It is Scar / Taka who is the real hero in this film. He saved Mufasa countless times but Mufasa couldn't sacrifice the throne to his brother. Scar got his scar saving Mufasa from the villain Kiros, the white lion, he also saved Mufasa from drowning at last. Guys, Scar is not the villain. He is the superhero in this film. He lost everything for Mufasa but Mufasa didn't pay him back. Thats why Scar became villain in The Lion King (2019). Circumstances made Scar villian otherwise he was such a nice heroic lion.
Lol it was literally Taka’s fault Kiros knew their location, the scar was the consequence of his own betrayal and he knew tht…y’all go watch the movie.
This movie is going to hurt. But I am going to pay Disney money to hurt me with Mufasa. 30 years after my parents paid for Disney to hurt me with Mufasa. I can't wait. MUFASA, MUFASA, MUFASA.
@@TSSTUDIOS958have you seen the original Lion King? Scar was very pure evil, didn't care about anyone else but himself, staged a plot to murder his older brother, used the Hyenas as pawns, banished Simba and took the throne, only later to be defeated and then killed after the Hyenas learned his true feelings towards them.
If I have to guess it's their way of trying to cover up trying to literally make scar in a relationship with zira. Because they literally were planning to make her his mate to which Michael Eisner found out and was like that's incest if you have both Kiara and kovu as cousins falling in Love. Despite changes made to this live action piece of crap. I still prefer the cartoon one over the live action piece of garbage they present us
Mufasa was born into a loving family that taught him well. He possessed a remarkable blend of wisdom, courage, intelligence, and love. Taka, on the other hand, inherited his jealous nature from his own father, a lazy individual who failed to instill proper values in him. Despite this, Taka retained a spark of goodness, a legacy from his mother. Fate, however, intertwined their lives. Taka was destined to play a crucial role in saving Mufasa, who was born to be king. Mufasa, in turn, united all the animals of his homeland and ascended to the throne.
@@ragadalfaqeeh7922 The Lion aren't afraid of anything. They actually feel disgusted to hyena that's why specially male lion try to ki*l and they don't even eat hyenas meat.
@@Netherriteswordhaaa. I love what they are going for with this story - because neither of them will be at fault. Taka seems to be a young compassionate prince who loves Mufasa dearly, but is also targeted by the white lions who are going after all the other prides in Savanna to be the only leading clan. Taka and Mufasa are on the run, which means that Taka's family is most likely slaughtered, and when they meet Sarabi and both fall in love with her (something Scar states in Lion King 2019), she chooses Mufasa, so again, Taka lost his home and then his love to his brother. Then on top of that the white lion king probably wants to duel Taka for his title, but Mufasa steps in for him because he wants to protect him from harm, but because he probably wins the duel and kills the white king, he gets the title of the lion king over Taka. Either that or Mufasa claims the title over his own pride which he came from. So, Taka lost his home, and then his love and title to his brother. All that while his brother still loved him unconditionally and was just trying to protect him. That is tragic. And makes sense why he would be bitter about it and turn into Scar we know.
No scar was not broken. Mufasa was better then him, thats make him jealous .. And he betrayed mufasa even in this movie but eventually helped him..And mufasa forgive him .
@nguyendanger3840 Well not just that but the multiple Transformers comics and the Aligned continuity/Transformers Prime series, the recent Transformers Earthspark and let us no forget the War for Cybertron videogame and Netflix series and the Machinima/ RoosterTeeth Trilogy.
I’m another who’s here after the passing of James Earl Jones. R.I.P. to the King of Pride Rock, Mufasa. His voice was the best in Hollywood. A legend who’ll never be forgotten. I’m sure the end credits in some way will dedicate it to being in the Loving Memory of James Earl Jones.
@@pdxcorgidad The CGI seems better in this one than the first one, the lions move *mostly* in a heavier way and in a way that is like the real life animal (see the headbump. The growling and some of the running shots aren’t that good though) but the animals also have much more noteable expressions and are a little bit more stylized to make it work. The cameras are kinda jank and ruin some of the reality feeling by the fact that live action has more limited camera placements. It feels pretty much like nonsense as an actual prequel, I’m willing to bet this was partially someone or multiple people seeing the chance to animate their Lion King OC's and put it on the big screen when the executives were like 'okay we need to milk this franchise further and uh I guess something new?'. The leucistic lions sell me a bit more on that idea. You can. Kinda tell Mufasa and Scar apart? Scar being paler and Mufasa being golden One of those cases where it seems intresting enough as a standalone in the universe or an alternative way to interpret their story, but is hindered by what would feel like an actually good prequel.
i liked the part where the lion said "there will be one Lion King" and then looked directly into the camera. this subtly hints at the fact that this is a lion king movie
2:00 notice how mufasa said “im here to protect you my brother” so he knew scar was gonna be the king and was gonna protect him with his life, this story line will be very interesting
So maybe he wins the title in a duel with the white king while his intention was to protect Taka as he's physically weaker than Mufasa? Could make sense and make it actually selfless.
