Starching? That's a new one for me.

Yeah, the false and evil king who gaslights his subjects on the necessity of his tyranny. Scar was the rightful and honest ruler.

Killed Mufasa!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah Scar's rightful and honest rule was so great lmao

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was just dealing with the fallout from Mufasa's disastrous ecological and economic policies...

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I think his late reign was characterized more by inaction than action

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The people are simply tired of Mufasa's musical monarchism.

Yes, the jackals march in unison while fire shoots ominously into the sky but,

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didnt Scar make the kingdom worse?

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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.

I'm guessing Dad is a big Queen fan.

My dude skipped too many leg days

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Hah! I think we're only seeing one leg from a profile angle though. The seam down the side of the jeans gives the appearance of two twig legs. If the artist had added a sliver of rear leg, it'd probably read better, e.g.:

He did, but it's too dark to notice unless you look a bit hard at the image.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh damn, you're right, I didn't see that! It blends in almost entirely on my monitor. I can see it more now that I'm on my phone.

...Perhaps an excuse to finally buy an OLED monitor...?

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I definitely interpreted the seam as two legs but your version has some extra oumph

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did you use some artistic liberty on those guns?

and he obviously skips leg day

Aren't you afraid of Salvatore Ganacci?

The lion got cocky and dropped its guard long enough to allow that kinda full-send cross.

[–] ScruffyDucky@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

KAPOW Mr. Kitty

Like a high school freshman party, that's a weak punch.

[–] absGeekNZ 1 points 1 day ago

Next minute, the lion grabs his arm, tears it from the shoulder and proceeds to crush his skull in its jaws.

The lion lies down after its light snack.

Soooo... your solution to your kid's fears is animal abuse?
