I think it could have worked better if Mufasa was fully accepted into his new pride and got all the praise, making Taka feel like his family loves a stranger more than him. That would cause resentment from the beginning of their brotherhood, and be way more convincing than yet another love triangle. Also, I don't see why Kiros wants to kill literally all of the other lions, let alone how he managed to do it (except for the remaining ones in Milele). Like, he wants to be king, sure, but why not just kill the other kings and take over their prides, so he can grow his army?
Rafiki didn't tell the story not to Simba's son, but to his daughter, Kiara, instead. Althought I would have preferred that Kopa would have appeared instead of Kiara.
I think the film makers intended to keep the story simple so that kids can follow. I personally felt that some places actually had room to go deep. I don't agree with the plot of betraying brother who's been together for so many years just for a girl known for a week. The intensity of scar's character in previous film and his evil strategies was 🔥. But in this film they showed him like a stupid. Takka never wished for the throne and his character throughout was so innocent and lovable, then how did scar got so much hate, evil and greed towards mufasa?
I agree with your comment but "keeping the story simple for kids" part.. A great story is one that anyone can follow without hesitation, regardless of who is watching. Take a quick look at some classic Disney movies like Ratatouille or Monsters University. At first glance, they are easy to follow and enjoyable for both kids and adults. However, when you rewatch them later, you realize there’s a deeper meaning to the story, even though the plot remains simple to follow. I really appreciate your comment! thanks for sharing your opinion
The villian has to make sense. Mufasa never betrayed Scar. Sarabi didn't like Scar, she liked Mufasa. That is not a conflict. The betrayed did not make sense so the entire story is weak.
yea, Takas villain origin story really sucks.. especially since he tried to kill a kid and his brother in the actual 'Lion king'... his story would need to be way more tragic for him to completely go off the deep end like that.
I agree completely with you. The reasons why they showed don't justify his evilness. Unfortunately it is what it is.. hopefully they don't make the same mistake in future prequels!
I mean, just imagine you're a prince, fed the thought that you're destined for the throne. And you fall in love with a woman, and your brother who's the closest to you, steals both the throne and the woman you love especially after you said you love her...and then get caught while trying to betray your brother and given bare minimum to eat for the rest of your life... honestly it's justified, mufasa stole his reason for living (the throne) and his first love (sarabi) so it's only natural scar will try to overthrow mufasa to get his destiny and woman
Or less tragic since Scar was one of Disney's most evil villains who enjoys his wicked deeds with pleasure and zero remorse, especially killing Mufasa so having the origin story be less tragic would help solve the problem since that6 doesn't suit him. Good thing The Lion Guard backstory doesn't feature tragic or sympathetic in it.
@@doomslayer5330 they only knew the girl for like a day though, and yet he decided to betray his brother who he literally grew up with, over a girl they knew for one day... Which is another reason I think the movie 'Mufasa' did a terrible job, because they made Taka seem like he doesn't care about the throne at all, but in 'The lion king' he doesn't care about girls at all. The character development in Taka makes no sense.
I would not care if it was focused on Mufasa or scar just as long as it was the backstory of both of them. Maybe they could have called it Mufasa and Scar the lion king. As long as both of them were in it I didn't care who it focused on. I think they had an equal share of screen time except Mufasa had a little bit more towards the beginning. In the middle of the pond. There's not much to see on scar side other than him being born and waiting to get a brother. At least I'm Mufasa side his parents died or got washed away in a flood and Mufasa got separated which is more action packed than watching scar just get bored and waiting to find a brother. Mufasa but as I said. I always wanted to know what happened in between the two brothers. It doesn't matter who the movie focused on. It was going to tell us how scared evil regardless. It was good except I was expecting a Mufasa and Scar fight at the end. I enjoyed the movie and left speechless.
The movie is not trash I’m standing with the idea that it could be better. They could create an interesting background of Scar’s past from scratch because we didn’t really now much. Saying that “there is not much to say” it doesn’t make sense due to they could have created something completely unexpected. (A clear example is Better Call Saul, they created a whole new story based on some characters and events that happened in the original show Breaking Bad) and I think they could’ve done something similar in this situation and they just wasted that chance.. However, I like the risky idea of Scar and Mufasa weren’t real brothers but the execution was disappointing and you can see with Scar’s motivations and regrets about his decision, everything happened really quick
OK, first of all, I don’t care what you haters say. Y'all can say whatever y’all want. The movie is iconic and you guys are mad because the movie is dope. my favorite song is I always wanted a brother. The only thing I wish is that it was longer.
I respect your opinion and it's fine if you like the movie but it doesn't mean that Disney wasted a good opportunity to make a masterpiece with Scar's backstory
I don't care you or any other hater says. I loved this movie. I loved it so much I watched it three more times. We all know what happened. We wanted to know how it happened. Did you even watch the movie or are you just getting all this footage from trailers. Go watch it instead of talking shit about it. Professional critics gave it 4 stars. You are not a professional critic so please stop manipulating people not to go watch it because of you don't like it.
Dude you can cry as much as you want but that doesn't change the fact they wasted a good opportunity to build something better with Scar's past. Also professional critics give this movie less than 60% of acceptance and I gave my opinion as someone whom studied cinema saying that Scar's motivations are not clear and they are quite vague.. Next time watch the video with the monitor on
Is not about hating on the movie, it's about the movie disrespecting the original animation movies, the fact that the live version is saying that Mufasa and Scar aren't actual brothers go against the whole plot of the first movie, when the actual fact is that they are brothers and there's a whole truth origin story to Mufasa and Scar that was in a animation show, Because of this live version now for the people who don't know the truth storyline of Mufasa and Scar are now getting confused when someone tells them all about the animation show of Mufasa and Scar real background storyline, It's not about people hating on a live version it's about why the hell have they changed what made Lion king's story so much beloved and learning what the storyline was all about with Scar trying to kill his brother and his Nephew Simba only for now that the live version is saying that the animation movies are wrong because they not actual brothers, it makes the point of the original not making sense if your going off from the live version, That's like Disney wanting to change star wars where Luke and Vader aren't really father and son, because Luke is adopted, it dosen't make sense dose it? 🙄 The story was already made for them, why change it, am sorry but the live version are always going to be trash no matter what, which is a shame because I did like the idea of the live versions but they changed what made the storyline that it was!!!
I really appreciate your comment bro! I didn’t know there is a animated show about Scar and Mufasa’s backstory, i will take a look bth To be fare this life action was better than the last one but it could have been better :)

Because of this live version now for the people who don't know the truth storyline of Mufasa and Scar are now getting confused when someone tells them all about the animation show of Mufasa and Scar real background storyline,
It's not about people hating on a live version it's about why the hell have they changed what made Lion king's story so much beloved and learning what the storyline was all about with Scar trying to kill his brother and his Nephew Simba only for now that the live version is saying that the animation movies are wrong because they not actual brothers, it makes the point of the original not making sense if your going off from the live version,
That's like Disney wanting to change star wars where Luke and Vader aren't really father and son, because Luke is adopted, it dosen't make sense dose it? 🙄
The story was already made for them, why change it, am sorry but the live version are always going to be trash no matter what, which is a shame because I did like the idea of the live versions but they changed what made the storyline that it was!!!