@@Altherot That would make sense. Perhaps Mufasa giving Taka the scar was unintentional just like how Obi Wan Kenobi accidentally injured Anakin. Just imagine a scene like the that heartbreaking scene in Star Wars Revenge Of The Sith where Anakin tells Obi Wan he hates him.
It is impressive how far we have come with technology, cgi, etc- But 2d animation has more CHARACTER. This would be an even bigger hit as a 2d animated film imo
OG Disney animation goes HARD. Alladin, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, Treasure Planet, Princess and the Frog, Atlantis, The Hunchback of Notre Damn....
I don’t know there are lots, and I mean like lots of lots of people who have an aversion to animated stuff. To them all they see is a “cartoon” along the lines of Tom & Jerry or Pepe LePew.
@@afroqueen698 yeah in present day...that doesn't account for the decades of animated content already out there as well as whats shown on TV. That is what forms peoples opinion
If you remove the water at 2:18, it looks like the location Mufasa died. The tree instantly transported me to that scene. Disney out to break my heart all over again.
The gorge used to be a waterfall?!! You are smart, bruv! I didn't realize that they are trying to retcon the place where Mufasa was killed by Scar as the place where the former was also rescued by the latter.
That's what i'm SAYING, they definitely were aware of the criticism; the first movie was trash and non-memorable because the animals never emoted (not even like real animals do).
On one hand I agree on the other it could make it more intense as taka chose and fought to make mufasa his brother despite his parents wishes not to so for mufasa to basically betray taka and take the crown despite it being destined for taka them growing resentful of the brother he chose who wouldn’t be here without him to the point he kills his could be good but also is Disney so who knows
@@Layla14978Exactly, their relationship is now even more interesting and tragic because they have a bond not through blood, but through love. Taka loved Mufasa and was excited to have a friend/brother and adopted him when Mufasa had no home. So in the end, Scar killed the person he loved the most. The person he grew up with and would die for. Which makes waiting for his turn more insane as we have no idea how will Mufasa surpass him to get the title and how will Taka grow his resentment for him.
@@Layla14978 @Altherot either way, it's a big retcon considering that Disney made literal books back in the day about Taka and Mufasa's childhood, confirming that they were actually biological brothers. Edit: Also, in the original film, they make references to being biological brothers. "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born", "Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength...I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."
@@samanthaecotothermia7896 When Scar says "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born" he was referring to Simba, not Mufasa. And when he's talking about having the brains vs brute strength, there's nothing there that unequivocally says he and Mufasa are related by blood. He's just saying he's not as strong as Mufasa. So in terms of movie canon, Disney is not reconning anything. Books are a whole different thing. Disney Publishing puts out books based on Disney IP all the time, but it doesn't mean that all of that new material being published is officially canon for the movies.
@@Layla14978 The thing is though, there are multiple prides and multiple kings/queens. The story seems to be about Mufasa finding his lost pride and becoming king, like he was supposed to be before he "got lost" and Taka is being written as from an entirely different pride altogether. Some could argue the white lions are his pride and he ends up not going back because of that, but Mufasa being the only golden lion from that whole pride wouldn't make sense at all. The betrayal was all because Mufasa "Took Scar's rightful place" but that's not even the case here because they both had rightful places as kings in this version. And if not, then scar could definitely have left for another pride to become king of. So if they weren't blood brothers and instead just childhood friends, the weight of Scar's betrayal in the first movie is weakened significantly because he had more options than we all originally believed. Scar didn't have as much reason to grow bitter of his friend becoming king of a pride that Scar wasn't even from.
37 years old now, I saw The Lion King when I was 8 years old, the best movie ever and I saw it at least 100 times as a child. My daughter is now 9 years old and we will definitely see this movie together.
