Looks like Mufasa though.
Yeah, the false and evil king who gaslights his subjects on the necessity of his tyranny. Scar was the rightful and honest ruler.
What did Scar do for us?
Killed Mufasa!
Yeah Scar's rightful and honest rule was so great lmao
He was just dealing with the fallout from Mufasa's disastrous ecological and economic policies...
I think his late reign was characterized more by inaction than action
The people are simply tired of Mufasa's musical monarchism.
Yes, the jackals march in unison while fire shoots ominously into the sky but,
But Scar had musical monarchy too, he was just an usurper, not really a revolutionary
Indeed. No social commentary to be found there!
Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave
Didnt Scar make the kingdom worse?
He reined over a period of drought, but there's no way he could have controlled the weather. That's like blaming the government for there being car accidents. Simba exploited the working and noble classes into thinking that Scar was to blame for natural cycles. Thus he was able to lead a rebellion against their best interests and restored his line to the monarchy. Upper nobles playing everyone else against each other but, at the end of the day, the monarchical status quo was maintained. Feudalism in action.
Lion king did not explicitly say Scar did not have a weather machine so i choose to believe scar has a weather machine.
c/ScarDidNothingWrong
If I had to choose between a king without scars, and one with them, I'd always go with the latter. Scarless bitch probably had everything handed to them, never even fought a real fight.
