-" "Are us Dad. **Simba pauses** You once told me that we are all one. All a part of the circle of life. Them? Us? Look at them. They ARE us. And we are them. If we keep fighting each other, we will all suffer."
Beautifully put sir/ma'am. This proves that simba was more like his uncle. Taka was left behind, all alone. No one cared for him. So he grew sour. In someways scar's anger was justified.
That then ruins the entire point of Kiara's epiphany - that it came from a pure place of love, not from a place of vengeance and justice-seeking. Becomes a constant tit for tat - which was the entire point of LK2, to stop the tit for tat. With Taka as motivation, Kiara just perpetuates it.
they could have made this movie different 1000 ways, and people would still hate it not every person can agree on one thing, but a lot of people DID like this, but it's bad because someone pronounces brother odly? or they go through he story without every detail or gradual change? they change motives quickly for us, but it could be more just that we didn't see because that's a waste of effort for detail you don't really need.
Mufasa is only a cub why would he look for his parents at a young age plus their was a flood so their was a hight change they was not alive and plus I love I always wanted a brother. Plus Scar is miss understood Mufasa was a evil jerk to Taka so them putting that in the movie is a epic idea
Idk, probably because he's a cub and still relies on his parents for food and safety, plus he loves them so taking the chance to meet back up with them is a risk worth taking. Heck, simba ventured into the gorge after the stampede to make sure his dad was okay because he loves him and wouldnt just give up because he's only probably dead.
12:18 Yeah, that’s been 100% deconfirmed. They’re blood brothers in the animated universe. No questions. 12:49 Okay, you seem to be missing part of the message of the movie here. The idea is that leadership isn’t determined by your blood, but by who you are. Mufasa proved himself to be a leader to the others, Scar did not and was always a coward who felt he was owed everything because he was royalty of a kingdom that didn’t even exist anymore. 3:48 I don’t know if I’d say he completely flips, though this is heavily implied otherwise. Really, I just take it as him being extremely grateful that his wife wasn’t killed.
1:47 well for him it wasn’t two minutes it was around 3 days because just before the song when Taka Says “I thought you were fast I had to let you win!” Mufasa replies with “well I did just go days without sleep”
Fun Fact: In the Original from 1994 Scar and Mufasa were originally meant NOT to be brothers, but they changed it because it would be an intersting dynamic or smth.
Scar originally was a rogue lion from a different pride, which would have made a lot more sense, considering 'brother' cubs do go out and make their own prides if they stayed brothers. In the original, they were unrelated.
In all fairness, at the start he traveld across the sea it looksed like, plus he just almost drowned, and hes just a cub he didnt give up, he could just never start to look for them considering he was so tired and so far away😂, Also he even said in the brother song rhat he remembers his mother and hes sad about it, the whole movie is pretty awesome if you ask me, some bits of it are kinda questionable
The Lion King happened, The Lion King 2 happened, yes, I would even acknowledge Lion King 1 1/2 and the Lion Guard - but this??? Nope! Not on my count! Why could they not focus on Kopa ? Or Kion ?
the original animated scar already has a much better origin story in the lion guard. where he was always power hungry before getting attacked by a snake which caused him to have his scar. and he resented for mufasa for YEARS just because mufasa nicknamed him scar (which to be fair, was a reasonable reason to be angry, but not reasonable reason to want to kill him and hold grudge against him for YEARS). the origin story in mufasa applies to the scar from the live action remake, not the animated one. only in the live action continuity of the lion king they were not blood related. not in the animated. the animated one already had an origin story in the lion guard.
Only positive thing about the movie imo was the villain song. But even then only the audio is good, visuals BLOW. I heard someone say the reason why it’s such a playful toon is cause he already knows the other lions have no chance so he’s “playing with his food” which I quite like. I do wish the instruments were a little more intense
I know everyone loves how Maleficent shows the duality and motive of a villainess, giving her character more depth and admiration, but we really don’t need that for all villains. Let Scar be evil without removing established lore for viewers to sympathize. It takes away from him being a good villain, he doesn’t need to be liked.
But to be very and critically honest, I watched the movie, and it was in fact, beautiful. Yes, it may have been unfaithful to the canon story, but it made it even more interesting. I would prefer to just imagine this movie as an alternate universe to the original storyline. Both versions are beautifully made. This movie doesn't deserve this much hate
1 stop roasting movies that are trying to make it look good 2 it makes sense in the other movie why he said well you couldn’t have betrayed me, Mufasa 3 I don’t think it’s bad. I think it’s a good movie.
I haven't seen the full show but The Lion Guard has a song creating a backstory for Scar that gives him reasoning for doing what he did while still keeping him irredeemingly-evil. Essentially, would-be Scar went on patrols around the Pride Lands and one day met a strange lion who promised him power and how the two of them should rule together. Would-be Scar took interest but it turned out to be a trap to lead him near a cave with a snake that bit his face and scarred it. The strange lion offered him a cure for the snake's venom if he did what he said, but would-be Scar instead killed him and the snake in a fit of rage ("Let's see, this guy offered me a cure for snake venom if I help him... NOPE, I'M GONNA KILL HIM RIGHT NOW INSTEAD FOR SCARRING MY FACE!"). Would-be Scar told Mufasa about how he killed this strange lion and expected to be praised far and wide, but Mufasa instead playfully nicknamed him Scar and patted him on the head ("Haha ok 'Scar', thank you for performing your patrols like usual. Good work.") and this made Scar decide to kill him ("Mufasa didn't make sure I received enormous praise for doing the job I always do and killing a single evil lion, MUFASA MUST DIE!") Let that sink in: A Disney Junior show aimed at pre-schoolers decided it was allowed to have an irredeemingly-evil villain and trusted its young viewers to be able to see the nuances that make it clear Scar was not justified in killing Mufasa and was just a petty jerk upset that he didn't get mass praise for his normal job. Compared to this movie (which admittedly I am relying more on word--of-mouth for and voting with my wallet by not seeing it in favor of Sonic 3) banking off the nostalgia of a 30-year old movie and thus adults who saw said movie as a kid deciding Scar needs to not be fully evil and ends up accidentally kinda justifying his actions. Which is bad.
