Are Zira and Scar siblings?

Are Zira and Scar siblings?

Postby ScarLoyal » April 25th, 2014, 4:30 pm

I've stumbled upon this theory and it doesn't sound too illogical. They have a similar genotype.



(Scrawny frame, dark eye patches and small irises.) And whether it may be true or not it was even on a Disney site that explains the story more and possibly fills some plot holes. :peeky:
http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/anima ... _king.html

It’s here that Kiara meets the mischievous Kovu, a young cub who, unbeknownst to her, is Scar’s nephew. Before his demise, Scar told his sister Zira that he wanted Kovu to be raised as his chosen successor to the throne. After Simba banished Zira, Scar’s sister-in-law Serabi and Scar’s other followers to the Outlands at the end of The Lion King, Zira dedicated herself to training Kovu for his historic role. In order to walk in Scar’s paw prints, he would need to defeat Simba and take over the animal kingdom.

This really gets me thinking about the characters relations to each other.. Zira being Scar's sister and therefore making her son Kovu Scar's nephew. It would make sense. But what I can't wrap my mind around is how Simba exiled his own mother who is 'apparently' Scar's follower.. but I suppose in some twisted 'bent' way it could work.. maybe Sarabi mated Scar and had Nuka.. But anyway, i like that for the first time there's finally an 'official' statement about Zira and Scar's relationship. How 'non canon' it may be.. I thought it was rather interesting.
What do you think? :D

(EDIT)
Really? That's a shame. :( I actually liked that theory. But the 'exiling' part doesn't really make sense so I guess it's false. :P

I think it's just what it is, a theory... Nothing more.

But it's on Disney's website, that means they actually are.

That's new to me too

I've seen that webpage before, but just because it's on a Disney website doesn't make it sacred proof. What's official about the films and the characters are the words and commentary by the filmmakers themselves. It makes no sense for Simba to exile his own mother, and never once was it indicated Sarabi was a loyal follower of Scar; in fact, she had the gall to invoke Mufasa's legacy to Scar when it was against the law to. Given the Simba's Pride filmmakers removed Kovu from being related to Scar, it's nonsense for him to suddenly be Scar's nephew. In the movie, Zira makes no mention of being related to Scar; she just wants to continue his legacy.

For an "official" statement about Scar and Zira's relationship, SP director Darrell Rooney produced this statement: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2011 ... 2/Wwww.png

Well, I do like the theory and have been using it in the development of a fanfic, but the site really does discredit itself when it both misspells Sarabi and claims that she was a follower of Scar whom Simba exiled. Officially, Scar and Zira's relationship was "obscured." So it isn't definitive one way or another.

Well whoever wrote that stuff on that Disney website seriously needs to get his/her sh!t together. Can't believe some people are actually gullible enough to even believe any of it, just because it was written on a Disney website...

^ It was never updated by the film makers of TLK and SP themselves. But it MIGHT be canon just because Disney says so although I strongly disagree with that theory myself

I don't like Disney that much at all but I consider TLK (and SP) as the best movie ever. I can't believe they were actually made by Disney
