^But in what way? Sure, they're not complete imbeciles like some of the other Disney "sub-villains" (apart from Ed) but how are they different from the others based on what I said?
[quote="Ninaroja"] they only serve to do the main villains bidding for them, provide a few laughs when they don't do it right, provide a few laughs when the main villain chastises them for it, at times are complete bumbling idiots (not always), and have little to no bearing on the main story itself.[/quote]
1. Try to kill Simba in the Elephant Graveyard and then after the stampede
2. Are foiled both times, first by Mufasa and then by a thorn patch
3. The entire "Be Prepared" Sequence
4. The short scene before "Be Prepared", basically all of Ed and the bit after Simba escapes
5. They aren't a part of the main story line at all, besides inspiring Scar to kill Mufasa (and even then, that's clutching at straws.)
I'll just state my opinion again to make it clear to everyone: I don't hate the hyenas, but I equally don't particularly like them or think they're anything special. They aren't any of the main factors that make TLK so magical to me.