Honestly they could have had worked with scars resentment, scar really doesnt seem upset at all about mufasa being king even though it's his birth right so instead why not play up his parents favoritism, like showing scars mom come to pay more attention to mufasa while not ignoring scar and the same with scars father, who at first doesnt like mufasa but slowly becomes impressed with him and even starts to say you'll make a better king then taka, making taka start to resent mufasa because he wants to he king. This could definitely give taka motivation to trick the white lions and then taka in return betray them to show he is king material, only for it to backfire , there father dies and in his dying breath proclaims mufasa as king, fueling scars jealously even more. We could also seen scar development a chronic illness and it shows why he is weaker then mufasa. I think that would be better then scar hating mufasa over a girl when scar never showed any interest in surabi in the orginal.
I knew it would suck, that's why I refused to watch it. I hated the "live action" remake and I knew Mufasa would be worse. Scar and Mufasa were always supposed to be brothers and that is why in Simba's pride they mention that Kovu isn't scar's son. I mean if Kovu and Kiara were related it would have been disturbing. I hope one day Disney wises up and fixes their mistakes.
What particularly hurts me about bad writing with villains, in particular with trying to make them "sympathetic" is this: Bad writing tends to treat "make this villain sympathetic" as "give the villain a legitimate reason to do what they did" which on its own isn't inherently bad, but the way it's done destroys it. Scar is, from what this video says and what I looked up, supposed to have become the villain we later see because Mufasa "stole his birthright" apparently, and in both the live action and the original movie, he does horrible things to "regain" it. This doesn't work for a number of reasons, but the one that stands out to me is that it in no way _matters_ compared to what Scar _does_ that being killing Mufasa, trying to kill Simba and making him believe that _he killed his own father by accident/was to blame for it_ and runs the Pride Lands into the ground without a care. The motives do not matter compared to the means OR the ends, so to speak. The movie does nothing to EXPLAIN Scar's actions or motivations, it just gives a shallow motive implied or shown, and then leaves with that. You don't need, nor most of the time _should_ justify a villain's motivations or actions, but you should at least _explain them_ beyond the surface level "Scar's doing it for this reason" because it just falls flat otherwise. A single basic bit of information is not enough to carry an entire character. If the movie had established more of Scar's personality and how he either changed, or was always prone to extreme overreaction or greed or something else to show HOW he would become what he was, that would make the movie at least a bit better. Other bad movies do this too. They give a very basic "This is how the villain became who they are" but they have no real _substance_ to it, just giving some degree of motive, that usually doesn't really make sense, but just leave it at that simple starting point without delving into it further or even leaving a deeper implication. Saying, for example, "This villain is doing this because they resent someone" is not the end of their characterization, it's the _beginning_ is my point. Disney isn't doing the work to show us who the villains are as characters, even when they make entire movies about them and it still makes absolutely no sense (cough)Cruella(cough)
I just saw this, and I don't think it's ruined. Yes, Taka's reason why he turns evil is a little on the "eh" side, but a lot of the ideas are good starts and even has a very satisfying ending that makes the journey worth at least a viewing. Nothing can ever destroy the hand-drawn version, I firmly believe that. This was honestly a solid attempt.
He never wanted to stay with the females he had no choice ,The king of pride told him to,what do you expect him to do?,go against the king of course he will be banished from the tribe. 2:30 - he can't go back ,for God's sake he was a cub,also you can see he was in the middle of no where ,if you clearly watched the movie you do know Mufasa doesn't know how to swim ,how do you expect him to go back ? ._.
You're giving current disney too much power. They don't have the ability to destroy the original in any way. They can't change what the original creators made. Scar and mufasa ARE biological brothers. it has already been established in the original, and that's all that matters
And this is I prefer the 90s books version at least in the book has a better explanation why scars like this. What's even worse that lion king fans on TH-cam can make a better prequel then Disney can.
Well, it contradicts the original writing of The Lion King like Mufasa being an orphan and Scar not being blood related to him. Of course there will be critics because the fans want it to be constant with the original writing of The Lion King and live up to the hype in the first place
@janedoe118-k2c Live actions are meant to be different from the original. That's why they are called adaptations. They take pieces from the source materials, not everything but enough to inspire a new fresh take on the characters. It's not supposed to be like the source materials they are supposed to be different and have they're own uniqueness. This and other LK movies are not in the same continuity and they don't have to establish the same rules as the original and other adaptations.
mufasa was violently generic, even the villain is just a big lion with a different color slapped on it, the songs are cringe af and don't have rythmn or variation or creativity like other disney songs, it sounds like an old man trying to speak to teenagers with their vocab, you get the point, and the story is basic af and the character development is insanely fast, it went from lost parents new brother to now brother hates me because of a random girl, ????, and the final battle was just corny and the way the animals spoke was WEIRD AF, i remember explicitly that the giraffe said "we are here because we are worried for your safety mufasa" but then they go "this battle is not our problem!" ???
I like the “lion guard” portrayal of Scar much more. It shows him power hungry before he starts to actually resent Mufasa. I personally like villains with a reason to be a villain, but it doesn’t have to be a whole sob story about why they did what they did, I like more like a tipping point kinda situation. Like scar in the lion guard, he was power hunger from the start, but the deciding factor in him resorting to killing Mufasa was his belittling of him. Or the Evil Queen, she was rotten on the inside, but she didn’t plan on killing snow just because.
The only thing, the Story of mufasa changes is the Story of the Remake (2019), as there Are two different timelines. 1. OG, simbas pride, Lion guard 2. Remake, mufasa So the scar from the original has nothing to do with the Story from the new Movie.
The only part I disagree with u about is the I always wanted a brother to me I think the way they said brother actually sounded fine for the movie it’s not that bad
I watched this video because I personally loved the Mufasa movie and wanted to see where the opposing views were coming from and honestly, I kind of understand. Bye bye was my favorite song in the movie but you shedded light on how lackluster the song was in context of the whole movie. The only “argument” I have here is that Kiros seems like the guy who plays with his prey before killing and this whole childish “bye bye” makes it seem more sinister. All in all, great points, interesting take, though it might not have fully convinced me, it has broadened my view of the movie.
