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.
@@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.
James Earl Jones, the star behind Darth Vader and Mufasa, passed away at 93 years old. This backstory sequel could be dedicated to him since this year is not only Donald Duck's 90th birthday, but also, the 30th anniversary of The Lion King.
@@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.
@@Comicbookanimationmarvelhave 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.
@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.
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
Anyone else notice that they cast a British guy to play Mufasa, a lion with an American accent, and they cast an American guy to play Scar, a lion with a British accent.
@@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.
This is why I root for the perceived villain. Because the backstory always shows they are actually either the hero or justified in their actions to some degree.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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
@@PsychicEdge4812 Are you talking about that book series? The one that later on involved "Kopa"? Yeah that series wasn't canon. It came out during a time when Disney was basically outsourcing their characters to people to make books for them. Disney had nothing to do with it, there isn't even a true official Disney stamp on it. The author himself stated that the stories were all his and not canon.
Shenzi: I just hear that name, and I shudder. Banzai: Mufasa! Shenzi: Oooh. Do it again. Banzai: Mufasa! Shenzi: Oooh! Banzai: Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa! Shenzi: It tingles me!
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
Tbf the 2019 remake was definitely one of the much better Disney live action remakes, and I like the idea of the movie being a story told to Simba, Pumbaa and Timone, doesn’t drop us in out of nowhere which is nice. Also makes you wonder if this flashback is set during the Lion King but happened offscreen. But more likely that that cub is one of Simba and Nala’s children.
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.

