Is that an unpopular opinion? I'd agree
In Upendi is better. The villain songs in TLK films I don't find so catchy as the other songs.[/quote]
From
Favorite/Least Favorite Scene:
[quote="Arbystrider"]My least favourite scene would be... My Lullaby because it felt weird to have a lullaby, a peaceful song used to induce sleep, become something like a war chant/creed because Zira keeps emphasising how Kovu was destined to kill Simba and stuff when he grows up and becomes fully trained. But then again, Outlanders work in mysterious ways.

Since everyone here's giving In Upendi a whole lot of flak, I thought I might as well put my two cents in and express how I feel about that scene.
I view In Upendi more of a comedic fantasy sequence than an actual story element, because the only thing I thought of the entire time was this:
"Rafiki! What are you doing! Rafiki! Stahp! You're insane! The two already know they're in love, for crying out loud! No need to direct a musical about it! Rafiki, YOU'RE INSANE!"
Being a fantasy sequence, it conveys the message that love makes crazy stuff happen in the minds of those in love - You know, things like defying Newton's laws of motion, literally holding stars in your hands, using a lilypad as a gondola, sitting on clouds, using large leaves as parachutes, etc, etc.
That's right, I don't hate In Upendi.[/quote]
If you look around that thread, you'll find a significant amount on people not liking In Upendi.