The ending also proves that Mufasa is an idiot because he decided to let Scar stay instead of banishing him after you know trying to get him killed by Kiros.
I disagree with the notion that there wasn't a good way to write a good origin for Scar without ruining his character or making him seem overly sympathic. Firstly, the story should've mainly focused on him and not Mufasa. They also should not have tried to recon their family connections. And to do Scar's story right they would have needed some incredibly clever writing that showcased the gradual descent into evil that we see in the original (kinda like what happened in Joker), but that story would've dark and depressing. Disney didn't want to do that and so did this instead because they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. That's why the movie sucks. Well, there's other reasons too.

I also never saw Moana 2 for the same reason I'm so tired of these Disney sequels and live action prequels etc I miss old Disney when we had Phineas and Ferb Gravity Falls etc Disney is really going down hill hopefully when Phineas and Ferb season 5 comes they could maybe pick themselves back up eventually
It's such a shame, because before the initial trailers came out, I was actually somewhat optimistic for this movie. I wouldn't say "hyped", but I was at least somewhat hopeful they could explore some interesting ideas. Heck, I was actually debating that "maybe if they did this right, I could accept the timeline being Mufasa, Lion King '94, then Simba's Pride" And starting from the initial trailer, it was like seeing a train wreck in slow motion, and the premiere day was the train exploding.
It's a little bit of both but mostly their movies. The only reason I talked about this was because The Lion King's one of my all time favorites and they're butchering it again
Same they butchered my fav the little mermaid for me I was not watching that but to me it adds to salt to the wounds doing that we need to have real villains again but not like this anymore from Disney
Not gonna lie i can see where you come from, but the songs? I really don't care, they were catchy. "Milele" was a nice toon and had really nice visuals.
To be honest, I don’t even mind that they explain why Scar became who he is, because monsters aren’t born, they’re made. However, even though Scar and Mufasa are portrayed as younger in this film, I feel like Mufasa’s personality is still clearly recognizable, whereas Scar’s isn’t. Scar isn’t a fighter, but he’s incredibly clever, strategic, and sarcastic, which adds a layer of humor to his character. His appearance might not seem threatening - the dark mane makes him more intriguing - but through subtle details, you can tell he’s always ready to strike (for instance, he often has his claws out). All of this is completely missing here. Scar feels very much in the background, even though the relationship between the two brothers could have been portrayed so much more intensely. Both of them lost their parents, yet this is never addressed. There isn’t even a single scene showing them grieving their loss. This depth is what I find lacking.
I never thought of scar as a good villain, since it was revealed in the original lion king movie that he was a very incompetent leader and was too prideful to admit his inferiority complex. Scar arranging Mufasa's death didn't seem that well calculated , since the circumstances of him pushing Mufasa off the cliff was due to luck. The fact that Scar needed Simba to orchestrate his brothers death only proved he wasn't cunning enough to kill his brother during the years before Simba's birth. At best, I recognize Scar as just a con man.
Skar has to be in the top ten most evil Disney villains.
He set up his nephew to be killed. When that failed, he does it again, but planning to get his brother killed as well.
After murdering Mufasa in the most sadistic way he could, he tricks Simba into believing he is responsible. Instead of killing Simba, Skar tells the hyenas to do it, so Simba would die thinking Skar was innocent.
Its scar not skar

The original scar’s motivations were literally so perfect and made so much sense. He was just a younger brother who wanted to be king and he killed his brother and got rid of his nephew to make that happen. I will NEVER EVER consider mufasa to be canon. Scar was the perfect villain that did NOT need a backstory

yeah... Hamlet is a solid story. ton of comments acting like the original was also an original story, it wasn't. right down to ghost dad telling us what we need to do with our thus far wasted life.
you can choose not to consider this prequel canon but it makes more sense than any of the naysayers give it credit for. Honestly I think so much hate for Mufasa comes from that token desire to be against something popular or successful. I've seen few reasoned arguments for why it's bad overall. I've seen some good points about stuff that could've been better but I would've accepted them better amongst a reasonable analyzing that admitted a chunk of the story has merit for what it is and was executed decently, again a lot but not ALL of the time.
@@lauras5359 I'd rather consider Toy Story 4 canon than this
Scar didn't even need to stop being Mufasa's brother. What's the issue, two brothers fancying the same girl that neither is related to? Is that actually a bad thing? Is it against the law? Is it considered inbreeding? No, that's actually something that can totally be pulled off and might have actually added something.
Lion guard's backstory is better
The problem isn't that Scar now has reason to hate Mufasa, but that the reason doesn't match the motive nor the drastic actions he takes.
He was so happy to have Mufasa, and even criticized and doubted his father's teachings, and was very protective of Mufasa.
But all it takes is a girl, the ONLY girl around for miles, for him to join the guy who killed his whole family and help them kill both Mufasa AND Sarabi???
It doesn't add up even within its own movie, and adds up even less outside of itself considering that: THERE WERE OTHER LIONESSES, THERE WAS OTHER LAND.
If Mufasa hated being denied his Kinghood, he could have just GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE, the outsiders were wiping out every other pride, there would have been significantly less competition.
Like, who WROTE this movie???

@@brown7180
It's stupid. I'm sure becoming king is a greater motive then crying over Sarabi
This is where I'm at, too. The only reason Scar becomes evil is because Mufasa hooked up with his crush? That is the lamest villain origin story ever.
@@360shadowmoon considering he attacked Sarabi in the original because she compared him to Mufasa, tells me where his priorities are.
Scar being not a real brother of Mufasa sucks. And in the end when mufasa says that My brother can stay but I will not take his name and taka immediately comes up with another cool name which everyone accepts is actually a cruel joke.
Now that I think about it, that’s kind of right.