Mufasa: The Lion King review: 'Pointless' and a 'contrived cash-in'. This prequel to a re-make "never picks up momentum" - "Don't the talented artists involved have anything better to do with their time?" When the CEO of Disney announced in February that the studio would start relying more on "sequels and franchises", he wasn't joking. Already this year, we've had Inside Out 2 and Moana 2, and now we have Mufasa: The Lion King, a prequel to 2019's photorealistic remake of 1994's much-loved cartoon. Yes, we're talking about a prequel to a remake. And, yes, it's as pointless as that description makes it sound. This contrived cash-in may be worth sitting through on Disney+ if you're a Lion King superfan, but, like so many prequels, it devotes tremendous amounts of thought and energy to answering questions that nobody was asking in the first place. When did Simba's dad Mufasa meet his wife Sarabi? Where did Rafiki the mandrill get his walking stick? How did Zazu the hornbill become Mufasa's right-hand man (or, I suppose, right-paw bird)? The film is directed by Barry Jenkins, who made the Oscar-winning Moonlight, and the songs are by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the most feted Hollywood and Broadway songwriter of his generation, so a more pressing question might be: don't the supremely talented artists involved have anything better to do with their time? The big question the film answers, however, is how a lowly lion named Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) found his way to the idyllic Pride Lands with a friend who would become known as Scar (Kelvin Harrison Jr) - and I can guarantee that nobody had been asking that question, because it contradicts everything that was established in The Lion King. If you remember, the whole point of the original film was that Mufasa's son Simba was the latest in a long line of monarchs who had protected the Pride Lands for generations, and that Mufasa's younger brother Scar was annoyed about his place in the pecking order. But presumably somebody at Disney became uncomfortable with that feudal premise, so they've scrapped it in favour of a more complicated and egalitarian origin story. The trouble is that this democratic new version fits the lore so badly that the producers might as well have renamed their film Mufasa: The Lion Prime Minister. It's as bad as Padmé being "elected" as the queen of her planet when she was a 14-year-old girl in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Anyway, the film opens with the news that Simba (Donald Glover) and his wife Nala (Beyoncé) are about to have another cub, so they disappear into a forest without telling their daughter Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter) where they're going or why. (The motivation behind this bizarrely bad bit of parenting is never explained.) Kiara's babysitters are Timon the meerkat (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa the warthog (Seth Rogen), and together they sit in a cave while Rafiki (John Kani) tells her about her grandfather Mufasa. After this unnecessarily long and complicated set-up, the main plot gets underway. (Spoiler ahead) The film is all about lions talking to other lions while being pursued by yet more lions, so it can be visually monotonous - it can also be challenging to keep track of which lion is which
Perhaps Mufasa somehow set him up and got the throne 🤔 although it doesn’t matter. It makes sense that the Outsiders would have a scar, and Disney would have the chance to make him a broken villain who is only humiliated... that would make more sense than with Mufasa... If Mufasa is the Outsider, then he shouldn't be king, but Taka

Yes, I completely agree, the characters would have been way more expressive. It’s sad how Disney doesn’t have the resources to do that now, only different CGi styles, and of course they chose this one since it’s the same as the 2019 movie. I mean, they literally had to find retired animators to draw Marry Poppins 2…
dude, after seeing this I can see why scar wanted to kill mufasa. Imagine being the blood heir to the throne, and then ur brother takes it. Even has kids. You have none and become skinny and ugly and get a whole scar. I'd do the same thing honestly, look at how he sings "I've always wanted a brother, I've always wanted a brother!" How saddening. Then you're brothers son is born, and boom ur not next to the throne after ur brother either. I'd kill him too icl
Apparently we have to forget this line ever happened: "As far as brains go I got the lions share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm on the shallow end of the gene pool." Scar and Mufasa are actual blood brothers
Hmm ... it doesn't invalidate the line, technically speaking, but the original read is definitely a strong implication. For example, we could perhaps read "gene pool" in reference to lions _as a species_ -- in which case Scar's basically claiming he's in the top percentage of all lions for intelligence but not brute strength.
Idk I've referenced the gene pool when talking about friends that don't have diabetes, like I do. I don't think it 100% means they HAD to be brothers by blood. But you are right that, at the time, we all assumed that's what he meant.
Something that the producer from the original Lion King Don Hahn stated back in 2017 so there goes that... "Occasionally there are prides that do have two male lions, in an interesting dynamic because they're not equals [since they don't have the same parents]," Hahn continued. "One lion will always kind of be off in the shadows. We were trying to use those animal truths to underpin the story so we sort of figured Scar and Mufasa couldn't really be from the same gene pool." So when Mufasa refers to Scar as his brother, it's only because they're part of the same pride. According to Hahn, Scar even hints at this in the movie with the line, "I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool."
@@cjwoliver1647Then you’re using the term incorrectly. No normal human has ever looked at their friends and considered them in a “gene pool.” Thats just weird and wrong.
Taka looks so kind, courageous and compassionate in this. Hard to believe how he descended into a murderous lion who killed the same lion whom he regarded as a brother since young
Do you realize this is made by a different people and has nothing in common with original story? Just another Disney project to make profit out of nostalgia.
I was 5 when i watched lion king in theaters still remember it. Took my 5 year old nephew to see Mufasa today and bro watched like 30 minutes total. These future generations are done for
@sonaldon-u8i white lions do exist naturally in Africa (they're extremely rare though). They arent a different species though, just a color variation of the african lion (panthera leo) but with leucism, which basically means they have less pigmentation. Also a "snow lion" is tibet myth, not a real lion. Sorry for nerding out
I'm really impressed with the animation. They finally realized that Africa isn't a dried-up, dead wasteland of dead plants everywhere. That was one of the main things I hated about the original remake. They designed the backgrounds to look like how Americans _think_ Africa looks like, and not how it _actually_ looks like. They finally realized that you're allowed to use more colors than just brown.
