Yeah, me too. In the same year we are getting another "heroes and villains were like brothers" movie - Transformers One. Not to mention the quote "We were brothers once... once" was from Transformers franchise (The last knight) !!
I know a lot of people are speculating that mufasa takes taka's rightful place as king but my theory is that on mufasa's journey he gets all the lion prides together to fight the white lions and then becomes king of that combined pride. But i guess we'll see what happens
Yeah I think this will basically be that a king isn't born a king they have to do something to earn it like Simba did. And here we see his father did too.
I thought that too! Which is also kind of a parallel to Scar who, in a way *fought* for the throne. Or atleast was willing to fight for the position (Scheme and steal is more like it) This film is likely Mufasa's own coming-of-age story of how he courageously earned the title. Maybe perhaps Mufasa and Scar both founded pride rock.
@@TheChicken7576 thats a good point from the way the words are said in the trailer there isn't a united pride but a bunch of small ones. This white lion plans to force one lion king to rule all tribes but Mufasa by uniting them to not rule them but save them may earn all the respect and they agree to let him be the one true king while Taka could feel like his whole place in this adventure wasn't properly recognized
I think so it might go that way or I think Scar may side with the white lions to save his own hide ad he doesn't want to be killed and go against mufasa in a show down...looks so interesting!
I found the 2019 Lion King Remake to be okay like a 6/10. But this has me one has me a lot more excited: - 1) Its an original story 2) The lions have more emotions 3) Kiros, the white lion villain looks freaking cool. 4) The CGI of the scenery looks incredible. But also some concerns: - 1) The voices do feel a bit off. 2) Taka is portrayed very light hearted and goofy so I hope they are able to make his fall from grace be more gradual and heart-breaking.
@@AnujChatterjee-q5b I Love Mufasa He’s My Favourite Character Including Scar I Think Mufasa And Scar Are Adopted Brothers In Lion King: 6 New Adventures A Story Book Series A Tale Of 2 Brothers Their Father Ahadi But Mufasa Has Another Father His Name Is Masego, who is Mufasa's biological father And Now He’s Got Another Adopted Father His Name is Obasi He Used To Be Scar’s Father he said (mocking Obasi) Taka Is Future King I Don’t Know If He’s Joking Or Not It’s Kind A Confusing To People They Don’t Know About Mufasa Has 3 Fathers I Don’t Know What’s Bloodline I didn’t know that Mufasa and scar are adopted brothers is kind of confusing to people I don’t know they’re actually Adopted brothers people always talking about their bothers people always reviewing this movie forever I’m super excited to see this movie this movie will be out about somewhere in December near Christmastime this movie will be about a few months ahead it will be soon anyway I love this movie. I really do. I don’t know when it’s coming out summer December. it will come few months ahead. Why is it a year? All movies are coming out this year. Including this movie too It will be come out about three months ahead. It’s only a few months ahead it will come out around this December
As a massive fan of the lion king I’m cautiously optimistic but am excited to finally see the lion king get a new story for the first time in almost ten years (if the lion guard counts)
@@Kittenmax15Me too! I didn't grow up on it, I found it when I was maybe ten, I just found some sort of charm in it that makes me like it, especially some of the songs and like all of season 3, even though I know for the most part it's pretty stupid and meant for kindergarteners. Just a little guilty pleasure of mine lol
I am a huge zoology nerd, so one thing I liked about live action Jungle book and Lion king were the more obscure animals featured. Stuff like elephant shrew, bat eared fox and european roller. I hope there are more of these little gems hidden in this movie.
1:48. To turn this to an argument, in the first trailer, Rafiki describes Mufasa as "without a drop of nobility in his blood." We also see in the poster for the movie that Mufasa is an orphan, an outsider and a king. Your argument can make sense if Mufasa and Taka are from different bloodlines which you are saying here so this comment doesn't make sense. Maybe the lion being described as "without a drop of nobility in his blood," is Kiros who leads the white lions. That's the only way this whole thing can make sense
Honestly, the idea of Mufasa being adopted, becoming king instead of Scar despite Scar being the natural heir, and then Mufasa having a son to be the next heir before Scar would make Scar's excessive bitterness towards Mufasa make sense. If Mufasa wasn't adopted, I think Scar would've been okay with the idea of Mufasa being King before him as well as having an heir.
The only issue with the 2019 version is that it’s retelling a story that’s been told before and the photo realistic animals weren’t expressive enough, those things seem to have been fixed in Mufusa so I’m fairly optimistic about it and so far it’s looks like it’s going to be pretty good.
This is how i see the movie 1. kyros and the white lion pride go around userping prides to become this sort of totalitarian leader over the pridelands 2. he does this to mufasa pride hence hem being thrown into a river and drifting off miles away 3. taka finds him and takes him to his pride where the grow up together 4. kryros eventually finds this pride years later and he takes it down too 5. taka and mufasa flee to the mountains where they find sarabi's tribe 6. taka wants the stay and keep running mufasa wants to fight 7. a love triangle (more of a line) forms between the brothers and sarabi. taka likes sarabi and sarabi likes mufasa 8. using the forces of sarabis tribe theres a final battle between our heros and the white lions 9. taka saves mufasa from kyros during the fight and earns his famous scar. 10. mufasa takes kyros down and is crowned a hero 11. he become king of the now unifed pridelands 12. he marries sarabi and gets all the honor and reconition from the war 13. taka gets nothing for his bravery besides a nickname mocking his injury and (greatest insecurity) even though he has royal blood and mufasa doesn't. 14. this starts takas fall from grace
Thing is both mufasa and Scar are not from pride lands mufasa home is lost after a big water flod then he is find by taka and adopted into his pride. Kiros apiers kills Taka parents then mufasa and taka run they meet sarabi,rafiki,zazu on the way eventualy they find the pride lands . And yess i do belive final batlle is in the pride lands .
@@solidsnake8331 His true name's canonically been Taka for years now. I think it was mentioned in The Lion Guard, but it originally comes from a book that takes place before the og movie.
Honestly most people don't know anything about Kimba so this is a fun hint to the small percent of people that do think that and yeah the lions will likely die
I think you're right about Taka/Scar losing his family and title, and Mufasa somehow getting back his, and that will cause Taka to attack Mufasa, and Mufasa will be the one who gives him his Scar and nickname, but also spares Scar's life because "he's his brother." There is a part from the 1st New Lion King movie where Scar says he'd "Never challenge Mufasa AGAIN." I think this possible fight is what he means. Just a thought!
Even if one wants to resist, the trailer looks epic. Well, that's not what I imagined Mufasa's origin story would be like (but it's only in his live-action version), I'll have to wait and see, although it will be great to see how he meets his allies: Rafiki, Zazu and Sarabi. Another thing they did choose a good actor for the voice of Mufasa young adult, he sounded good like James Earl Jones. See more landscapes is awesome, even though as far as I believed, I thought Mufasa never left PrideLands, and seeing Scar being lighthearted and goofy, a bit doesn't fit or convince me, I hope it explains how he fell into the darkness and his breakup with Mufasa, if it was like that. I guess it's too late to ask them to rewrite something 1:50 I hope the movie explains this line 2:35 come on, I do expect see scenes in the present *Something I think is that in Lion King 2, before meeting Kovu, Kiara still didn't know anything about her grandfather Mufasa and the whole story, also about her dad, she was still little.