In the beginning, 1994 version, when Mufasa talks to Scar, he turns his back to Mufasa and Mufasa said, “Don’t turn yoir back on me scar!”, Scar replied: “Oh no Mufasa, perhaps you shouldn’t turn your back on me,” “Is that a challenge?” (mufasa), “Temper, Temper. I wouldn’t dream of challenging you” (Scar), “Pity, Why not?” (Zazu), “Well as far as brains go, I’ve got the lion’s share, but when it comes to brute strength…. I’m afraid I have the shallow end of the gene pool.” And he walks off from Mufasa and Zazu. So either, he said that because he isn’t the one with a pride of his blood anymore, or he said that because he and Mufasa are supposed to be or were supposed to be blood brothers in the original 1994.
I’m confused now 😭
And yes, I know every single lone in The Lion King 1994 version, and I HATE the live action from 2019, except that the hyenas weren’t freaks in 2019 Version.

:But the 1994 lion king was a cartoon, for kids" (How I've hated that sentence my whole life). Cartoon and 2D Animations were always better!
I always hated live action in any movie and show, this is why anime is watched and created with passion by adults. Cartoons are my favorite style to watch anything. CGi is good too at times.
If they had wanted Mufasa and Scar to not be realted by blood why not have Scar been the orphan Cub ? And not Mufasa ?
It would make his actions in the main movie even more devious as he's not just betraying family but a family that took him in .
Coz then scar becomes an empathetic character. The orphan who wanted to be more.
This way at least justified why scar felt he should have been the king.
@rambhaskar6728 they still could have made Scar been an orphan who starts off as sweet but grows bitter as his parents would still love him but send more time with Mufasa in training him to be king which fuels his envy.
In the Comics shown that Scar always resented Mufasa even at a young age why should this be different and their dad in both the comics and the 2019 novelization loved both his sons equaly but preferred Mufasa due to him being more responsible and mature. Mufasa not technically being in the royal blood line ruins the 2019 movie cause with this in context why should Simba go back now? Scar is semi justifed in what he does ( killing is still a no no ) Mufasa trusting Scar makes even less sense now as there not brothers at all.
And it makes Scar's actions seem now less impactful cause he's not betraying family but random lions now as Simbas " My father your own BROTHER how could you " doesn't feel as impactful now.
In fact one idea for the 1994 Was that Scar was going to be a rouge lion but to make it more dramtic they decided to make him part of the family and it works this doesnt.
@@nicholassims9837 Still work but that your opinion and your hate
@@xxxnarurto5747 no im pretty sure it's everyone's opinion
I agree
I much prefer that Scar was mistreated as a child by his parents (hence the scar) because of his sassiness, and loathed his older brother because he was more powerful and probably treated better because he was a quality guy. This gives him motive but doesn't take away from his evilness. Mufasa (the movie) ruins everything we love about The Lion King.
I agree man
Who else noticed
1) The reason Mufasa is a better hunter and overall smarter is because he was raised by lionesses, who are known for being the hunters of their pride.
2) Taka/Scar's voice changed when he made an alliance with Kiros.
I say it and I would do it again:
I don't know where Disney got this story of Scar who loves Sarabi from.
Scar never liked Sarabi, neither in the prototype nor in the final product.
He was originally going to be Zira's companion but was removed so that Kovu and Kiara could date.
Even Worse, Sarabi is the main reason why Scar betrayed his brother rather than power.
Maybe leftovers for the fact in the deleted scenes Scar was trying to marry Nala.
In the 2019 remake, Scar as the new king tried to make Sarabi his queen, posing threats to starve the lions if she did not oblige. From that we can infer that Scar showed interest for her in the past. But I agree that they could have made Taka's fall from grace a little more meaningful rather than a love triangle.
It ruins so much
Wait…. They were actually going to put Zira into the Mufasa movie? 💀

You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Explain to me what wasn’t “canon”. you people throw that word around like hot sauce on taco night.
@@Daniel71912The most egregious thing that breaks the canon is mufasa's lineage. In this movie, he doesnt have a noble ancestry, making "the great kings of the past looking down on you" mean nothing because those arent related to the pridelands or mufasa.
Another thing, the fact him and scar arent brothers also violates what was established in the lion king.
AND scar being an only child also makes his own lore not make sense, because Taka means dirt/filth, not really a name befitting the destined king of your pride. In the original lore, mufasa was scar's elder brother and he got the name Taka because their father didn't expect anything from him. Taka was a problem child in the original canon so he effectively earned his name and his subsequent scar (through a dumb stunt to try and prove himself stronger which backfires).
@@BlazingKhioneus "Taka" also means "to want". Maybe that's what his name symbolized in Mufasa The Lion King, because he very clearly wanted to be king (rightfully so), he also wanted Sarabi's affection, and when she instead chose Mufasa Taka then wanted revenge. From a young age Taka always tried to get what he wanted, through good or bad (eventually just bad).
As for the lineage, I think it was originally implied that Scar and Mufasa were not actually related since that is not really how lion prides work irl. Maybe they were just brother-in-arms or something like that. Though te old comics that show that their father always preferred Mufasa over Taka, the comics aren't really deemed canon by Disney so I never rlly followed them.
@ It's pretty well implied they're blood brothers because that's how regicide works. In real life, lions dont give a toss about protecting anyone but their own, so using the "well in real life" arguement kinda falls apart.

Erasing the bloodlines of Great King Mohatu, his daughter Queen Uru and her King consort Ahadi, and the brothers history of being ACTUAL twin cubs, where one - mufasa was treated as the only true heir, and taka (meaning dirt) was treated like garbage (a spare). And yes, Mufasa stole Taka's love interest of Sarabi - he wasn't interested in her until Taka was.
Mufasa was the Jock Jerk brother who got everything he wanted, and thought he deserved.
Taka was the "disappointment child" the one their father wished they had never had.

Shit movie
No I will never accept this movie as canon.