Imagine how great this movie would have been if it was 2D animated 😅: Edit for clarification for pedantic people who seem to have no common sense and kudos to those who got it the first try lol. Also hope you're all having a great day 😄
This looks WAY better than the first live action one! The colors look more vibrant, the animals look more emotive and it feels a bit more animated while still capturing the realistic aspects.
imo, these realistic models isn't expressive and felt awkward most of the time. i wish they could've just change the model a little more animated and stylish more than just bland "realistic".
@@siddiq069I agree. I seen artwork of it looking like a realistic version of the original animated one. Where their features were the same and the colors were as dynamic as the original while the cgi enhanced it. I would have preferred something like that but Disney is Disney I guess
I know this and the first movie got a lot of hate for various reasons. But as a 3d artist myself, my mouth is just wide open when watching this, it is truly incredible what you guys did here!!!
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
I just can't get past how bad they've messed up the backstory. Scar and Mufasa not only being not related by blood, but to make Mufasa an outsider who became king completely breaks the lore of the long line of kings he's supposed to have come from. Even if they do the whole "actually he's the lost prince who really was supposed to be king all along" thing, that still changes a lot. Mufasa has always exhuded an air of royalty from birth, raised to be king by his father and mother, while his younger brother was always jealous, and grew up resentful of his brother. Plus, they seem to be doing the "Pride Rock discovery" route, so it's not this longstanding home of these lion kings for generations, but one that Mufasa just discovered and made his home. The whole thing just screams modern "original" storytelling and rewriting for the sake of the writer putting their own spin on things. Mufasa came from nowhere to show that anyone could rise up to become king, because we want him to be a good guy, but if he was born to be king and always raised like that, well then he's one of the privileged rich people, who are bad we dont like them. Ugh.
Well said. It also ruins the ending of not just the original animated film but ironically the original reboot, because Simba being the rightful heir that returned to take back his homeland from his uncle Scar is just undermined when you make Mufasa an outsider who became king, thus making Simba not biologically related to Scar at all and thus not even the true king, but the son of an outsider. Unless there's a twist that makes Mufasa the long-lost prince/firstborn, but even then by looking at this trailer now, I can't see how that would be possible. It really does feel like they're going in the "anyone can be Supers" direction. It baffles me how everyone is gushing about the facial expressions on the CGI lions and ignoring the fact that already this retcon just messes up the lore of the great kings of the past, their generational ties to Pride Rock, Mufasa's relationship with Scar, Mufasa's bloodline and Simba's status as the rightful heir to the throne, and Simba's return to the Pridelands after avoiding his responsibilities for so long.
I Can’t Believe Mufasa Was An Orphan, And He & Scar Were Best Friends When They Were Young, And A Pride Of White Lions Attacked Them And Their Pride, I Really Can’t Wait To Watch That Movie When It Comes Out
RIP James Earl Jones. The Lion King was my favorite movie as a kid. I was 4 when it came out and I watched it every day lol. Now I watch it with my daughter! ♥ And at 34 years old I still cry when Mufasa dies..
Just remember the clues from the first film (and the additions from the cartoons version): Scene 1 Mufasa: Is that a challenge? Scar/Taka: I wouldn't dream of challenging you...again! Scene 2 Scar/Taka: We can finally take what we want. Sarabai: We? Scar/Taka: Long ago you chose Mufasa over me...but now there's a new king! Scene 3: More chill lines, implying that Taka is giving us two clues about a more hidden and detailed backstory that all three of them in the scene is aware of: - Was that today, the presentation? (Must have slipped my mind...) (BUT) as you know .. I have .. Tremendous! .. Respect!! .. For the Queen!!! (Clue 1) - As the king's brother, you should have been first in line I WAS first in line! ... or don't you remember? (Clue 2) (Interpretation = Or: Do you NOT remember what was Promised / what WE ALL agreed on?)
Maybe they both got thrown aside 1:23 .. ran through the desert .. found Pride rock together .. and after then Kiros (white lion) where defeated, Taka challenged him for the throne (Scene 1) ... but where did the Sarabi sequence (Scene 2 and the rest of the hunting party) come from .. .. well; December 20, here we all come!
Also I mean you could see Scar becoming evil and resentful towards Mufeas more now as Scar is the first born or biological son of the King and an adopted son in his eyes comes in and "steals" his promised kingdom. So this Scar from his POV Mufeas is the villain
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.
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
I pretty sure at his home maybe but not like Scott and Mufasa live in probably for the beginning. You just need to wait and see and dive in more to destroy and give us more detail if we ever get a second trailer
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 😅
@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 curious as well. I also wonder how they will give him his scar in this unless the lion guard scar story is canon. Or perhaps maybe Mufasa gave him that scar?? We won't know til we watch it
The storyline to retcon this so that Mufasa isn't antagonised might be: 1.Mufasa is lost 2.Scar/Taka finds him and gets him accepted into taka's pride 3. Taka's pride somehow stumbles upon Mufasa's original pride 4. Mufasa is able to recognize his original pride, but they're an extremely aggressive and territorial pride 5. Mufasa's pride kills Taka's pride. Mufasa protects Taka, and they fight to overthrow the current king of his pride. 6. Mufasa becomes the new king of his original pride, Taka is welcomed in as his brother. 7. Taka, who has now lost his pride and throne eventually grows resentful. But Mufasa can't help that because this is his own pride and he should rightfully be it's King even so as to avoid anarchy.
I think scar's view point at that time was like "i saved his life and/but i would also end it" thing. He probably grew resentful of mufasa bc his pride was annihilated by mufasa's original pride. I searched up in googs, that they grew distant and hostile each other after mufasa became leader or somthing.
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
I'm Boycotting everything Disney until they blacklist Zegler - They fired Gina, but NOT Zelger?! Gina said she felt censorship is feeling oppressive in the industry, while Zegler wished half the country to "never know peace."
This movie isnt canon to the original animated Lion King 1994. In the original 1994 version, Scar and Mufasa are brothers. This movie is canon and connected to the live action version of Lion King 2019
@@kgkg4118 completely makes no sense.

@@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.

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.

@@Beautifullytragic6 Exactly.

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 was thinking exactly the same thing
This is why I root for the perceived villain. Because the backstory always shows they are actually either the hero or justified in their actions to some degree.
YASSS!!!
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

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.

@@tomascastilloleyton6848 yeah, Mufasa is actually a wholesome character which they try to tamper with in this new adaptation by making him a stray .

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.

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.