Kinda sad that they’re copying the crocodile part from the second movie, where kovu and kiara have a storyline, and aren’t coming up with something totally new..
one set piece isn't quite the same thing as not having something new especially since we see locations here that we never saw in lion king movies like a snowt mountain
@BAdtnl They don't copy anything, it's savannah. In the savanna, there are rivers of crocodiles. Lions often face crocodiles. At first they enter the water to cross the river, then they come face to face with the crocodiles, they panic, they try to escape from the jaws of the crocodiles and an epic battle ensues. Watch documentaries and short videos on TH-cam. No copy at all. And if Disney wants to, it can keep putting in crocodile ponds. Also, maybe in other movies with savannahs and lions they use the same setting in their way because it's savannah. An author writing about lions may use the same setting as his own battle performance. Canyons, lakes, acacias, rocks, African animals, these can all be used by anyone doing an animal and savannah themed project. If someone writes in his novel that Tsamudi the Lion climbed a canyon and his son helped him to the top, it does not mean he copied Scar and Mufasa.
FUN FACT: Kovu is a swahili word for scar just as simba is for lion and rafiki for friend. The whole lion king sets on the serengeti national park of my country Tanzania. And I doubt Disney ever acknowledged it😭😭
When this trailer featuring Kiros and his pride of white lion, I was shocked because I remember the original The Lion King film in 1994 have a certain elements of the film were thought to bear and a claims of resemblance to Osamu Tezuka's 1960s Japanese anime television series titled Kimba the White Lion, with some similarities between a number of characters and various individual scenes
I've Always Loved Scar And I've Always Known His Backstory Is Heartbreaking, Amongst Many Other Scar Fans..It'll Be Nice To See What Really Happened Instead Of A Million Different Versions, And To Be Honest I'm Not Surprised There Not Blood Brothers..Poor Taka, We'll Finally Get To See Why He's The Villian..🥺🥺🥰🥰
Mufasa got swept down river at the beginning, meaning he was lost, his pride is probably at Priderock.. or somewhere else. Taka's (Scars) family is living by a Giant Tree, which I'm thinking it's the Tree of Life from Kion: The Lion Guard, where scar gets the roar power from the ancestors. Mufasa takes over as the one and only king after defeating the white lions.
I absolutely loved the 2019 movie, because it was beautiful and the emoting didn’t bother me as much as it did everyone else-I usually watch things like Savage Kingdom, so the movie felt at home with me. They looked like real lions and I loved that. And now Disney’s making a remake prequel with its own story? Phenomenal! I just hope it isn’t met with the same level of hate that the first one did, because it kind of ruins the whimsy that the movies have. Also that it beats Wish. That’s our standard for bad movies now 😂
Yeah people always whine and complain about live action remakes and that Disney doesn't make anything original but whenever they do people call it woke, dead on arrival, cried about two women kissing in a second and they don't show support whatsoever
@@sunnflare They didn't support Wish, they didn't support Strange World because of a gay protagonist, and they didn't support Light-Year because of two women kissing for a fucking second which is why these films flop and didn't get a sequel green lit despite how good it is. If they want to support Disney then they have to show support to their new and original movies if they then they will circle back to making live action remakes and sequels to original movies
@@yay29823 Because it's a new and original movie that gave us the original of the magic mirror on the in Snow White and Shrek plus the introduction of the first Fairy Godmother
I think the family of taka isnt living at the pride rock. Takas pride is from somewhere else. So Taka isnt the rightful king of pride rock. And the white lions destroyed his original pride. Then taka and mufasa found the pride rock and maybe thats the original home of Mufasa which they wanted to find again after Takas home was taken over
I have a theory, and its outlandish at best, but it would make for a great plotline. I think Taka (Scar) and Mufasa were in a sort of switched at birth situation because of the color pallet. Mufasa is more of a yellow orange like the Pride landers while Taka is more on the white side like the Outsiders. So it'll come down to that smell of home that Mufasa is chasing being his birth family and rightful place as the next king. Meanwhile, Taka will slowly start feeling 1. pushed into the shadow by his adoptive brother and 2. also start to realize the he was born an Outsider and switched at birth. A mix of these 2 things and the fact that if Mufasa hadn't shown up, the throne would've been his. This'll turn him into the Scar we all remember and on course to the events of the first Lion King movie. I want other opinions on this
I'm excited for this movie! It's a story that's never been told before and one alot of Lion King fans have waited for, for a long time! Not only is it a new story being told, but the expressions in there faces are way better then the 1st movie. When the 1st movie was announced, as big of a lion king fan as I am, I was not excited to see the remake. I just really hope this new story will answer alot of questions and not ruin the whole franchise. The lion guard was a very interesting take, and is canon! So it's gonna be strange if any part of the lion guard isn't mention in this film. Doesn't have to be a big part, just there.
I think the white lions eliminate Scar's family and make him and Simba rouge lions. Then on the run they meet Sarabi who chooses Mufasa over scar and starts a pride with him.
Despite some people’s preconceived notions of this movie,I’m looking forward to seeing it. Besides Mufasa: The Lion King is number 1 on my list of anticipated 2024 movies.
After the first trailer, I thought this was going to be about what everyone seems (or seemed) to think, Mufasa being adopted by Scar’s family and technically usurping, as you say, the throne from him - if it does turn out to be that, it would probably be *because* of Scar’s fall from grace - but this new trailer makes me think it’ll be a more complex story than that. And who wants to bet Mufasa is the one who gives Scar his... scar? One thing I’ve noticed - I’ve personally never seen Wicked so I don’t know the whole story but it’s interesting that this film comes out less than a month after the (first part of the) film adaptation of Wicked, which I’m very excited for, more so than Mufasa to be honest but I still think it looks quite nice, and Mufasa and Taka’s relationship seems quite similar from what I gather Elphaba and Glinda’s is like, an unlikely friendship Doomed by Canon, as they say on TV Tropes. I just thought it was an interesting coincidence. Both musicals too.
I wonder if the movie will have Can You Feel The Love Tonight with Mufasa and Sarabi falling in love just like with Simba and Nala. That would be SO ADORABLE!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm excited for Mufasa: The Lion King; it's original, which is more than can be said for 2019's The Lion King. Although the facial expressions seem to have improved since the last film, they'll always be hindered by the hyper realistic designs.
I mean we get original songs Lin-Manuel Miranda so at least there I KNOW the music will be good but if the trailer is anything to go by, the soundtrack will be top-tier. The one thing that keeps nagging at me though is that in so many scenes, Taka almost looks like one of the white lions or perhaps something inbetween a normal lion and a leucistic one. I'm wondering if that might play into the story... Like was that was deliberate or an accident? He looks a great deal lighter in this movie than in the Lion King LA of 2019.
Nice video but I don't think that Taka is a coward jurying the trailer, I mean if your look the sense where Mufasa says they must fight you can see the waterfall behind them, and later before they jump there at the edge, and it not like there facing the Krios if that how you spell his name alone, I mean look his got his pride with him, so when Taka says if we fight we died isn't him being a coward It actually the smart move because there out numbered, think about it two teenage lion vs a full grown adult male is bad enough but if he back by the lioness and the other males in his pride because remember we do see other males in the trailer. And I think these perfectly shows the brains and strength divide between the brothers, because if Krios did kill there parents, I'm sure given how vengeful Taka becomes later in life, he what's payback but on there terms in a place where they can get Krios alone without anyone to back him, and maybe Krios is the one that gives Taka some of his scars, maybe not the one on his face but remember in the remake his body has faded scars and a pit of his ear is gone.
5:18 Yeah does not make ANY sense to how Disney just fell off when they made their 2016's The Jungle Book which you can obviously see emotion with Raksha, Bagheera, Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan ESPECIALLY Shere Khan HELL !!!! they were even able to capture emtion with their 2018 Pete's Dragon Elliot where you can visually see sadness happiness undertanding empathy and above all anger.