Me too
My biggest issue with his movie is that Scar is _so_ petty that it comes off as out of character for him. Take "Brother Betrayed" for example: If Sarabi had come from Scar's pride and they grew up together, were friends and betrothed like Simba and Nala were, then it would actually have felt earned. It's in-character for Scar to entertain a one-sided infatuation with Sarabi. Imagine if we saw King Obasi and Queen Eshe take notice of this in a brief scene set immediately before Mufasa and Taka meet? If we saw Taka and Sarabi play as cubs, and Taka gawking/staring longingly at her, and Obasi said: "You are young. Give her time", when it became clear Sarabi did not return his affections beyond friendship. If Scar grew up with the _expectation_ that Sarabi would "come around", (and she unbeknownst to him only _really_ went along with it because it was her duty, THEN chose Mufasa instead? That'd feel *earned*. How long did he know Sarabi for between them meeting and she clicking with Mufasa? A few days? A week? Yelling to the heavens that you "have a brother no longer" simply because crush you just met didn't return your affections is _excessively_ petty, even for Scar. Especially when Mufasa had even gone out of his way to try to help him impress Sarabi beforehand and even lied by attributing his own heroics .- unprompted, I might add - to Scar beforehand.
Now, if they just met Sarabi, and we change the story so that they find Melele, and Scar tries to hold a rousing speech to unite the herds in case Kiros and his pride finds them, it is unlikely, because they cleverly hid their tracks, they'll be unlikely to follow them there and most likely will freeze to death on the mountains. But then he falters because the herds starts talking about all the cruelty and might Kiros is notorious for, and questions if Taka plans on fighting Kiros head on if he's wrong, and scoffs at him when he stumbles in his own words trying to give them reassurances he obviously can't account for. Then Mufasa steps in, initially to have his back, and is significantly more inspirational, and the herds listen to _him._ They seem to respect _him._ (This is absent the fact that Taka's speech made lofty promises that Kiros could not possibly find them, so they were safe, and Mufasa stating that he could make no such promises, but he did promise to _keep_ them safe if Kiros _did_ show up.
And all Scar could hear throughout Mufasa's whole speech was the echoes of Mufasa and Sarabi's voices: "It's Taka who's destined to become king", "He was destined to save _you_ Mufasa". Mufasa was both chosen by Sarabi and by seems favored to be king by the herds, so he runs off. He does not seek out Kiros - in this version of "Brother Betrayed", it alludes to Mufasa about to take his throne, and that if Mufasa wants Melele - he's welcome to it. Him? Well, he will go back down the mountain alone, reclaim his father's territory and be king over everything the light touches from the top of the shade tree instead. With luck, Kiros and his pride will freeze and starve to death on the mountain and leave him free to start his own pride.
But then he falls down the hill, runs into Kiros, and has to improvise. His self-preservation kicks in, and he then assumes the _character_ of this drawling, silver-tongued schemer to talk his way out of being eaten. Then he clearly _reluctantly_ helps Kiros to Melele, and everything transpires like it did, with three changes:
1) When Scar finds his courage, he is more _clearly_ on Mufasa's side. Let his bitterness more easily reasonable (to himself) by making him somebody who did what was easy rather than what was right when talking to Kiros, but screwed his courage to the sticking place and did what was right in helping Mufasa fight Kiros, and clearly never really saw him as an ally.
2) After the dust settles, let Scar sound like he otherwise have done the whole movie. Genuine. He was no longer playing the role to talk his way out of harm when facing Kiros, he was Taka, Mufasa's brother, and genuinely remorseful.
3) Scar's name. Don't hit us with an out of nowhere refusal to use Taka's name on Mufasa's part. It's cheesy. After Mufasa emerges from the water and Kiros is defeated, have a brief heart-to-heart where Scar first apologizes to Mufasa, who on this part forgives him, reminds him of Eshe's words: ("Of course I forgive you. We are family"). The then acknowledges Taka's bravery by gently running his paw over Scar's wound with a smile, and goes: "Come on, then... _Scar_", and have Mufasa nudge him in a playful manner. Let "Scar" be meant as an insult of endearment/badge of honor to acknowledge Scar's bravery in the final fight, with Scar getting quiet and uncomfortable as we see the two meet the rest of the herds and lions/Rafiki together. Open up for the interpretation that while Mufasa meant the nickname as a compliment, Scar took it as a bit of an insult, as it was his betrayal that made fighting Kiros necessary in the first place.
Then, let's "Find your place in the Circle of Life" as Mufasa going to ascend the throne. That way, when we see him scowl as Mufasa climb Pride Rock, it's because he now has bitterly had to accept that _his_ place in the Circle of Life is clearly meant to be in Mufasa's shadow, and now he feel like he has been guilt-tripped by his mother's last wish to _stay_ in Mufasa's shadow, and then when this bitterness festers over time, using his appeal to his superior intellect and drawling, bored voice has been such a heavily engrained coping mechanism for having to play second fiddle to Mufasa that the lines between Taka and Scar is completely blurred? Re-release TLK 2019 with new animation to make faces equally expressive as in Mufasa: TLK, and add "The Madness of King Scar" for emphasis. BOOM - better story.
Modern movies be like:
CGI: 100
Storytelling: 0
The original "live-action" Lion King movie was trash, so I knew this wasn't gonna be any different
The 2019 film was just a remake. At least this was something new, though it could have been so much better imo
You gotta give credit that atleast the characters in Mufasa showed emotions than in the dull remake
I thought it was good
The original remake is a 1:1 copy of original why the f does it have the 2nd box office is what is on my mind when i found that out so i agree that live action is basically horrible because there is no different between original lion king and the lions look like they are made by trash cans instead of walt so why does the remake exist (yes they suck)
@ disney was tryna present the animated classic in a new light, it is likely they didn't plan for it to look lifeless. Mufasa is a big improvement 🔥
The only way I could see this movie as a good thing is if what happens to Taka motivates Kiara standing up to Simba in a revision of TLK2.
Could you imagine if Kiara wasn't guided by Mufasa, but by Taka's tragedy?
"Why do you defend them? They're just like Scar."
"It's because they are that I will defend them. **Simba and Nala look taken aback.** Scar rebelled and killed grandfather because he felt betrayed by those who he felt were his family, just like what you did with them. His hatred lead to his downfall. And it will lead to yours."
"But I-"
"They lost their home because of you. The life they had, the suffering they have endured. It was because of you. And instead of trying to find peace with them, you carry the same hatred that Scar had within you. It's time to let it go Dad. They cared for Scar the same way me and Mom care for you."
