My Lion King Forum

Hi ive decied to say this because it was something that i've been wondering about for along time.
When i saw LK on broadway madness of king Scar stuck in my mind. WHy. Because of one detail.
Scar tries to seduce Nala.
Now if i am correct Nala is way younger then Scar and it is the equivelent of a 60 or 70 yearold trying to seduce a nineteen year old.
So who did i go to
Being below the age of 65 and a Internet cafe far from walkable i asked my dad about this. Using are knowledge of Medieval history and other aspects of the production. We pinpointed some facts
1. Scar might not care all he cared about was dominance influence and power. example King John and thriteen yearold Isabella of Angouleme.
2. It might be his way of showing "i can take what i want when i want"
3. Hinted in the title Madness of King Scar.
4.Scar feeling Nala was beautiful and not caring about her age.
5. Isnt it a belief that Nalas father is a rougue of some sort. Scar might of believde Nala owed her for him not kicking her out of the pride.
6. A punisment for Nala for not hunting and for questioning his power
These are some of the facts i have collected what do you think

To answer the question: both

Scar was not that old to be the equivalent to a 60 or 70 year old man, more like a 40 something year old guy.
But anyway, he felt like he owned the land and his subjects, including Nala. He could do whatever he want with them. He wanted someone who could adore and respect him inconditionally, to show everyone he was loved. He could have children. He was not interested in having a family, per se, but he wanted to leave his mark, to have descendents.
He needed the best queen he could have. The most attractive, the most desired, one he could easily dominate. He thought Nala was the perfect choice. She grew up during his reign, she would respect and fear him more, she was also very attractive and young.

I think it was because Scar was power crazy. Him seducing Nala was just a way for him to exert his power.

thanks when i said 60 and stuff i meant it in human terms

i read on anouther tlk site that the person who animated scar wanted to show him putting the moves on nala or sarabi to show he was straight, because in the movie he acts alittle gay, maybe the people on broadway desided to show that part?

Even in human terms I think Scar was not even close to 60.

I still keep thinking that Scar was obsess