In last shot of trailer there is a scene which a lion traps in a flood that is mufasas father i think. Takas pride was attacked by white lions when both mufasa and taka in teenage
Personally I really wish that they included characters like Ahadi and Uru (Taka's and Mufasa's parents in the Six New Adventures series) in the movie's universe. Growing up reading fan-made stories of the TLK Universe their most commonly depicted love story and their impact on Taka and Mufasa was always so iconic. Usually Taka and Mufasa are depicted to be blood-related brothers, their rift caused by either their parents or outside forces- (one version being Taka corrupted by the former Hyena matriarch). My favorite version is teenage rogue Ahadi encountering a young royal Uru as a cub in the pridelands, their funny and obnoxious interactions together, with Mohatu (Uru's dad, King of Pride rock) driving out Ahadi at first but after saving Uru from hyenas (or any other external force), he is finally accepted into the pride (paralleling Kovu's acceptance into the pride in TLK2). Seeing them grow closer together as they grow up and fall in love and eventually become King and Queen of pride rock was always satisfying to me. I think what I like about it more is actually having a Royal Queen of Pride rock for once other than Kiara. Even better if Uru's personality parallels Kiara's, and seeing obnoxious cub Uru becoming a strong mature Queen. In the books, Uru is depicted to be a very loved, fair Queen as well (I think she travels to find a water source for the pridelands when there is a drought or something). Mohatu being a single father and having Uru as his only one surviving cub would have been an interesting perspective to see- since he named her 'diamond' and would be very protective of her, and it would've been lovely to see their interactions. I think if Disney hadn't put Mufasa as the 'first' king of the pridelands but instead suggested a long royal bloodline (which seemed to have been suggested in TLK1 with Mufasa telling Simba about the 'Kings looking down on us from the stars) that would've been interesting to explore further. Because I do think the introduction of a white lion called Kyros who wants to be the only king to be very random, but that's just my opinion. The relationship with the former Hyena matriarch would've made more sense as an external threat with her being the main villain and would've explained the rift between lions and hyenas (Seeing as they accept all other predators except them). If it was a long royal bloodline, it would also explain the 'laws' of the pridelands too, like the 'balance of the circle of life' (which would've been the reason why the pridelands was always flourishing with plenty of food and water, something maybe the pride figured out, unlike other lion prides), the law of paying debts (Simba accepting Kovu's proposal for saving Kiara). I don't think they came about just from Mufasa's rule (I don't think he's a fuckin god to be that smart lol). All in all I do think the new movie has a really exciting storyline though, maybe as an alternate universe. I'm so glad they made Taka goofy too.
"I'm just trying to protect you"-Simba to Kiara, this is in parallel to what Mufasa says. Because of any wrong choices Mufasa may have done, this was likely later viewed a manipulative by Taka. Scar very likely was betrayed by his brother, but Mufasa was just being a bit of an idiot and therefore, didn't know it. Simba has some similar faults of not realizing that he, really hurts those he cares about sometimes, and can be in the wrong. That is an important lesson for Simba in the sequel, so this is a lesson Mufasa likely never really learned. He was also likely surprised that his brother killed him and just couldn't see that he himself did something wrong, that his brother wasn't just suddenly evil like a sickness that infected him, but rather he was hurt. Mufasa hurt him. Scar was was wounded not poisoned.
i was just thinking of it how male lions are driven out of their prides when they start to reach maturity but your theory makes a lot more sense with the plot
I hope they pay attention to how Taka got his scar In the first movie when Mufasa talked to Scar and says “Is that a challenge?” Scar “I won’t dream of challenging you…again.” And since he’s mentioned and shown that he likes Sarabi, they have to show how that relationship was
I think Mufasa the lion king is going to be base from lion king 2 from where Kiara met Kovu and Simba saving her to Rafiki taking about Mufasa and Scar past
Scar's name Taka is Swahili for Trash. It comes from the first back story (A Tale of Two Lions). He was the younger brother and his family hated him. Saw him as useless. Which is what led to him becoming evil. Plus Mufasa was a spoiled brat. In the Lion Guard the story was more interesting. His name was Askari (Soldier) and since he would never see the throne, his parents had him trained to be a military leader instead. He even gained the roar of the Elders. The reason he became scar is because he stopped an evil Lion and his Serpent side kick from overthrowing the royal family. The serpent gave him that scar and the venom that flowed through his veins was magical. It made him evil. If his family had tried to cure him he would probably never have become evil. But even Mufasa brushed it off. In fact he was the one who named him Scar to mock him. And the rest of the Lion Guard started to call him that too. Which led to him killing them all with the Roar of the Elders. And lost his power when he did that. And ended up being partially banished into the Hyena's territory.
I gave my friend an AMC gift card for her birthday and told her she has to use it to see a movie with me and it will either be Mufasa or Beetlejuice 2.
It’s likely mufasa would beat the evil lion in question when taka formed the plan to beat him and taka begins to build resentment toward mufasa and they end up fighting for the throne which in the 2019 film was mentioned that scar got the scar on his face from mufasa himself when he challenged mufasa for the throne head on but failed. Mufasa luckily didn’t sentence scar to exile since he promised his brother a place by his side, a true home since his family took him in but scar/taka held that resentment for so long as well as him and Sarabi becoming mates which sends taka over the ends fully I bet.
It seems to me they have eliminated the birthright of Mufasa being the rightful king. In the original story it is pretty clear that Mufasa was the first born. Scar was the next in line before the little furball was born. The original story says that the king is handed down by succession. But I am open to this version to see how the story plays out.
It's implied that Mufasa is the "true king". He's literally Moses floating down the river when he's found. I think it will be revealed over the story, and because the white lion says "Only one lion king" that king ends up being Mufasa in the end.
i have a theory where, the white lions scratches his eye and pins him in the ground, and the leader kiros (i think) told him lies about mufasa, and calling him scar, just a theory
I know scar feels like it isn’t fair that Mufasa became king and he didn’t get to when he was next in line, but he should be happy for his brother especially all that he has been through as a cub. Mufasa wouldn’t kill scar if he wanted to be king especially when Mufasa said in the trailer “ I’m here to protect you, my brother” that’s called unconditional love, something that scar will never understand
Bruh.... If Scars parents usurped Mufasas parents just for mufasa to still end up as king , while Scar usurps Mufasa , and tries to kill simba just for Simba to become King... Thats truly the circle of life...
Just like Lion King based on Kimba(Jungle Emperor) of Osamu Tezuka, we think there're gonna be Walt Disney's other future new animated movies, based on Astro Boy(Atom) of Osamu Tezuka, in the long term.
No, The Lion King is not based on Jungle Emperor whatsoever, since it's a lion version of Hamlet and a love letter to Africa, while Kimba is a pro-colonialism, racist-filled story about "civilizing the savages". At this point everyone should be aware of this.
Actually if Mufasa was the one who got named King over Scar and their father died then it does make more sense why Scar/Taka thought he deserved it, because Mufasa literally was given privilege over him, he became jealous, but in the original admits that Mufasa had something over him (considering Scar is pretty scrawny and if Scar was supposed to be king first, it would have to imply Scar is older than Mufasa.) I don't know if its said he is or not, but he should be. Scar was jealous. Its why he didnt care to see Simba presented to the kingdom.
I have a feeling a lot of this set up is going to lead up to Simba’s pride. The retelling of events, showing why there’s a divide in the pride (the outsiders) and why they support Scar. All of it leading up to Kovu and why he is Scar’s heir. Whether they’re going to change it and actually make him Scar’s son or not, unsure. Probably why they made Scar and Mufasa not biological brothers in this. Tho I’m sure they’ll show more of Scar’s decline in the next movie as it feels like we’re not going to get enough time to really delve into it in “Mufasa”.