True, my friend in Africa lives near a jungle and hills, and not the same, but much like how people think Alaska is all snow and igloos, even Americans often think that lol! Explains why tourists are so in awe when they come here even though some of us have nice homes, cars etc lol!

Whatever anyone else says about this movie, look on the bright side. This is CLEARLY not a carbon copy of a story that was already told perfectly the first time, and it has that over the first movie.
Yet there was already lore for pre-lion king where they were indeed brothers and scar / taka suffered from 2nd son syndrome. Mufasa was born a true aire and is from a long line of kings who lived in pride rock. So this move threw all that out
@@firestrike001 That it’s not realistic to have a movie with taking lions to be considered live action. This is just a 3D version of the 2D animation which also had some CGI
@@carteranimationz2897 they used to like Babe , racing stripes, charlottes web and there pride of 2004 which was real lions but off course like the movies above had jim hebson puppets
@@jeffescanto They're cartoon lions who run a fantastical animal monarchy atop a big ass rock lair. One lion sounds like Darth Vader and the other one sounds like a British Pope. They have a hornbill for a courtier, and a mandrill baboon acting as royal shamanic priest. We're not operating with real world rules here.
That's the definition of betrayal. Enemies cannot betray you, since you already expect the worst from them. Plus enemies are sometimes even your post-betrayal former friends/family.
THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING! I just came back from the cinema and felt like a happy child in 1994 when I was 4 years old and went to see the first Lion King. Same feeling, today I laughed, cried, got emotional at the first note of the song. I recommend it to everyone! Bravo to the creators, dubbing artists, everyone and Bravo Disney! 🦁✨
Finally someone in these comments who appreciates the film! I understand it’s cgi instead of animated which people love about the og Lion King, but it’s still an amazing movie ❤
The concept of this story is giving RAMESES AND MOSES. You would think Taka deserved to be a king because he is the real son, but sometimes great leadership doesn’t come naturally because you’re born Royal. Taka was meant to be a King but Mufasa deserved to be a King. Taka grew with envy and entitlement and didnt handle rejection and defeat professionally. This movie isnt made to make Mufasa as the bad guy instead we just need to understand The story why Scar had hatred towards Mufasa.
@@tomascastilloleyton6848 yeah, Mufasa is actually a wholesome character which they try to tamper with in this new adaptation by making him a stray . In the original series, Mufasa actually was born in royalty and was blood brother of Scar. If you look at their mother in the original adaptation, their mother has the rounder facial features and smile just like Mufasa and the dark circles and darker skin like Scar .
Why did he deserve it? Scar obviously became a villian after he was robbed of his birth right. You can see that scar loved and cherished Mufasa...its crazy because not only did Mufasa take his place as king he also banished scar from his home. If you ask me Mufasa is just as much a villian as scar was
Mufasa: "Scar... help me!" (Scar sinks his claws into Mufasa's paws, causing Mufasa to groan in pain) Mufasa: "Brother... why?!" Scar: "We WERE brothers once. ONCE. But then, you, the lost cub who I made the mistake of saving all those years ago, stole the throne that was MY birthright! Now, I'm taking back what is mine. Long live the KING!" (Scar knocks Mufasa into the wildebeest stampede)
@@nananyantakyi1549 Wrong. The young Taka (not yet Scar) is clearly shown mentioning to his father in this trailer that he saved the young Mufasa's life.
He doesn't steal the throne that is his birthright. They travel to mufasas home. He gives up his birthright to hang out with his adopted bro, then has regret
I can't believe taka is finally canon name for scar after many years of lion king fans making up a name for him like that. And it's finally coming true!
@@TheChicken7576 we roughly answered at the same time ^^ I believe it is the book you mentioned, I badly remembered the 'Six new Adventures' series to be comics and not novels , I read them a long time ago 😅
Mufasa: Do not turn your back on me Scar Scar: Oh no Mufasa. Perhaps YOU shouldn't turn your back on me. I've literally been waiting for over a decade to find the history behind those words.
Simba returning to the Pride Lands was made all the more impactful by the fact that the RIGHTFUL heir has returned home, they just destroyed that premise and everybody is cheering
Anyone else not digging this AT ALL? Mufasa always exuded such old blood, pride and nobility and to find out he was just some random orphan is a slap in the face
Same feels here. I WILL watch this movie, seems cool enough and I love TLK especially Mufasa. But it feels like alter version rather than actual prequel to actual original. It's probably not even canonical to 1994 movie living the og brothers related and these from new version not
The plot seems kinda accurate for a male lion's life compared to TLK except for the adopted orphan thing which is bothering me. It throws away the ecological realism made for this story.
The Scar and Mufasa relationship gives me Moses and Ramses or Thor and Loki vibes... One always meant to be the leader, the other adopted into the family, but they grew up with deep love for each other, but then relationship turned sour and they became bitter enemies.
Despite not caring much for the first live action reboot, the expressiveness on the character's faces in this trailer, plus it being a new story, is really selling me on it. Getting excited for this in a way I didn't expect!