"Kiara you don't understand. They-"
"Are us Dad. **Simba pauses** You once told me that we are all one. All a part of the circle of life. Them? Us? Look at them. They ARE us. And we are them. If we keep fighting each other, we will all suffer."
Beautifully put sir/ma'am. This proves that simba was more like his uncle. Taka was left behind, all alone. No one cared for him. So he grew sour. In someways scar's anger was justified.
That then ruins the entire point of Kiara's epiphany - that it came from a pure place of love, not from a place of vengeance and justice-seeking. Becomes a constant tit for tat - which was the entire point of LK2, to stop the tit for tat. With Taka as motivation, Kiara just perpetuates it.
@@AG-sd9lt i don't see how. After seeing what that hated leads to, it motivates her to stop the cycle.
I always wanted a BRUH THAAAAAAAA😂
I like that song 😂
I like that song 😂
Yes TAAAKAA😢
they could have made this movie different 1000 ways, and people would still hate it
not every person can agree on one thing, but a lot of people DID like this, but it's bad because someone pronounces brother odly? or they go through he story without every detail or gradual change? they change motives quickly for us, but it could be more just that we didn't see because that's a waste of effort for detail you don't really need.
Mufasa is only a cub why would he look for his parents at a young age plus their was a flood so their was a hight change they was not alive and plus I love I always wanted a brother. Plus Scar is miss understood Mufasa was a evil jerk to Taka so them putting that in the movie is a epic idea
Idk, probably because he's a cub and still relies on his parents for food and safety, plus he loves them so taking the chance to meet back up with them is a risk worth taking. Heck, simba ventured into the gorge after the stampede to make sure his dad was okay because he loves him and wouldnt just give up because he's only probably dead.
Was MUFASA the one abusing and starving the pride NO he wasn’t scar did that so who’s the evil one here!?
12:18 Yeah, that’s been 100% deconfirmed. They’re blood brothers in the animated universe. No questions.
12:49 Okay, you seem to be missing part of the message of the movie here. The idea is that leadership isn’t determined by your blood, but by who you are. Mufasa proved himself to be a leader to the others, Scar did not and was always a coward who felt he was owed everything because he was royalty of a kingdom that didn’t even exist anymore.
3:48 I don’t know if I’d say he completely flips, though this is heavily implied otherwise. Really, I just take it as him being extremely grateful that his wife wasn’t killed.
Hey atleast it is not as bad as the original live action lion king
also disney isn't gonna do what you wants the songs were fire, maybe u should stop complaining as if they're gonna see it
1:47 well for him it wasn’t two minutes it was around 3 days because just before the song when Taka
Says
“I thought you were fast I had to let you win!”
Mufasa replies with
“well I did just go days without sleep”
Fun Fact: In the Original from 1994 Scar and Mufasa were originally meant NOT to be brothers, but they changed it because it would be an intersting dynamic or smth.
Scar originally was a rogue lion from a different pride, which would have made a lot more sense, considering 'brother' cubs do go out and make their own prides if they stayed brothers. In the original, they were unrelated.
can yall do a vid on why ur channel is a failure
I miss when voice actors were hired for their voice acting.
I don’t count the live action prequel as canon to the original animation and neither should you
Mufasa isn't Canon; Mufasa and Scar ARE brothers
In all fairness, at the start he traveld across the sea it looksed like, plus he just almost drowned, and hes just a cub he didnt give up, he could just never start to look for them considering he was so tired and so far away😂, Also he even said in the brother song rhat he remembers his mother and hes sad about it, the whole movie is pretty awesome if you ask me, some bits of it are kinda questionable
I don't think it deserves the hate, I absolutely loved it
I didn’t even know that this movie was a thing 😂
The Lion King happened, The Lion King 2 happened, yes, I would even acknowledge Lion King 1 1/2 and the Lion Guard - but this???
Nope! Not on my count! Why could they not focus on Kopa ? Or Kion ?
Disney "oh shit we messed up.... lets do it again"
the original animated scar already has a much better origin story in the lion guard. where he was always power hungry before getting attacked by a snake which caused him to have his scar. and he resented for mufasa for YEARS just because mufasa nicknamed him scar (which to be fair, was a reasonable reason to be angry, but not reasonable reason to want to kill him and hold grudge against him for YEARS).
the origin story in mufasa applies to the scar from the live action remake, not the animated one. only in the live action continuity of the lion king they were not blood related. not in the animated. the animated one already had an origin story in the lion guard.
Only positive thing about the movie imo was the villain song. But even then only the audio is good, visuals BLOW. I heard someone say the reason why it’s such a playful toon is cause he already knows the other lions have no chance so he’s “playing with his food” which I quite like. I do wish the instruments were a little more intense
I know everyone loves how Maleficent shows the duality and motive of a villainess, giving her character more depth and admiration, but we really don’t need that for all villains. Let Scar be evil without removing established lore for viewers to sympathize. It takes away from him being a good villain, he doesn’t need to be liked.
But to be very and critically honest, I watched the movie, and it was in fact, beautiful. Yes, it may have been unfaithful to the canon story, but it made it even more interesting. I would prefer to just imagine this movie as an alternate universe to the original storyline. Both versions are beautifully made. This movie doesn't deserve this much hate
1 stop roasting movies that are trying to make it look good
2 it makes sense in the other movie why he said well you couldn’t have betrayed me, Mufasa
3 I don’t think it’s bad. I think it’s a good movie.
Did we watch the same movie!??
I haven't seen the full show but The Lion Guard has a song creating a backstory for Scar that gives him reasoning for doing what he did while still keeping him irredeemingly-evil.
Essentially, would-be Scar went on patrols around the Pride Lands and one day met a strange lion who promised him power and how the two of them should rule together. Would-be Scar took interest but it turned out to be a trap to lead him near a cave with a snake that bit his face and scarred it. The strange lion offered him a cure for the snake's venom if he did what he said, but would-be Scar instead killed him and the snake in a fit of rage ("Let's see, this guy offered me a cure for snake venom if I help him... NOPE, I'M GONNA KILL HIM RIGHT NOW INSTEAD FOR SCARRING MY FACE!"). Would-be Scar told Mufasa about how he killed this strange lion and expected to be praised far and wide, but Mufasa instead playfully nicknamed him Scar and patted him on the head ("Haha ok 'Scar', thank you for performing your patrols like usual. Good work.") and this made Scar decide to kill him ("Mufasa didn't make sure I received enormous praise for doing the job I always do and killing a single evil lion, MUFASA MUST DIE!")