6:12 my guess is that they're using some actual lion facts for that plotline. Lions in the wild (male lions atleast) leave their pride once fully grown and venture far away to start their own pride. It helps avoid inbreeding
Just so where clear I came up with this idea first that they came from two different royal families and that mufasa’s would be the one who ends up with his original family
Honestly though if this film is all about Rafiki telling Kiara Mufasa's story ... I feel like they'll have to do a 3rd movie called Simba's Pride to show the story of Zira and Kovu. Also, there's a scene of Timon and Pumbaa battling Scar So I feel like Timon and Pumbaa will be telling Kiara their version of the Battle at Pride Rock... and Rafiki will come in and tell the real story from the beginning
They have a better chance at interesting people like this, by doing more original storylines with the CGI version than adapting the old 2D animated movies because then people can judge it separately as its own things. And hopefully they get more seasoned voice actors and not go with too many pop-singers voicing the characters. But Timone, Scar Pumba, and Simba did have good voices.
Kind of funny the story involves a villain white lion after years of debate whether Kimber the white lion was the original story before the lion king lol
A Taka movie would work great, actually. A lot of films are taking old villains and looking deeper into their behavior and giving them more emotional depth. A whole story about why a villain becomes a villain is basically the Star Wars prequels. Without the terrible dialogue and hammy acting, they would have been more likeable for that reason. I think these sorts of psychological dives into character are more interesting. I'm probably not going to pay to see this though.
I was on Cinema 1994 when i was kid when i saw the first Lion king! For me this is like mindblowing! All i wanna know now is why did scar be so angry and want to kill his brother! I hope those answers will show!
Really? Even if the lions's expressions are a bit creepy and in the uncanny valley? Even if Scar being nice makes no sense? Even if Mufasa is NOT a prince and a stray? The backgrounds have more color... it's great but not enough to make a good movie 😐
@ladypool Given that the 2019 were creepier and a lot more boring bc of how expressionless they were. As for Scar being nice, they are doing this thing called a villain origin story, and I think it actually makes more sense why Mufasa allows Scar to stick around despite Scar not contributing much to the Pride by the time Simba is born.
In real life, male lions are usually forced out of their pride to go find one of their own once they're old enough to hunt for themselves. It's also very common for brothers to travel together. This is probably what is happening in the scene where the queen seems to be chasing them out to find their place in the circle of life. Which is weird but alright sure. Honestly, not a fan of the idea of Mufasa not being the legit older brother of Taka at all. It makes no sense in context of how he acts in the original and while I never saw the 'live action' one I can't imagine his characterization was much different. While I wouldn't necessarily say he was a-hole he was definitely an 'older brother' in the way he kind of bullied and used his bulk to put Scar in his place. A lot of people tend to forget the fact that yeah... Mufasa was kind of an entitled brute. So having him be some orphan and not at all related to Taka is bizarre to me. Their whole dynamic was based on Mufasa being the jockish big brother to Scars more intellectual little brother, which isn't really something that works the same when they aren't biologically related.
Your theory is good and I think they probably use an actual lion behavior that bachelor males will sometimes stick together in groups of 2-4 while they’re just leaving their og pride and sometimes they establish a pride together though this can go 3 ways the biggest male is the only one who can reproduce and the spare is tolerated for being extra muscle but there’s a boundary (tho sometimes they sneak and produce children anyway which why they stick around too) sometimes they literally are all sharing and it works out or last once they find a pride they fight and the winner drives off the loser(s). And ofc the first two can end up in the last situation. I’d add quickly too that when a male looses his spot in the pride and a new male takes over his first order of business is to end all the cubs from that male. I think they’ll perhaps have the brothers leave Takas pride together mimicking this irl behavior in either a go on boys start your own lives or now that you’re grown take help mufasa find where he came from quest and then have more G rated conflict around the factors in the other two scenarios in an anthropomorphic way jealousy of power or something like that.
This is basically gonna Have the Same Brothers turned Enemy's plot as Transformers One but You know Crappy But looks Better then the first one Film and i cant tell there expressions :|
I agree!SO:PLEASE NO MORE!Remakes are like trying to get money the easy way,(And if that is enough it furthers the sterotype that Animation is only for kids by having this "REMADE" in live-action to be more "adult"(their pointless more often than not).The worst part is Disney started out as a ANIMATION STUDIO and are insulting the people who built the company to make bank,Listen FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU,....FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME.Remakes(most of them anyways) also stifle out actual creativity which could be used to create something new and not yet another repeat(Also technically its not live action because they would bother to use actual animals)......These types of remakesa re genuine Anti-Art.....so lets finnally stop being suckered and stop buying tickets to the latest remake and watch something that actually is worth it.
I'm watching it as it isn't a remake but something new and I don't mind the remakes as many kids never saw the original and can get them interested in it plus I take my family to see them and I like spending time with them when I can.
@@Gamerboss40YT They can just re-release the classics(They did that originally)That way showing them the true classics without tainting them with pale imitations...
Pretty sure sometimes male lions kill cubs when they take over a pride, maybe that’s what happened to Mufasa’s Pride and perhaps that’s why the white lion is chasing him? Imagine if the white lion took over Taka’s pride too and Taka blamed Mufasa for it
Except there's the line from the OG film, " Where as far as brains go, I've got the lions share, but when it comes to brute strength. I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." Disney is truly making fools of themselves, insulting the much better works that they piggyback off of, and insulting the audiences intellegence.
My prediction is that Taka will get amnesia from the fight he will get his scar from. The amnesia will make him evil ‘n stuff (that’s in my opinion the only way they can logically change this goofy brother-loving lion into a murderer).
I honestly think I'll see the animation and live action as different universes
they are that just make sense
Remakes are their own thing. They are not connected to the original. Mufasa movie will only be connected to the 2019 remake .
I kinda love how we all call these the live action version even though it’s all cgi.
That's actually exactly what Disney wants to do
Kimba the white lion
Take and Mufasa from the trailer gave me vibes of Moses and Ramses from The Prince of Egypt, I’m probably alone in the but it’s what I see
your not the only one who sees that here
@@carterblake3410Good to see I’m not alone on this one 😊
@@hyperdreamer9483 yeah i was hoping they are going the prince of Egypt rout
Yeah, I noticed that too which I am really wanting to watch Mufasa. I also love The Prince Of Egypt, my childhood favorite!
Yeah, me too. In the same year we are getting another "heroes and villains were like brothers" movie - Transformers One. Not to mention the quote "We were brothers once... once" was from Transformers franchise (The last knight) !!
I know a lot of people are speculating that mufasa takes taka's rightful place as king but my theory is that on mufasa's journey he gets all the lion prides together to fight the white lions and then becomes king of that combined pride. But i guess we'll see what happens
Yeah I think this will basically be that a king isn't born a king they have to do something to earn it like Simba did. And here we see his father did too.
I thought that too! Which is also kind of a parallel to Scar who, in a way *fought* for the throne. Or atleast was willing to fight for the position (Scheme and steal is more like it)
This film is likely Mufasa's own coming-of-age story of how he courageously earned the title.
Maybe perhaps Mufasa and Scar both founded pride rock.
@@TheChicken7576 thats a good point from the way the words are said in the trailer there isn't a united pride but a bunch of small ones. This white lion plans to force one lion king to rule all tribes but Mufasa by uniting them to not rule them but save them may earn all the respect and they agree to let him be the one true king while Taka could feel like his whole place in this adventure wasn't properly recognized
My theory is white Lion kills Taka's father and becomes King and Mufasa defeats him and become king
I think so it might go that way or I think Scar may side with the white lions to save his own hide ad he doesn't want to be killed and go against mufasa in a show down...looks so interesting!