I expected nothing from it but this genuinely looks like it could be good. I hated the lion king remake with a passion but the animation in this actually looks decent and has a soul and actual visible expressions
As someone who grew up watching the original 1994 Lion King, I'll admit I was skeptical in watching this. Although after watching it, I was very pleased and feel they did a great job in this movie. It was nice to understand more of the back story of Mufasa and his brother Scar, I strongly believe they did a great job on this movie. If you grew up watching the original Lion King and liked it, I recommend watching this movie.
How freaking old is Rafiki? I swear that monkeys been alive for like that whole families bloodline.
Rafiki is a mandrill. The lifespan of mandrills is about 20-40 years.
To be fair Lions grow up pretty fast, they're already mature in like 5 years. Mandrills can live up to be 40 so
Well to be fair lions live for 15-20 years. Whereas, mandrills live for almost 40.

@@silashurd3597 Oh, that’s right, Scar said “I wouldn’t dream of challenging you. Again.” They did fight over becoming a king before Simba.
Mufasa was born into a loving family that taught him well. He possessed a remarkable blend of wisdom, courage, intelligence, and love. Taka, on the other hand, inherited his jealous nature from his own father, a lazy individual who failed to instill proper values in him. Despite this, Taka retained a spark of goodness, a legacy from his mother. Fate, however, intertwined their lives. Taka was destined to play a crucial role in saving Mufasa, who was born to be king. Mufasa, in turn, united all the animals of his homeland and ascended to the throne.

@@Netherriteswordhaaa. I love what they are going for with this story - because neither of them will be at fault. Taka seems to be a young compassionate prince who loves Mufasa dearly, but is also targeted by the white lions who are going after all the other prides in Savanna to be the only leading clan. Taka and Mufasa are on the run, which means that Taka's family is most likely slaughtered, and when they meet Sarabi and both fall in love with her (something Scar states in Lion King 2019), she chooses Mufasa, so again, Taka lost his home and then his love to his brother. Then on top of that the white lion king probably wants to duel Taka for his title, but Mufasa steps in for him because he wants to protect him from harm, but because he probably wins the duel and kills the white king, he gets the title of the lion king over Taka. Either that or Mufasa claims the title over his own pride which he came from.
So, Taka lost his home, and then his love and title to his brother. All that while his brother still loved him unconditionally and was just trying to protect him. That is tragic. And makes sense why he would be bitter about it and turn into Scar we know.

@@Beautifullytragic6 Exactly.
@@pdxcorgidad
The CGI seems better in this one than the first one, the lions move *mostly* in a heavier way and in a way that is like the real life animal (see the headbump. The growling and some of the running shots aren’t that good though) but the animals also have much more noteable expressions and are a little bit more stylized to make it work. The cameras are kinda jank and ruin some of the reality feeling by the fact that live action has more limited camera placements.
It feels pretty much like nonsense as an actual prequel, I’m willing to bet this was partially someone or multiple people seeing the chance to animate their Lion King OC's and put it on the big screen when the executives were like 'okay we need to milk this franchise further and uh I guess something new?'. The leucistic lions sell me a bit more on that idea.
You can. Kinda tell Mufasa and Scar apart? Scar being paler and Mufasa being golden
One of those cases where it seems intresting enough as a standalone in the universe or an alternative way to interpret their story, but is hindered by what would feel like an actually good prequel.

It does look better, but it is a relatively new form of animation, so I am sure it will improve even more. 😎
Its not failed, its design to be that way and they learn that market doesnt like it
Agreed
You can just view it as a sequel to the original film, let's not think about the 2019 one 😅
You know, I feel like this really diminishes the betrayal of Scar to make a movie and be like "oh yeah, they weren't blood brothers"
On one hand I agree on the other it could make it more intense as taka chose and fought to make mufasa his brother despite his parents wishes not to so for mufasa to basically betray taka and take the crown despite it being destined for taka them growing resentful of the brother he chose who wouldn’t be here without him to the point he kills his could be good but also is Disney so who knows
@@Layla14978Exactly, their relationship is now even more interesting and tragic because they have a bond not through blood, but through love. Taka loved Mufasa and was excited to have a friend/brother and adopted him when Mufasa had no home.
So in the end, Scar killed the person he loved the most. The person he grew up with and would die for.
Which makes waiting for his turn more insane as we have no idea how will Mufasa surpass him to get the title and how will Taka grow his resentment for him.
@@Layla14978 @Altherot either way, it's a big retcon considering that Disney made literal books back in the day about Taka and Mufasa's childhood, confirming that they were actually biological brothers.
Edit: Also, in the original film, they make references to being biological brothers. "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born", "Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength...I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."