I just can't get past how bad they've messed up the backstory. Scar and Mufasa not only being not related by blood, but to make Mufasa an outsider who became king completely breaks the lore of the long line of kings he's supposed to have come from. Even if they do the whole "actually he's the lost prince who really was supposed to be king all along" thing, that still changes a lot. Mufasa has always exhuded an air of royalty from birth, raised to be king by his father and mother, while his younger brother was always jealous, and grew up resentful of his brother. Plus, they seem to be doing the "Pride Rock discovery" route, so it's not this longstanding home of these lion kings for generations, but one that Mufasa just discovered and made his home. The whole thing just screams modern "original" storytelling and rewriting for the sake of the writer putting their own spin on things. Mufasa came from nowhere to show that anyone could rise up to become king, because we want him to be a good guy, but if he was born to be king and always raised like that, well then he's one of the privileged rich people, who are bad we dont like them. Ugh.
There is grass outside begging to be touched
Well said. It also ruins the ending of not just the original animated film but ironically the original reboot, because Simba being the rightful heir that returned to take back his homeland from his uncle Scar is just undermined when you make Mufasa an outsider who became king, thus making Simba not biologically related to Scar at all and thus not even the true king, but the son of an outsider. Unless there's a twist that makes Mufasa the long-lost prince/firstborn, but even then by looking at this trailer now, I can't see how that would be possible. It really does feel like they're going in the "anyone can be Supers" direction. It baffles me how everyone is gushing about the facial expressions on the CGI lions and ignoring the fact that already this retcon just messes up the lore of the great kings of the past, their generational ties to Pride Rock, Mufasa's relationship with Scar, Mufasa's bloodline and Simba's status as the rightful heir to the throne, and Simba's return to the Pridelands after avoiding his responsibilities for so long.

Male lions usually go to a different pack to rule (prevent inbreeding)
So one can say that Mufasa was meant to be King, but Simba is not.
Just remember the clues from the first film
(and the additions from the cartoons version):
Scene 1
Mufasa: Is that a challenge?
Scar/Taka: I wouldn't dream of challenging you...again!
Scene 2
Scar/Taka: We can finally take what we want.
Sarabai: We?
Scar/Taka: Long ago you chose Mufasa over me...but now there's a new king!
Scene 3:
More chill lines, implying that Taka is giving us two clues about a more hidden and detailed backstory that all three of them in the scene is aware of:
- Was that today, the presentation? (Must have slipped my mind...)
(BUT) as you know .. I have .. Tremendous! .. Respect!! .. For the Queen!!! (Clue 1)
- As the king's brother, you should have been first in line
I WAS first in line! ... or don't you remember? (Clue 2)
(Interpretation = Or: Do you NOT remember what was Promised / what WE ALL agreed on?)
Maybe they both got thrown aside 1:23 .. ran through the desert .. found Pride rock together .. and after then Kiros (white lion) where defeated, Taka challenged him for the throne (Scene 1) ... but where did the Sarabi sequence (Scene 2 and the rest of the hunting party) come from .. .. well; December 20, here we all come!
Also I mean you could see Scar becoming evil and resentful towards Mufeas more now as Scar is the first born or biological son of the King and an adopted son in his eyes comes in and "steals" his promised kingdom.
So this Scar from his POV Mufeas is the villain
Mufasa: I will be king.
Kimba: THERE WILL BE ONE LION KING!👑
His name is actually Kiros so you were pretty close.

