[quote="Julie Skywalker"][quote="KingOfPrideLands"]I didn't get the impression that they were really trying to injure each other, just scare each other off. If it had been a more serious fight (to the degree that they injured or were trying to injure each other), it definitely would have been dramatized, or they would have apologized or something, or there would have at least been some scratch marks.[/quote]
Nala was hunting for food when Simba stopped her. She was trying to hurt him. And as for him... she had been trying to eat one of his best friends. To imply that neither of them was trying to hurt the other displays a lack of understanding in the way animals act when that hungry and in the way that humans and animals react to threats on the lives of their close friends and/or family. In a way, they did apologize, by ceasing to try and kill each other and having the good time that they did, even though they weren't shown to say "I'm sorry;" but it wasn't necessary they say it either in that the joy of being reunited ended their dispute and they bore no ill will upon realizing who the other was. The battle was dramatized,[/quote]
[quote="KingOfPrideLands"]I beg to differ. Sarabi was nearly knocked out and couldn't get up. I'd say she took just as much, if not more.
You're wrong. She got up not long thereafter. Likely, Scar's attack knocked her down like that because she was probably weak from hunger... which while unpleasant and difficult to deal with, is not the same as pain. I'm not saying it didn't hurt or that she wasn't in a bad way because of it... I'm just saying, Scar hit Simba a lot more times than he hit her, and Simba hit Scar a lot more than that as well. She couldn't have taken more pain from that blow than the two of them did fighting. It's impossible--unless Scar put all of his strength into that strike and didn't have any left to fight Simba with... which is obviously not true or Simba would have easily defeated Scar.

[quote="KingOfPrideLands"]She only got up with help from the other lionesses...and she didn't look weak before to me...
...also, Simba was injured when he collapsed in the desert, right?
[quote="Julie Skywalker"] Are you another troll, or are you trying to instigate something, or are you simply daft? Getting up with help is still getting up. You said she couldn't get up. That is false. And just because they helped her up doesn't mean she couldn't have gotten up on her own, it just means they cared about her and did help. After all, after getting up, she fought alongside the other lionesses and then was walking around perfectly fine...[/quote][/quote][/quote]
Not exactly on topic, but why are you so angry, Julie? You bluntly call one member wrong, then rudely call him/her wrong again, and then accuse him/her of being a troll just for making a valid observation. Are you ok?