@@samanthaecotothermia7896 When Scar says "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born" he was referring to Simba, not Mufasa. And when he's talking about having the brains vs brute strength, there's nothing there that unequivocally says he and Mufasa are related by blood. He's just saying he's not as strong as Mufasa. So in terms of movie canon, Disney is not reconning anything. Books are a whole different thing. Disney Publishing puts out books based on Disney IP all the time, but it doesn't mean that all of that new material being published is officially canon for the movies.
@@Layla14978 The thing is though, there are multiple prides and multiple kings/queens. The story seems to be about Mufasa finding his lost pride and becoming king, like he was supposed to be before he "got lost" and Taka is being written as from an entirely different pride altogether. Some could argue the white lions are his pride and he ends up not going back because of that, but Mufasa being the only golden lion from that whole pride wouldn't make sense at all. The betrayal was all because Mufasa "Took Scar's rightful place" but that's not even the case here because they both had rightful places as kings in this version. And if not, then scar could definitely have left for another pride to become king of. So if they weren't blood brothers and instead just childhood friends, the weight of Scar's betrayal in the first movie is weakened significantly because he had more options than we all originally believed. Scar didn't have as much reason to grow bitter of his friend becoming king of a pride that Scar wasn't even from.

Mufasa: The Lion King review: 'Pointless' and a 'contrived cash-in'.
This prequel to a re-make "never picks up momentum" - "Don't the talented artists involved have anything better to do with their time?"
When the CEO of Disney announced in February that the studio would start relying more on "sequels and franchises", he wasn't joking. Already this year, we've had Inside Out 2 and Moana 2, and now we have Mufasa: The Lion King, a prequel to 2019's photorealistic remake of 1994's much-loved cartoon.
Yes, we're talking about a prequel to a remake. And, yes, it's as pointless as that description makes it sound. This contrived cash-in may be worth sitting through on Disney+ if you're a Lion King superfan, but, like so many prequels, it devotes tremendous amounts of thought and energy to answering questions that nobody was asking in the first place. When did Simba's dad Mufasa meet his wife Sarabi? Where did Rafiki the mandrill get his walking stick? How did Zazu the hornbill become Mufasa's right-hand man (or, I suppose, right-paw bird)? The film is directed by Barry Jenkins, who made the Oscar-winning Moonlight, and the songs are by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the most feted Hollywood and Broadway songwriter of his generation, so a more pressing question might be: don't the supremely talented artists involved have anything better to do with their time?
The big question the film answers, however, is how a lowly lion named Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) found his way to the idyllic Pride Lands with a friend who would become known as Scar (Kelvin Harrison Jr) - and I can guarantee that nobody had been asking that question, because it contradicts everything that was established in The Lion King. If you remember, the whole point of the original film was that Mufasa's son Simba was the latest in a long line of monarchs who had protected the Pride Lands for generations, and that Mufasa's younger brother Scar was annoyed about his place in the pecking order. But presumably somebody at Disney became uncomfortable with that feudal premise, so they've scrapped it in favour of a more complicated and egalitarian origin story. The trouble is that this democratic new version fits the lore so badly that the producers might as well have renamed their film Mufasa: The Lion Prime Minister. It's as bad as Padmé being "elected" as the queen of her planet when she was a 14-year-old girl in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
Anyway, the film opens with the news that Simba (Donald Glover) and his wife Nala (Beyoncé) are about to have another cub, so they disappear into a forest without telling their daughter Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter) where they're going or why. (The motivation behind this bizarrely bad bit of parenting is never explained.) Kiara's babysitters are Timon the meerkat (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa the warthog (Seth Rogen), and together they sit in a cave while Rafiki (John Kani) tells her about her grandfather Mufasa. After this unnecessarily long and complicated set-up, the main plot gets underway. (Spoiler ahead)
The film is all about lions talking to other lions while being pursued by yet more lions, so it can be visually monotonous - it can also be challenging to keep track of which lion is which

@@ramirezproductions0826”I always wanted a sister”
Apparently we have to forget this line ever happened: "As far as brains go I got the lions share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm on the shallow end of the gene pool." Scar and Mufasa are actual blood brothers
Hmm ... it doesn't invalidate the line, technically speaking, but the original read is definitely a strong implication.
For example, we could perhaps read "gene pool" in reference to lions _as a species_ -- in which case Scar's basically claiming he's in the top percentage of all lions for intelligence but not brute strength.
In the 2019 version, Scar left out the gene pool part. So that's probably why they were able to get away with this sequel/prequel.
Idk I've referenced the gene pool when talking about friends that don't have diabetes, like I do. I don't think it 100% means they HAD to be brothers by blood. But you are right that, at the time, we all assumed that's what he meant.
Something that the producer from the original Lion King Don Hahn stated back in 2017 so there goes that...
"Occasionally there are prides that do have two male lions, in an interesting dynamic because they're not equals [since they don't have the same parents]," Hahn continued. "One lion will always kind of be off in the shadows. We were trying to use those animal truths to underpin the story so we sort of figured Scar and Mufasa couldn't really be from the same gene pool."
So when Mufasa refers to Scar as his brother, it's only because they're part of the same pride.
