    Scar's actual name is actually Taka, translated to 'garbage', so honestly I can't blame him for wanting to kill his family.

    Actually, if you rewatch the lion king, you’ll notice that simba defeating scar is 100% accurate. Even though simba didn’t have the tooth strength to beat scar in a battle of fangs. He didn’t have to bite scar to defeat him.
    Simba was losing miserably against scar. But, suddenly turned the tables by just simply kick flipping scar off the ledge. He beat scar with shear dumb luck and a lucky kick. No fangs needed at all.

      @xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx 2 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      As you can see, the reason how Simba defeated Scar and pushed him off the ledge is because he is physically-strong because of his daily routine of eating bugs for breakfast.
      Scar hasn't been paying attention to his health ever since he conquered the Pride Rock with his hyenas so the only redeeming trait of him is the fact that he possesses some sharper fangs due to age.

    In addition to his bug diet:
    Simba doesn't have to just eat ONE type of bug/insect. A few Mopane worms, a tetmit mound or two, a Giant Worm if he finds one, maybe some random beetles.

    • @TheSoullessImmortal
      @TheSoullessImmortal ปีที่แล้ว +8

      You can take the giant worm out, since they are extremely rare. Simba would hardly have a chance of finding at least one throughout his whole life and that’s the best case scenario. Just a few beetles, some grubs, a termite mound or two, and perhaps some smaller worms would do perfectly fine.

    1. Simba wasn't eating as much as a full grown Lion for probably 80% of the time he was away, as he was still growing.
    2. He didn't need to use his teeth in the final battle against Scar anyway, so he would've been just fine

    I’ve been watching sooo many of matpats older videos. Something I have to say about this one, simba wasn’t just eating a single type of bug. He was eating any bug that Timon and pumba found for him, he wasn’t picky about the type of bug he was eating so quantity was never actually an issue. Also about the tooth thing, he could’ve chewed on sticks or something to keep his teeth strong. Kind of like dogs do.

    • @ichigopockychan

    • @dsengupta6189
      @dsengupta6189 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      He could. Also termite mounds are literal fortresses. Very few animals, like aardvarks, are actually adapted to breaking into those rock-hard mounds. The rest of the termite eaters usually follow them around or eat the ones on the ground. If Simba has any chance of breaking into those mounds his teeth and claws would have to be strong.

      @@InkWaxstudios100 Yes in The Lion Guard Mufasa was the one who called Scar “Scar”. And Scar’s real name is “Taka” with means “Trash” is Swahili. His parents their second son (Scar) literal Trash and their First Son a cool name “Mufasa”.
      So Scar’s Parents gave him a bad name. And then his brother gave him a nickname that annoyed him.
      We don’t know if Scar liked the name “Taka” but let’s be honest, Who would like a name that means Trash!?
      I don’t think Scar actually hated his brother before Mufasa nicknamed him Scar. They might have been good brothers actually. Scar might have wanted to amaze his brother by killing the evil lion and his snake and saving them. But instead when Mufasa just laughed and nicknamed him Scar. That’s when Scar became Scar and Hated his brother.
      So this whole thing could’ve been avoided if Scar and Mufasa’s Parents just gave Scar a cool name and if Mufasa didn’t nickname him Scar
      But what’s the fun in that?

      Yeah I like this point... I also think it worth mentioning that even though his teeth probably wouldn't be as strong as other lions, Simba could have sort of maintained his jaw and teeth strength by gnawing on sticks, and maybe even bones he found lying around, without actually eating meat

    Here's another question. Excluding the sequels and spin offs(honestly just because I haven't seen them) do we even know when the lion king was supposed to take place? Modern lions could have emerged as long as five hundred thousand years ago. Possibly bugs and the giant earthworm could have been more plentiful. Along with other teeth sharpening methods, as far as a cartoon goes anyways, it could have been possible. Just pondering.

      Still, Scar run and hunts for his food. The most exercise Simba gets is digging through the ground and mounds to get bugs. He'll be greatly overpowered by Scar, who is a powerful lion who sharpens his teeth and runs everyday because he had no chance or need to do that in the jungle.