I found the 2019 Lion King Remake to be okay like a 6/10. But this has me one has me a lot more excited: -
1) Its an original story
2) The lions have more emotions
3) Kiros, the white lion villain looks freaking cool.
4) The CGI of the scenery looks incredible.
But also some concerns: -
1) The voices do feel a bit off.
2) Taka is portrayed very light hearted and goofy so I hope they are able to make his fall from grace be more gradual and heart-breaking.
Until Disney makes a sequel about Kiros, making him yet another villain who is the misunderstood victim. 🤦♂️

his name is Kiros? dude that name sounds sick as hell
I agree with your points except the voices. I think already they sound better and more expressive than the 2019 lion king.
As a massive fan of the lion king I’m cautiously optimistic but am excited to finally see the lion king get a new story for the first time in almost ten years (if the lion guard counts)
Yeah the Lion Guard definitely counts since it is a new story in the Lion King universe
Tbh I’m probably biased because I grew up on it but I love the lion guard despite its imperfections
@@Kittenmax15Me too! I didn't grow up on it, I found it when I was maybe ten, I just found some sort of charm in it that makes me like it, especially some of the songs and like all of season 3, even though I know for the most part it's pretty stupid and meant for kindergarteners. Just a little guilty pleasure of mine lol
I am a huge zoology nerd, so one thing I liked about live action Jungle book and Lion king were the more obscure animals featured. Stuff like elephant shrew, bat eared fox and european roller. I hope there are more of these little gems hidden in this movie.
1:48. To turn this to an argument, in the first trailer, Rafiki describes Mufasa as "without a drop of nobility in his blood." We also see in the poster for the movie that Mufasa is an orphan, an outsider and a king. Your argument can make sense if Mufasa and Taka are from different bloodlines which you are saying here so this comment doesn't make sense. Maybe the lion being described as "without a drop of nobility in his blood," is Kiros who leads the white lions. That's the only way this whole thing can make sense
Wow ❤
But that could be Mufasa description within scar's pride to them he is an orphan with no Nobel blood 🤔
Another way it could make sense is if scars pride as well as mufasa thought he was of no royal blood

@@NewyorkJKSKMe too
Honestly, the idea of Mufasa being adopted, becoming king instead of Scar despite Scar being the natural heir, and then Mufasa having a son to be the next heir before Scar would make Scar's excessive bitterness towards Mufasa make sense. If Mufasa wasn't adopted, I think Scar would've been okay with the idea of Mufasa being King before him as well as having an heir.
The white lions being the villains... I wonder if this is a jab at the Kimba vs Simba discourse, lol
The only issue with the 2019 version is that it’s retelling a story that’s been told before and the photo realistic animals weren’t expressive enough, those things seem to have been fixed in Mufusa so I’m fairly optimistic about it and so far it’s looks like it’s going to be pretty good.
This is how i see the movie
1. kyros and the white lion pride go around userping prides to become this sort of totalitarian leader over the pridelands
2. he does this to mufasa pride hence hem being thrown into a river and drifting off miles away
3. taka finds him and takes him to his pride where the grow up together
4. kryros eventually finds this pride years later and he takes it down too
5. taka and mufasa flee to the mountains where they find sarabi's tribe
6. taka wants the stay and keep running mufasa wants to fight
7. a love triangle (more of a line) forms between the brothers and sarabi. taka likes sarabi and sarabi likes mufasa
8. using the forces of sarabis tribe theres a final battle between our heros and the white lions
9. taka saves mufasa from kyros during the fight and earns his famous scar.
10. mufasa takes kyros down and is crowned a hero
11. he become king of the now unifed pridelands
12. he marries sarabi and gets all the honor and reconition from the war
13. taka gets nothing for his bravery besides a nickname mocking his injury and (greatest insecurity) even though he has royal blood and mufasa doesn't.
14. this starts takas fall from grace
His name is scar or did they change it?
Thing is both mufasa and Scar are not from pride lands mufasa home is lost after a big water flod then he is find by taka and adopted into his pride.
Kiros apiers kills Taka parents then mufasa and taka run they meet sarabi,rafiki,zazu on the way eventualy they find the pride lands .
And yess i do belive final batlle is in the pride lands .
@@solidsnake8331 His true name's canonically been Taka for years now. I think it was mentioned in The Lion Guard, but it originally comes from a book that takes place before the og movie.
Could the use of white lions as villains be an 'attack'. on the backlash/commentary Disney got about 'copying' Kimba the white lion?
Lion king literally based on Kimba

@@xxxnarurto5747 Wrong. Kimba the white lion is older that the lion king

You have this magical ability of making me more hopeful about things I was 100% more pessimistic about in the past. Hope this movie’s good 😭
I think you're right about Taka/Scar losing his family and title, and Mufasa somehow getting back his, and that will cause Taka to attack Mufasa, and Mufasa will be the one who gives him his Scar and nickname, but also spares Scar's life because "he's his brother." There is a part from the 1st New Lion King movie where Scar says he'd "Never challenge Mufasa AGAIN." I think this possible fight is what he means. Just a thought!
Even if one wants to resist, the trailer looks epic. Well, that's not what I imagined Mufasa's origin story would be like (but it's only in his live-action version), I'll have to wait and see, although it will be great to see how he meets his allies: Rafiki, Zazu and Sarabi. Another thing they did choose a good actor for the voice of Mufasa young adult, he sounded good like James Earl Jones.
See more landscapes is awesome, even though as far as I believed, I thought Mufasa never left PrideLands, and seeing Scar being lighthearted and goofy, a bit doesn't fit or convince me, I hope it explains how he fell into the darkness and his breakup with Mufasa, if it was like that. I guess it's too late to ask them to rewrite something
1:50 I hope the movie explains this line
2:35 come on, I do expect see scenes in the present
*Something I think is that in Lion King 2, before meeting Kovu, Kiara still didn't know anything about her grandfather Mufasa and the whole story, also about her dad, she was still little.
Kinda sad that they’re copying the crocodile part from the second movie, where kovu and kiara have a storyline, and aren’t coming up with something totally new..
one set piece isn't quite the same thing as not having something new especially since we see locations here that we never saw in lion king movies like a snowt mountain
@BAdtnl, is kind sad you think that
@BAdtnl
They don't copy anything, it's savannah. In the savanna, there are rivers of crocodiles. Lions often face crocodiles. At first they enter the water to cross the river, then they come face to face with the crocodiles, they panic, they try to escape from the jaws of the crocodiles and an epic battle ensues. Watch documentaries and short videos on TH-cam. No copy at all. And if Disney wants to, it can keep putting in crocodile ponds. Also, maybe in other movies with savannahs and lions they use the same setting in their way because it's savannah. An author writing about lions may use the same setting as his own battle performance. Canyons, lakes, acacias, rocks, African animals, these can all be used by anyone doing an animal and savannah themed project. If someone writes in his novel that Tsamudi the Lion climbed a canyon and his son helped him to the top, it does not mean he copied Scar and Mufasa.
FUN FACT: Kovu is a swahili word for scar just as simba is for lion and rafiki for friend. The whole lion king sets on the serengeti national park of my country Tanzania. And I doubt Disney ever acknowledged it😭😭
@@michaelkevin146 Sadly and this may be American mind talking, we see that biome and just think african savanna didn't know about tanzania cool fact!