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.
...Thank you, for encouraging me to watch the old classic lion king again.
That's what I'm saying. Lion King was part of my childhood and it was never implied that Taka/Scar or Mufasa were adopted brothers
You can also watch the Lion King II afterwards, and you can already see this movie before it comes out.
@@Ravenfanatic5 Yeah. I might have some theories of my own.
@@carminecdinoproductions care to share now or later?
@@verysadcatc7897 Scar: You’re welcome!
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
So scar was right!! He was the rightful king!
I pretty sure at his home maybe but not like Scott and Mufasa live in probably for the beginning. You just need to wait and see and dive in more to destroy and give us more detail if we ever get a second trailer
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
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 😅
Mufasa: "We were brothers once"
Optimus: "Ey! me too!!!"
@sonaldon-u8iracist
@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
@sonaldon-u8i well it's not Disney if no DiversitY involved.. even if it's just animals, they need to be a part of it.. 😎
Sacr: "Once".
Megatron: "yo! Me too!!!".💀
@@samer4121Aren't they just albino?
i like how scar's personality has been shown here. Wonder what made him to change
I'm curious as well. I also wonder how they will give him his scar in this unless the lion guard scar story is canon. Or perhaps maybe Mufasa gave him that scar?? We won't know til we watch it
The storyline to retcon this so that Mufasa isn't antagonised might be:
1.Mufasa is lost
2.Scar/Taka finds him and gets him accepted into taka's pride
3. Taka's pride somehow stumbles upon Mufasa's original pride
4. Mufasa is able to recognize his original pride, but they're an extremely aggressive and territorial pride
5. Mufasa's pride kills Taka's pride. Mufasa protects Taka, and they fight to overthrow the current king of his pride.
6. Mufasa becomes the new king of his original pride, Taka is welcomed in as his brother.
7. Taka, who has now lost his pride and throne eventually grows resentful. But Mufasa can't help that because this is his own pride and he should rightfully be it's King even so as to avoid anarchy.
🥱
no mufasas pride was the one that was attacked by white lions
Thanks for saving us the time. Next!
I think scar's view point at that time was like "i saved his life and/but i would also end it" thing.
He probably grew resentful of mufasa bc his pride was annihilated by mufasa's original pride. I searched up in googs, that they grew distant and hostile each other after mufasa became leader or somthing.
Thanks for helping make it make sense because I was legit lost 😅
MUFASA: I’m not a stray. I’m just….lost
😂
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?
I'm Boycotting everything Disney until they blacklist Zegler - They fired Gina, but NOT Zelger?!
Gina said she felt censorship is feeling oppressive in the industry, while Zegler wished half the country to "never know peace."
Taka: I've always wanted a brother
Scar in every other movie: I was supposed to be king
Honestly thought they were saying "Tucker"... 😒
@@cheerfulguy75 Taka: I’ve always wanted a sister
Zazu never signs up for anything 😂😂😂
Sounds like AI
"There will be one Lion King."
OH MY GOD, HE SAID THE THING!!
Imagine if by the end of the film, we hear "I am Mufasa, the Lion King"
"Well Master Wayne, I suppose this truly is how Batman Begins"
"There is only one Lord of The Ring!" Seriously, it's exactly the same.
@@AznJsn82091 I'm screenshotting this and saving it until December. If this becomes canon, you my friend, will make the front page of Reddit
R.I.P. James Earl Jones 😢 I love Lions ❤❤
0:59 “I’ve always wanted to have a brother”
and
1:59 “I’m here to protect you, my brother”
Why does this hit hard!?😢
Bcz some of us heard the same words when we were younger… until we took different roads.
Probably because of what Scar will end up doing to him years later
This makes the original Lion King even more heartbreaking. 😭
this makes the original stupid. They already had a written story of mufasa and scar and they rewrote it for "modern audiences" again.
No it just retcons it
This movie isnt canon to the original animated Lion King 1994. In the original 1994 version, Scar and Mufasa are brothers.
This movie is canon and connected to the live action version of Lion King 2019
Unbelievable
0:59 "I always wanted a brother" this reminded me of Brother Bear
Yeah, it’s giving me Brother Bear vibes.
I never knew Scar used to be so humble, he's broken
2:23 it feels good to hear the old music again

Young Scar: I always want to be a king....I mean brother (in a British accent)
Old Scar: Long live the king
Scar: well if it isn't my big brother...
Taka: I rescued a stranger of no bloodline to me
Yeah, I don't like how they're changing the storyline from the OG
@@kgkg4118 completely makes no sense. Unless this is another Disney "Anyone can be a king" like they did to star wars, "anyone can be a Jedi/force user"
Or it turns out mufasa was the king and queen e long lost son born before taka then got lost, the lied to taka and everyone and we learn the truth at the end
They're biological brothers. Disney is hoping we forgot that little fact.
My face when I found out Mufasa was actually adopted 😮
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