Let that sink in: A Disney Junior show aimed at pre-schoolers decided it was allowed to have an irredeemingly-evil villain and trusted its young viewers to be able to see the nuances that make it clear Scar was not justified in killing Mufasa and was just a petty jerk upset that he didn't get mass praise for his normal job. Compared to this movie (which admittedly I am relying more on word--of-mouth for and voting with my wallet by not seeing it in favor of Sonic 3) banking off the nostalgia of a 30-year old movie and thus adults who saw said movie as a kid deciding Scar needs to not be fully evil and ends up accidentally kinda justifying his actions. Which is bad.
I see what you mean but bye bye slaps as a song be real
I don't care what anyone says, I refuse to believe or even think of this as canon
Honestly they could have had worked with scars resentment, scar really doesnt seem upset at all about mufasa being king even though it's his birth right so instead why not play up his parents favoritism, like showing scars mom come to pay more attention to mufasa while not ignoring scar and the same with scars father, who at first doesnt like mufasa but slowly becomes impressed with him and even starts to say you'll make a better king then taka, making taka start to resent mufasa because he wants to he king. This could definitely give taka motivation to trick the white lions and then taka in return betray them to show he is king material, only for it to backfire , there father dies and in his dying breath proclaims mufasa as king, fueling scars jealously even more. We could also seen scar development a chronic illness and it shows why he is weaker then mufasa. I think that would be better then scar hating mufasa over a girl when scar never showed any interest in surabi in the orginal.
Why the heck are they retconning Mufasa and Scar's relationship as brothers?
I knew it would suck, that's why I refused to watch it. I hated the "live action" remake and I knew Mufasa would be worse. Scar and Mufasa were always supposed to be brothers and that is why in Simba's pride they mention that Kovu isn't scar's son. I mean if Kovu and Kiara were related it would have been disturbing. I hope one day Disney wises up and fixes their mistakes.
What particularly hurts me about bad writing with villains, in particular with trying to make them "sympathetic" is this:
Bad writing tends to treat "make this villain sympathetic" as "give the villain a legitimate reason to do what they did" which on its own isn't inherently bad, but the way it's done destroys it.
Scar is, from what this video says and what I looked up, supposed to have become the villain we later see because Mufasa "stole his birthright" apparently, and in both the live action and the original movie, he does horrible things to "regain" it.
This doesn't work for a number of reasons, but the one that stands out to me is that it in no way _matters_ compared to what Scar _does_ that being killing Mufasa, trying to kill Simba and making him believe that _he killed his own father by accident/was to blame for it_ and runs the Pride Lands into the ground without a care. The motives do not matter compared to the means OR the ends, so to speak. The movie does nothing to EXPLAIN Scar's actions or motivations, it just gives a shallow motive implied or shown, and then leaves with that. You don't need, nor most of the time _should_ justify a villain's motivations or actions, but you should at least _explain them_ beyond the surface level "Scar's doing it for this reason" because it just falls flat otherwise. A single basic bit of information is not enough to carry an entire character. If the movie had established more of Scar's personality and how he either changed, or was always prone to extreme overreaction or greed or something else to show HOW he would become what he was, that would make the movie at least a bit better.
Other bad movies do this too. They give a very basic "This is how the villain became who they are" but they have no real _substance_ to it, just giving some degree of motive, that usually doesn't really make sense, but just leave it at that simple starting point without delving into it further or even leaving a deeper implication.
Saying, for example, "This villain is doing this because they resent someone" is not the end of their characterization, it's the _beginning_ is my point. Disney isn't doing the work to show us who the villains are as characters, even when they make entire movies about them and it still makes absolutely no sense (cough)Cruella(cough)
I’m disappointed by how they ruined the beloved franchise 😭🤬💔
I just saw this, and I don't think it's ruined. Yes, Taka's reason why he turns evil is a little on the "eh" side, but a lot of the ideas are good starts and even has a very satisfying ending that makes the journey worth at least a viewing. Nothing can ever destroy the hand-drawn version, I firmly believe that. This was honestly a solid attempt.
@@thebluedanyube62 The eh side? You clearly need to watch Legend Of the guardians, Taka become evil because everyone like Taka
@@thebluedanyube62 This is the best comment in this video I had the exact same words. Bless you man🙏

He never wanted to stay with the females he had no choice ,The king of pride told him to,what do you expect him to do?,go against the king of course he will be banished from the tribe.
2:30 - he can't go back ,for God's sake he was a cub,also you can see he was in the middle of no where ,if you clearly watched the movie you do know Mufasa doesn't know how to swim ,how do you expect him to go back ?

You're giving current disney too much power. They don't have the ability to destroy the original in any way. They can't change what the original creators made. Scar and mufasa ARE biological brothers. it has already been established in the original, and that's all that matters
I hope the reason they made them not related is so Kovu can be Scars actual son
That's... actually pretty smart.

Dude no female wanted to be with him!
@@FantasticFawnleapI think that was Nuka.
At least this movie is a prequel to The live-action remake and not the original film. So it doesn't really ruin that film for me.
I loved the movie. Better than the first Lion King remake.
And this is I prefer the 90s books version at least in the book has a better explanation why scars like this. What's even worse that lion king fans on TH-cam can make a better prequel then Disney can.
I don't know why everyone hating on it I watched all the movies and is my favorite series I personally liked it
me to their all straight up peak
Well, it contradicts the original writing of The Lion King like Mufasa being an orphan and Scar not being blood related to him. Of course there will be critics because the fans want it to be constant with the original writing of The Lion King and live up to the hype in the first place
Me too
@janedoe118-k2c Live actions are meant to be different from the original. That's why they are called adaptations. They take pieces from the source materials, not everything but enough to inspire a new fresh take on the characters. It's not supposed to be like the source materials they are supposed to be different and have they're own uniqueness. This and other LK movies are not in the same continuity and they don't have to establish the same rules as the original and other adaptations.