When this trailer featuring Kiros and his pride of white lion, I was shocked because I remember the original The Lion King film in 1994 have a certain elements of the film were thought to bear and a claims of resemblance to Osamu Tezuka's 1960s Japanese anime television series titled Kimba the White Lion, with some similarities between a number of characters and various individual scenes
I'm also cautiously optimistic. I love the idea of any ORIGINAL story.
I've Always Loved Scar And I've Always Known His Backstory Is Heartbreaking, Amongst Many Other Scar Fans..It'll Be Nice To See What Really Happened Instead Of A Million Different Versions, And To Be Honest I'm Not Surprised There Not Blood Brothers..Poor Taka, We'll Finally Get To See Why He's The Villian..🥺🥺🥰🥰
I’m surprised they used the name taka for scar because that’s only in the books, but they aren’t official

@@islasullivan3463 yeah
@@islasullivan3463It can be interpreted as both "trash" and "want".
@@hyperdreamer9483 obviously not the live action 🤦♀
I'm pretty much enthusiastic that would be the A+Movie to watch this Christmas....😊
Mufasa got swept down river at the beginning, meaning he was lost, his pride is probably at Priderock.. or somewhere else. Taka's (Scars) family is living by a Giant Tree, which I'm thinking it's the Tree of Life from Kion: The Lion Guard, where scar gets the roar power from the ancestors. Mufasa takes over as the one and only king after defeating the white lions.
I absolutely loved the 2019 movie, because it was beautiful and the emoting didn’t bother me as much as it did everyone else-I usually watch things like Savage Kingdom, so the movie felt at home with me. They looked like real lions and I loved that.
And now Disney’s making a remake prequel with its own story? Phenomenal! I just hope it isn’t met with the same level of hate that the first one did, because it kind of ruins the whimsy that the movies have. Also that it beats Wish. That’s our standard for bad movies now 😂

@@yay29823 Because it's a new and original movie that gave us the original of the magic mirror on the in Snow White and Shrek plus the introduction of the first Fairy Godmother
I think the family of taka isnt living at the pride rock. Takas pride is from somewhere else. So Taka isnt the rightful king of pride rock. And the white lions destroyed his original pride. Then taka and mufasa found the pride rock and maybe thats the original home of Mufasa which they wanted to find again after Takas home was taken over
Now that makes sense
I have a theory, and its outlandish at best, but it would make for a great plotline. I think Taka (Scar) and Mufasa were in a sort of switched at birth situation because of the color pallet. Mufasa is more of a yellow orange like the Pride landers while Taka is more on the white side like the Outsiders. So it'll come down to that smell of home that Mufasa is chasing being his birth family and rightful place as the next king. Meanwhile, Taka will slowly start feeling 1. pushed into the shadow by his adoptive brother and 2. also start to realize the he was born an Outsider and switched at birth. A mix of these 2 things and the fact that if Mufasa hadn't shown up, the throne would've been his. This'll turn him into the Scar we all remember and on course to the events of the first Lion King movie. I want other opinions on this
I'm excited for this movie! It's a story that's never been told before and one alot of Lion King fans have waited for, for a long time! Not only is it a new story being told, but the expressions in there faces are way better then the 1st movie. When the 1st movie was announced, as big of a lion king fan as I am, I was not excited to see the remake. I just really hope this new story will answer alot of questions and not ruin the whole franchise. The lion guard was a very interesting take, and is canon! So it's gonna be strange if any part of the lion guard isn't mention in this film. Doesn't have to be a big part, just there.
I think the white lions eliminate Scar's family and make him and Simba rouge lions. Then on the run they meet Sarabi who chooses Mufasa over scar and starts a pride with him.
im so hype for this film.
Despite some people’s preconceived notions of this movie,I’m looking forward to seeing it. Besides Mufasa: The Lion King is number 1 on my list of anticipated 2024 movies.
Im actually really excited for this it looks like it could be really cool! The fact its an original story makes it so much more interesting!
It seems that this movie's plot involving the white male lion and his pack may have taken inspiration from the documentary "The Lions Of Sabi Sands".
The lion king has always been one of my favorite movies, so needless to say I am sooooo excited for this new one 😁
Im genuinely interested in this movie i can't wait for it to come out
I'm really looking forward to this, I hope they pull it off & give us an amazing original story.
Definitely looking foward to watch!!
After the first trailer, I thought this was going to be about what everyone seems (or seemed) to think, Mufasa being adopted by Scar’s family and technically usurping, as you say, the throne from him - if it does turn out to be that, it would probably be *because* of Scar’s fall from grace - but this new trailer makes me think it’ll be a more complex story than that. And who wants to bet Mufasa is the one who gives Scar his... scar?
One thing I’ve noticed - I’ve personally never seen Wicked so I don’t know the whole story but it’s interesting that this film comes out less than a month after the (first part of the) film adaptation of Wicked, which I’m very excited for, more so than Mufasa to be honest but I still think it looks quite nice, and Mufasa and Taka’s relationship seems quite similar from what I gather Elphaba and Glinda’s is like, an unlikely friendship Doomed by Canon, as they say on TV Tropes. I just thought it was an interesting coincidence. Both musicals too.
I wonder if the movie will have Can You Feel The Love Tonight with Mufasa and Sarabi falling in love just like with Simba and Nala. That would be SO ADORABLE!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm excited for Mufasa: The Lion King; it's original, which is more than can be said for 2019's The Lion King. Although the facial expressions seem to have improved since the last film, they'll always be hindered by the hyper realistic designs.
I'm excited for this movie
I mean we get original songs Lin-Manuel Miranda so at least there I KNOW the music will be good but if the trailer is anything to go by, the soundtrack will be top-tier. The one thing that keeps nagging at me though is that in so many scenes, Taka almost looks like one of the white lions or perhaps something inbetween a normal lion and a leucistic one. I'm wondering if that might play into the story... Like was that was deliberate or an accident? He looks a great deal lighter in this movie than in the Lion King LA of 2019.
Nice video but I don't think that Taka is a coward jurying the trailer, I mean if your look the sense where Mufasa says they must fight you can see the waterfall behind them, and later before they jump there at the edge, and it not like there facing the Krios if that how you spell his name alone, I mean look his got his pride with him, so when Taka says if we fight we died isn't him being a coward It actually the smart move because there out numbered, think about it two teenage lion vs a full grown adult male is bad enough but if he back by the lioness and the other males in his pride because remember we do see other males in the trailer.
And I think these perfectly shows the brains and strength divide between the brothers, because if Krios did kill there parents, I'm sure given how vengeful Taka becomes later in life, he what's payback but on there terms in a place where they can get Krios alone without anyone to back him, and maybe Krios is the one that gives Taka some of his scars, maybe not the one on his face but remember in the remake his body has faded scars and a pit of his ear is gone.
5:18 Yeah does not make ANY sense to how Disney just fell off when they made their 2016's The Jungle Book which you can obviously see emotion with Raksha, Bagheera, Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan ESPECIALLY Shere Khan HELL !!!! they were even able to capture emtion with their 2018 Pete's Dragon Elliot where you can visually see sadness happiness undertanding empathy and above all anger.
In last shot of trailer there is a scene which a lion traps in a flood that is mufasas father i think. Takas pride was attacked by white lions when both mufasa and taka in teenage
Personally I really wish that they included characters like Ahadi and Uru (Taka's and Mufasa's parents in the Six New Adventures series) in the movie's universe. Growing up reading fan-made stories of the TLK Universe their most commonly depicted love story and their impact on Taka and Mufasa was always so iconic. Usually Taka and Mufasa are depicted to be blood-related brothers, their rift caused by either their parents or outside forces- (one version being Taka corrupted by the former Hyena matriarch).