According to Hahn, Scar even hints at this in the movie with the line, "I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool."
@@cjwoliver1647Then you’re using the term incorrectly. No normal human has ever looked at their friends and considered them in a “gene pool.” Thats just weird and wrong.

Absolutely that movie is peak @@Chris_Thorndyke
I'm really impressed with the animation. They finally realized that Africa isn't a dried-up, dead wasteland of dead plants everywhere. That was one of the main things I hated about the original remake. They designed the backgrounds to look like how Americans _think_ Africa looks like, and not how it _actually_ looks like. They finally realized that you're allowed to use more colors than just brown.
True, my friend in Africa lives near a jungle and hills, and not the same, but much like how people think Alaska is all snow and igloos, even Americans often think that lol! Explains why tourists are so in awe when they come here even though some of us have nice homes, cars etc lol!

Whatever anyone else says about this movie, look on the bright side. This is CLEARLY not a carbon copy of a story that was already told perfectly the first time, and it has that over the first movie.
But is a prequel that no one ask for
Yet there was already lore for pre-lion king where they were indeed brothers and scar / taka suffered from 2nd son syndrome. Mufasa was born a true aire and is from a long line of kings who lived in pride rock. So this move threw all that out
nobody asked for an unfaithful prequel, classic hollywood being hollywood
@@MalonzeProductionsGamingTo be fair, it can be said it’s just a different continuity to the 2D version. So it’s not like it erases it.
@@motor4X4kombatare you sure about that?
Viewers: What's live action about the Lion King movie?
Disney: The ground.
Pretty much lol!
Even the ground is CGI 🤣
And instead they should have hired real lions to act in the movie? Not sure what your point is.
@@firestrike001 That it’s not realistic to have a movie with taking lions to be considered live action. This is just a 3D version of the 2D animation which also had some CGI
@@carteranimationz2897 they used to like Babe , racing stripes, charlottes web and there pride of 2004 which was real lions but off course like the movies above had jim hebson puppets

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies
Edit- that's why it is one of the unforgivable curse in reality
Well yeah... Duhh
It's like to say the greatest thing about surprise is that you never see that coming
That's the definition of betrayal.
Enemies cannot betray you, since you already expect the worst from them.
Plus enemies are sometimes even your post-betrayal former friends/family.
That's the concept of "Betrayal" !
Yeah, no kidding. That is what ''betrayal'' is.

THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING!
I just came back from the cinema and felt like a happy child in 1994 when I was 4 years old and went to see the first Lion King.
Same feeling, today I laughed, cried, got emotional at the first note of the song. I recommend it to everyone! Bravo to the creators, dubbing artists, everyone and Bravo Disney! 🦁✨
Finally someone in these comments who appreciates the film! I understand it’s cgi instead of animated which people love about the og Lion King, but it’s still an amazing movie ❤
Young Scar: I always want to be a king....I mean brother (in a British accent)
Old Scar: Long live the king
The concept of this story is giving RAMESES AND MOSES. You would think Taka deserved to be a king because he is the real son, but sometimes great leadership doesn’t come naturally because you’re born Royal. Taka was meant to be a King but Mufasa deserved to be a King. Taka grew with envy and entitlement and didnt handle rejection and defeat professionally. This movie isnt made to make Mufasa as the bad guy instead we just need to understand The story why Scar had hatred towards Mufasa.
Good to see people that doesn't try to simpatize and justify the villain.
@@tomascastilloleyton6848 yeah, Mufasa is actually a wholesome character which they try to tamper with in this new adaptation by making him a stray . In the original series, Mufasa actually was born in royalty and was blood brother of Scar. If you look at their mother in the original adaptation, their mother has the rounder facial features and smile just like Mufasa and the dark circles and darker skin like Scar .
This is a very smart way to put it.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why did he deserve it? Scar obviously became a villian after he was robbed of his birth right. You can see that scar loved and cherished Mufasa...its crazy because not only did Mufasa take his place as king he also banished scar from his home. If you ask me Mufasa is just as much a villian as scar was
@@Funnyclipsifindontheinternet
Mufasa never banished Scar
Mufasa: "Scar... help me!"
(Scar sinks his claws into Mufasa's paws, causing Mufasa to groan in pain)
Mufasa: "Brother... why?!"
Scar: "We WERE brothers once. ONCE. But then, you, the lost cub who I made the mistake of saving all those years ago, stole the throne that was MY birthright! Now, I'm taking back what is mine. Long live the KING!"
(Scar knocks Mufasa into the wildebeest stampede)
Really? Didn't Mufasa save scar?
@@nananyantakyi1549 Wrong. The young Taka (not yet Scar) is clearly shown mentioning to his father in this trailer that he saved the young Mufasa's life.
Woah, spoiler alert!
@@DevidSword "Spoiler alert!", my left foot! It is shown in this very trailer.