@@janedoe118-k2c Isn't the book considered to be noncanon?
Im glad you mentioned the environment because the live action needed a colorful backgroumd especially during the songs.
How is Mufasa affecting the story of the original movie if its a prequel to the Remake that is different from the original?
mufasa was violently generic, even the villain is just a big lion with a different color slapped on it, the songs are cringe af and don't have rythmn or variation or creativity like other disney songs, it sounds like an old man trying to speak to teenagers with their vocab, you get the point, and the story is basic af and the character development is insanely fast, it went from lost parents new brother to now brother hates me because of a random girl, ????, and the final battle was just corny and the way the animals spoke was WEIRD AF, i remember explicitly that the giraffe said "we are here because we are worried for your safety mufasa" but then they go "this battle is not our problem!" ???
12:30 scar didn’t hold back
I like the “lion guard” portrayal of Scar much more. It shows him power hungry before he starts to actually resent Mufasa. I personally like villains with a reason to be a villain, but it doesn’t have to be a whole sob story about why they did what they did, I like more like a tipping point kinda situation. Like scar in the lion guard, he was power hunger from the start, but the deciding factor in him resorting to killing Mufasa was his belittling of him. Or the Evil Queen, she was rotten on the inside, but she didn’t plan on killing snow just because.
Yep.
The music was cool. Not the same as the 1994 though
The only thing, the Story of mufasa changes is the Story of the Remake (2019), as there Are two different timelines.
1. OG, simbas pride, Lion guard
2. Remake, mufasa
So the scar from the original has nothing to do with the Story from the new Movie.
The only part I disagree with u about is the I always wanted a brother to me I think the way they said brother actually sounded fine for the movie it’s not that bad
It's like people working at Disney hated the company and are destroying it from within
The fact that people really thought that they were actually brothers when they look totally different😂😂
Fair point
I watched this video because I personally loved the Mufasa movie and wanted to see where the opposing views were coming from and honestly, I kind of understand.
Bye bye was my favorite song in the movie but you shedded light on how lackluster the song was in context of the whole movie. The only “argument” I have here is that Kiros seems like the guy who plays with his prey before killing and this whole childish “bye bye” makes it seem more sinister.
All in all, great points, interesting take, though it might not have fully convinced me, it has broadened my view of the movie.
I actually loved this movie
Me too!!!!
The ending also proves that Mufasa is an idiot because he decided to let Scar stay instead of banishing him after you know trying to get him killed by Kiros.
Your biggest is mistake that you watched this movie instead of Sonic 3 or Nosfertau 😭😭😭
I disagree with the notion that there wasn't a good way to write a good origin for Scar without ruining his character or making him seem overly sympathic. Firstly, the story should've mainly focused on him and not Mufasa. They also should not have tried to recon their family connections. And to do Scar's story right they would have needed some incredibly clever writing that showcased the gradual descent into evil that we see in the original (kinda like what happened in Joker), but that story would've dark and depressing. Disney didn't want to do that and so did this instead because they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. That's why the movie sucks. Well, there's other reasons too.
It was ok in my opinion, but everything looked dull

I also never saw Moana 2 for the same reason I'm so tired of these Disney sequels and live action prequels etc I miss old Disney when we had Phineas and Ferb Gravity Falls etc Disney is really going down hill hopefully when Phineas and Ferb season 5 comes they could maybe pick themselves back up eventually
Gammy bears, Miles from tomorrow, Jake and the Neverland pirates, Petter pan ❤❤❤
It's such a shame, because before the initial trailers came out, I was actually somewhat optimistic for this movie. I wouldn't say "hyped", but I was at least somewhat hopeful they could explore some interesting ideas. Heck, I was actually debating that "maybe if they did this right, I could accept the timeline being Mufasa, Lion King '94, then Simba's Pride"
And starting from the initial trailer, it was like seeing a train wreck in slow motion, and the premiere day was the train exploding.
Are you done with Disney as a whole or just there movies meaning tv shows are still fine ?
It's a little bit of both but mostly their movies.
The only reason I talked about this was because The Lion King's one of my all time favorites and they're butchering it again
@michaelthecinebro so what's your thoughts on the recent Disney television animated shows ?
@michaelthecinebro btw to me the best prequel is Monster's University
@@nicholassims9837 So is the Mufasa
Same they butchered my fav the little mermaid for me I was not watching that but to me it adds to salt to the wounds doing that we need to have real villains again but not like this anymore from Disney
Not gonna lie i can see where you come from, but the songs? I really don't care, they were catchy. "Milele" was a nice toon and had really nice visuals.
Ok I agree with most except the songs they were the only thing keeping it going for me
To be honest, I don’t even mind that they explain why Scar became who he is, because monsters aren’t born, they’re made. However, even though Scar and Mufasa are portrayed as younger in this film, I feel like Mufasa’s personality is still clearly recognizable, whereas Scar’s isn’t. Scar isn’t a fighter, but he’s incredibly clever, strategic, and sarcastic, which adds a layer of humor to his character. His appearance might not seem threatening - the dark mane makes him more intriguing - but through subtle details, you can tell he’s always ready to strike (for instance, he often has his claws out). All of this is completely missing here.
Scar feels very much in the background, even though the relationship between the two brothers could have been portrayed so much more intensely. Both of them lost their parents, yet this is never addressed. There isn’t even a single scene showing them grieving their loss. This depth is what I find lacking.
Bro yall gon get brainwashed by this guys review he just chatting 😂😂😂😂😂
true!!!!!!
I never thought of scar as a good villain, since it was revealed in the original lion king movie that he was a very incompetent leader and was too prideful to admit his inferiority complex.
Scar arranging Mufasa's death didn't seem that well calculated , since the circumstances of him pushing Mufasa off the cliff was due to luck. The fact that Scar needed Simba to orchestrate his brothers death only proved he wasn't cunning enough to kill his brother during the years before Simba's birth.
At best, I recognize Scar as just a con man.