My favorite version is teenage rogue Ahadi encountering a young royal Uru as a cub in the pridelands, their funny and obnoxious interactions together, with Mohatu (Uru's dad, King of Pride rock) driving out Ahadi at first but after saving Uru from hyenas (or any other external force), he is finally accepted into the pride (paralleling Kovu's acceptance into the pride in TLK2). Seeing them grow closer together as they grow up and fall in love and eventually become King and Queen of pride rock was always satisfying to me. I think what I like about it more is actually having a Royal Queen of Pride rock for once other than Kiara. Even better if Uru's personality parallels Kiara's, and seeing obnoxious cub Uru becoming a strong mature Queen. In the books, Uru is depicted to be a very loved, fair Queen as well (I think she travels to find a water source for the pridelands when there is a drought or something). Mohatu being a single father and having Uru as his only one surviving cub would have been an interesting perspective to see- since he named her 'diamond' and would be very protective of her, and it would've been lovely to see their interactions.
I think if Disney hadn't put Mufasa as the 'first' king of the pridelands but instead suggested a long royal bloodline (which seemed to have been suggested in TLK1 with Mufasa telling Simba about the 'Kings looking down on us from the stars) that would've been interesting to explore further. Because I do think the introduction of a white lion called Kyros who wants to be the only king to be very random, but that's just my opinion. The relationship with the former Hyena matriarch would've made more sense as an external threat with her being the main villain and would've explained the rift between lions and hyenas (Seeing as they accept all other predators except them). If it was a long royal bloodline, it would also explain the 'laws' of the pridelands too, like the 'balance of the circle of life' (which would've been the reason why the pridelands was always flourishing with plenty of food and water, something maybe the pride figured out, unlike other lion prides), the law of paying debts (Simba accepting Kovu's proposal for saving Kiara). I don't think they came about just from Mufasa's rule (I don't think he's a fuckin god to be that smart lol).
All in all I do think the new movie has a really exciting storyline though, maybe as an alternate universe. I'm so glad they made Taka goofy too.
@@shibeyyyy yeah, it was a great chance
"I'm just trying to protect you"-Simba to Kiara, this is in parallel to what Mufasa says. Because of any wrong choices Mufasa may have done, this was likely later viewed a manipulative by Taka. Scar very likely was betrayed by his brother, but Mufasa was just being a bit of an idiot and therefore, didn't know it. Simba has some similar faults of not realizing that he, really hurts those he cares about sometimes, and can be in the wrong. That is an important lesson for Simba in the sequel, so this is a lesson Mufasa likely never really learned. He was also likely surprised that his brother killed him and just couldn't see that he himself did something wrong, that his brother wasn't just suddenly evil like a sickness that infected him, but rather he was hurt. Mufasa hurt him.
Scar was was wounded not poisoned.
i was just thinking of it how male lions are driven out of their prides when they start to reach maturity but your theory makes a lot more sense with the plot
They're actually adding in facial expressions now!
It’s just Star Wars 2.0
Disney is trying to catch the same “Anakin” effect.
With this and that new Transformers film, having strong bonds wither into enemies is turning into the new go to theme for this year's films
I actually thought this would be as or even worse than the other live action, I have been proved wrong
What they did right was... they finally put more expressions on the lions than the remake.. this is what i wanted
I hope they pay attention to how Taka got his scar
In the first movie when Mufasa talked to Scar and says “Is that a challenge?”
Scar “I won’t dream of challenging you…again.”
And since he’s mentioned and shown that he likes Sarabi, they have to show how that relationship was
Maybe it all stemmed from a "Pals Before Gals" situation with them, maybe meeting Sarabi!
I think Mufasa the lion king is going to be base from lion king 2 from where Kiara met Kovu and Simba saving her to Rafiki taking about Mufasa and Scar past
Scar's name Taka is Swahili for Trash. It comes from the first back story (A Tale of Two Lions). He was the younger brother and his family hated him. Saw him as useless. Which is what led to him becoming evil.
Plus Mufasa was a spoiled brat. In the Lion Guard the story was more interesting. His name was Askari (Soldier) and since he would never see the throne, his parents had him trained to be a military leader instead. He even gained the roar of the Elders. The reason he became scar is because he stopped an evil Lion and his Serpent side kick from overthrowing the royal family.
The serpent gave him that scar and the venom that flowed through his veins was magical. It made him evil. If his family had tried to cure him he would probably never have become evil. But even Mufasa brushed it off. In fact he was the one who named him Scar to mock him.
And the rest of the Lion Guard started to call him that too. Which led to him killing them all with the Roar of the Elders. And lost his power when he did that. And ended up being partially banished into the Hyena's territory.
I gave my friend an AMC gift card for her birthday and told her she has to use it to see a movie with me and it will either be Mufasa or Beetlejuice 2.
I’d prefer Beetlejuice 2 instead.
@@carminecdinoproductions Yeah thats what we will be seeing.
@@fataleflare Me too.
Why do we keep judging animals by human standards. Lions fight over the control of the pride. They kill without any remorse thats why they are king
It’s likely mufasa would beat the evil lion in question when taka formed the plan to beat him and taka begins to build resentment toward mufasa and they end up fighting for the throne which in the 2019 film was mentioned that scar got the scar on his face from mufasa himself when he challenged mufasa for the throne head on but failed. Mufasa luckily didn’t sentence scar to exile since he promised his brother a place by his side, a true home since his family took him in but scar/taka held that resentment for so long as well as him and Sarabi becoming mates which sends taka over the ends fully I bet.
It seems to me they have eliminated the birthright of Mufasa being the rightful king. In the original story it is pretty clear that Mufasa was the first born. Scar was the next in line before the little furball was born. The original story says that the king is handed down by succession. But I am open to this version to see how the story plays out.
It's implied that Mufasa is the "true king". He's literally Moses floating down the river when he's found. I think it will be revealed over the story, and because the white lion says "Only one lion king" that king ends up being Mufasa in the end.
i have a theory where, the white lions scratches his eye and pins him in the ground, and the leader kiros (i think) told him lies about mufasa, and calling him scar, just a theory
This looks a lot better now. We always knew Scar wasn’t always like that.
I know scar feels like it isn’t fair that Mufasa became king and he didn’t get to when he was next in line, but he should be happy for his brother especially all that he has been through as a cub. Mufasa wouldn’t kill scar if he wanted to be king especially when Mufasa said in the trailer “ I’m here to protect you, my brother” that’s called unconditional love, something that scar will never understand
Bruh.... If Scars parents usurped Mufasas parents just for mufasa to still end up as king , while Scar usurps Mufasa , and tries to kill simba just for Simba to become King... Thats truly the circle of life...
Just like Lion King based on Kimba(Jungle Emperor) of Osamu Tezuka, we think there're gonna be Walt Disney's other future new animated movies, based on Astro Boy(Atom) of Osamu Tezuka, in the long term.
No, The Lion King is not based on Jungle Emperor whatsoever, since it's a lion version of Hamlet and a love letter to Africa, while Kimba is a pro-colonialism, racist-filled story about "civilizing the savages". At this point everyone should be aware of this.
Now it is Lion Guard vs Mufasa story
This is cool but it retcons the original story. They should have made a whole different lion movie about this.
Actually if Mufasa was the one who got named King over Scar and their father died then it does make more sense why Scar/Taka thought he deserved it, because Mufasa literally was given privilege over him, he became jealous, but in the original admits that Mufasa had something over him (considering Scar is pretty scrawny and if Scar was supposed to be king first, it would have to imply Scar is older than Mufasa.) I don't know if its said he is or not, but he should be. Scar was jealous. Its why he didnt care to see Simba presented to the kingdom.