He doesn't steal the throne that is his birthright. They travel to mufasas home. He gives up his birthright to hang out with his adopted bro, then has regret
Rafiki. Best character in The Lion King.
That "Long live the King" hit from Scar to Simba was really personal. I now see that.
MUFASA: I’m not a stray. I’m just….lost
😂
I can't believe taka is finally canon name for scar after many years of lion king fans making up a name for him like that. And it's finally coming true!
Well it started from the semi-canon books, "A Tale of Two Brothers"
But it is cool how the name stuck and the fandom considered it canon!
I believe it was mentioned in an old official comic but maybe im mistaken
@@firstEkoBy chance do you remember the name of the comic?
@@TheChicken7576Taco is the future king.🤣
@@TheChicken7576 we roughly answered at the same time ^^ I believe it is the book you mentioned, I badly remembered the 'Six new Adventures' series to be comics and not novels , I read them a long time ago 😅
the lion king : i hate scar
mufasa the lion king : gosh my taka , u poor thing.. i lov himm
Scar: “We were brothers once!”
Mufasa: “Once.”
Hey megaton said that optimus
Such a great scene from such a poor movie..
oh my poor lord Megatron how it PAINS me to see you so wounded....so weak
Mufasa: Do not turn your back on me Scar
Scar: Oh no Mufasa. Perhaps YOU shouldn't turn your back on me.
I've literally been waiting for over a decade to find the history behind those words.
yaah me too!
Yes because there scar didn't showed his back on mufasa
😮 wow
Mufasa: (steps in and growls) is that a challange?😠
from saving mufasa to killing mufasa
Simba returning to the Pride Lands was made all the more impactful by the fact that the RIGHTFUL heir has returned home, they just destroyed that premise and everybody is cheering
i agreeee
THIS. Now it makes Scar THE RIGHTFUL KING. And Now Mufasa is the Badguy hands down no one can change my mind.
@@KashaLupulbruh, you didn't even watch the movie yet.
It’s a kids movie, not real life.
@@RadiantSilverlighternice red herring fallacy
I watched this film 2 days ago and honestly loved it. Felt like a kid again. Highly recommend.
At least they got facial expressions
My first thought when I saw the thumbnail of them smiling
It's about time they got it right
Joe Young: Hello 👋
Are the facial expressions in the room with us?
@@DelicateRedRose watch the trailer again, then watch the one from the first movie...
Anyone else not digging this AT ALL? Mufasa always exuded such old blood, pride and nobility and to find out he was just some random orphan is a slap in the face
He's a cub. You expect him to be an old soul as a kid?
Same feels here. I WILL watch this movie, seems cool enough and I love TLK especially Mufasa. But it feels like alter version rather than actual prequel to actual original. It's probably not even canonical to 1994 movie living the og brothers related and these from new version not
The plot seems kinda accurate for a male lion's life compared to TLK except for the adopted orphan thing which is bothering me. It throws away the ecological realism made for this story.
His family could be pride rock royalty and he's just a young orphaned prince 🤷🏽♀️
@@jharris3110 Yeah there may be some plot twist where Takas family are responsible for making Mufasa an orphan or something
I'm getting "Prince of Egypt" vibes from the trailer. Adopted brothers who become enemies.
me too!!! so alike
Same.
Very similar
Or like Thor and Loki vibes
Or Transformers One, Aquaman and Ocean Master, Professor X and Magneto or many movies that just have the same exact story
The fact they kept similar voices from the original made it so much better
“There will be _one_ Lion King.”
HE SAID IT. HE SAID THE THING.
Roll credits!
@@melo3916 *ding*
Title reference.
Huzzah!
🎶I’m gonna be a Lion King… and when I see this world🎶.
The Scar and Mufasa relationship gives me Moses and Ramses or Thor and Loki vibes... One always meant to be the leader, the other adopted into the family, but they grew up with deep love for each other, but then relationship turned sour and they became bitter enemies.
Despite not caring much for the first live action reboot, the expressiveness on the character's faces in this trailer, plus it being a new story, is really selling me on it. Getting excited for this in a way I didn't expect!
This is CGI, not live action
Agreed! It's actually interesting now
I'm grateful they actually listened and made them more expressive. Plus, using white lions for an enemy pride is a pretty cool concept
yeah! I was quite surprised by that. the first movie felt so emotionless.
I expected nothing from it but this genuinely looks like it could be good. I hated the lion king remake with a passion but the animation in this actually looks decent and has a soul and actual visible expressions
As someone who grew up watching the original 1994 Lion King, I'll admit I was skeptical in watching this. Although after watching it, I was very pleased and feel they did a great job in this movie. It was nice to understand more of the back story of Mufasa and his brother Scar, I strongly believe they did a great job on this movie. If you grew up watching the original Lion King and liked it, I recommend watching this movie.
“I’m not stray I’m just lost” AH FOR HEAVEN SAKES THAT’L DO IT! 😭😭😭