I have a feeling a lot of this set up is going to lead up to Simba’s pride. The retelling of events, showing why there’s a divide in the pride (the outsiders) and why they support Scar. All of it leading up to Kovu and why he is Scar’s heir. Whether they’re going to change it and actually make him Scar’s son or not, unsure. Probably why they made Scar and Mufasa not biological brothers in this. Tho I’m sure they’ll show more of Scar’s decline in the next movie as it feels like we’re not going to get enough time to really delve into it in “Mufasa”.
6:12 my guess is that they're using some actual lion facts for that plotline. Lions in the wild (male lions atleast) leave their pride once fully grown and venture far away to start their own pride. It helps avoid inbreeding
R.I.P James Earl Jones
I wish they would just animate it instead of using CGI. They will never be as expressive as in animation
I hope they can keep the lore of scar's past they made in the lion guard cannon 'cause that would be interesting :3
"I always wanted a brothaaa, I always wanted a brothaaa!"
Just so where clear I came up with this idea first that they came from two different royal families and that mufasa’s would be the one who ends up with his original family
Honestly though if this film is all about Rafiki telling Kiara Mufasa's story ... I feel like they'll have to do a 3rd movie called Simba's Pride to show the story of Zira and Kovu.
Also, there's a scene of Timon and Pumbaa battling Scar
So I feel like Timon and Pumbaa will be telling Kiara their version of the Battle at Pride Rock... and Rafiki will come in and tell the real story from the beginning
3:44 THE SNORT
I love the idea of Kiros, but how has no one made a Kimba the white lion reference to him yet?😂😅
I hope this movie explains Scar's relationship with Zaira and his adoption of Kovu as his son.
They have a better chance at interesting people like this, by doing more original storylines with the CGI version than adapting the old 2D animated movies because then people can judge it separately as its own things. And hopefully they get more seasoned voice actors and not go with too many pop-singers voicing the characters. But Timone, Scar Pumba, and Simba did have good voices.
Kind of funny the story involves a villain white lion after years of debate whether Kimber the white lion was the original story before the lion king lol
Im excited for this one
A Taka movie would work great, actually. A lot of films are taking old villains and looking deeper into their behavior and giving them more emotional depth. A whole story about why a villain becomes a villain is basically the Star Wars prequels. Without the terrible dialogue and hammy acting, they would have been more likeable for that reason. I think these sorts of psychological dives into character are more interesting.
I'm probably not going to pay to see this though.
If they do make another one after this i hope it mixes Lion Guard and Simba's Pride.
I was on Cinema 1994 when i was kid when i saw the first Lion king! For me this is like mindblowing! All i wanna know now is why did scar be so angry and want to kill his brother! I hope those answers will show!
NGL am kinda of excited for it more then Sonic the Hedgehog 3
And the visual are a massive improvement over the 2019 flim
Really? Even if the lions's expressions are a bit creepy and in the uncanny valley? Even if Scar being nice makes no sense? Even if Mufasa is NOT a prince and a stray? The backgrounds have more color... it's great but not enough to make a good movie 😐
@@ladypool1404 Opinions bro. Yours included.
@ladypool Given that the 2019 were creepier and a lot more boring bc of how expressionless they were. As for Scar being nice, they are doing this thing called a villain origin story, and I think it actually makes more sense why Mufasa allows Scar to stick around despite Scar not contributing much to the Pride by the time Simba is born.
@@islasullivan3463 true but Dolittle, The One and Only Ivan and the Call of the Wild did the samething
In real life, male lions are usually forced out of their pride to go find one of their own once they're old enough to hunt for themselves. It's also very common for brothers to travel together. This is probably what is happening in the scene where the queen seems to be chasing them out to find their place in the circle of life. Which is weird but alright sure.
Honestly, not a fan of the idea of Mufasa not being the legit older brother of Taka at all. It makes no sense in context of how he acts in the original and while I never saw the 'live action' one I can't imagine his characterization was much different. While I wouldn't necessarily say he was a-hole he was definitely an 'older brother' in the way he kind of bullied and used his bulk to put Scar in his place. A lot of people tend to forget the fact that yeah... Mufasa was kind of an entitled brute. So having him be some orphan and not at all related to Taka is bizarre to me. Their whole dynamic was based on Mufasa being the jockish big brother to Scars more intellectual little brother, which isn't really something that works the same when they aren't biologically related.
Mufasa wasn’t born in this royal family and took scars throne (by challenging him, fair and square). It’s like actual lions do.
The movie looks so real I can’t tell if some shots are real or if it’s all computer generated.
I hate how similar they look i barely can see the difference between Taka and Mufasa
Your theory is good and I think they probably use an actual lion behavior that bachelor males will sometimes stick together in groups of 2-4 while they’re just leaving their og pride and sometimes they establish a pride together though this can go 3 ways the biggest male is the only one who can reproduce and the spare is tolerated for being extra muscle but there’s a boundary (tho sometimes they sneak and produce children anyway which why they stick around too) sometimes they literally are all sharing and it works out or last once they find a pride they fight and the winner drives off the loser(s). And ofc the first two can end up in the last situation. I’d add quickly too that when a male looses his spot in the pride and a new male takes over his first order of business is to end all the cubs from that male. I think they’ll perhaps have the brothers leave Takas pride together mimicking this irl behavior in either a go on boys start your own lives or now that you’re grown take help mufasa find where he came from quest and then have more G rated conflict around the factors in the other two scenarios in an anthropomorphic way jealousy of power or something like that.
Disney is about get destroyed by sonic 3
This is basically gonna Have the Same Brothers turned Enemy's plot as Transformers One but You know Crappy But looks Better then the first one Film and i cant tell there expressions :|
it looks like it will be fine enough.
but Scar had a british accent as adult, as a cub he has american accent
He CLEARLY had a British accent in the trailer
I agree!SO:PLEASE NO MORE!Remakes are like trying to get money the easy way,(And if that is enough it furthers the sterotype that Animation is only for kids by having this "REMADE" in live-action to be more "adult"(their pointless more often than not).The worst part is Disney started out as a ANIMATION STUDIO and are insulting the people who built the company to make bank,Listen FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU,....FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME.Remakes(most of them anyways) also stifle out actual creativity which could be used to create something new and not yet another repeat(Also technically its not live action because they would bother to use actual animals)......These types of remakesa re genuine Anti-Art.....so lets finnally stop being suckered and stop buying tickets to the latest remake and watch something that actually is worth it.
I'm watching it as it isn't a remake but something new and I don't mind the remakes as many kids never saw the original and can get them interested in it plus I take my family to see them and I like spending time with them when I can.
There's nothing wrong with Disney live action remakes
@@cjgamer6356 Except that there’s no vison to them
@@Gamerboss40YT They can just re-release the classics(They did that originally)That way showing them the true classics without tainting them with pale imitations...
@@Gamerboss40YT There's a vision with them
Pretty sure sometimes male lions kill cubs when they take over a pride, maybe that’s what happened to Mufasa’s Pride and perhaps that’s why the white lion is chasing him? Imagine if the white lion took over Taka’s pride too and Taka blamed Mufasa for it
Except there's the line from the OG film, " Where as far as brains go, I've got the lions share, but when it comes to brute strength. I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." Disney is truly making fools of themselves, insulting the much better works that they piggyback off of, and insulting the audiences intellegence.
My prediction is that Taka will get amnesia from the fight he will get his scar from. The amnesia will make him evil ‘n stuff (that’s in my opinion the only way they can logically change this goofy brother-loving lion into a murderer).
